Transcript
- 0:00I I can't relate. You and you don't.
- 0:03Want to talk about your divorce? Yeah, fuck you man.
- 0:08Look at me, I'm mad. I came from a happy household.
- 0:11Yeah, my, my family wasn't broken.
- 0:15Hey. Why?
- 0:27Why does everyone keep ruining everything?
- 0:29Max has Aphrodite, Spencer's trying to fight Aries, why now?
- 0:33Do they want to help this power coursing through me?
- 0:37What is this? What am I?
- 0:40What did it say about my dad? OK, well last we left off, our
- 1:28intrepid heroes were causing quite a large stir up at the
- 1:35Crucible of Champions. Max is currently holding
- 1:39Aphrodite several 1000 feet in the air.
- 1:43Murphy's just had the biggest tantrum going, and for some
- 1:48reason this tantrum has caused everything to fucking explode
- 1:52around him. The floor's exploding, his light
- 1:55coming out everywhere. Spencer's just stood in the
- 1:57middle of this shit. Like the fuck.
- 2:00And all the gods at seeing Murphy do this are all sort of
- 2:05bewildered, and they all seem like they know something that
- 2:09you, you lot don't. So to kick it off, who should we
- 2:14go with first? Max, what are you doing with
- 2:17Aphrodite at this moment in time?
- 2:20Currently attempting to breach the stratosphere.
- 2:25OK, one one second I've got I've got something that I've been
- 2:29looking for for about 6 months. Oh boy.
- 2:32It's my rule book. Oh boy.
- 2:36Found it. Rules in this game.
- 2:39No, come on. I mean you only lose it every
- 2:42episode. I do lose it every episode, but
- 2:44I've got this. This new desk has this nice
- 2:47little document holder underneath it.
- 2:49So well, considering you flying, I'm going to say, and you're
- 2:53trying to beat the stratosphere, I'll say let's roll and unleash,
- 2:56unleash your powers. For me.
- 2:59That's 2D6 plus freak. That's going to be a 10 total.
- 3:04OK, so you are fucking zooming through the air when you start.
- 3:11The onlookers looking up at you start seeing this sort of fiery
- 3:15glow come around you as you are piercing through the
- 3:17stratosphere, going further and further into space.
- 3:21And you're kind of shocked because Aphrodite isn't making a
- 3:26sound, she's just sort of allowing it to happen of.
- 3:30Course in space no one can hear you scream.
- 3:33Great, Murphy, how's the tantrum going?
- 3:43Oh, it's going great. Super emotional about it.
- 3:47Murphy is I, I believe he was like floating a few feet off the
- 3:51ground and all this stuff was just sort of breaking and
- 3:56crashing in basically like the entire arena, like you said,
- 4:00being obliterated. And he, he looks up.
- 4:04I, I think I, I feel like his eyes are glowing like a bright
- 4:08blue. He, he looks up at Max and
- 4:13Aphrodite and his voice is like amplified throughout this area.
- 4:20And he goes bring her back Max, and he snaps his fingers and a a
- 4:26beam of white light encompasses Max, and as he's flying through
- 4:31it, he is transported back down to the ground.
- 4:34Oh shit. And in this reality storm as
- 4:37well, Aphrodite's true form is revealed, so she no longer looks
- 4:41like what everybody else sees. I don't know what she looks like
- 4:45normally, but. OK, so you see A5 foot 5 foot 8
- 4:49brunette woman, still beautiful, but she looks like she has has
- 4:54been going through the craziest mental breakdown for a long
- 4:58time. She's got bags under her eyes,
- 5:01her hair's ratty, she looks haggard.
- 5:05She she looks like she's lost a lot of weight recently and she
- 5:09she just doesn't look like a very stable person.
- 5:12She's got this sort of creepy grin on her face.
- 5:16Yeah, she she doesn't look like the personification of love and
- 5:20beauty at this moment in time. She looks like the
- 5:23personification of obsession and craziness, which makes sense
- 5:30now. You look at her with how Murphy
- 5:32has sort of been acting towards her at.
- 5:36At this moment, Aries stands back up from being absolutely
- 5:41pile drived into the ground by Spencer.
- 5:44Can't remember what voice I did for Aries, I'm not going to lie,
- 5:48but he he sort of does this sort of maniacal laugh he's.
- 5:55This is a battle for the ages. And he runs and spear tackles
- 6:01Spencer. Would I be able to use a class
- 6:04move to try and take this hit? Yeah, you can.
- 6:07You can go for it. All right, I think Max, out of
- 6:11the corner of his eye, he sees Spencer going to get tackled.
- 6:15I'm going to use stage fighting because I am directly engaging a
- 6:19threat with an audience watching.
- 6:22So I'm going to mark the guilty condition because I think in
- 6:26this moment, with this reality storm going and seeing what
- 6:31Aphrodite's true form is, seeing that he feels like he's done
- 6:36everything he could to protect his his two children.
- 6:41And apparently everything was not enough.
- 6:44So he's just gonna try and try and take this hit and have
- 6:50Spencer not be tackled. OK, yeah, roll directly against
- 6:55fret with superior instead all. Right, that is going to be AI Do
- 7:00Math 10. OK, yeah, so you kick off the
- 7:04ground and you just, like, fly like a speeding bullet in front
- 7:09of Spencer as Aries is coming. And as soon as you get there,
- 7:12you just get this. This Hulk of a man just
- 7:15absolutely takes you down and it is a hell of a hit.
- 7:21The wind comes out your body. You feel like you've just been
- 7:25hit into a different plane of existence.
- 7:28You are. You are going through it in that
- 7:30moment. Spencer, how would you react to
- 7:35seeing Max just absolutely take this hella hit for you?
- 7:42Spencer is already pissed that people keep stealing your
- 7:45fucking Thunder today, and now this clown is skidding in on her
- 7:49fight again. I mean like, what the fuck?
- 7:53What the fuck? This was fun.
- 7:56I was having fun, I was having fucking fun.
- 8:00And then Murphy goes and does this shit.
- 8:03He has fucking powers now. What the fuck is that?
- 8:06And now Big Hero Max finally decides that he wants to, I
- 8:11don't know, be a responsible adult and be just decides to
- 8:15tank a tackle. No, I'm the tank.
- 8:17I'm the one that's supposed to get tackled.
- 8:20And this fucking clown, now he's over there whimpering.
- 8:24Oh my God, this is exhausting. Maybe less whimpering and more
- 8:30just. Whatever it is, yeah, it's
- 8:34making Spencer angrier. This whole situation.
- 8:39I think she's going to walk off. What, Spencer's.
- 8:42She's just going to turn around and, like, go hop the fence out
- 8:45of the arena to go sit in the stands?
- 8:47This is not her fucking fight. Clearly, they don't fucking need
- 8:51her. Fuck this, Fuck the armor and
- 8:54fuck all of this. What's the fucking point?
- 8:56And this bitch now? I mean, like, visibly relieved
- 8:59that this is not Regina anymore. But like, I, I don't have a dog
- 9:03in this fight. I don't give a fuck.
- 9:04OK, that wasn't the reaction quite I was expecting.
- 9:10Yeah, Spencer walks, walks off casually and hops the side of
- 9:14the fence to go sit where the other gods are sitting.
- 9:17Yeah, and it's an impressive hop as well.
- 9:19It's like like the wall is like 14 feet tall and you just do it
- 9:25with ease. You just like.
- 9:27Grabs onto the top one arm, pull up over the top.
- 9:33Spencer, I think we might die. What are you doing?
- 9:41She's leaving like she always does.
- 9:42It's what she's good at. You'll be fine.
- 9:44You got it. Clearly you got it.
- 9:49I very clearly don't have it. Yeah, you look as you sit down,
- 9:59you just say the shell of a man that Max once was lay on the
- 10:03floor. And that's saying something.
- 10:09And you see and looking at Murphy, like probably looking at
- 10:14Murphy now you've sat down and you've taken a Pew, You see that
- 10:19this energy is like unstable. It is a large commanding energy
- 10:26that has just come out of nowhere.
- 10:28His eyes are glowing blue, but it's like you can see like the,
- 10:33the glow is massive and it's floating in the air.
- 10:37And it's sort of like, sort of like when a, when Goku first
- 10:41becomes Super Saiyan and his hair's sort of in the air and he
- 10:45looks all fucking scary and shit.
- 10:48Like imagine like Aphrodite is now freezer shitting herself in
- 10:53front of in front of Murphy, who is Goku?
- 10:58Does that make me Krillin? Yes.
- 11:02Yeah, I think Spencer's going to turn to like whoever as close as
- 11:05me. Like that doesn't look great,
- 11:09right? It's just puberty, it happens.
- 11:16He's like 17 I think he's already done with the puberty
- 11:19stuff right? Or is it different for boys?
- 11:25Not now. It's different for gods.
- 11:31Oh. Boom, we snapped back.
- 11:43Murphy, what are you doing? Murphy is looking at Aries.
- 11:48I'm assuming he's still looking for a fight.
- 11:50Yeah. OK.
- 11:51And Murphy's gonna look at Aries and be like, can you give us a
- 11:54moment, please? And he'll snap his fingers
- 11:57again, and this beam of light will come down and just beam
- 12:00Aries somewhere else. I don't know where.
- 12:06Let's find out where Aries he's going.
- 12:09Oh God. Let's roll AD 100 on the
- 12:12multiverse dice. OK, we'll get to that later.
- 12:19I hate that. I want it on the record that I
- 12:22hate that. In Before Aries shows up in
- 12:29Austin, TX. You thought you had problems
- 12:33before? God, Murphy looks at Max and he
- 12:36goes. Get up you Pansy.
- 12:39Like there's what? What are you?
- 12:40What are you crying about? This is all you do is you whine
- 12:43and you complain and he'll look over at Spencer and be like,
- 12:47you're the biggest and the strongest of us.
- 12:49Why are you just sitting down? I know we were trying to fight,
- 12:52but why? Like it doesn't make any sense.
- 12:54That's all you do. All you do, all you are is mean
- 12:57and just pissy all the time. And he he looks back at Max and
- 13:01he goes, you know, for somebody who's supposed to be the adult
- 13:04of the group, you're really kind of shit.
- 13:07You know that? Don't take responsibility for
- 13:09anything. You got to wait.
- 13:10You got to wait from Phoebe, and you got a little whiff of
- 13:13freedom, and that's all it is. And he's just like, you know,
- 13:17I'm supposed to be the captain of this group.
- 13:19And nobody pays attention when we're on the ship.
- 13:23It's always what you guys want to do.
- 13:24It's always school. It's always working out.
- 13:25It's never team building. We don't work as a unit.
- 13:28You know, neither of you even knew that today is my birthday.
- 13:35Fuck is his birthday. Max, is it his birthday?
- 13:43And he looks between between you 2 and goes.
- 13:47Before we left for on this trip my mum asked me a question.
- 13:50She asked me if you guys are my friends.
- 13:52And I told her I didn't know and I don't think I still do.
- 13:55And he snaps his fingers and a beam of light comes down and
- 13:57brings him to play. Oh.
- 13:58But when he leaves, the reality storm clears up as well.
- 14:02Yeah, there's all all the cracks.
- 14:04Everything in the ground disappears.
- 14:06No light show. All the gods look bewildered.
- 14:19How are you both feeling right now?
- 14:22Spencer just tilts her head all the way back and lets out like
- 14:25the biggest audible sigh. Max just kind of flies over and
- 14:44just sits down next to Spencer, head in his hands.
- 14:47I think we really fucked up on this one.
- 14:50I don't know, I think we all kind of fucked up on this one.
- 14:53I mean, clearly we all have a lot of shit going on that we
- 14:57just don't talk to each other about, right?
- 14:59Like, you know, we spend a lot of time together, we spend all
- 15:03of our fucking dime together, but we don't actually know each
- 15:06other. This has been one colossal shit
- 15:09show after another and it feels like we're just going from
- 15:12horribly chaotic event to horribly chaotic event.
- 15:16Surprised we made it this far honestly.
- 15:18I oh boy, man, I, I don't know where Murphy went, but I feel
- 15:25like, I feel like I owe him an apology.
- 15:27We probably need to go find him. All right, I don't know if I'm
- 15:30going to apologize, but I can at least wish him a happy birthday.
- 15:36Can't. Believe we forgot his fucking
- 15:38birthday, Spencer. Max, I don't even think I knew
- 15:41when his birthday was ever. Neither did I, but it still
- 15:45feels bad. Yeah, I'm not saying it feels
- 15:48good. I'm just saying I don't even
- 15:49think I asked. Like, I don't know, I feel like,
- 15:53I feel like I think. I asked the first thing about
- 15:56either of you. Well, we don't.
- 15:57We don't know each other. We don't know each other.
- 15:59We got thrown together like this and then we spent six months
- 16:02training and not actually learning about each other
- 16:05because I was too busy making us all sweat.
- 16:08And Zordon, Zorlon, whatever its fucking name is, I don't know.
- 16:14This has all been a lot. It's been a lot.
- 16:16And Murph's a kid and I'm a kid and you're.
- 16:20Clinically depressed. And I don't know, we're all very
- 16:26selfish, Max. We've all been very selfish.
- 16:29Yeah. We need to find him.
- 16:32We need to find him. We need to fucking.
- 16:35We need to fix this. This is so much and puberty is
- 16:41so hard Max. My hormones are so crazy and I'm
- 16:49on my period. Do you know what space stamp us
- 16:52are like? No.
- 16:55They're shit, Max, They're shit. All right, OK, all right, I'm
- 17:03going to for once in my life in the past fucking six months, I'm
- 17:08going to be an adult. Let's, I don't know, let's go
- 17:11back to the PERD, let's regroup, let's find a space Walgreens so
- 17:16we can get you the name brand stuff and let's let's go find
- 17:21Murph. Thank you.
- 17:23He's alone out there. We really, we have to go get
- 17:25him. He's in charge.
- 17:27Oh, yeah. I can't make decisions.
- 17:29No, he died. He's the leader of the group.
- 17:34And I swear to fucking God, if you tell anybody that I'm crying
- 17:37right now, I'm gonna kill you. And I mean that very seriously.
- 17:45Safe with me? As you're having this really
- 18:04heartfelt, touching moment between 2:00 and comrades in
- 18:09arms who have just finally realised that they are in this
- 18:12together, you hear from the other side, like in the collar,
- 18:17like in the Crucible and the Coliseum bit, you hear.
- 18:21Did you think I'd let you leave just like that?
- 18:24Nope. And you see Aries burning, like
- 18:27bubbling, all all these melt, all these armours started to
- 18:32melt in like it looks like it's just crawled out of a volcano.
- 18:37He he thought he could have been rid of me that easily.
- 18:44I'm going to teach you all a lesson.
- 18:47Hey. Hey, Spencer.
- 18:48Yeah. You know how you were, you were
- 18:52you were looking for a fight. Yeah.
- 18:54Oh, I'm like, so primed right now.
- 18:56And she's like. Wiping her tears Go.
- 18:58And Spencer? I'll support you, you go.
- 19:00Spencer leaps back down. Yeah, as you leap back down
- 19:06Aries, just box it at you, like full throttle, like bat out of
- 19:11hell, sort of sprinting towards you.
- 19:14And as he's running, you see that his hands are empty.
- 19:18And then he puts his hand behind his back and he pulls out this,
- 19:22this black steel sword with Greek inscription in it.
- 19:28I'm not going to tell you what the Greek says because I can't
- 19:30read Greek and. And Spencer can't read.
- 19:40And he, like, jumps into the air and he takes a massive swing at
- 19:44you and it just misses. It like goes straight past your
- 19:51left arm and hits straight into the ground.
- 19:53And he looks up at you and he's got this maniacal grin on his
- 19:56face and he can see that in his eyes.
- 19:58His eyes are all bloodshot and. Like a crazy person, like the
- 20:03pupils are dilated to fuck. He looks like he's like he's on
- 20:06something. What do you do?
- 20:10I would like to say that I still have punch everyone activated.
- 20:15OK. We didn't leave fight mode, we
- 20:18just we threw a temper tantrum because we're a child.
- 20:22And I think she's going to take the moment that he like stabs
- 20:25into the ground and I want her to to unleash her powers but
- 20:31using her danger stat and kick the ever loving shit out of him.
- 20:36And like so as his arm is like extended as he has it in the
- 20:40ground, she wants to try and break his arm.
- 20:43Oh, sick. Yeah, roll.
- 20:45So oh, that's an 8, but +3 so an 11.
- 20:51An 11 Yeah, you, you see him but extended sword in the ground and
- 20:58you literally like you do some killer shit, you grip your
- 21:02shoulder and you do some next sick fucking side flip over him
- 21:07and when you're on the side there his elbow is the joint
- 21:10here. You grip his wrist and his
- 21:12shoulder and you just barrel your knee through the joint of
- 21:15his elbow. It's going to get a bit graphic
- 21:18and you just see the bone protrude straight through this
- 21:22armour and he lets out this guttural scream and he's just
- 21:26like, and he, he balls up his left hand and he goes to punch
- 21:34you and he like punches you like square in the, the solar plexus.
- 21:40And you, you go skidding back and you sort of like have to
- 21:46take a second to breathe because obviously you get wounded
- 21:49getting hit in the solar plexus. But as he's punched you, you see
- 21:54that he's popped to the bone out of his arm even further by
- 21:57forcing his body to twist. So he he has like 1.
- 22:01His right arm is now limped and he's just sort of stood there.
- 22:05I don't know if any of you have seen the movie Warrior, which is
- 22:08like a cage fighting movie, but he stands up and he's got his
- 22:12limp arm in front and he's just got one hand up, like ready to
- 22:15Duke it out. We'll go to to.
- 22:22Max, What are you doing in this moment, Max?
- 22:25I think Max is he's allowing Spencer to do what she does best
- 22:31but when he when he sees her get flung back I think Max goes in
- 22:38before before Aries can can get right and hit another move.
- 22:43I think Max is going to swoop down and use some some I beams
- 22:50to see if he can just shoot right for his eyes and try and
- 22:53blind him. OK, that's another.
- 22:56Unleash your power for me, please.
- 22:58Ah well, we can't win them all. That was A7.
- 23:01OK, so I'm going to say let's take the hopeless condition
- 23:07because everything that's just happened in the last five
- 23:10minutes sort of got you feeling down.
- 23:13Everything that Murphy said to you hit home you these I beams
- 23:18hit Aries. They don't do a lot of damage,
- 23:21but they do keep him sort of in place so he can't move onwards
- 23:26to to fight Spencer. Spencer, what are you doing?
- 23:30You've just seen Max fly past and like suppress Aries with
- 23:33these I beams. Spencer shoots him like a thumbs
- 23:37up as she's wheezing a little bit trying to get her her
- 23:42balance back so that she can charge Aries again.
- 23:44The 2nd that she does, she's running full tilt and she wants
- 23:48to do maximum damage and she knows that that bone sticking
- 23:51out of that arm and she can, I really, really don't want to say
- 23:55RIP it off. Dad, just say it.
- 23:58She can, she can, she can fuck him up and she takes his whole
- 24:01right arm and that's the goal. She's going to fully charge at
- 24:05him and grab the arm and try. And twist it off.
- 24:09Yeah, roll me a directly engage a threat, please.
- 24:13Great, that's dangerous. Oh good.
- 24:15I still have a + 3. OK, that is a 9 + 3.
- 24:19So we were at a 12. What day 12?
- 24:22Dirty 12. You spreading full teeth, full
- 24:28teeth, full tilt. Full teeth.
- 24:30Full teeth, baby. Full teeth, full tilt full.
- 24:37Teeth stamp on flapping wind. Full Tilt at Aries.
- 24:46So as as Spencer runs, she's going to grab his arm and she's
- 24:49going to essentially do like a round off holding onto his arm
- 24:55and twist it as she like flips backwards.
- 24:58So he either goes with her or his arm goes with her.
- 25:01Oh let me roll CB, what happens? Why am I going to fucking put
- 25:08this? You know, I've got this bigger
- 25:10desk. You need a tray.
- 25:13I've got a dice tray. It's got sharp in it at the
- 25:16moment it's helpful. And A and a penny forever.
- 25:21Ever need to flip a coin at any point?
- 25:23Yeah, he he like he holds his ground and actually doing this
- 25:29round off like the full arm doesn't come off, but his
- 25:33forearm. You you just like when you land
- 25:35from this round up you just have Aries hand and forearm just held
- 25:40in your hand. God damn nice.
- 25:43And he is. He is not looking great,
- 25:47understandably. He just ripped an an appendage
- 25:50off of him. Spencer will throw it out of the
- 25:54Coliseum into the stands like a figure skater tossing stuffed
- 25:59animals back in the fans after they've thrown them on to the
- 26:03yes. Aries sort of is, is sort of
- 26:16stunned in this moment, understandably just lost an arm.
- 26:20But he sort of stands there for a second and then on his left
- 26:25hand, clicks his finger, and you see just like 70 or 80 Spartan
- 26:33warriors, just, like, spawn into this Crucible.
- 26:38Oh ship. And he said.
- 26:40I told you I wasn't going to let you leave this place alive.
- 26:43And these Spartan warriors just start charging towards you,
- 26:49Spencer. Max, I'm going to need a little
- 26:52help. Yep, you you focus on the big
- 26:57one, I'll take the rest. OK, OK.
- 27:06OK Max, what are you doing against 70 Spartan soldiers?
- 27:11I think Max is going to I think he's gonna he's gonna land.
- 27:15I'm imagining like back-to-back to Spencer as as these warriors
- 27:21are closing in and he's gonna be like, there is one thing I've
- 27:24learned from you how to be incredibly angry.
- 27:29And I think Max is just gonna, I think we're going to use time
- 27:33for the show. And so I'm going to put on a
- 27:36flamboyant display of powers to attempt and draw basically draw
- 27:41aggro from all seventy of these warriors so that Spencer can
- 27:47focus on Aries. OK, roll.
- 27:52Plus superior. That's what I needed.
- 27:55That's going to be a 13. No dirty 12.
- 28:00I'm sorry. OK, so with that you can name 2
- 28:02MPC's present. So we'll cast the 70 Spartan
- 28:06Warriors as one NPC. Who else would you like to?
- 28:11Aries. OK, so So what are you?
- 28:14What are you doing on this display?
- 28:16So I think, I think Max is going to like channel all of the anger
- 28:21that he's holding in his body, just like he, he takes these
- 28:25feelings of guilt and hopelessness that he has and
- 28:29just channels them into rage. And so I think the he just like,
- 28:34he leans back and he just lets out this guttural like scream
- 28:39And the, the light beams that are usually this like light
- 28:43purple, silver, white for a second they just turn bright
- 28:48red. And he just like, I imagine he,
- 28:53he starts like he flies up and he starts spinning and this
- 28:57laser is just like pulsing out and just like just absolutely
- 29:04just running through these guys. OK, Yeah, you can take out a few
- 29:17of them with this beam of light. I'd say you'd probably take down
- 29:2220 in Aries. Now you have the attention of
- 29:26Aries as well. Yeah.
- 29:27So Spencer, you have like basically a a distracted foe in
- 29:32front of you right now. What are you going to do?
- 29:36Oh, I'm going to fucking charge him again.
- 29:38But I'm going to use Bull in a China shop.
- 29:39I think that way it can inflict maximum damage on the arena to
- 29:42try and slow down these Spartan warriors at the same time as I
- 29:46am attempting to annihilate. I'm going to go for Aries right
- 29:51leg to fully incapacitate him on the right side.
- 29:55She's going to do in a in a perfect world like a running
- 29:59jump and just try and make it crater where she impacts him.
- 30:04OK, yeah, sick roll directly against your throat, please.
- 30:08Which is again plus. Plus danger, yeah.
- 30:11Yeah. Oh shit, that's only a nine.
- 30:17I do still though on a miss get to make.
- 30:22So you do like a sort of running leap, like looking superhero
- 30:28land punching the ground and you just create this large crate.
- 30:33I'm going to say it's like a 40 foot diameter crater, obviously
- 30:38because of how how angry you are.
- 30:40Obviously everything that's just gone in the last 5-10 minutes,
- 30:44yeah, to process, especially for a a 17 year old so.
- 30:47All these emotions, a 17 year old girl off her period.
- 30:50Let's be clear. Yeah, it is Cannon.
- 30:53It is cannon, yeah. And I mean she's even a little
- 30:57extra angry because she was definitely aiming for Aries leg
- 31:00and definitely missed. But at least this is going to
- 31:03make it really really hard for those 70s Spartan soldiers to
- 31:05move around quickly and even for Aries move.
- 31:08Around. Especially as he's bleeding out.
- 31:20The 70 Spartan soldiers, well, 50 down because you took twenty
- 31:25of them out, all throw spares that they've got.
- 31:30Like that is what the Spartans used, right?
- 31:32Spares didn't use, Yeah. Yeah, swords or swords and
- 31:35Shields? They all throw us Spears like
- 31:40only aiming at you because you have distracted them thoroughly,
- 31:44Max. So you just get this barrage of
- 31:47like 50 Spears coming straight towards you.
- 31:51Yep. Oh, they got a crit?
- 31:55Oh yeah, you take a few Spears and it hurts.
- 31:59I won't lie to you. Yeah.
- 32:01So I'll, I'll let you choose which condition you're going to
- 32:04take in, in that. I think I'm going to take the
- 32:08afraid condition. OK, yeah, so you you've got a
- 32:12couple spares sticking out of you at this point, which, you
- 32:16know, this isn't pain you've really felt before.
- 32:19Every other fight we've we've had like you've been pretty
- 32:23successful. But the Ice Leviathan, you
- 32:25didn't really have to do much. And even before that, back on
- 32:29Earth, you didn't like all the enemies did.
- 32:31They never really used sharp weaponry against you.
- 32:33It was more like hand to hand combat.
- 32:38So this this is a bit of a shock to your system.
- 32:41Try and hold on Max, please, you're helping.
- 32:46Murphy. Oh, no, he's dying.
- 32:49He's starting to imagine people who aren't there.
- 32:54Yeah, as you've created this crater, Aries is going to put
- 33:00his attention back on you, Spencer.
- 33:02And he's going to do this big flamboyant, like jump in the air
- 33:05spin kick, like straight, straight to the face and it hits
- 33:12your square in the jaw. You know, a bit.
- 33:14Obviously you're going to get like a bit of blood spit out.
- 33:18And he's, he's just going to be like, as you look back up at
- 33:21him, he's already back in that stance, like missing arm, one
- 33:26hand up, ready to Duke it out. He isn't looking good though.
- 33:29He's like sweating profusely. He looks quite pale.
- 33:33He he is looking fucked. Spencer spits the spits the
- 33:39blood out of her mouth and smiles at him.
- 33:41You're ready, you're ready. And she's going to fully charge
- 33:45him again and but and try to spear tackle him.
- 33:48In this case, she wants to grapple with him.
- 33:50She knows that she can beat him in a fucking grapple.
- 33:52Now. He's down one arm, there's no
- 33:54way that he can pin her. OK.
- 33:56Yeah. Again, directly engage.
- 33:58Engage your fret please. Oh yes, it's another 9.
- 34:05Yeah, that's cool. So he is going to, you are going
- 34:09to get him in this in this tackle, but you're not going to
- 34:13take him to the ground. He's going to with his left
- 34:16hand. He's going to like grab like I'm
- 34:18assuming you're all like, I think we already said that we're
- 34:21all like morphed up and Oh yeah, yeah, he's going to grab like
- 34:25the gap between your armour, wear your helmet and your chest
- 34:30pieces. And he's just going to, yeah,
- 34:32he's just going to like hold it there.
- 34:33And he's going to create an opportunity for allies.
- 34:36So he's he's got you pinned in a position where allies can now
- 34:41attack if they can get close. Unforge.
- 34:48Yeah, Max, what are you going to do?
- 34:51What am I going to do? I guess I'm just going to try
- 34:55and assess the situation. I think Max is trying
- 35:01desperately to figure out what he can do.
- 35:03I think as he's doing this, he's just trying to like call out to
- 35:07Murphy and he's just like, Murphy, please, I don't know
- 35:11where you're at, but if you can hear us, we really need you.
- 35:16I don't think either of us are going to make it without you.
- 35:20OK. Before you roll your assessor
- 35:23situation. Yes.
- 35:26You see, this is a really cool caveat because I didn't think of
- 35:29doing this until this right this moment, you see this rainbow
- 35:34fucking beam of light come down from space and like out, out of
- 35:40this, this beam of light, you see 14 or 15 winged women in
- 35:46armour and they're all like angry.
- 35:49They look like they're ready to fuck some shit up.
- 35:52And like the one in the front looks up to you, Max.
- 35:57And he and he, she goes, Heimdahl sends his regards and
- 36:01they just charge in and they're absolutely fucking up these
- 36:05Spartan warriors. So you can you can roll your
- 36:08assessor situation now, but remember to take a -2.
- 36:11Yeah. All right.
- 36:13That is going to be plus superior and that is a six.
- 36:20Yeah, you, you can't blame anything, my guy.
- 36:23You are in pain. Max is on the verge of black and
- 36:27out. Yeah, he he is.
- 36:29You're in a bad way my my friend.
- 36:31Although that was 5 potential. Oh yeah, you can level up and
- 36:35clear all your conditions if you want to.
- 36:37You can take a new move from this book, or you can take one
- 36:41from another book, or you can change labels.
- 36:45Have a moment of truth. You could drink your green
- 36:48booze. You can drink your green booze.
- 36:52Oh my God. Or.
- 36:53You can have the alien drama. Drama no.
- 36:56Don't do that. That's a bad idea, right?
- 36:59Now, no, not quite drink. Drink.
- 37:01The booze. I think I'm going to take a move
- 37:05from another playbook. What that move is I'm not quite
- 37:09sure. But do we also get to clear my
- 37:10conditions? Yeah, when when you level up,
- 37:12you'll get cleared conditions. OK, so move to be determined,
- 37:17but I think Max realizing like, oh fuck, we might, we both might
- 37:23actually die. And seeing these, seeing these
- 37:28what I assume to be Valkyries come down and just help even the
- 37:32playing field. I think that instills Max with
- 37:35some dad strength. And I think he's just gonna he's
- 37:41gonna get up. And I imagine there's a there's
- 37:44like one of these warriors that kind of broke through on the
- 37:46way. I think Max is just gonna like
- 37:49reach behind him and just kind of like suplex him, suplex this
- 37:54Warrior, just like grab him and like flip him over and just look
- 37:59over to look over Spencer. He's going to spit out some
- 38:02blood and just give like a like a little grin and he's going to
- 38:06be like. Not yet.
- 38:09Oh, think fuck. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,
- 38:25cool, cool, cool. Yeah, Aries is going to see
- 38:29these women appear. He's going to get a bit angry
- 38:33about it, and he's going to use his left arm.
- 38:36Look at that elbow. Are you in the back, Spencer to
- 38:39knock you to the floor? So he lets go of me to elbow me
- 38:42in the back because he does only have one arm.
- 38:45OK, cool. Yeah, which I'm not going to get
- 38:49your condition because you're it's not like there's anything
- 38:53that's really going to happen. You're not going to feel you're
- 38:55in the middle of a fight. You're not going to feel
- 38:56hopeless or insecure for getting hit in the back.
- 38:58It's. Yeah, we're, we're exchanging
- 39:01glows. And he's going to sort of like
- 39:04start trying to climb out of this crater to start dealing
- 39:08with these newcomers to the battleground.
- 39:11What is it? What?
- 39:12What are you going to do in this this moment?
- 39:14I think especially as he's walking away, Spencer's going to
- 39:17like kick up from where she is laying flat and once again just
- 39:24send herself flying at him like projectile to try and get him
- 39:27into a grapple again and prevent him from inflicting damage on
- 39:31Max or stopping these Valkyries from helping them.
- 39:36OK, cool. Yeah, again, directly against
- 39:39your fret, my friend. All right, that's a little
- 39:43better. I rolled an 8 + 3.
- 39:45We're back in an 11. Yeah, you spear tackle Aries in
- 39:50the back and he just lies flat on his face like on the side of
- 39:54this crater. You've started just you started
- 39:57got him like a knee on his back and your hand like on his head
- 40:01like pushing him into the dirt so he can't move with you know,
- 40:04he's fully like subdued at this point because he can't move
- 40:08anywhere. He's not got 2 arms to push up
- 40:10against the ground to help him get up.
- 40:12And yeah, you, you, you've basically got him pinned for for
- 40:16seeable or until you do let him go.
- 40:18These Spartans are getting fucked up.
- 40:22These Valkyries are absolutely fucking.
- 40:25Shit up. Like when they got here, there
- 40:27was still 50 Spartans, and now, now you look around and it's
- 40:31probably like 13 or 14 of them left.
- 40:34They've only been here for like 2030 seconds at this point.
- 40:37They're absolutely clearing through this, this hoard of
- 40:41angry Spartans. Max, what do you do now?
- 40:46You see that? Jesus Christ, I can't fucking
- 40:48talk. Aries is pinned to the ground
- 40:51and all these Spartans are starting to be dealt with.
- 40:56I think Max is going to look to Spencer and yeah, he's going to
- 41:02look to Spencer and be like, do you mind if I cut in for a
- 41:06second? Oh please take a turn.
- 41:09And I think Max with this renewed vigor and lease on life
- 41:16is going to unleash his powers and he is just going to just
- 41:22once again try and see if he can if he can aim as I beams right
- 41:27for Aries head. OK, yeah, sick roll.
- 41:30Unleash your powers. 13. Yeah, OK.
- 41:36How do you want to do this? This is the penultimate blow.
- 41:40All right, I think Max is going to fly up and he's going to come
- 41:44down and I think he is. He's going to swoop in and like
- 41:49shoot these lasers basically right at Aries head.
- 41:53And I think he's he's thinking, I'm just going to like, I'm
- 41:58going to take this. But then he remembers why
- 42:01Spencer got so angry at him. So I think he's going to hold
- 42:04back just enough so that Spencer can take that final blow.
- 42:08Sick. Yeah.
- 42:09Spencer, you, you. You can see that Aries is 1 good
- 42:13hit away from biting the dust hit.
- 42:17I've got like 2 laser beam I hold burnt in the back of his
- 42:21helmet. You can see like the hair and
- 42:24skin singed on the back of his head.
- 42:27And he's also missing an arm. He's yeah, he's also making it
- 42:31now. Yeah, she's just going to punch
- 42:33him one more good time in the back of the head.
- 42:35Just, you know. OK, yeah, for fine.
- 42:38I'm going to give you an advantage on this blow.
- 42:40Thank you. Are you going to charge it up
- 42:41like a Falcon punch? Yeah, 100%.
- 42:43So that's like such a long wait time.
- 42:47It's practically slow motion. All right, I rolled a six and a
- 42:51three. I'm re rolling my three.
- 42:54That's another six baby. That is a.
- 42:57Hell yeah. I'm going to kill your stupid
- 43:00fucking God, Niall. How does it feel, Niall?
- 43:04How does it feel to be the one that has been good rolls against
- 43:06you all the time? I'm finally happy that it's not
- 43:09just me. Tonight has gone very well for
- 43:14me. It's never going to happen
- 43:15again. Yeah, you punch areas in the
- 43:18back of the head and you just splatter that shit.
- 43:21What? Yeah.
- 43:23Like, it just caves, brains and mucus everywhere.
- 43:28Yeah. And you hear like gasps from the
- 43:33arena, like all the onlookers in the arena.
- 43:36Yeah. Spencer pulls her hand back and
- 43:37like, shakes it off. Oh, it's gross.
- 43:40Oh, nice. And you see two gods stand up,
- 43:45which for the listener is Damos and Phobos, the gods of terror
- 43:50and fear. They're some like, nice people.
- 43:54Hey, do I get my armour now? And they both clip the fingers
- 44:03and you look around and where before Aries had called in 70
- 44:09Spartan warriors, Damos and Phobos call in a legion, At
- 44:13least 2000 men are stood there. And that's where we're going to
- 44:17end this episode. Rise up, break the cage, be the
- 44:22lion, be the storm, be the strength of the lightning.
- 44:27Rise with the dawn rays like the sun.
- 44:30This is what we came. For revolution.
- 44:35When your bridges make your choice, fight your demons raise
- 44:41your voice. They're only silent if we're
- 44:44making noise. So let the battle begin.
- 44:50Bended knees, the broken bones, the bleeding heart never bleeds
- 44:56alone. I am one of many cries.
- 45:02We are far from the rise up, break the cage, be in the lion,
- 45:08be in the storm, be in the strife.
- 45:10Come the lightness lies with the young rage like the sun.
- 45:16This is what we came for. Revolution.
- 45:36Raise the cage, be the lion, be the song, be the strike of the
- 45:41light, then rise with the dawn rays like the sun.
- 45:46This is what the king for revolution.
- 45:50Rise up. Write the cage, Be the lion, be
- 45:54the song, be the strike of the light, then rise with the dawn
- 45:59rays like the sun. This is what the king for
- 46:04revolution.
