*music*
Get your ass in the game right now.
Very stressed.
Get your head in the game.
You are squishes.
Squish. And me.
Yeah.
My stress isn't that high actually.
I think I might fuck off for the rest of the day.
Don't you usually?
Fuck off to your laboratory?
No, I just got it.
So wouldn't you use it most that time?
Um...
I don't know. I haven't had a chance to use it.
Well, maybe you will tonight.
Maybe.
Alright.
Well, we gotta dole out a lot of points.
Uh...
So, uh...
We'll start with, uh...
Character...
XP.
So you all got a...
8 XP for your characters.
Hell yeah.
That you can add.
Uh...
While you guys are adding on your XP.
You guys...
You probably...
Most of you.
I think all of you should be able to upgrade.
So you can pick a new ability.
Special ability.
Or a new...
Uh...
Add a new attribute.
Point to your attributes.
If you want to upgrade on something.
I just want more Tinker.
I believe you are maxed out on Tinker.
You know what's funny is that...
Except for...
The captain.
Oh no, wait.
You've got some Squish.
I was about to say...
You have no, like...
People skills whatsoever.
Your character is completely devoid...
Of, uh...
Of any sort of...
You know...
Convincing argument.
I wasn't listening.
What was...
What's going on?
I...
I got cut out.
You have no people skills.
Your character has no people skills.
Squish?
Chuckles.
Oh.
Yeah?
But I got Tinker skills.
I'm just saying.
Uh...
Yeah, I guess.
Oh, 'cause it resolve...
Attune command.
Yeah, like your attunement...
Your command...
I don't really want to...
Anyway, here...
I think that's stupid.
Anyway, while you go through this...
Here's my notes for...
What you got XP for.
Chuckles.
One creation of Boom Boom Sauce.
One conjugal visit.
One blow up.
Three character growth.
Two tinker.
Character growth.
Captain.
One kahuna wave.
Three personal growth.
Two wreck.
One survey.
One nut punch.
What is the kahuna wave?
Boom.
Roasted.
Oh, that's...
That's when...
That's the name of the ship that Bugs B.
Name drop.
Yeah, it's from his past.
Squish.
One recipe finding.
One survey.
One wreck.
Three shots.
One thrift.
One growth.
One thrift?
What is thrift?
One thrift.
Theft.
Sorry.
Theft.
Sorry.
I'm having a hard time.
No.
So you guys can...
Give yourself your points, and then if you want to upgrade, you know, go ahead and do that.
Can you repeat how many points I got?
Eight.
Eight XP.
So down where it has your abilities, you have those tabs there.
You see that?
Yeah.
So I already had one.
You have one, right?
Yeah.
So you can add on eight.
Bitchin'.
I only had seven left.
How do I add on another one?
So you can upgrade, and then when you press that circle in the corner by the tabs, do you see that?
Where it's like a zero with a circle around it?
Uh-huh.
Click that.
That clears it out, and then you give yourself one more.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, and then you get to, like I said, you can pick another ability, you can add to your attributes.
Abilities, huh?
Oh, I can add a whole 'nother ability?
Mm-hmm.
Or I can add a point to one of my skills or whatever, right?
Or what do you call them?
Yes.
Attributes.
But they're skills, yeah.
Okay.
Essentially.
All right.
Let's see.
What are these fucking abilities?
Did I print out a sheet for that?
Uh, if you do the plus for abilities, you can see all of them, but it's kind of, uh...
You just have to...
Yeah, I was hoping that I had a...
I thought I might have printed out a list of all the different abilities, but I did not.
It's not...
Is it on my character sheet?
Uh, it might be in your character guide, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
Because I see the ones that are for leech.
Um...
Oh, you can hover...
Oh, you can hover over the question mark and it tells you what they are.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yours would be the T for Tinker.
No.
Leech.
L-E for leech, right?
Oh, leech.
Yeah, you're right.
Sorry.
Your character's a leech.
I was trying to figure that out.
You're right.
Or is that it?
Uh, so...
Go ahead, Bridget.
Sorry.
No, go ahead.
If you go to abilities, it, like, lists all these different, uh, abilities.
It's got a letter next to your name that is your character class.
Oh, okay.
And then you can just hover over the question mark.
Catch.
So, like, Brandon's a whisperer.
So, he's all the W's.
Catch.
Oh, so I can only pick the W's?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, yeah, I would assume you'd have to pick one that's in your class.
What's W for?
Wizard?
Uh, whisperer.
Oh.
Hmm.
Oh, Torn.
I mean, I probably should get human.
What does veteran mean?
If you hover over the little question mark, it will, it will pop up.
I know, but I don't, it just, it will, first off, it's for whatever reason, it's not doing
on this one, but it's on my sheet and it says choose a special ability from another source.
What does that mean?
Oh, so that means you can pick any of the other abilities from another source.
Is that veteran?
Yeah, veteran.
Oh, you need to save up three, three points for that.
Oh, that's what the number is next to it.
Yeah.
How many points do I have?
Do I, I mean.
One.
Oh, I see.
You have one.
I've got two because I've saved one from last time.
I don't, where do you see the one at?
Is it just from the.
That's just how many levels you can, you can go up.
So like every time you level up, you get a skill, you can get an extra, like a point,
a skill point.
And if you save those up, you can do like three and do a veteran and pick a different trait
from a different class.
I think I'm going to save it then.
Okay.
So, so the one.
So when you fill, when you fill up the bar and you get one point, is that what it's called?
Points?
Yeah.
It's called.
Well, I mean, it's just XP is what it is.
Well, but each X, eight XP equals one point to spend.
One upgrade.
Yeah.
It's like one upgrade point.
Okay.
I just saying if for, or to help when Boo makes a note, so we know what he's talking about,
I'd call it an upgrade point.
So I only have, how do you keep track of the one upgrade point?
Is there, was there someplace on the character sheet that says that?
There's not.
Um, so I would make a note for yourself, but I'll also make a note right now that you are
saving yours.
And then Andy, you have one already.
Are you saving this one too?
No, I am going to, I'm torn between spending both of them on something or using one right
now.
Okay.
Captain.
I mean, I got, I'm going to, I'm definitely going to spend mine, but I don't know.
I think.
If you want to think about it for a little bit, we can go through some other points that
we're handing out as well.
Uh, if you want some time.
No, I, I, this, I think this is the one I want.
I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with it, but I, I just, I want it.
All right.
So what do you, let me see what you're doing.
All right.
I did add it.
Oh, here I can put it in the chat.
The Physicker.
You can tinker.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Uh, you're like a junior necromancer.
Yeah.
It doesn't.
So you can tinker.
Yeah.
Technically I think I'm, it's not, they have to not be dead.
So it's, it's, it's like, it's kind of a doctor.
Yeah.
No, I, I agree.
To keep it's not raising people from the dead.
Yeah.
It's to keep them, keep them alive.
Yeah.
So you took physical, uh, captain, you're going to keep your point for now.
Yeah.
I'm looking at ritual.
I mean, it says study in a cult ritual to summon a supernatural effect or being what, what a supernatural effect or being are they talking about?
Uh, well that, I mean, it depends on what you study.
There's not like a set guide for that.
So that would be something like if you wanted to be able to summon like a spell or something, you could use that.
Uh, what was this one?
Summon a what?
Like, I don't know, have a spell that you use to affect people or if you wanted to summon a ghost or a demon or something.
Well, this is a ritual and it says, it says you can study in a cult ritual.
And I don't.
And, uh, so would I have to get the ability of ritual and then I'd have to go study something before I could use it?
Uh, no, you would just be able to make your own study.
That would be your one.
That it would come with, you would just have to decide what you want your ritual to be.
You have to discuss it.
Then what can I just, then what can I summon?
I'm a little confused.
What would you like?
What would you like to summon?
A fireball.
What a surprise.
Are you wearing that shirt?
Yeah.
So maybe you're, uh, you're able to summon like a fire demon that can just start chucking fireballs for you.
All right.
I guess I'll do that.
Okay.
Is it going to have a character and everything?
So, so, so he's picking one ritual and this ritual is a demon who some, who has fireballs.
Right.
Okay.
This, yeah, I think this is, would be a good opportunity for a backstory.
I mean, it doesn't have to be now, but.
Yeah.
You're going to have to tell us about how you learned it.
Uh, I'll, I'll ask you those questions, but like, yeah.
What do you mean?
Like how I learned it?
Yeah.
Did you, how did you learn?
How did you learn this, uh, this ability?
I just got XP for it.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
Like in story?
Like how did your character, like imagine your character.
How did he.
Okay.
I'll have to think about it.
I didn't, uh, I didn't anticipate this tonight.
I forgot.
So.
It's okay.
I mean.
It's more just for story background, but yeah.
Okay.
So you got, you got a fireball demon.
That's the thing you can summon.
I mean, you have a Butler demon.
And I was just thinking that maybe you could have a fireball demon.
And.
It'd be interesting.
How that might be.
You're like becoming a Pokemon master.
Yeah.
Well, and because it is a ritual though.
So you do have to do a little bit of a song and dance before they'll come out.
Oh no.
The captain hates song and dance.
Essentially.
We're going to start sarcasm there.
Yeah.
Your senses are on.
Hmm.
You're just jealous.
So I took sharpshooter.
Oh, you did take that.
Yeah.
Which is, you can push yourself to do one of the following.
Make a range attack an extreme distance beyond what's normal for the weapon or unleash a barrage of rapid fire to suppress the enemy.
And I took the vengeful, which I think will really help us.
You gain an additional XP trigger.
You got payback against someone who harmed you or someone you care about.
If your crew helped you get payback, also mark crew XP.
Ooh.
Okay.
Nice.
Yeah.
So now we just got to get, go back and get that little chubby fat kid.
Oh yeah.
He didn't hurt us.
Or maybe just.
He insulted us and that hurt somebody I love.
I don't.
Which is yourself.
Which is myself.
The little fat kid?
What was his name?
Tubbly?
He had a funny name.
Curd Swallow?
No.
No, no, no.
That's a.
He's the drunk.
He's Rickety Cricket.
No.
Yeah.
I don't remember him insulting us.
I thought he was very helpful.
And then I wanted to help him even more, but you guys weren't really for that.
And I did take it to an extreme.
You did.
Yeah.
Are you talking about Pritchard?
Huh?
Was that his name?
What was his last name?
Templeton, I think.
Yeah, Templeton.
Yeah.
We call him Templeton P-Pants or something.
P-P Templeton.
P-Pants Templeton.
Yeah.
Right.
Maybe he's going to be vengeful against us for calling him P-P Templeton.
He should be grateful.
We scared those kids for him and he was so happy.
Those were heady days.
All right.
Everyone happy with their extra XP that they got?
Their XP?
Any questions?
Brandon?
You got any questions?
Okay.
Can I not do my story for my thing right now?
Yeah, no.
You don't have to.
Okay.
But if someone were to ask, "Hey, Captain, where did you get that demon from that can throw
fireballs?"
Okay.
It doesn't have to be part of your backstory.
You learn it.
You could have just picked up a book or something.
I wish I'd ask the captain, "Where did you get that demon from?"
No, I'm just messing with that.
Okay.
You don't have to.
Okay.
Crew.
Your crew XP, because you also get crew XP.
You also get eight because you hit every single one of your triggers multiple times.
I didn't even know I had a trigger.
Yeah, what are our hard triggers?
You do have a crew trigger.
Your crew triggers?
If you express your background or you guys come together as a group.
If you take somebody on above your station.
If you successfully complete a mission.
And if you do it using subterfuge in some way.
Those are your XP's.
And now number five, in case you XP for payback, basically.
Well, that was after.
Wow.
Right.
No, that doesn't count now.
But like.
Okay.
If you go to the shadows crew list.
Oh.
It says under XP, it says execute a successful blah, blah, blah.
All the things I.
Oh, I don't think I.
Oh, I don't have that printed out either.
All right.
But it should be.
Don't we have a character?
Yeah.
The ball.
You have a crew.
You have a character.
Shadows.
Okay.
All right.
So you guys.
Your crew went up.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
You guys.
Went up a level.
So you can upgrade your guys's crew.
There's a couple different things you can do.
You can get a new ability as a group.
Or you can get a new item.
Like if you want to upgrade your.
The junk fort.
You can do that.
Well, I like.
Can we put wheels on it?
So we can move it.
Wheels.
In case someone's after us.
Dude, I'm serious.
Like if you piss off the guy who gave it to you.
Let's put wheels on it and get it out of here.
It's not like he's going to be able to sell this thing.
Who's going to.
Like.
It was just collecting dust.
He's going to blow it up.
It would be the perfect crime.
They would think we did it.
There'd be no evidence left.
Which ability did we take before?
Crew.
You guys took.
You all can attune.
Well, we certainly didn't take advantage of that.
Is that the everyone steals?
Is that what it is?
Oh, it's on there.
Everyone steals.
Special abilities.
Everyone steals.
Each PC might plus one action rating.
We definitely could have used that.
Oh, there we go.
I forgot about that.
I put the.
Oh, no.
I know.
We definitely took synchronized.
That one's on.
Can you see it already, Andy?
Yeah.
Okay.
You guys.
You guys already added on to everyone steals.
I think we did that.
That was one of the things we did in the beginning.
Okay.
So we definitely should have been.
Taking advantage of that.
If you click on.
Junk boys.
You can.
It's under the abilities tab.
Oh, it's not working for me.
You can't click on junk boys.
It's yeah.
I'm clicking on it.
Nothing's happening.
The character that's on the.
In the junk fort.
On the side.
Where it says.
I can't click on it either.
Yeah.
You have to click on the avatar.
The ball.
Let's see.
Oh, it just might be us.
I.
I pinned the.
The book.
And the messages.
So I opened that on the.
Okay.
But it shouldn't.
Oh, that's token configuration.
You should be able to see it.
I would think.
Display name represented.
Yeah.
It must.
Maybe there's a.
Permissions or something.
Configure ownership.
All players.
Oh, it says none.
Observer.
All players.
I changed it.
Now you should be able to.
There it is.
All right.
You see a little white ghost.
That says ball blasters.
We are really heated.
Oh, it's even going to get worse.
Oh, boy.
Oh, wait.
You haven't added our heat yet.
No.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
So you can guys can upgrade your shadows.
So you can get a crew like a mini crew that works with you.
Cohorts.
Rooks or skulls.
I don't know what those are.
I don't know either.
Hold on.
I'm looking them up.
So what you're saying is we're.
There's a chance.
Putting together a team.
You could say that.
A gang.
You can get two free load.
Or you can have easy passage in the criminal underground.
Oh, like tunnels.
Yeah.
We have like a monk hole.
Monk hole.
What was the first one?
The first one.
You can get.
An extra.
Crew upgrade.
Oh.
It's not a crew guide.
Sorry.
You can add to your crew.
You basically get a group of a small group that can do things for you.
And you don't have to.
So you guys could have.
Rooks.
Was it skulks or rooks?
Yeah.
Like a.
Like a Dwayne.
A skulk is a scout infiltrator and thief.
A rook is a con artist spy or socialite.
We're never going to use those.
Yeah.
You can also add on to like another item onto your layer.
layer.
If you want.
I just looked at my loadout.
I have.
I have a book named.
Becoming a vampire for dumb dumbs.
Yeah.
You saw that in like the very first.
Uh.
Session.
You haven't done anything with it.
No.
But I've been playing with bones a lot.
So.
I feel like it's either that or serial killing is in my future.
You're going to go on to be a doctor or a serial killer.
Either really.
All right.
I don't know what to do with this.
I was very happy with the laboratory.
I feel like that's going to benefit me a lot.
And us.
You know.
Transitively.
So.
I'm open for someone else to have a passion about one of our upgrades.
I mean.
I feel like our crew upgrade of DD is already pretty powerful.
Although she wasn't very helpful last time.
Um.
And we basically just blew off Dwayne.
And we're going to be a good one.
Um.
And we basically just blew off Dwayne.
Um.
And he's probably.
Dwayne blew.
Dwayne.
Dwayne blew you off.
He's going to seek good employment.
That's not how we're going to remember it.
We dumped him.
And.
You know.
We're better off.
Um.
So yeah.
Krupa upgrade.
You can.
So yeah.
Krupa upgrade.
You can either have an item.
Like a.
Ability.
Or you can add an item.
Like a.
A boat.
House.
Carriage house.
A new.
Cohort.
If you'd like a specialized.
Uh.
Contact.
Can we do the hagfish farm?
The hagfish farm?
It says body disposal plus one D to reduce heat after killing.
Oh my god.
Oh my.
Well is.
I.
I can't tell.
A map.
Like you can only go to the one next to you.
And then eventually you get to.
I.
Kind of think that's what it's like.
But I don't know which ones we took.
We didn't take any yet.
Are you looking at turfs?
Yeah.
So that's.
That's.
Actually.
To do with your.
Your tier.
We'll get to that.
Okay.
Uh.
As far as I can tell.
I kind of like.
Narratively.
Like.
You know.
We are.
We may very well have to move the junk fort.
I say we move the junk fort and get a houseboat.
We call it the junk boat.
Yeah.
But outside like a.
Like a sewer.
A sewer pipe.
Cause no one else.
No one will look for us there.
Just a large.
Yeah.
And also our junk fort is connected to the sewer pipes.
And we can just.
Except for that demon.
That we escaped through the sewer pipes.
Yeah.
But you're a demon.
You guys will.
You guys will talk it out.
I.
I tried.
But then I think I.
Hit him with the silver crowbar.
I don't know if he was.
Was he in the.
I know he was definitely in the basement.
We escaped through the sewers.
He was chasing us through the sewers.
I think we need to get new.
New housing soon.
Because I'm pretty sure Baz is a bad guy.
And.
That is true.
I'm pretty sure.
And he does know where we live.
And I think we should.
He did give it to you.
He did.
I think we should.
Try to find a new place.
A new place of residence.
No.
Never.
Or we.
Bring in the junk fort with us.
We push it somewhere out.
That's what I'm saying.
We take the junk fort with us.
And.
We put it on a boat.
That way they'll never find us.
It's always boats with you.
I've got a new plan guys.
I'm putting my crew back together.
What?
And you guys.
Are.
On the front floor of this.
The one guy that you ran into from your old crew turned on you.
That's why I know you guys won't.
You guys.
I still don't think he turned on you.
I did.
I think you were a bit hasty.
Run.
He did run out to go find help.
But he is a very old dilapidated man.
So I mean.
It's really 50 50.
He may have just gotten distracted.
Yeah.
He may have just died.
Either way.
He had it coming.
A lot of deaths in that building.
Here's my.
By the way.
By you guys.
Move slash upgrade the junk fort.
Um.
Maybe.
To some kind of barge.
I'm not sure.
But I think that's how we should.
That's how we should.
A tugboat.
So we're going boathouse.
More like a pontoon house.
Like a houseboat.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
In that it's a house and a boat.
And you're going to really regret.
Cutting that hole in the bottom.
I'll tell you what.
Hold on.
Can.
Have you guys seen those like.
The garbage barges.
The trash barges.
Yeah.
Can we turn it into one of those.
Do you want.
To look.
Inconspicuous.
And our junk fort will look.
Back.
We'll blend in perfectly there.
Exactly.
And then we have.
We have more room for our actual junk.
We can start hoarding shit there.
So we put the junk fort.
On a garbage barge.
Yeah.
And we live there now.
Or.
No.
We don't put it on a garbage barge.
We transform it into a trash barge.
So all the trash.
Is stuff that we've collected.
The barge bars.
And then we.
Turn the hole.
Into a glass bottom trash barge.
I mean.
It's not glass.
It's just a hole.
No.
We turn it into a glass.
Glass bottom trash barge.
How about this?
We get the barge.
We put the house.
We put our junk fort on top of it.
And then we actually put plumbing.
Underneath the hole.
So it's now actually like.
You know.
A toilet.
A giant.
Giant toilet.
A giant outhouse.
I.
I mean.
How much plumbing do you need.
On something that just floats on water?
I mean.
Presumably.
It just drops in.
Right?
We can just have.
What is.
What is it?
In that sentence.
I mean.
We can just hang the house.
Like on top.
Turlet activities.
Yeah.
That's what.
That's.
That's what.
It's just like.
It's just like a pond.
To.
And we just.
Place the garbage.
On this.
Floating.
Platform.
And then this is where we hoard.
All of the.
The accumulated junk.
Lots of.
Enchmen.
Lots of.
Enchmen.
Preferably.
Goddamn.
Butter glider.
All right.
Well.
It sounds like you guys are decided.
You're getting a boat.
And you're moving the fort.
Yeah.
I agree.
We got to get there.
Before it gets blown up.
You could blow it up yourselves.
Honestly.
At this point.
It may be you.
I wouldn't put it past.
I feel like that's a series finale.
Or season finale.
Kind of event.
I feel like.
Blowing up the junk fort.
You know.
It's the last thing they would expect.
Or the first thing.
Or someone else.
You never know.
Yeah.
Well.
That's.
That's like I said.
It was earlier.
It's the perfect crack.
So.
Just to kind of play this into the story.
I.
I see that you guys run back to your.
Run back to the junk fort.
As soon as you.
Dispose of.
You know.
Not.
Skyluck.
Get him back to his house.
And I immediately just.
You can pick up the junk fort.
And just start walking it away.
With your little feet.
Walking.
No.
This is.
Picking it up.
And carrying it.
I am.
No.
This is like.
Like a bunch of.
Inexperienced college kids.
Trying to move.
Where they just do it.
In the most.
Most.
Like.
I.
I feel like we're doing it.
Like.
Toughest way possible.
Like we're moving a fridge.
But we didn't empty any of it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We are just.
Laboring.
It's so.
Fucking difficult.
We keep dropping the floor.
And.
Like.
Things keep rattling inside.
It's like.
Man.
I hope.
The monkey's still over.
Did he's just getting angry.
You're angry.
And.
He gets.
He's trying to like.
Hold shit up on the walls.
Yeah.
Uh.
Yeah.
And then you find your.
Garbage barge.
And just toss it on there.
And say.
Done.
Did we have to buy it?
No.
We stole it.
Wait.
What?
Was.
Was it also.
One of Baz's.
Trash barges?
No.
You're very careful.
We don't know who it belonged to.
They'll never suspect us.
We should paint over the name.
And write.
Junk barge.
We cross off.
Fort.
And write barge.
Barge and in charge.
Yeah.
Large barge.
Okay.
All right.
Next up.
Uh.
Your reputation.
Here.
I'll do mine real quick.
It's not going to be good.
Mine's not that good either.
It's just.
Just a floating barge.
I put a little crescent moon too.
To make you remember that it's also part outhouse.
Uh huh.
Wait.
We can just go over the side of the barge.
No more hole for you.
No more hole.
We're classy trash barge people.
We go over the side.
Uh.
Okay.
So your.
Your reputation.
Um.
That is.
Uh.
People heard what you did.
Uh.
People are impressed.
Oh they probably felt it in their goddamn bones.
They rattled their teeth.
So.
Uh.
You get a total of seven rep points.
Um.
Plus two for your success.
Plus three for taking on the blue coats who are like three tiers ahead of you.
And plus two for taking on Baz's crew.
Um.
So plus seven.
Hold on.
Then I'll get you up.
Hey.
Your rep went up.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Uh.
So you guys can get a.
Get a turf claim now.
So you have a lair.
If you guys go to the.
Oh.
The shadows.
You can see you got a turf.
So you got a lair.
You guys can add one that's directly touching the lair.
So you can add an informant.
You can have a loyal fence.
Uh.
So you get more money when you burgle or rob.
Uh.
Another piece of turf.
Does that say anything?
No.
Uh.
Covert drops.
An extra like regular piece of turf.
It adds.
Any turf that you get.
So you.
Uh.
Adds on to your rep.
So you don't have to get as many rep to upgrade.
Is turf.
Also your tier.
Turf isn't literally the junk for it.
Right.
It's a bigger idea.
It's like our neighborhood.
Yeah.
It's.
Yeah.
So if you add it onto your turf.
Like it would just.
You would have more claim over the area.
You'd have a little bit more prestige.
Um.
Cause like your tier now has gone up.
You guys were zero tier.
Now you're tier one.
Wow.
Do we want to get informants?
Cause I want to work that way to the hack fish farm.
I.
Yeah.
I don't know which.
Which way doesn't really.
I mean I do too.
Um.
I'm not.
There is like a map.
Okay.
Yeah.
There.
There is a map that kind of shows a connection.
But honestly.
It's as long as it's touching.
Whatever you currently have.
You can only.
You just can't go like across the map.
Okay.
I don't know if you can actually see.
Can we go diagonally?
Cause that would save us some time.
Yeah.
Why not?
All right.
Yeah.
Andy.
Then we got to go to infirmary.
If we want to get that hag fish farm.
Or we can go to drug den.
Or.
Infirmary works too.
I sent a picture.
Uh.
Via discord.
For those who can't.
See it.
Um.
I heard it.
Yeah.
That's the crew list.
And that's like the technical.
Paths that you're supposed to go on.
Um.
I don't care.
That's in foundry.
Is it?
Oh.
I see.
The paths.
Yeah.
The lines are not in there.
Yeah.
Oh.
I see.
Yeah.
Oh.
So we do have to go through informants.
Or.
Covert drop.
Oh no.
We can't go through covert.
We have to do informants.
No.
It's informants.
And then drug den.
Or infirmary.
But I do like going infirmary.
To hag fish farm.
Yeah.
I'm fine with cutting diagonal.
If no one else has a.
Has a big beef about it.
I'd rather you guys pick something you'd like.
Big beef.
Okay.
Well then.
I mean.
Well.
Cause I would say.
I would say we go informants.
And then infirmary.
To hag fish.
Alright.
But.
But if you.
If she's going to let us cut corners here.
Then let's cut corners.
Literally.
Yeah.
Then we'll cut the corner to infirmary.
Alright.
How do I.
I really don't know.
I'm trying to click on it.
It doesn't do anything.
For what?
I'm just going to add that on my list.
You guys have infirmary.
Plus 1d to healing rolls.
Yes.
You guys now have access to a dedicated healer.
Plus.
Uh.
With your.
Physicker.
You get plus 2d to.
Healing rolls.
Oh.
You guys are going to enjoy that.
I'm tough as nails.
I haven't been hurt.
Okay.
It's my demon skin.
I think.
Okay.
Alright.
Cool.
Uh.
Pay off.
So a few days.
After everything's blown up.
Uncle Skylock invites.
The three of you over to his house for lunch.
He makes you tuna sandwiches while you're there.
Uh.
And he's kind of hobbling around.
Yeah.
Is it actual tuna?
Or is it cat food tuna?
It comes from a tuna sized can.
Oh.
Okay.
Tuna fish.
So you think it's.
Yeah.
So like a tuna fish can.
Okay.
Which could be cat food.
Okay.
You really don't know.
Uh.
Cause he just kind of makes it off to the side while he, you know, throwing in some ingredients.
And making it.
Well it's definitely not the cactus fruit.
No.
That was a cactus fruit.
There's a cactus that has a fruit that is also called tuna.
Oh.
No.
It's definitely, uh, um, some sort of fishy smelling meat.
Canned meat.
Uh.
Anyway.
He, uh, he makes you a couple tuna sandwiches as a, as a thank you to everything he did.
And, uh, he's kind of limping around.
He's not walking the best.
Uh, but he does.
Cause once you guys are all sitting down, he goes, I, I really want to, want to thank
you for, for everything you did.
It just seems like it was all such a blur.
I, I remember people getting punched and blowing up and a mace and.
Do you remember where they got punched?
I don't think any, it's rather unmentionable if you know what I mean.
I don't.
Well, it wasn't, not me.
I didn't, I didn't punch anybody in there on mentionables.
I think you tried and you, you, you didn't do so well.
That's sorry.
That's me out of, out of characters.
Kylock wouldn't say that to you.
Uh, he's too nice.
Well, I, I did almost pretend to try, but I wasn't going to do it.
Well, anyway, I wanted to say thank you.
I wanted to say thank you to the, to the three of you.
I know you've risked so much.
So, uh, I, I've decided to take a little, little well-meaning vacation, take a little time off for myself.
And, uh, I've decided to give you guys my, my normal wages for this month.
So, he gives you, each of you, uh, two coin.
Hooray!
Oh, I got so much money.
I don't know what to do with it.
Um, I, yeah, I don't know how much money I have either.
I've got to spend it.
Oh, I spent it.
I spent my less.
Two coin.
Oh, I, I've got my coin stashes stacked.
Two coin.
And, uh, as the evening kind of draws into the clothes there, uh, before you leave, chuckles, he, um, he kind of, you know, singles, singles you over and, uh, says, uh, I didn't, I didn't want to say this in, in front of the rest of them, but have you, have you thought about your college fund?
By what?
Your college fund.
I, I know I mentioned it back at the prison.
Uh, if you, you're not planning on going to school.
I mean, I, I didn't know.
So, well, yeah, uh, I was thinking a lot about your, your, your words and, uh, I, I hit the books real hard and, uh, I want to let you know that, um, I've learned a lot of things.
Um, I've learned a new ability, uh, playing with bones and blood and sometimes it allows me to keep people alive.
So, um, it's a new skill.
You inspired me to hit the books again.
And yes, I'll have your money.
Well, it won't work quite like, like that.
If you, if you enroll in a proper university, I'm proud of you, by the way, good on you for learning a skill.
You know, it's always hard to, to learn new things.
You know what they say?
You can't teach an old dog new tricks or a, or a dumb dog for that matter either.
And, uh, and you might need it someday.
You don't look so good.
Well, I definitely had a little bit of a rough go there.
If you enroll in a proper university or if you completely distangle yourself from this lifestyle, if, if I know you're living on the straight and narrow, you, you can have that money.
I do want it for you, but, uh, I have to be certain it's, it's being used to the best of, of what it can be used for.
I don't want to, I'm not going to give you the money if you're still, still doing this, buddy.
Wow.
That's awfully judgmental.
Uncle.
These are my new friends.
Uh, we're almost family.
And yes, we go for prison, but who hasn't?
And a ship and, uh.
And a man.
And.
This is kind of what I'm saying.
I just want you to know, you, you have something to fall back on, but, uh, you would, you would have to give everything up.
Okay.
That's good to know.
I appreciate you being honest with me and, uh, looking out for me and always being there for me with cat food.
I mean, tuna.
There's something in your eye.
Yes.
A wink.
Well, if you need any trouble with that eye, I mean, you, you let me know, but, uh, just saying that the opportunity is out there for you.
I think you could really, really make something of yourself.
And I know these people are your friends, but I have my doubts.
My doubts.
You'll never.
Some things you'll just never understand.
Sclock.
Never understand.
Well, maybe.
Well, have a good night and, uh, try not to blow anything up on the way home.
All right.
Good night.
Uh, quick question though.
Out of character.
Where's my car?
Yeah.
Um, since he ate a cat food sandwich, supposedly, does that relieve his stress?
Uh, no, I'm not going to use that downtime to relieve your stress.
Uh, cause that, that was just a nice dinner.
I was hoping to get like an extra one in there for him.
Can I use it for that though?
Cause that's what I would do anyway.
Do you want to, do you want to use your downtime activity for that?
Yeah.
To reduce your stress?
Yeah.
Uh, he packs you, uh, a, a little picnic basket, a traditional one with, uh, you know,
like a handle and like a little red, uh, table cloth sticking out of it.
And he packs you a load of sandwiches.
Uh, so go ahead and roll to reduce your stress.
Hold on.
I'm like, and looking it up.
I don't remember exactly how much you roll.
I think it's the least of your abilities, but I don't remember either.
So it's going to be just, I mean, I still have some zero.
Cause I refuse to upgrade anything except Tinker.
Yeah.
I think it's like the, the least one of your, the three insight prowess to resolve.
Right.
Yeah.
If you have one in resolve, then you roll one.
Right.
Oh yeah.
If all I, all I had to do is just add one of those and say,
instead of adding necromancy, whatever the fuck I added.
All right.
Okay.
So I'm going to roll sway just cause it's one of the low ones.
Yeah.
Wow.
That really sucked.
Well, you reduce one stress.
The sandwiches weren't that good.
That's a critical failure.
Yep.
You take the lesser of one of the points, which means you get one, reduce one stress.
Those sandwiches were not good.
It was counterfeit cat food.
He probably put real tuna in there.
And you're just like, what is this?
What is this?
This is fucking Albacore.
Get this out of here.
Uh, I don't know what that is.
It's a tuna.
It's not good sandwiches.
Which means squish really loved them.
Oh, he really is the opposite of me in every way.
Yeah.
He's cool.
Well, while you guys are, uh, walking home, uh, you kind of, people aren't necessarily giving you a wide berth, but you're definitely getting some weird looks.
Uh, and, uh, people are a little, a little uncomfortable near you because your wanted level has gone up.
Congratulations.
Uh, so you get plus four heat for a loud and chaotic high exposure event.
I would say blowing up a prison is pretty, pretty high exposure.
Plus one for being in a hostile environment and plus two for killing.
So allegedly.
No, no, we definitely murdered.
I think I murdered someone with you.
I mean, literally using you as a weapon.
No, that person didn't die.
He was just sleeping.
Did you, was there a bell afterwards?
That was, there are a lot of bells going off.
So plus one for what?
So your wanted level, well, this is, this is for, uh, your crew, uh, your wanted level for your crew.
So your wanted level is now two.
Is there a way we can decrease that?
Yeah.
Uh, you could send one of your, uh, friends to prison for you.
Uh, the monkey.
The monkey, the monkey always does, does the shit jobs.
Oh man.
Is there any way to convince Dwayne to go to prison for us?
I don't think you're going to be able to convince him.
Well, a former prison guard.
To go to prison.
It's not a very good prison.
It's got a big hole inside.
So true.
We can't convince him.
He can easily escape.
Um, I don't really know anyone else.
All right.
Sorry.
I'm taking a quick look at it.
Send the captain back to prison.
Yeah.
So, uh, the only way to reduce your crew's wanted level is through incarceration.
Uh, when your crew members, your friends, your contacts, or a frame enemy is convicted and incarcerated for crimes.
Uh, your wanted level is decreased by one.
Birds follow.
I told you we need to get more people in our gang so we can put them in prison.
That's not what you said.
Well, I mean, it's a well intentioned plan.
No wonder why you're not a captain anymore.
You gave all your crew up to be incarcerated.
You gave at least one up.
Do you think we can convince turnsfallow to come back with us?
And then give him up?
Give him back to prison?
You might be able to, you might be able to convince him.
He didn't seem like he wanted to leave the prison in the first place.
You did try throwing him a biscuit.
How about Bixby?
Let's go find him.
And Paul coming back with open arms.
And send him to the prison with open arms.
Was he the big guy?
He's the, he's that turncoat that, uh, betrayed me.
The old, the old man who was, who was part of your crew and who you left on the shores, uh, and pulled away laughing at him.
You want to find him.
You want to find him and convince him to be your friend and then toss him back into prison?
Allegedly.
That doesn't sound so bad to me.
I mean, if anything, nothing's changed for him.
He probably wouldn't even know.
He's so old and senile.
Plus he betrayed me.
Yeah, that's true too.
I don't remember leaving him on no island.
So he's, I mean, he's just holding a grudge.
Do we have to use some downtime activity to do that?
Yeah, that would definitely be a downtime.
Cause you would need to find him, convince him, and then toss him back into prison.
Kick him out.
Is there like a karma meter in this game?
Because if you do that, that is some terrible karma.
There's, there's not, but it would lower your wanted levels.
So your wanted level right now, if you three were to say, get arrested, uh, you would spend several months in prison.
That's kind of the level you're at right now.
Oh, so a couple months.
That's not, that's not bad.
A couple months staying on my head.
You know what guys, let's go to prison.
Pass.
We did just break out.
Actually, you know what?
No, I got, I got an idea.
I got a squish, squish.
Cause look, let them do it.
Only one of us needs to do this.
That's right.
Only one person needs to go and you'll all reduce your level.
Yep.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Go on.
Well, now that you guys are just showing me away.
I don't know.
My feelings.
You're the one that said you could do a couple months on your head.
I thought we were all going to do it together.
Like a team.
I thought we were a team now.
No.
Listen, we came together and bought this awesome house barge.
All right.
We're not going to prison.
That's insane.
Why are you?
Don't conflate it.
All right.
Just as a, just to also remind you, you can also throw in an enemy of yours into prison
too.
That would also reduce your risk, reduce your wanted level.
Let's get Baz.
We don't have any enemies.
Everyone loves us.
Not Baz apparently.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's throw Baz in the prison.
How?
We need to get back at him before he gets at us.
He's coming for us guys.
Baz orchestrated that entire prison riot.
Yeah.
And he tried to be able to just like walk up to him and throw him into jail.
We tell the cops.
I'm still in there.
Good.
I'm still in there.
Good graces.
I never got in trouble.
I was just an employee.
I walk out that front door.
I say we Superman it.
Go over there.
Tie him up.
Bring him to the prison where there's a hole in the wall.
Toss him in there.
Then fix the hole in the wall with your masonry skills.
So he can't get out.
I don't think one just walks into Baz's office after this.
I mean, we obviously have to come up with a plan.
Okay.
So what if I go back to work at the prison and tell them I know where Baz is hanging out?
Like I know Baz's main office.
I think Baz is like, I think people know Baz.
But I can set up an appointment with him.
With Baz?
Yeah.
As a police officer?
Okay.
No, no, no, no.
Not as a police officer.
Just as a criminal.
Yourself.
As Squish Turbo.
As, as, as, as, as Tarquish Sunder.
Go, you know, demand, uh, all three of us can demand a meeting with him.
And be like, you need to explain some things to us.
And then have SWAT team come in and bust through the windows.
Do you think that will happen like that?
Just like that?
Uh, probably not, but.
Well, I just kind of.
Nobody hates us and wants us killed slash arrested.
So it's not going to get any worse.
I did forget that, uh, we didn't read the, the journal this, uh, this session, but.
A couple, couple of things, uh, to note in there.
Um, uh, so Baz did make every, attempted to make everyone believe that the red sashes, uh, committed this crime.
So, it's not so easy to link Baz and the particular blowing up of the, of the prison.
Also, if you notice the picture, I think they got Captain in there too.
Uh, running away.
I mean, that's probably only because I was trying to trip my, uh, my old bosun.
Bugsby.
I think they're going to go to the red sashes.
Hmm?
That's an option.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
He's right.
Let's go, let's go ask them what they think we should do.
But.
First.
I say we go out and relax.
Because I am stressed.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
I mean, I already had sandwiches.
Okay.
Well, you're ready to go then, I guess.
Yeah.
Not good sandwiches.
All right.
Do you want to, so you don't have to do anything right now with your wanted level if you don't want to.
It's, it's just what it is.
Uh, if you want to bring Baz in or work with the sashes, you're more than, that's totally fine.
You can go down that.
Uh, but you don't have to do anything at this moment.
It's not like they're going to come in and arrest you.
Okay.
Uh, do we want to take a quick break and then go into the rested downtime?
Are you saying I need to drink more so I'm more fun?
Yes.
Okay.
I mean, I need to have a drink.
I haven't had one at all.
I need to be more fun.
Yes.
I wasn't going to say anything.
But.
Oh.
I agree.
But you were thinking it loudly.
All right, everyone imbibe alcohol, come back in better moods.
Come back to relax.
Yeah.
I'm going to have a drink.
What happened to your fancy earbud?
There's just a little bit.
This is hooked up almost all the time.
I use it for work.
It's just a little bit more of a pain in the ass to hook that up.
Okay.
And they're less comfortable.
I was only wearing it because of my hat.
And I haven't been wearing my hat.
Right.
Okay.
That makes sense.
I forgot the top hat thing.
Oh, did you now?
Yeah.
I did see it when I was sleeping over there the other night though.
Did it bring you joy?
I chuckled for a second.
Pun intended.
No.
Well, you can just kiss my grits.
I'd rather kiss your polenta.
Mel's got me on polenta.
It's the same thing as grits.
What?
Is that sarcasm?
I mean, I thought they were similar.
I didn't know they were exactly the same.
No, it's just how you prepare them.
Well, and that, by that definition of baked potato and french fries are the same.
No, it's, well, one is cornmeal.
Well, they're both cornmeal.
That's all it is.
All right.
Well, you've cleared nothing up for me.
You're welcome.
All right.
Uh, downtime.
Anybody got anything they'd like to like to do?
Like to take care of?
Squish.
I definitely gotta relieve some stress.
All right.
So I gotta go to the golden plum.
Work a shift.
And work a shift to relieve stress.
At the, uh, the very relaxing assistant thing.
Right.
All right.
Uh, so yeah, Squish heads off for his, uh, his shift at the golden plums.
Anyone coming with him?
I don't know.
Captain.
All right.
He just wants whiskey sours.
I don't feel so good after all those sandwiches.
So I'm gonna sit tight.
All right.
Uh, Squish.
Tell us about your shift at the, uh, the golden plum.
So I go in and I marinate the, the slugs.
And the back, the boom.
Yes.
I am building on this dish.
Okay.
With the boom, boom sauce.
Sounds kind of.
I marinate them.
Are you here?
That's right.
I'm not here.
Sorry.
You're not there.
So I marinate the slugs in the boom, boom sauce.
And then I make a foam out of tobacco and cayenne pepper.
To put on top of it.
Okay.
Very explosive dish.
Uh, chef Roselle kind of sees, uh, while she's busy working, uh, she sees, uh, like little, like just plumes of smoke occasionally just coming off as you're working.
Just a little, like little.
Little.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, yeah, let's, uh, I'm going to have, go ahead and serve it up.
See if it, uh, see if it works.
Go ahead and roll and see how much this, uh, reduces your stress.
All right.
I don't know.
What was that?
I think it's just one D6.
Uh, it's whatever your least.
Oh, right.
Uh, one is.
So it is one.
Can I get an extra one for using the boom, boom sauce?
Yeah.
You crafted that recipe.
I mean, you found it and you and squish kind of made it or checkles made it.
So yeah, that's a, it's a secret recipe that, you know, works.
All right.
Okay.
So, yeah, that's a, it's a secret recipe that, you know, works.
All right.
Seven.
for using the boom boom sauce.
Yeah, you crafted that recipe.
I mean, you found it, and you and Squish
kind of made it, or Chuckles made it.
So yeah, it's a secret recipe
that you know works.
Alright.
Seven.
Nice.
Zero stress.
If it's a success, then you
add them?
Uh, it's what, so
I think it's what you take whatever the highest.
So I think it'd just be five.
Oh, it's just five?
Oh, okay.
I thought it was added together.
I think it's added together.
Here, let me look.
Yeah, double check on that.
Sorry to be a pain.
No, no, I don't mind.
Let's see.
I used to have a bunch of sticky notes in there.
Because if I had gotten an eight or higher,
then I would have overindulged.
And there's no way to do that
well,
unless if I had like three
and rolled a four.
Clear stress equal to the highest die result.
Okay.
So I read five.
Five stress.
Perfect.
What is chef resulting in that?
She, she takes one of the little slugs.
I imagine it's just like sushi.
And she just kind of pops it in her mouth.
And for a moment, she doesn't really say anything.
She just kind of covers her mouth.
And then she like, you hear this like burp come up and there's like a little plume of smoke that comes out.
And she's like, this is, this is delicious.
This is, this is wonderful.
I have to put it on the recipe, on the menu immediately.
We'll call it the, do you have a name for it?
Do you have a name for the dish?
No, no.
I'm trying to think of something now though.
The squishy boom, boom.
Squishy boom, boom.
She goes, excellent.
We'll, we'll put it on the menu and we'll see how it goes.
I, I, this is, this is absolutely wonderful.
Um, definitely.
She calls over the, uh, the maitre d'es.
She goes, put this on the menu, but definitely add a warning in there for anyone who's, you know, pregnant or has a weak heart or, you know, a bad back.
They shouldn't.
I know waiver because I'm not.
What was that?
That was Craig.
Oh, did Craig drop?
He's back now.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Is he still recording?
Yeah.
I think so.
Okay.
Uh, he, uh, yeah.
Make sure you put anything on there.
You know, they have to sign a waiver before they, before they do this, but it's perfect.
Wonderful recipe.
Uh, and she starts ordering the rest of the, uh, the chefs to start making it and sending it out as well.
Um, while you're, uh, in the back, a, uh, a waitress comes up to you, captain, and she kind of pours
you a glass of water and she asks, anything else?
Uh, whiskey sour, please.
All right.
Uh, and she goes back to the bar and it's kind of a quiet day.
Uh, you know, not much going on.
And she, she pours you a drink and comes back and she, she goes, you looking okay.
You look a little rough.
I'm just tired.
Uh, and, uh, she, she manages, she walks away at that point.
Um, are you going to use this to reduce your stress, captain, this drinking?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Uh, we'll go ahead and go ahead and roll.
What do I roll?
So it's your least, uh, of your, uh, your attributes.
So if you've got one that's got like a one or zero, you would roll that.
I, what, what am I doing?
So, so you know how you have, uh, these two dots along the side here?
Where?
Where you have insight and there's two.
Progress and there's two.
Resolve, there's two.
You see this on your character?
Yeah.
Yeah, so you roll one of those.
In your case, it doesn't matter because it's all two.
So let's roll two.
Yeah.
And then you take the highest of that one and it reduces your stress.
Okay.
The result is bad.
It's a failure.
So you reduce your stress by three.
So, but it doesn't matter if it's a failure.
Yeah, no, that doesn't matter.
Cause it's, it's all about like, it's just the number on the die.
Really.
Okay.
I guess I, and then I'm thinking, it was like, oh, that's not how we did mine, but it doesn't
matter.
I wrote two, one.
So.
Yeah.
And cause you have zero, uh, what is it?
You have zero resolve.
So you just picked the lowest of the one.
You'd roll two and pick the lowest.
Oh, there's that too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um, is there, is there a way I can steal this, like a couple pouches of tobacco for DD to lower
her stress?
Um.
Wow.
How courteous.
Sure.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
If you want to go ahead and, uh, and pocket some of those, you can.
Yeah.
Um, but you're definitely going to have to do it when like chef Roselle's back is turned.
Cause she sees you pocketing ingredients.
She's going to get a little mad.
So that's going to be like a, a finesse role for you.
Just to see if you succeed in that.
I used it in my ingredient.
I know, I know you're cooking with it, but I didn't think she like had it on the shelf.
I thought you brought your own tobacco.
It's like.
No.
The kitchen just keeps tobacco.
I thought that was like a thing that you added to it.
No, they keep.
Well, since I started working with it.
Okay.
I think now they keep it on the shelf.
Yeah.
Even though the last time I, okay.
So the last time I used it, it was, or did a dish there.
It was a huge failure.
Yeah.
She brought in these cigars special for me to make that dish.
Right.
Oh, so do you think it's leftover or she just keeps adding?
So, so now she's got a surplus and I'm just going to.
Okay.
Steal from the job, I guess.
Yeah.
You're going to take advantage of her kindness.
I failed.
Yep.
This is going to be bad, Andy.
I mean, squish.
I'm not here.
Yeah.
You're not here.
How badly did you fail?
One.
She, she catches you right in the middle of the act and she gives you a, a
hard stare, uh, right.
As your hands are like in the, in the, you know, cigars, slipping them into your
packet.
And she goes, what are you doing?
Um, I'm taking these so I can practice the dish more so at home to perfect it
even more.
I don't believe you.
Are you going to try and convince?
Yeah.
I'm going to try to swear.
Swear.
Let's see if that works.
Cause she did just caught you stealing.
Oh, that's critical.
Wow.
That's two on ones.
That's real, real bad.
Cause I cannot believe this of you.
You come into my restaurant and you steal my ingredients.
What?
Because it could, because you use them once because you use them once they
belong to you.
Does that pot belong to you?
Does that knife belong to you?
Get out of my kitchen.
And she, she kind of shoes you back into the dining room.
Uh, and, and, and kind of slams the door.
I never told her the secret to the boom, boom sauce though.
All right.
Here it is.
As soon as, as soon as squish gets backed up, he's going to do something
spiteful.
Just wait for it.
You say, Oh yeah.
Kick me out of your restaurant.
I'm going to, I'm going to set this place on fire.
I am vengeful.
I just got that.
Yeah.
But vengeful.
Right.
But it's not like chief Roselle, like slighted you.
No, but I'm still vengeful to someone that harmed me.
If you do blow up the building or somehow, you know, wait, we can blow up the
golden plum.
I never even thought about that.
You, you would get extra XP.
If we blew it up.
I mean, if you did something for revenge, then yes, you would, you would
indeed blow it up.
Or you would indeed get XP.
If only you needed a demolition expert.
I still put the cigars in my pocket and walk out.
While you're in the dining room, squish.
The door opens and a blonde woman, a young blonde woman walks through and you
recognize her squish.
Oh, this is not good.
It's the one that blew up the house.
It is indeed Lady Amoria.
Wait, we didn't blow up the house.
Oh, we did not blow up the house.
Well, we got the rap for it.
You're not here.
Oh, wait, hold on.
She's dressed.
Now you, now you come in.
Yeah.
No, no, not in character.
This.
I remember this now.
It was not our doing to blow up the house.
You didn't know that?
No, I did.
I forgot.
I've been just.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it got pinned on us, right?
Or.
It got pinned on you.
I mean, I was on.
Okay.
I was in the paper having blown up the house.
Do other people think we blew up the house or is it just me?
Not, not other characters, other people in Dustfall.
Oh, I've been telling everybody.
The rumor is, is that the group of you, the three of you together blew up the house.
It's not like one individually.
It's your group did it.
Okay.
But.
But it is pinned on you.
Yes.
Okay.
And not the girl or woman who actually blew it up.
No, she got away.
Oh no.
And now she's in this restaurant.
Until right now.
Yeah.
And you're going to punch her in the nuts.
The explosion.
The explosion was able to give her a little bit of, you know, cover.
Yeah.
So she, she walks into the restaurant and she kind of makes eye contact with you, squish.
And she's not scared or anything, but she does definitely, it does one of those like, you know,
like she maybe didn't want to run into you.
And she takes a seat, not next to you, captain, but close enough that you can kind of, you know, talk to her if you want.
Are you guys going to come up and talk to her?
What are you going to do?
I'm not going to talk to her?
I'm going to talk to her.
I'm going to sit down right at that table.
She brings up a menu.
She brings up a menu and immediately is just like, doesn't want to make eye contact with you.
Captain, do you still have Paul in your jacket?
Yeah.
He's in my coat at all times.
Okay.
Just wanted to make sure.
Just wanted to make sure you weren't a hunchback.
He's stitched in there.
Yeah.
Right there.
Eventually, Lady Amoria, squish after you stare her down for a little bit, Lady Amoria lowers her menu and she's like, what?
May I suggest the boom, boom, squish?
Squishy boom, boom.
I'm sorry.
It is a dish I have perfected that blows up pretty easily.
She kind of like looks around.
She's trying to play it a little nonpluss.
I don't know what you mean, but I'll definitely give that a try.
It's a chef's recommendation.
Do I know you?
Oh, you know me.
All right.
That's what I was worried about.
Yeah.
Then I look over at Captain.
I go, hey, Captain.
Or I go, and then I just go like, move your jacket to show Paul.
Sorry.
With that look too.
That exact look.
Nope.
It keeps getting better.
Keep going.
She like slams her head down.
It's like, you took it.
You took it.
You swapped it out for a fake.
You can't prove that.
Yeah.
Clearly I can.
I can prove that you have the real one and I was looking for it.
And now you, I have a fake one, which by the way, what did you even make that out of?
Child's play?
You blew it up.
That was your choice.
If it was real or not, you would have set out that house.
You would have blown it up.
And you wouldn't, like you, you, like I heard what you guys did to why it's the, don't sit
here and tell me that you actually like those people.
It doesn't matter.
The fact is that you still tried to blow it up.
Fair enough.
But, uh, I also have heard, uh, just saying that you, uh, ingredient, a dish that blows
up.
Okay.
So that compares to blowing up a really fancy person's house.
I heard you blew up a boat.
Okay.
Allegedly.
And I just, and, and the prison just in, in your neighborhood just happened to blow up
too?
Allegedly.
And you blew up a man?
Allegedly.
But, but out of character, I don't remember blowing up a man.
No, I think that's just what you refer it to when you, uh, when you nut punched Watts so
badly, he like, you know.
Oh, no, that's not what I'm referring to.
When I say that.
No, no.
Oh, I, I'm referring to that man that came after the boat.
Some, some ghost or person came to our.
Oh yeah.
That guy.
I mean, I guess it could equally apply to either of them, but that's what I was thinking.
That guy, we totally obliterated.
I don't think we didn't blow him up because he was a ghost.
I don't remember what we knew him.
I don't remember that.
It was after the boat.
Yeah.
You had one of the, uh, the people who, uh, take care of the, uh, the dead come after
you and release a ghost in the junk fort.
Cause he's like, dude, you just, you killed the guy and left him at the bottom of the ocean.
You can't leave ghosts in the city.
It's kind of bad.
Okay.
That was a while ago.
Anyway, uh, Lady Amoria is like, well, at least tell me that the statue is okay.
You can see it.
He's stitched into the captain's shoulder.
Paul in the corner on your shoulder just goes, hello.
Lady Amoria kind of like looks at the two of you.
Like it talks.
Damn it.
Paul.
Rumors are true.
The legends are true.
Damn it, Paul.
You're supposed to be the cool one.
But Paul never speaks the truth.
He's always lying.
Oh, one stress.
One stress.
You gotta get one of those back.
Oh, hold on one second.
Sorry.
My computer was about to die.
Uh, well, look, I, the truth setters would pay a lot of money to get this artifact back.
What was her, what was her bid?
Do you remember?
I don't remember what her, her actual bid was.
I think it was just generally high.
Uh, she was outbid.
That's fine.
So like if, if like she said it was like 50,000 coin or whatever.
Uh, yeah.
So like, yeah, I, yeah, it was like 15,000 is, is what she had offered.
Okay.
Then we'll sell it to you for 15,000 coin.
Okay.
The reason I had a ghost or a demon prepared to blow up the place is because I actually don't
have that kind of money.
You think?
Oh, so you admit to blowing up the place.
It blew up.
You just said that the demon you employed blew it up.
Lawyer.
What do you want for the lion?
That's not this universe.
15,000 coins.
Okay.
You understand that like six coin is a man's wages.
You think that like I can afford 15,000 of those?
I don't know your.
Like 30 coin would be.
I got a problem.
Lion's not for sale.
It is for 15,000.
I don't think that's going to win.
Also, if we're going to do that, we should probably just go get another fake lion.
No, we'll sell the real lion for 15,000 coin.
No, this lion is like awesome.
30 coin is a man's wages.
Also, I'm not quite sure how to unsew it from my frock and I'm not giving up this frock.
Exactly.
See?
I don't have a seam ripper.
We can buy you a frock of gold.
Can you buy me another talking lion?
Yes.
I'm going to sell your monkey then.
If you can sell TD for 15,000 coin, you can do it.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't have 15,000 coin.
Yes.
I'm not.
Look.
You're not here, Juggles.
I put in a lot of work.
I ran security on that house.
I snuck in a demon into the basement.
I paid for guards to be there.
That lion is rightfully mine.
No, it's not.
I did all of the work.
Well, agree to disagree.
Well, what are you going to do about it?
Right?
You got the lion.
You guys win.
Congratulations.
Then we'll walk away.
I came in here to have lunch.
And now you know we got the lion.
And you're upset about it.
But you want the lion.
So what are you going to do for it?
Do you even...
You're provoking this person?
What are you going to do for it?
It's like...
He's like...
I'm just trying to have my lunch.
It's like...
Well, there's something about it.
It's called negotiation.
That's not negotiation.
That's bullying.
She wants her sandwich.
Let her eat.
Potato, tomato.
Look, I'll be honest.
I'm not in the best of, you know...
Health.
I'm not looked upon well in my group.
I kind of made an error.
And I lost to arguably a demon and two men standing on top of each other pretending to be one person.
Half a demon.
But, oh, yeah.
I can see that.
Yeah.
I think that was us.
It wasn't?
You're not here.
Paul pipes up.
See what you missed out on?
Look, I'm not...
I'm not in the best standing right now.
And I just came in here just to have some lunch and try to figure things out.
I mean, it's not like you guys are looking for work or anything, right?
No, we're not looking for work, but we might be looking for workers.
Excuse me?
Do you want to join our crew?
You can't join...
You don't have that power!
I'll talk it over...
Junkles, you are not here.
I have a radio.
You gave me a radio for some reason.
Oh, yeah.
Off.
I turned it off.
You can't silence me.
Screaming out of your back pocket the whole time.
You don't have that authority!
There's two talking lions?
No, that's just one idiot with an onion.
And a lion.
What would I even do?
I mean, what do you even...
What do you know about me?
You know nothing.
You're an expulsions expert.
I am...
I'm an expulsions expert!
We have one of those already.
That was given to me for the job.
I really didn't, like, capture it or blow it up myself.
You were able to sneak into the building to plant the bombs, right?
You were able to hire the guards.
Okay, so I have money.
Is that what you're saying?
You want to hire me so I can connect you with my money?
No.
You have connections.
Do you have connections to the red sashes?
Well, I was trying to steal their precious artifact that they were auctioning off.
So, not necessarily.
But why do you want to...
Obstacle stand.
She don't have nothing.
She's got something.
It's there.
You just gotta keep badgering her and she'll eventually give us something we want.
Look, I am willing to leave this table and let bygones be bygones.
You're right.
Video feed.
Not the better of me.
You win.
Right?
But let me say this.
If you guys need something or if I think of something, I'll let you guys know.
But I don't think at this point there's anything you can help me with unless you're, like I said, I'm not looking to work.
I'm rich.
I don't work.
But I am looking for people to work for me.
But not 15,000 coins rich.
Again, that is an obscene amount of money in this world.
I don't have that.
Again, the lion's not for sale, Squish.
You're at another table.
Shut up.
Yeah, I'm not going to give it up.
Okay.
All right.
And then I slide her a card with the trash barge's, the junk barge's number on it.
I imagine it's just like a little like handwritten piece of paper that says junk fort in the sewers.
It's written on the back of a napkin from McDonald's.
Yeah.
It's got a mustard stain on it.
But you slide it to her.
She takes it.
I like.
You slide it to her.
And she kind of looks at it and then fishes into her pocket, puts on like a cotton glove, takes the piece of paper, folds it, put it back into her pocket, and then takes off the glove again.
Because she does not want to touch it.
She goes, yes, if I ever need anything, I'll let you guys know.
And if I hear anything about the red sashes, I mean, except for the fact that they've, you know, been pinned on this whole prison breakout.
You guys heard about that, right?
Of course you did.
I mean, who blew it up, right?
I have no idea what you're talking.
Prison?
Breakout?
Blow up?
Weird.
No.
Not ringing about that.
Paul from the inside of your jacket says, we were just at a prison.
Shut up, Paul.
You're not here right now.
You're at another table.
Anyway, the red sashes are done for.
They're getting out of this city.
I mean, everyone knows Baz runs things now in the crow's foot, so.
Interesting.
So, I'm going to leave.
No, you enjoy your lunch.
Get the squishy boom boom.
I highly recommend it.
And then I get up and I go to the server that was talking to the captain and go, his bill is on her.
And we walk out.
We are such bastards.
All right.
So, everyone's had one round of stress relief.
You got a new contact with Lady Amoria.
He kind of bullied her into that.
Although, I guess you just gave her your number.
She didn't give you hers.
Where to, Matt?
I'm fully trying to take my number.
Chuckles, what have you been up to?
Sleeping.
Oh, wait.
No, I was talking to him on the radio.
I heard the whole thing go down.
But, yeah.
Mostly, I've been just reading random books in the junk fort.
Yeah.
I mean, I didn't really want to admit it to Uncle Skluck, but his whole lecture about studying, it really fucked with my mind.
So, now I'm, like, trying to, like, apply myself.
You're going to go talk to the whore.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It really fucked with my mind.
So, like, I am looking at studying things, but not in, like, a real way, just kind of in a half-assed way.
And, like, I feel guilty and I'm just doing it, you know, just so I could say that I'm doing it.
Also, I was kind of listening on the radio to what was going on.
And, um, that's mostly it.
Just kind of killing time in the laboratory.
Okay.
Any long-term projects you want to start or anybody have any long-term projects or healing they'd like to do?
Anything like that?
Oh, I probably could do healing.
I have cracked ribs slash cracked ego.
And I have electrical arm.
Can I do some self-medicine?
Yeah.
All right.
Because I think maybe that new skill plus, you know, trying to just get better at stuff, like studying.
Yeah.
So you have a...
Yeah, if you want to try it in healing yourself, you have that plus one for your particular ability, that Physicker.
And then you get another plus one for Infamy.
Oh, yeah.
For your Chirp.
Oh, yeah.
And is it Tinker?
I think it's whatever your highest is.
Hold on.
I'm going to double-checking this because I want to make sure I got this right.
Recover.
Oh, wait.
No, not that one.
Do you do too?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's Tinker.
For you, it's Tinker.
Since you're doing it yourself, you're tinkering on yourself.
Normally, it's just the woman.
Whoever your healer is will roll.
But, yeah, for you, it's just Tinker.
All right.
And plus two Infirmary and my Physicker.
Yes.
Oh, this is going to be awesome.
All right.
I'm just trying to see and make sure.
Oh, that it's...
It's pretty...
Yeah, you mark the number of segments on your healing clock.
So, since you got six, you can clear out three.
Did you get multiple sixes?
Yeah, two sixes.
Yeah.
So, I would say...
Let me take a look at what you have.
So, you definitely would heal the healing that you...
Like, it would heal up your healing clock at least six segments.
So, you heal once.
Oh.
And you could reduce one of your levels of harm.
Can I do...
All right.
So, I'm just going to move this Cracked Ribs to one, right?
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
One.
And then you can fill up your segment another five times because you've got two sets of three.
Okay.
And then I'm going to...
Or two sets of six.
I'm going to get rid of this Cracked Ribs, Cracked Ego.
Mm-hmm.
And...
Also, I did so good.
I have extra ribs.
Wait.
Is extra ribs good?
Yes.
Extra pear.
Sorry, I'm not lopsided.
But it also kind of looks like part of a six-pack.
You know?
I have, like, an extra rib.
You know, like, sometimes when you...
You know, it looks like muscles, but it's really just bones?
That's what I got.
No.
So, I like the idea, though, that your electrical harm means, like, you have, like, somewhat staticky
hair.
Yeah, exactly.
But you also have a stick back.
Yeah.
And every once in a while, I'll touch metal and I'll get zapped.
And it hurts.
Yeah.
So, you should...
If I got this right, you just have level one electrical harm and then you should have
one segment of healing.
Uh, that makes sense.
All right.
But the...
Yeah.
Because you had one...
It was six.
Yep.
Okay.
Perfect.
All right.
Wow.
That was...
You're on healing.
That was really effective.
Captain Squish, anything you two like to do?
You can train, indulge your vice, reduce your heat, recover.
I fixed my ribs.
I can help you fix your ribs.
Squish, what do you want?
I want to start a long-term project.
All right.
What are you starting?
I want to make, like...
Huh?
There we go.
It's going to be something crazy.
No.
I just want to make, like, a really high-powered rifle.
Okay.
Long-term goal.
Squish.
Something...
Because I got that...
What was it?
Can I help?
Sharpshooter.
He should be able to.
His tinker is abnormally high.
Since I'm a tinkerer, I feel like it would make sense for me to help.
And also, I would like to bond over it, but not...
We didn't plan on it, but maybe we could...
We bond on it by accident.
So I'm going to make you a progress clock.
I'm going to say it's got six segments, because I'm imagining this is, like, better than your average rifle, but, like, not top-of-the-line brand new.
Like, super fancy?
Yeah.
Is there a higher than six?
Is there an eight?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Where'd my progress clock go?
Where did it go?
I want to, but I do not say it yet.
One.
Squish rifle.
Okay.
So where is it?
So do I have to wait until, like, next downtime to make progress on it, or can I roll now?
No.
You can go ahead and make progress on it.
Okay.
So you, yeah, you would need to kind of...
I would say your first kind of step would need to be to, like, figure out even how to do this, unless it's something you already have.
Well, I think it's, like, I have a rifle from previous jobs that I kind of, I broke it down to see, like, how the mechanics work.
And then I asked Juggles to come in and be like, hey, do you understand how this works?
Can we make, can we improve on this design a little bit more?
And I'm a little standoffish at first, because we had a rocky end of that escapade.
But you did actually pique my interest and curiosity, and we start just tearing it absolutely apart.
Which means you're not going to have a rifle for the next, the next couple of missions, because we just completely took it apart.
Yeah, but I can find other things to moiter with.
Yeah, like, to throw at people.
Yeah, we got that fancy, uh, mace.
Oh, we kept that? Did we take it out?
I think someone had, I think I kept it.
I think I picked it back up and kept it.
Flashback, I kept, you kept it.
And a flashback.
After I threw it at someone, I think I picked it back up.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, because it was a dead body, it was off a dead body.
And I didn't want to touch it, but you touched it.
I grabbed it.
Yeah.
Okay, so you're going to study the, uh, study the rifle to kind of figure out, like, basically disassemble it, see how it works.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
Okay.
Chuckles, what's your study?
Study?
My study actually probably isn't very high.
I have one.
It can't, it can't be worse than mine.
I got zero.
Well, it could be equal.
That's probably what I should have, uh...
Can't be worse than mine.
Right.
Okay, so yes, I have one.
Okay.
So we'll roll one, one D?
One D, and then, uh, you can also get plus one since you're doing this as a group.
And I imagine that you, even though you don't know how a rifle goes together, you have a pretty good understanding of, like, how to use one.
So, I definitely think you can offer some important insight considering you've used it before.
So, yeah, Chuckles, go ahead and roll.
We'll have Chuckles roll his one D for study.
Just roll his study.
And then with plus one.
All right.
It'll be two total.
Plus one.
Okay.
Five.
Uh, so that's, like, uh, two segments.
Your clock.
I'm on you, bitch.
There we go.
Can you see this clock on the side?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, can't see the name, but I'll, I'll change.
Wait.
I thought I might be able to change it.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Squish rifle.
Squishy rifle.
I do like the idea that you brought me this, this rifle to ask me for help.
And just, I just immediately took it apart.
I mean, it sounds like you in real life.
Yeah.
I think captain's got one more downtime activity.
Captain.
Uh, I guess go to the bookstore.
Okay.
Well, that's to relieve your stress, right?
Yeah.
How much stress do you have?
I think one.
Wait, you're saying he's going to masturbate at the bookstore?
No.
It's just, if he rolls anything higher than a one, he's going to overindulge again.
And I don't want him to do that.
Well, too bad.
I'm going to the bookstore.
All right.
They still let you in there after you stole all their fucking drapes?
Carpet.
I'm sorry.
We're using them as drapes, but it was originally carpet.
Which begs the question, why didn't you steal the drapes?
I didn't steal carpet from there.
Yes, you did.
Where was it?
It was from the guy where you guys got to.
Oh, that was the electronics store.
There's an electronics store?
That's why you guys aren't allowed there.
That's why you don't know about it.
Because you guys got banned there the first time we went there because I stole the carpet.
Yeah, that's where you bought the diagram for the walkie-talkie.
Yeah.
And then you stole the carpet on the way out.
Unsanctioned.
Activate.
It's what brought our first heat.
Oh, yeah.
Booker's here.
Or what's his name?
Brogdon.
He didn't die in the house explosion?
No.
Surprisingly, enough people ran that there wasn't any deaths.
Even Wad upstairs somehow survived.
Captain, you walk...
What was his name?
Hatsit.
Hatsit, yeah.
So the captain, you go into the Centralia Club and you're greeted by Brogdon, who's polite
to you enough, but, you know, not super happy.
And he goes, ah, Captain, last time I saw you was at, uh, was, was at Watts' place, wasn't
it?
Uh, no.
Maybe.
Uh, I was...
What?
No.
You weren't, you weren't on the floor drinking in the library for that?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Knocked over a bunch of books.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
I was there.
Uh, don't, yeah, don't worry.
I'm not going to knock over any of your bookshelves today.
We thank you for that, sir.
Now, is there, um, an article I can help you find, or a book I can help you find, or anything?
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm rebuilding my crew.
I'm rebuilding my crew and I need to start updating my ship.
Do you have any books on how to, uh, you know, update a ships?
Well, maybe describe what your current ship is, sir.
It's a barge.
Okay.
Um, and is that out in the, the harbor, or is it within the city canals, or?
It's in the sewer.
Well, I see.
Um, it, how is the ship propelled, sir?
Uh, by the current.
Okay.
I see.
So, so navigation, that might be something you're, you're interested in?
Yeah, yeah.
We have a tanker on the, on the boat.
He likes to build things.
I'm sure he, uh, would appreciate any and all, uh, information.
Okay.
Uh, well, I, I do believe we have some ship buildings for dummies here, uh, on this particular shelf.
Uh, navigation for fools.
Um, you know, some basic, some basic, uh, cartography maps.
I mean, is there something particular?
Is there anywhere you're interested, you're, you're interested in going?
Yes, yes, I've read most of these, I'm sure, uh, you know.
Ooh, here's a ritual book.
So that's how you summon a fireball demon.
There we go.
Yes, sir.
Pardon me for leaving that around.
I, I should have, uh, picked that up earlier.
I hate having things.
You just left the page right open to it.
I mean, anyone could just learn this ritual.
I mean, it's really self-explanatory, too.
It's just really by the book, if you will.
Well, uh, I can, I can tell it definitely piqued your interest, but, um, are you starting to think of a long-term project, of a place you'd like to go, or, uh, an actual upgrade to your ship that I can facilitate you with?
Yeah, I'm trying to upgrade my ship so it can move on its, uh, own accord, uh, so we can get it out of the, uh, out of the, uh, out of the, out of the sewers.
You got any advice, Bookman?
Uh, let me see what I can do.
So, are you trying?
I'm just assuming that this guy is, just knows things about boats.
Also, that his name is Bookman, because he works at a library.
Yeah.
All right.
So, to add navigation to your ship, we're going to say this is a little bit of a long-term project, right?
Because you're going to have to learn how to do it, and then actually do it.
Yeah.
I'm going to say it's a level four, since the books there were for dummies.
Just like how it would be a vampire.
For dummies.
For dum-dums.
Dum-dums.
Yeah, I wish I really should read that, but first I'm going to have to learn to read.
Right.
Could be a problem.
Why did you steal a book if you don't even know how to read?
I didn't steal it as much as it fell into my pocket.
And then you kept it.
And then I kept it.
And also, I keep looking at it.
Sometimes upside down.
Mostly upside down.
Or sideways.
All right.
So, Captain, are you going to read the book here?
Or do you want to take it and get some help with it?
Or are you just going to...
Oh, I want to take it back to my...
Can I take it back to my technician?
Your junk fort?
Sure.
Well, my technician.
Okay.
But he's at the junk fort, right?
Yeah, you're my technician.
Yeah, I'm sleeping.
I know.
All right, Captain.
Come on in.
Show us your new book.
What?
Okay, you have the book.
You take it back to your technician.
So I start showing at the Juggles.
Juggles, look at this.
Are you awake?
Juggles, are you awake?
Juggles.
I am now?
Jesus Christ.
Juggles.
I had a few whiskey sours.
Can't a man nap all day?
I had a few whiskey sours on the walk over here.
And it didn't do it at the library, so it's not overindulging.
That is character growth, as they say.
Plus one growth.
Juggles, look at this book.
It talks about we can move the boat.
Does it have pictures?
Yeah.
All right.
Now we're talking.
Now show me the pictures.
There's one right there.
That just looks like a doodle.
I'm not quite sure.
I think it's mostly a diagram on how to poop off a garbage barge.
The thing is, the book didn't initially have diagrams.
I knew you couldn't read, so on the walk over here, I've been trying to help.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on.
Let me stop you right there.
I could read if I wanted to.
I just don't want to.
Okay, continue.
I understand.
And I figured you wouldn't want to read.
So I draw you pictures.
All right.
Thank you.
All right.
There you go.
All right.
Maybe later I'll draw you a bath.
You kind of smell.
That's hurtful.
I'm just kidding.
You smell like the freshest flowers.
Right.
If onions were flowers.
All right.
So what are we going to do with this?
We're going to put a steering vessel on this?
Just fucking barge?
Yeah, sure.
It looks like it.
We're going to put a sail up here?
We're not going to be able to put a sail up in the sewers.
Wait, you want to leave the sewers?
Is that what you're trying to tell me?
Look, it's safe in here.
It's not safe in here.
We need to get the fuck out of it.
We need to get the fuck out of barge.
All right.
I mean, you are the captain.
Yeah.
We need to get this thing going.
This is our long-term project is we need to get moving.
Oh, emphasis on long.
So the diagram shows you how to attach a wheel to a rudder, essentially building like a steering
mechanism for the ship.
You mean like one of those big pirate wheels?
Oh, yeah.
Like the riverboat wheels.
Yeah.
You're going to be riverboat pirates.
Like Steamboat Willie's steering wheel?
Yeah.
River trash boat pirates?
I just imagine we put the steering wheel right in front of the hole.
So he never has to stop steering?
So we can go pooping while we're driving the boat.
New term to swab the poop deck.
Classic.
Bridget.
Take away two strings.
Take your rest.
Two strings to the GM.
He loves pooping.
And punting.
I do.
And punting.
All right.
So, yeah.
So kind of like with the rifle, you're going to need to kind of study the book.
Or just begin straight up on tinkering it.
You guys can decide what you'd like to do.
Probably study.
Go ahead.
Study.
So we built the steering wheel first.
We haven't figured out how to connect it to anything.
Yeah.
Do you want to build it first?
Or do you want to study it?
I just stole a carriage wheel.
You got to start somewhere.
So why not start with the fun part?
You got to have some adjusting to do with this.
Yeah.
There's going to be a lot of.
Yeah.
I'm going to have to get rid of my picture.
A lot of editorial.
All right.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Captain, how are you going to go about doing this?
Are you going to read the book?
Are you just going to start going at it and not even read the instructions?
I read most of the instructions on the way here.
So I know what I'm doing.
Okay.
So you need to build it.
Yes.
All right.
Are you going to tinker it?
I don't tinker.
Oh, yeah.
That's me.
I heard someone say tinker.
All right.
Captain, are you going to ask Chuckles to tinker for you?
Chuckles, can you start tinkering with this?
He brings me whatever it is.
I immediately start taking it apart.
That carriage wheel.
It says constituent components.
What components could there be?
Spokes?
There's just splinters everywhere.
All right.
And then, again, plus one because we're doing as a team or is that not apply here?
Captain, are you helping out with this one?
I'm holding like, I'm like doing things like holding his nails and like handing him tools.
Holding the flashlight and getting yelled at.
Yeah.
That's.
All right.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
He's too much when we built a tree for it when I was younger.
Go ahead and do plus one for that.
Who?
Me?
Or a tiger?
I'm.
Am I rolling it?
Yeah.
You're rolling it.
You're going to do it.
And then you're going to get the captain's expertise.
And while he read it and deciphered the pictures.
And he's getting yelled at.
Congratulations.
Plus six.
I do it.
So, yeah.
You do it.
It's plus six.
I thought it was like half of that.
You mean half?
Six.
So, six.
You get three ticks.
Holy crap.
So, it's half of it.
Okay.
Three quarters.
Okay.
Well, three.
Half of the six.
Because I think when we rolled, it was a five.
So, it was.
Two.
Yeah.
So, if you roll one to three on that, you get one tick.
No.
You had two threes.
Oh.
I was thinking.
You take the highest and half of that is what is.
I see.
Add it to the project.
I see.
Unless if I'm.
Sorry, Bridget.
I don't mean to step on your.
No.
You're right.
Yeah.
So, like.
The way that the long-term projects.
The segments work.
If you get one to three, you get one tick.
If you roll four or five, you get two ticks.
If you get six, you get three ticks, which is what you guys got.
And then if you get a critical, you get five ticks.
Okay.
I was thinking.
My rib.
Fixings.
I got two sixes.
I get confused on the two rolls.
Yeah.
That one you.
You knocked out of the park.
You really did heal yourself.
Physician.
Heal thyself.
And I gave myself two extra ribs.
Well.
Yeah.
You did a great job with that.
On one side, which is a weird choice for me.
Yeah.
Well.
Teach his own.
Well, the night kind of comes to a close.
And, you know, you guys are sitting in the junk fort.
Well, now the junk barge.
Going up and down the sewer lines.
Relaxing.
Acting all cool.
Meanwhile, upstairs, where the junk fort used to be.
You guys obviously don't have trivia to this.
But two of Baz's men have gone up there.
They were definitely going to try and burn down the junk fort.
If you guys had a movie.
You made a good call.
And they're now.
They're all sighing.
Because they're like.
Well, fuck.
It's not here anymore.
What are we going to have to do?
We're going to have to go back to Baz.
And let him know.
He definitely does want these guys dead.
Well, that's the end of the day.
And the two men leave.
In terms of your entanglement.
We kind of talked about this earlier.
Baz.
He definitely.
Well, let's just say anyone working for him.
Is definitely going to try and take you guys out.
If they see them.
They see you.
Bad time to upgrade my rifle.
To not have it.
Yeah.
Baz is not.
Word on the street is.
Is that Baz.
Wants you three out of the picture.
Because we're threats.
Well, and you really weren't supposed to survive the prison.
Yeah.
We're threats.
And you did it in flying colors.
We're so good.
We're threats.
You did it with aplomb.
I mean.
A bomb.
Bob-omb.
Oh.
All right.
Well.
That's the end of.
Of.
Wait.
The session.
Wait.
Can I give Dee Dee the cigars of smoke to relieve her stress?
Because I definitely stole them.
You did not take.
Did you take cigars or just tobacco?
I thought you took like loose tobacco.
I did say tobacco.
But I meant cigars.
Yeah.
You can give Dee Dee some.
Just have to chew on.
Some cigar.
Just loose tobacco.
Oh.
She starts spitting into a spittoon.
That makes her so much more awesome.
I know.
She's such a fucking cool monkey.
I'm sorry, ape.
Thank you.
All right.
Toilet.
Oh, I like your picture.
Toilet hole.
So wait, where's the steering wheel?
Is it?
Hey, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Thank you.
you
Thank you.
