• 0:02
  >> Speaker B: Jasmine, oolong, green
• 0:05
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:08
  teas were skillfully brewed at the blissful brew.
• 0:11
  Then everything changed when the shops
• 0:14
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:16
  All Mister Okaron, the shops owner and tea
• 0:19
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:22
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:25
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:28
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:30
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:34
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:36
  blissful brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:39
  world. Last time
• 0:42
  on benders and brews in avatar legends.
• 0:45
  >> Speaker A: You guys are currently inside the big open
• 0:47
  cavern. For the third trial. You successfully make it to the other
• 0:50
  side. The next challenge, the tunnel
• 0:53
  finally opens up into a room. The wind is
• 0:56
  shooting down the staircase and it is so
• 0:59
  incredibly intense to the point where it's keeping
• 1:01
  you from even moving forward.
• 1:04
  >> Speaker C: So while he's climbing up, I'm basically like,
• 1:07
  putting my shoulder into him and I'm,
• 1:09
  like, shoving him forward.
• 1:11
  >> Speaker A: Brock, Mika, on your back. Sure enough, you guys make it to the
• 1:14
  other side safely.
• 1:15
  >> Speaker C: Sick.
• 1:16
  >> Speaker A: As you guys walk into the next room, you
• 1:19
  see a wide couch filled with water.
• 1:22
  So remember how when you first arrived and
• 1:25
  you asked if this place was haunted, then I
• 1:27
  mentioned there was a flesh eating spirit? So this is where
• 1:30
  that spirit resides.
• 1:32
  >> Speaker D: Guo hops into the boat and
• 1:34
  starts looking for a hat. All hands
• 1:37
  on deck.
• 1:38
  >> Speaker A: Miga, that fear causes you to go a little bit more
• 1:41
  intense than you'd want to. And the waves start to kick up a
• 1:44
  little bit harder as you. As you move the boat a little
• 1:47
  faster. Over the next probably
• 1:49
  1015 minutes, you guys finally
• 1:52
  reach the other side, the door starts to
• 1:54
  open. You guys look inside this room.
• 1:57
  Around the middle pedestal
• 2:00
  is Madame Yang.
• 2:08
  Welcome back, everybody, to benders and brews season
• 2:11
  three, episode five. We left off
• 2:14
  last episode with quite the cliffhanger, but before, well,
• 2:17
  actually, we would have already had, like, a little what happened last time,
• 2:20
  that you would have already heard up until this point. But we'll get to a
• 2:23
  quick verbal reminder for everybody
• 2:26
  of the very basics after
• 2:29
  we introduce or reintroduce the players and
• 2:32
  their characters.
• 2:33
  >> Speaker D: Dave, I'm playing Guo Han
• 2:35
  Guohan the adamant. And
• 2:38
  as established last episode, Guo
• 2:41
  has smooth cheeks.
• 2:43
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 2:43
  >> Speaker D: No facial hair so far, not even a
• 2:46
  peach fuzz. At 14 years of age,
• 2:49
  he has been experimenting with,
• 2:52
  different tea, maybe tinctures, you would
• 2:55
  call them tinctures. Just, rubbing tea on his face.
• 2:58
  >> Speaker A: Basically to try to get facial, to.
• 3:00
  >> Speaker D: Try to have some
• 3:03
  sort of reaction.
• 3:06
  >> Speaker A: Well, prefer the desired reaction, I
• 3:09
  was gonna say. I mean, I'm sure he's experienced a couple of negative
• 3:12
  reactions. He got some rashes. Rashes
• 3:15
  and acne and.
• 3:19
  >> Speaker D: Some light burns.
• 3:21
  >> Speaker A: I like to think that there have been a couple of leaves that, like, at the
• 3:24
  very least, like, left kind of a, faded,
• 3:26
  you know, dark. So it kind of looked like you had, like, a
• 3:29
  05:00 shadow. Like you came out into the blissful
• 3:32
  brew one day, ready for a day at work, and everyone's like,
• 3:35
  whoa, whoa, what's up? What's with your
• 3:37
  face? And you just look like a dude that hasn't shaved in a
• 3:40
  day. Really stressed out. Maybe you had
• 3:43
  bags under your eyes cause you were tired.
• 3:46
  >> Speaker D: No, I had tea bags.
• 3:51
  >> Speaker C: it is good. All right, I got one.
• 3:53
  >> Speaker A: All right. Go for it.
• 3:55
  >> Speaker C: So, who brought you? I am con, and I am playing
• 3:57
  broccoli. And, little to Guo's
• 4:00
  knowledge, occasionally he'll pluck a
• 4:03
  hair off his beard and, like, put it next to his pillow while
• 4:06
  he's sleeping to give Guo a sense of,
• 4:09
  oh, I'm growing.
• 4:10
  >> Speaker A: A beard, but it's falling out as quick as falling
• 4:12
  out.
• 4:13
  >> Speaker C: I gotta keep rubbing this leaves on
• 4:16
  my face.
• 4:17
  >> Speaker A: I thought. I thought you were just saying that that's
• 4:20
  what Brock did for his own. He takes his own beard
• 4:23
  hair, and he puts it under his own pillow. And then every
• 4:26
  night, the beard fairy stops by and gives some
• 4:29
  of yuan under his pillow kiss, and it
• 4:31
  turns out just mister okra.
• 4:36
  That.
• 4:37
  >> Speaker C: That, would have been amazing.
• 4:38
  >> Speaker A: He just reaches under there, and he's like, oh, he's at
• 4:41
  it again. Brock, if you needed
• 4:44
  more money, you could just ask slip.
• 4:47
  The yuan underneath, runs off and
• 4:50
  puts Brock's beard hair in. Mister
• 4:53
  Okaron's beard hair. Jari's collecting?
• 4:55
  >> Speaker C: No, it's just given glow. False hope that.
• 4:58
  >> Speaker A: Oh, it's working.
• 5:01
  Oh, sorry. I should have said the beard
• 5:03
  hair. Fair or spirit? There we go.
• 5:06
  >> Speaker C: The beard hair spews.
• 5:07
  >> Speaker A: They don't have fairies in the avatar last air. But,
• 5:10
  Mikayla, you look like you're ready.
• 5:13
  >> Speaker E: Sure.
• 5:14
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 5:15
  >> Speaker E: I'm Mikayla. I play Micah.
• 5:17
  And Mika's fun fact is
• 5:20
  that she really loves
• 5:23
  flowers.
• 5:24
  >> Speaker A: Oh, okay.
• 5:26
  >> Speaker E: And, she has a goal to see some of the most
• 5:29
  rare flowers in her lifetime. Like, kind of like a
• 5:32
  bucket list.
• 5:32
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:35
  >> Speaker A: She was probably really excited in that cave with all the plants and
• 5:38
  stuff growing there. Yeah. Right on. And a tea shop's a good
• 5:41
  place because I like to think I'm pretty sure. I mean, there's some
• 5:43
  flowers that are used in teas.
• 5:46
  >> Speaker E: Probably not the white lotus flower or something.
• 5:48
  >> Speaker A: Ooh, that sounds fancy. Very cool. Does she grow them
• 5:51
  or just admire them?
• 5:53
  >> Speaker E: Just admires them.
• 5:54
  >> Speaker A: Right on. Right on.
• 5:54
  >> Speaker E: You know, where they naturally grow.
• 5:57
  >> Speaker A: Very cool. Very cool. All right, well, we'll have to integrate some
• 6:00
  flower viewing opportunity, maybe.
• 6:03
  last but not least, got Cameron.
• 6:06
  >> Speaker C: So these facts are supposed to be fun.
• 6:08
  >> Speaker A: they can be more fun. Tell me a different category
• 6:11
  they could fall under.
• 6:12
  >> Speaker C: Mine's kind of dark.
• 6:14
  >> Speaker A: That's fair. yeah, we do that.
• 6:15
  >> Speaker C: So last episode, we talked about spirits, and you
• 6:18
  said Guo and Mika. I've seen a spirit.
• 6:21
  Well, Bill has a frequent.
• 6:24
  He doesn't dream, but rather has
• 6:27
  a nightmare. And it's the same one every
• 6:29
  time. And I, won't say much,
• 6:32
  but the nightmare consists of a trapped spirit,
• 6:35
  and he had these nightmares a lot
• 6:39
  more often when he was at home, and that's played
• 6:41
  a fact and part of the reason he ran away. And ever since he
• 6:44
  ran away, these nightmares have been way less
• 6:47
  frequent. Probably because he's just not around at
• 6:50
  home anymore.
• 6:51
  >> Speaker A: Right.
• 6:52
  >> Speaker C: but they will. Once in
• 6:55
  a blue moon, this same nightmare will show up,
• 6:57
  and Bill will usually
• 7:00
  take a moment before showing back up to everyone just
• 7:03
  because he has to
• 7:06
  compose himself, basically after it.
• 7:08
  >> Speaker A: It kind of helps not being around the things that remind
• 7:11
  you of what, that spirit,
• 7:14
  basically. Yep, exactly. So being away from
• 7:17
  it definitely would ideally minimize it a little
• 7:20
  bit. For sure. So, interesting. Interesting. Well, if, I
• 7:23
  assume if people are interested in learning a little bit more, they
• 7:26
  can check out the prequels. I feel like it's related to that.
• 7:28
  >> Speaker C: It is related to that.
• 7:29
  >> Speaker A: That makes sense. Yeah. So definitely make sure to check out, Bill?
• 7:32
  Well, make sure to check out all the prequel episodes. I know I say
• 7:35
  this every time they get brought up, but I'm really proud with how they
• 7:38
  turned out. I think it was pretty epic. Really cool, like,
• 7:41
  story all kind of, partially
• 7:44
  pre enacted and written while also mixing
• 7:47
  the roleplay. So, anyway, yeah, it's really cool. So definitely go check those out,
• 7:50
  especially if you're curious about what the heck Cameron's, talking
• 7:53
  about. So awesome. All right, jumping
• 7:56
  back in for season three,
• 7:58
  episode five,
• 8:04
  madame M. Yang.
• 8:06
  And before you stands, sure
• 8:09
  enough, the aforementioned madam yang inside
• 8:12
  of this, this chamber where all these
• 8:15
  fancy, air nation relics and so on
• 8:18
  and so forth, this sort of inner sanctum in the back of the
• 8:21
  room, you can see what looks like sort of an open, pretty,
• 8:24
  pretty wide opening in the mountain where,
• 8:27
  some ropes kind of hang from, suggesting that maybe
• 8:30
  they had scaled the walls of this mountain all
• 8:33
  the way up so that they could get inside before the rest
• 8:36
  of you. whatever the case, madam Yang stands there. She's holding
• 8:39
  what seems to be a case, and there's a couple.
• 8:42
  There's like a letter on it, and, you know, with a
• 8:45
  beam line view of it. You can see that it
• 8:47
  has, Brock's name on it.
• 8:50
  suggesting that this is obviously the last or the
• 8:53
  not last clue, but the next clue that Mister Okaran had left
• 8:56
  behind here. it probably even features the case
• 8:59
  itself. Probably features the blissful brew logo. I don't know why I'm kind of beating
• 9:02
  around the bush there, but whatever the case, in addition to
• 9:05
  that, in her hand, she holds what looks like a
• 9:08
  small clay turtle, something that she
• 9:10
  must have grabbed off of one of the pedestals, something that obviously
• 9:13
  has apparently some kind of value. But whatever the
• 9:16
  case, accompanying Madame Yang is four
• 9:19
  hot leaf juice cronies, four of her
• 9:21
  elite operatives that have kind of caused you guys
• 9:24
  issues along some certain
• 9:27
  points. Mostly. Mostly back at the tea party back in season
• 9:30
  one.
• 9:30
  >> Speaker E: Can I use a little
• 9:33
  tiny blast of water, like a
• 9:36
  bb gun pellet? Add the turtle and just break
• 9:39
  it.
• 9:39
  >> Speaker B: You're gonna break the air nation relic that she's
• 9:42
  stealing?
• 9:44
  >> Speaker E: Well, what I would. I know it's an
• 9:47
  air relic nation or just. I'm just mad at it.
• 9:49
  >> Speaker A: I would say that she's picking it up off a pedestal.
• 9:52
  >> Speaker E: Oh, she's not holding it. I thought you said she was holding it.
• 9:54
  >> Speaker A: Oh, well, yeah. I mean, she's picking it up, so it's like, in her
• 9:57
  hand, it's not very big.
• 9:58
  >> Speaker C: I drop her into the ground again.
• 9:59
  >> Speaker A: Well, I mean, you could, She doesn't
• 10:02
  seem super startled by you guys. She kind of gives you a bit of a
• 10:05
  smirk, and she's like, well.
• 10:07
  >> Speaker F: Well, I
• 10:10
  was wondering if I'd managed to get in and out
• 10:13
  without you seeing me,
• 10:16
  but here we are.
• 10:20
  It's been quite some time since I last saw
• 10:23
  you. Or rather, since
• 10:26
  you saw me.
• 10:30
  After all, I've been keeping a
• 10:33
  close eye on the four of you ever since
• 10:35
  the funeral back in gaoling.
• 10:38
  >> Speaker C: That's hot.
• 10:40
  >> Speaker E: Ew.
• 10:41
  >> Speaker C: What?
• 10:42
  >> Speaker A: Disgusting.
• 10:45
  >> Speaker D: What's she doing here?
• 10:47
  >> Speaker A: Guru Topek. What? We've been tricked. We've been
• 10:50
  hoodwinked. He looks just as surprised and he.
• 10:52
  >> Speaker C: Goes, let us try.
• 10:54
  >> Speaker E: I'm gonna run towards her and punch her.
• 10:56
  >> Speaker A: Hold on. Not even wanna see that's my
• 10:59
  thing.
• 11:00
  >> Speaker C: I run blindly into physical
• 11:03
  altercations. That's my thing.
• 11:04
  >> Speaker A: in reference to Guo Han's concern, you all turn to look at
• 11:07
  guru tapiq, and he looks absolutely
• 11:10
  horrified. He says, please, mom. I don't
• 11:13
  know who you are, but the relic in your
• 11:16
  hand is very old and very important.
• 11:19
  Please, I beg you, put it back
• 11:22
  on the pedestal where you found it. And she
• 11:25
  just kind of looks at, and she goes, what?
• 11:28
  >> Speaker F: This whole thing?
• 11:30
  No, I think I'll keep
• 11:33
  it.
• 11:34
  >> Speaker A: And she puts it into her robe. She has, like, a
• 11:37
  pocket.
• 11:38
  >> Speaker E: I really want to punch her.
• 11:39
  >> Speaker A: You really want to punch her?
• 11:40
  >> Speaker C: That's my. I'll run with her.
• 11:43
  >> Speaker A: All right, the two of you guys, tabular.
• 11:45
  >> Speaker E: I'll punch her.
• 11:46
  >> Speaker C: I can't let her nut. But there's also four other guys there,
• 11:49
  too.
• 11:50
  >> Speaker E: I'm still gonna punch her.
• 11:52
  >> Speaker C: I would imagine we're gonna have to go through some of the other guys first, so
• 11:55
  maybe we pump the brakes.
• 11:56
  >> Speaker A: You know, it's a little.
• 11:58
  >> Speaker E: I'm a little in wily. I can.
• 12:01
  >> Speaker C: Let's not be too hasty. You know, it's weird when
• 12:03
  I'm saying that, but it is kind of
• 12:06
  weird.
• 12:07
  >> Speaker E: Brock. You're boring.
• 12:08
  >> Speaker C: I'm boring.
• 12:09
  >> Speaker E: I'm literally full of rage.
• 12:10
  >> Speaker C: I'm just going, you're full of rage?
• 12:13
  >> Speaker A: What's.
• 12:14
  >> Speaker C: You said that was such a giddy voice.
• 12:16
  >> Speaker D: What's the facial hair situation on
• 12:19
  these leaf juice employees?
• 12:21
  >> Speaker A: they were like, masks, so you can't even see their face.
• 12:23
  >> Speaker C: Not a fair fight. They look like they can fight.
• 12:26
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, they all take stances.
• 12:30
  >> Speaker D: I bet they got some beards under those masks,
• 12:34
  but, you know, it's a pretty rock.
• 12:36
  >> Speaker C: They don't have. They don't have a captain. Yeah, they don't have a
• 12:39
  hat. They don't got a cat.
• 12:41
  >> Speaker A: That's right, Brock.
• 12:43
  >> Speaker C: Exact.
• 12:44
  >> Speaker A: Captain.
• 12:45
  >> Speaker D: Captain's gotta be brave. Captain's gotta
• 12:48
  lead the charge.
• 12:49
  >> Speaker A: That's right. Yes.
• 12:50
  >> Speaker C: That's right. We're all going in. Right?
• 12:52
  >> Speaker A: I've got your back.
• 12:54
  >> Speaker D: Walking towards him, strutting, puffing
• 12:57
  out my whole chest.
• 12:59
  >> Speaker C: Bill's gonna walk behind you, and he's gonna whisper, do we
• 13:02
  start snapping again like last time?
• 13:04
  >> Speaker A: That was pretty effective, all things
• 13:07
  considered. All right, so I,
• 13:09
  Zamika just sprinted ahead. I was
• 13:12
  gonna say, so it sounds like everybody's moving in. It's just
• 13:15
  a matter of, like, well, Mika and
• 13:18
  Brock.
• 13:19
  >> Speaker C: I think whoa's strutting, and
• 13:22
  Bill's strutting alongside. So he's doing like, the Conor
• 13:25
  McGregor, like, with the arms,
• 13:29
  I'm more like, yeah, guo
• 13:31
  definitely not prepped for this situation, so
• 13:34
  Bill's gonna protect him and be
• 13:37
  like, ah, ah, you did it yourself.
• 13:40
  >> Speaker A: Whatever the case, this sounds like a combat experience, so
• 13:43
  that's what we're gonna jump into. So get your. Your little cards
• 13:46
  ready. look at your moves and so on and so
• 13:49
  forth. so you guys are gonna pick out the
• 13:52
  approaches. There we go. Yes, pick out
• 13:54
  your approach.
• 13:57
  >> Speaker E: Well, one of mine. Just fall under. Advance and attack.
• 13:59
  >> Speaker C: Okay, I will. Even though I'm sprinting, I will evade
• 14:02
  and observe.
• 14:03
  >> Speaker A: All right, is anyone taking defend and
• 14:06
  maneuver?
• 14:06
  >> Speaker C: I am taking defend, and you are taking defendant maneuver. I
• 14:09
  am also taking defendant maneuver.
• 14:11
  >> Speaker A: Okay, I'll let you guys go first.
• 14:14
  So you guys are going to be rolling with focus.
• 14:16
  >> Speaker C: I will assess the situation for the
• 14:19
  punch. Where it matters.
• 14:22
  Is that defendant maneuver, is that.
• 14:24
  >> Speaker A: Like, one of your special moves?
• 14:25
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, it's one of my special moves, yeah.
• 14:27
  >> Speaker A: Then, yes.
• 14:27
  >> Speaker C: When you assess the situation, you can always ask who or what here is most
• 14:30
  vulnerable to me, even on a mission. remember to take
• 14:33
  plus one ongoing to act in
• 14:36
  accordance with the answer.
• 14:38
  >> Speaker A: It technically isn't a combat move, but you
• 14:41
  don't have to be in combat. Like, you can
• 14:44
  interchange between the basic
• 14:47
  moves and the combat moves. But whatever the case. Yeah, you're rolling. Assess the
• 14:50
  situation well, yeah.
• 14:53
  Ooh.
• 14:53
  >> Speaker C: 1111.
• 14:54
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so what does that do for that particular ability?
• 14:57
  Not the assess the situation, the punch, where it
• 15:00
  matters, or whatever the case.
• 15:02
  >> Speaker C: I can always ask who or what here is
• 15:05
  most vulnerable to me. So on any
• 15:08
  turn after this, I can ask who or what's
• 15:11
  most vulnerable, and then if I act on
• 15:14
  that, I get a plus one to my role.
• 15:17
  >> Speaker A: Okay. Awesome.
• 15:19
  >> Speaker C: So I guess it doesn't count as,
• 15:22
  like, a move, right?
• 15:24
  >> Speaker A: But since. So it tells you to do assess a situation,
• 15:28
  right, like, that's part of the ability. So
• 15:31
  you got an eleven.
• 15:31
  >> Speaker B: So you actually asked two.
• 15:32
  >> Speaker A: So one of those questions can be the one that comes
• 15:35
  with your ability, and then you also have the other
• 15:38
  questions on assess a situation. So you could ask one of those
• 15:41
  as well.
• 15:42
  >> Speaker C: Okay, so I already know
• 15:45
  who or I know that's gonna be a given.
• 15:48
  >> Speaker A: Yeah.
• 15:49
  >> Speaker C: okay, I'll ask who is the biggest. Well, I guess if I ask the biggest
• 15:52
  threat, it might be Madame Yang. So who
• 15:54
  amongst the
• 15:57
  grunts, okay. Is the biggest
• 16:01
  threat?
• 16:01
  >> Speaker A: Oh, man. I mean, they all seem pretty
• 16:04
  equally geared
• 16:07
  up.
• 16:08
  >> Speaker C: do any of them have weapons, or are they bear?
• 16:10
  >> Speaker A: Oh, yeah, let's say they all
• 16:13
  have, man, I was trying to think of, like, a really
• 16:15
  intimidating tea making utensil
• 16:19
  that they would have as weapons. Like, that's what they have equipped with
• 16:22
  them, but I think they would water, I think. Yeah,
• 16:24
  that's true. I think they all have, like, climbing
• 16:27
  stakes in their hands.
• 16:30
  And so those are kind of sharp. But, you notice that
• 16:33
  they also seem to probably all be vendors
• 16:36
  of some kind. I would actually probably argue
• 16:39
  that they are all earthbenders. they all kind of take
• 16:42
  a stance. And you, especially as an earthbender, you
• 16:45
  can recognize earthbending stances when you
• 16:48
  see them. and they all take a stance that you recognize.
• 16:52
  And then what was the question that comes with your ability? It was like something
• 16:55
  about weaknesses.
• 16:58
  >> Speaker C: Who or what is most vulnerable to me?
• 17:01
  >> Speaker A: Okay. Okay. let's see here.
• 17:04
  >> Speaker C: They're all sort of equally.
• 17:06
  Equally yoked, right?
• 17:08
  >> Speaker A: Right.
• 17:09
  >> Speaker E: Who's the pretty lady? He can.
• 17:12
  >> Speaker A: Well, I was gonna say you can obviously turn around and
• 17:15
  start attacking your friends. They would all be obviously
• 17:18
  unexpected to that idea. But, no, more
• 17:21
  importantly, madam Yang has, has both of her hands full
• 17:24
  right now. Well, I guess she did put the turtle in one of them, but
• 17:27
  otherwise, you know, she doesn't have anything. No weapons or
• 17:30
  anything like that. Like that. So, in theory, she's
• 17:32
  weakest. If you were to say, I
• 17:35
  would charge her right
• 17:38
  now. Technically, you'd have to get past the people.
• 17:41
  So maybe she's not quite like the weak linked
• 17:44
  person.
• 17:44
  >> Speaker E: Let me see if I get my punch in.
• 17:46
  >> Speaker C: You gotta get through the grunts first.
• 17:48
  >> Speaker E: I'm small and wily.
• 17:50
  >> Speaker A: I'm gonna say that one of them seems to have what looks
• 17:53
  like maybe a little bit of a limp. He takes a stance, and
• 17:56
  his, his leg looks a little weak.
• 18:00
  So I'm gonna, I'm gonna give that. That's, you know, I'm supposed to use your
• 18:03
  guys's abilities and moves to help me develop the story,
• 18:06
  so that's how I'm gonna do it. Okay, so one of them, seems a little
• 18:09
  bit. Maybe he's injured himself on the way here, or
• 18:12
  herself. It's really kind of hard to tell when they're wearing masks and everything.
• 18:15
  >> Speaker E: Madam Yang probably kicked her.
• 18:17
  >> Speaker A: Oh, geez. I mean, that's entirely
• 18:20
  possible. She is rude. She is rude. That's true.
• 18:23
  >> Speaker E: She doesn't care about her staff.
• 18:24
  >> Speaker A: Yeah.
• 18:25
  >> Speaker D: Hot leaf juice doesn't have any short term disability.
• 18:29
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so, I'm gonna say that. So that was your,
• 18:32
  your combat attempt. And then, Bill, you're also taking defendant maneuver.
• 18:35
  What are you doing? I mean, I guess you're divert.
• 18:38
  Divert? Okay, tell me about divert. That must be one of your
• 18:41
  moves.
• 18:41
  >> Speaker C: Just if one of my allies is about to get attacked, I jump
• 18:44
  in their way.
• 18:45
  >> Speaker A: Oh, okay.
• 18:46
  >> Speaker C: Defend them and also take the damage itself and then
• 18:49
  retaliate.
• 18:50
  >> Speaker A: Nice. Okay, very cool. so that's kind of at the. Well, did you
• 18:52
  roll for that? Yeah, I just did.
• 18:54
  >> Speaker C: 1313.
• 18:55
  >> Speaker A: Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. so
• 18:57
  actually, as I'm trying to remember on a ten
• 19:00
  plus, you choose one for the list. that's one of your
• 19:03
  practiced techniques. So, yeah, you're good to
• 19:05
  go. Learn.
• 19:06
  >> Speaker C: Practice handmastered.
• 19:08
  >> Speaker A: Oh, nice, nice. Okay, so, yeah, you're good to
• 19:11
  go to easily do that. So, okay, so you take
• 19:14
  that stance up, ready to go. Oh,
• 19:17
  okay. Oh, you have to pick somebody.
• 19:18
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, I pick an ally to defend.
• 19:20
  >> Speaker A: All right.
• 19:21
  >> Speaker C: If they don't get attacked, then I just spend the
• 19:23
  turn doing nothing.
• 19:25
  >> Speaker A: Well, yeah, yeah, no, that's fair. okay,
• 19:28
  so you prepare. You kind of, like, step towards guo side.
• 19:31
  Ready?
• 19:32
  >> Speaker C: Like I said, I'm following him.
• 19:33
  >> Speaker A: And.
• 19:33
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, snap and stride.
• 19:37
  >> Speaker A: You've got your staff at the ready in one hand, you're snapping on the other
• 19:40
  hand. Awesome. okay, madame Yang is also taking
• 19:42
  defend and maneuver. She technically
• 19:45
  takes, a couple of different moves, all things
• 19:48
  considered. she shouts out.
• 19:50
  >> Speaker F: She says, it seems you have no
• 19:53
  wish to hear the tales of how
• 19:56
  I followed and stalked your
• 19:59
  every move ever since
• 20:02
  leaving gowling up
• 20:05
  until this point.
• 20:07
  >> Speaker C: Well, what if we get her monologuing?
• 20:10
  >> Speaker A: I added monologue.
• 20:13
  >> Speaker F: Maybe you can stop by, my
• 20:16
  up and coming hot leaf
• 20:19
  juice gowling shop
• 20:22
  once we're open, and I'll,
• 20:24
  dish all the details.
• 20:27
  >> Speaker A: She's using defendant maneuver. She's using seize position.
• 20:29
  Position. And she bolts for
• 20:32
  the opening, grabs one of the ropes and
• 20:35
  hops out the door.
• 20:37
  >> Speaker E: Excuse me?
• 20:38
  >> Speaker A: Or the window or whatever you want to call it.
• 20:42
  >> Speaker E: Absolutely not.
• 20:43
  >> Speaker A: You, see, guru Topek, he was
• 20:46
  probably going to also defend a maneuver.
• 20:49
  he was going to do something to
• 20:52
  protect you guys, but as soon as he sees her fly.
• 20:55
  Fly or jump out the proverbial
• 20:57
  window, with one of the rare air nation
• 21:00
  artifacts that obviously has some sort of importance to him, he
• 21:03
  also goes running and leaps out the
• 21:05
  window, leaving you guys here with
• 21:08
  just the hot leaf juice employees.
• 21:10
  >> Speaker C: Why did she even come on this trip?
• 21:13
  >> Speaker E: I was running.
• 21:13
  >> Speaker A: She was here to get something, obviously.
• 21:17
  >> Speaker E: Yes.
• 21:18
  >> Speaker A: and then that takes me to a advance and attack. And Mika, you took
• 21:21
  it. did Gohan also take it.
• 21:23
  No. Okay. You're doing a bit of it. Okay. Mika, what are
• 21:26
  you doing with your advance and attack? Or actually, you roll with passion
• 21:29
  first, and then you can tell me what you're doing, because we have to
• 21:32
  find out whether or not you get to do anything.
• 21:35
  >> Speaker E: Apparently not, because. Madme, just
• 21:38
  do it out of here.
• 21:39
  >> Speaker C: I got a plan eight.
• 21:42
  >> Speaker A: Okay, perfect. So you can use one basic or master
• 21:45
  technique.
• 21:45
  >> Speaker C: I'm excited for this idea, or
• 21:48
  she's.
• 21:49
  >> Speaker A: Not gonna get far.
• 21:49
  >> Speaker C: I got an idea. I've got an
• 21:52
  idea. I may not have a plan, gentlemen.
• 21:55
  >> Speaker E: Well, I was gonna strike, but
• 21:58
  since I can't strike, I may not have a smash.
• 22:00
  >> Speaker C: You can strike.
• 22:01
  >> Speaker E: Well, why can't you strike?
• 22:02
  >> Speaker C: I may not have a brain.
• 22:03
  >> Speaker A: Oh, well, you can strike one of.
• 22:05
  >> Speaker E: The others, so I'm gonna smash something.
• 22:08
  >> Speaker A: Okay, you're just upset. Freaking
• 22:11
  balls. Okay, wait.
• 22:13
  >> Speaker E: I don't want to smash something.
• 22:15
  >> Speaker A: Okay, never mind. She does not want to smash everybody.
• 22:18
  >> Speaker E: Hold on a second.
• 22:19
  >> Speaker A: She's too fatigued. She's too
• 22:22
  tired.
• 22:22
  >> Speaker E: All of my things are.
• 22:26
  >> Speaker A: Well, you can strike instead.
• 22:29
  >> Speaker C: Just punch one of the guys, teach him a
• 22:32
  lesson.
• 22:33
  >> Speaker E: I'm gonna smash something. I don't care.
• 22:37
  >> Speaker A: Okay, tell me what you are doing.
• 22:40
  >> Speaker E: I am gonna use
• 22:43
  the, one of the empty pedestals.
• 22:46
  Yeah, I'm just gonna shove it
• 22:49
  towards somebody or something.
• 22:50
  >> Speaker A: Wow, Mika's using physical force.
• 22:54
  Okay, sounds good. You shove
• 22:56
  a. I'm a teenage girl.
• 22:58
  >> Speaker E: You know, I have a lot of emotion right now.
• 23:00
  >> Speaker A: Okay, totally fair, I think.
• 23:03
  awesome. So you grab one of these pedestals that's sitting in the
• 23:06
  room, and you just hurl it at one of the
• 23:09
  hot, leaf juice employees. Maybe probably one of them closest to the window,
• 23:12
  as if you were trying to, like, hurl it out the window after Madam Yang, whatever the
• 23:15
  case, it slams into this hot leaf juice employee,
• 23:18
  and they are now impaired. They've been
• 23:21
  hit with this giant rock kind of unexpectedly, so
• 23:24
  I'm going to mark them on that. Whoa,
• 23:27
  you're taking the. Oh, actually, no, sorry. They're all
• 23:30
  doing advancement attack. I forgot
• 23:33
  about that. Awesome. So they're going to do, two
• 23:36
  moves, so they attend to commands. they get
• 23:38
  a additional fatigue on all
• 23:41
  attacks made next exchange. So not this
• 23:44
  exchange currently, but, they're all essentially inspired
• 23:47
  by, madam Yanks words, which was to stop them at any
• 23:50
  cost. I don't know if I said that.
• 23:51
  >> Speaker E: I don't think you did.
• 23:52
  >> Speaker A: Okay, well, that was for.
• 23:54
  >> Speaker C: So I guess that's not really their objective.
• 23:56
  >> Speaker A: Now, whatever the case, that's their primary
• 23:59
  one. Otherwise, they're going to three of them that are. Well, actually,
• 24:02
  the one that's impaired will also. No, the one that's impaired doesn't
• 24:05
  do it. I'm gonna say he's, he's unable to as he
• 24:08
  picks himself up from the
• 24:10
  pedestal that was thrown at him. But whatever the case, the other
• 24:13
  three go to attack. one of them swings a
• 24:16
  punch at Brock. Brock, you
• 24:19
  have an option here. You can either mark to fatigue,
• 24:22
  a condition, or shift your balance away from
• 24:25
  center. Your choice.
• 24:29
  >> Speaker C: I can't try and just block it? No,
• 24:32
  to fatigue.
• 24:34
  >> Speaker A: Mark a condition or shift your balance away from
• 24:37
  center.
• 24:38
  >> Speaker C: well, let's see if I shift, bounce away from center. I'm at force
• 24:41
  plus three.
• 24:42
  >> Speaker A: Ooh. Getting on this edge there.
• 24:44
  >> Speaker C: And that's right where I want to live.
• 24:46
  >> Speaker A: I'm going on these. Oh, my gosh. He's going towards the
• 24:49
  edge.
• 24:50
  >> Speaker C: Balance is now force plus three.
• 24:52
  >> Speaker A: Holy cow. All right, sounds good. one of
• 24:55
  them strikes at Guo, which is therefore
• 24:58
  blocked by,
• 25:01
  Bill. So what happens in that situation,
• 25:03
  Bill?
• 25:05
  >> Speaker C: I, take a fatigue.
• 25:06
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 25:07
  >> Speaker C: Then I return whatever damage they. We're gonna
• 25:10
  do back at them.
• 25:12
  >> Speaker A: Nice. Okay. So they would do two
• 25:15
  fatigues. You are dealing fatigue back
• 25:18
  at them. Yeah. Fantastic. Awesome. So
• 25:21
  describe to me what happens. This guy comes over. I'm
• 25:24
  gonna say that he, like, jams his fist into the ground
• 25:27
  as he's walking. He kind of, like, leans over and just kind of
• 25:30
  scrapes his hand against the ground. And as mentioned before, I would
• 25:33
  argue that they are all earth. I say I argue. I don't think I make it
• 25:36
  the story here. They're all earthbenders. So he, like,
• 25:38
  scoops up stone as he goes, and he
• 25:41
  forms it into, like, a stone fist and goes to
• 25:44
  lunge towards. Whoa. You quickly step
• 25:46
  out to deal with this. How are you doing that? Like, what's,
• 25:49
  what's. Gimme this. The visual.
• 25:53
  >> Speaker C: I like to imagine that as he, like, is raising
• 25:56
  his hand to, like, hulk smash.
• 25:58
  >> Speaker A: Nice.
• 25:58
  >> Speaker C: Wohan. Bill just kind of steps in. He,
• 26:01
  like, slides in mid snow.
• 26:03
  >> Speaker A: Yeah.
• 26:04
  >> Speaker C: And he, like, redirects his, his bo staff
• 26:06
  right to, like, alongside his wrist as he's
• 26:09
  swinging. And he redirects it so it goes straight down.
• 26:12
  >> Speaker A: Oh, cool.
• 26:12
  >> Speaker C: So that basically throw his body straight
• 26:15
  down. He just lands, smashing into the ground. He slams into
• 26:18
  the face first. Yeah.
• 26:19
  >> Speaker A: Awesome. I love it. And he just, you just see his kind of head kind
• 26:22
  of bounce a little bit as it hits the ground. Yeah.
• 26:24
  >> Speaker C: and then Bill snaps again, very
• 26:27
  intimidatingly, right in his face.
• 26:29
  >> Speaker A: All right, the last one, sees Micah hurl
• 26:32
  that. That column over at the other buddy
• 26:35
  and runs.
• 26:35
  >> Speaker E: He's very scared.
• 26:37
  >> Speaker A: He's a little scared.
• 26:39
  >> Speaker C: His knees are buckling, and he thinks.
• 26:41
  >> Speaker A: Wow, she's obviously the strongest person of this
• 26:43
  group. I need to take her down. So he, too,
• 26:46
  rushes forward, and he does, like, a spin
• 26:49
  kick and kicks a stone at you.
• 26:52
  just as I mentioned before to Brock, you need
• 26:55
  to take either to fatigue, mark a condition, or
• 26:58
  shift your balance away from center.
• 27:02
  Which would you prefer?
• 27:05
  >> Speaker E: definitely not the fatigue.
• 27:07
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 27:11
  >> Speaker E: I'll shift it away from center.
• 27:13
  >> Speaker A: Oh, all right. More towards survival.
• 27:15
  >> Speaker E: Yep.
• 27:16
  >> Speaker A: Deeper she goes into survival. you block
• 27:19
  this chunk of my.
• 27:19
  >> Speaker E: Friends, try to stay. Stop me from going to punch Madame Yang, you
• 27:22
  know?
• 27:23
  >> Speaker A: Mm Yeah, that's fair.
• 27:24
  >> Speaker E: I don't want to lean towards them.
• 27:25
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. All right, sounds good.
• 27:27
  >> Speaker C: I got Madam Yang for you. I got it.
• 27:29
  >> Speaker A: Okay. You managed to block this chunk of rock,
• 27:32
  but your survival instinct, this desire
• 27:35
  to just kind of block out your friends, you sort of
• 27:38
  horse blind. You don't even see your friends kind of in the
• 27:41
  background.
• 27:41
  >> Speaker E: I'm rage blind.
• 27:42
  >> Speaker A: Rage? Yes. You're furious. You're focused as
• 27:45
  you angrily stalk towards this enemy that just hurled
• 27:48
  a rock at you.
• 27:50
  >> Speaker C: Whoa.
• 27:50
  >> Speaker A: You are evading and observing. What are you doing? Or actually roll
• 27:53
  with? Oh. You clear one fatigue, and then you roll
• 27:56
  with creativity or harmony.
• 27:58
  >> Speaker D: All right, I'm going to do a
• 28:01
  fighting technique called eat dirt. And so
• 28:04
  the guy who just was attacking
• 28:07
  Micah, I'm going to
• 28:10
  lift up a small segment of dirt at his
• 28:12
  feet and push his ankle out so
• 28:15
  he, trips him up.
• 28:17
  >> Speaker A: Nice. Okay, so roll with either creativity
• 28:19
  or harmony. It's up to you. And if you have a
• 28:22
  fatigue, you can clear a fatigue. That's kind of another
• 28:25
  one of the added benefits of vade.
• 28:27
  >> Speaker C: And observe.
• 28:28
  >> Speaker A: Create.
• 28:32
  >> Speaker D: that's a seven.
• 28:33
  >> Speaker A: Seven. Okay, so, yeah, you still get to do either a
• 28:36
  basic or master technique, which this would fall under that.
• 28:39
  Okay, so you slide this little bit of rock
• 28:42
  out from under this guy that's attacking your friend Mika.
• 28:45
  What does it do?
• 28:45
  >> Speaker D: Again, your target is impaired and unable to
• 28:48
  choose. Defend and maneuver in the next exchange.
• 28:51
  >> Speaker A: Okay. All right, sounds good. So you slide this
• 28:54
  chunk of rock out from under his foot, causing him to kind of stumble a little
• 28:57
  bit. And he is now impaired. He maybe, like, twisted his ankle a little
• 29:00
  bit. you know how, like, when you step wrong and it
• 29:03
  kind of, like, twists your foot as you come down. It kind of does that
• 29:06
  now. He's kind of sore. Whatever. the case, he cannot take
• 29:09
  defend and maneuver next turn. And he also
• 29:12
  has a minus two to all physical actions.
• 29:15
  And so that's moving. That's, that's where we got there. So we're
• 29:18
  moving into the next round of the exchange. So everybody pick a
• 29:21
  move that you would like to do,
• 29:23
  or an approach, rather.
• 29:25
  >> Speaker C: I will advance an attack.
• 29:26
  >> Speaker A: Is anyone taking defend and maneuver, since that's the first?
• 29:29
  >> Speaker C: I am. You're taking.
• 29:30
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 29:31
  >> Speaker E: No.
• 29:31
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. All right.
• 29:34
  So, Bill, what are you doing
• 29:37
  with defendant maneuver? Or actually, rather roll of focus. And then. Then you
• 29:40
  do it. Sorry, I always forget that.
• 29:42
  >> Speaker C: I'll roll 14.
• 29:45
  >> Speaker A: Holy cow.
• 29:47
  >> Speaker C: so I figured I stepped in front of Gohan when
• 29:50
  I defended him the last turn. So now I'm just walking forward
• 29:53
  over this dude.
• 29:54
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 29:55
  >> Speaker C: And if another guy comes to, like, defend him as I'm standing
• 29:57
  above him, I'm ready to retaliate.
• 30:00
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good. And you actually, if you're doing basic
• 30:03
  moves, you can actually take two since you rolled a 14.
• 30:06
  >> Speaker C: Oh, I can take a second one?
• 30:07
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. So you can retaliate, and you can also do one
• 30:10
  of the other two.
• 30:11
  >> Speaker C: Oh, okay. Then I'll seize a position. Okay. As my second
• 30:14
  one, since I can't. And the position I'm seizing, it
• 30:17
  says, I can see establish an advantage position.
• 30:20
  Basically, the advantage position would be
• 30:23
  over the guy I'm above.
• 30:24
  >> Speaker A: The guy that you just knocked over? Yeah.
• 30:26
  >> Speaker C: So I'm standing above him. So I have an advantage against him.
• 30:29
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 30:30
  >> Speaker C: Probably not anyone else, but I have an advantage where, like, he's
• 30:32
  underneath me, and I have my bo staff above him. And, like, if he tries
• 30:35
  to attack me, like.
• 30:36
  >> Speaker A: Oh, okay. I was gonna say.
• 30:38
  >> Speaker C: So he has to take in a fatigue if he was to attack me,
• 30:41
  basically.
• 30:41
  >> Speaker A: Oh, okay.
• 30:43
  >> Speaker C: On top of whatever he does.
• 30:45
  >> Speaker A: Oh, it says, any foe engaged, you can
• 30:48
  mark one fatigue to block this technique. I would say he doesn't.
• 30:51
  >> Speaker C: Yeah.
• 30:51
  >> Speaker A: but whatever the case, so it says, engage, disengage with a
• 30:54
  foe overcoming negative status. Effect
• 30:56
  established. Okay, so, yeah. Okay, so in order
• 30:59
  to attack you, because you kind of have an advantage,
• 31:02
  this is the guy that's on the ground. You basically, like, step on
• 31:05
  him. You're like him on the ground. If he wants to
• 31:08
  do anything, he's gonna exist, have to exert himself a
• 31:11
  little extra in order to, do any kind of attack against
• 31:14
  you.
• 31:14
  >> Speaker C: Okay, awesome.
• 31:15
  >> Speaker A: I like it. And then otherwise, you are retracted.
• 31:17
  >> Speaker C: Retaliating anyone else attacks me.
• 31:19
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Yes. Perfect. Okay, sounds good.
• 31:32

• 32:14
  >> Speaker A: Whoa. You're doing an advance or, sorry, defended maneuver?
• 32:17
  >> Speaker D: Yep.
• 32:17
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so roll with focus. And then based on that,
• 32:20
  you tell me what you are up, to eight. Eight.
• 32:23
  Okay, sounds good. So you can either use a basic or
• 32:26
  master technique.
• 32:28
  >> Speaker D: I'm going to use master, technique, pinpoint
• 32:31
  aim.
• 32:31
  >> Speaker C: So take time then.
• 32:33
  >> Speaker D: Take the time you need to line up a perfect shot.
• 32:35
  Become prepared in the next exchange.
• 32:38
  If you have. If you advance an attack,
• 32:41
  yada, yada.
• 32:42
  >> Speaker A: yeah, yeah. Awesome. So you are now prepared.
• 32:45
  You, is there someone in particular that you are lining up a shot
• 32:48
  with?
• 32:48
  >> Speaker D: So Madame Yang has kind of exited the scene?
• 32:51
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, a little bit, or at least she's flown.
• 32:53
  >> Speaker C: The way I keep my eye out.
• 32:55
  >> Speaker D: For her to come back in case Brock flushes her
• 32:58
  out.
• 32:58
  >> Speaker C: Sorry, not if I have anything to say about it.
• 33:01
  >> Speaker A: And I'd say that, you know, you kind of take a step back to kind
• 33:03
  of observe the scene in front of you and prep your
• 33:06
  attack. So I'm not gonna say that, like, you have to necessarily
• 33:09
  pinpoint on one specific person. if it comes
• 33:12
  back around to the next exchange, you can kind of alter
• 33:15
  that. It's not like Hunter's mark and D and D, right?
• 33:18
  >> Speaker D: I get a. So I reach into my pouch and pull
• 33:21
  out a small rock.
• 33:22
  >> Speaker C: Nice.
• 33:23
  >> Speaker D: Kind of get that ready in my hand
• 33:25
  to fling out the classic
• 33:28
  guo's pouch of pebbles.
• 33:30
  >> Speaker C: Yes.
• 33:31
  >> Speaker A: Awesome. All right. Jumping over to advance and
• 33:33
  attack. Who is taking advance and attack?
• 33:36
  >> Speaker C: I am taking advance and attack.
• 33:38
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 33:39
  >> Speaker C: All right, so first, can you describe the scene
• 33:41
  in front of me all the way to those ropes that are
• 33:44
  hanging from. From my point of view
• 33:47
  to them ropes. What is the scene looking like?
• 33:50
  >> Speaker A: All right, sounds good. So in total, in this room, there
• 33:52
  are five different little pedestals
• 33:55
  each with a. Well, three of
• 33:58
  them with a relic of some kind on
• 34:01
  them, some sort of air nation relic. One of them was the
• 34:04
  one that Mika threw at one of the other, hot leaf
• 34:06
  juice employees, which is across the
• 34:09
  room, closest by the window. he's kind of picking himself
• 34:12
  up. He's pushing this, pedestal or whatever off he could
• 34:15
  just. You watched. She just, like, picked it up and threw it
• 34:18
  at him. I'm sure there's a little bit of pride rising up
• 34:21
  in your heart as you. As you saw this.
• 34:23
  >> Speaker C: That's my dishwasher.
• 34:24
  >> Speaker A: That's my dishwasher. Aka, that's
• 34:27
  my fake wife.
• 34:28
  >> Speaker C: That's my sister wife.
• 34:30
  >> Speaker A: Whoa. This is kind of weird.
• 34:33
  >> Speaker C: I mean, if we're going off of last episode
• 34:36
  or two episodes ago, I.
• 34:37
  >> Speaker E: Did say I was his sister.
• 34:39
  >> Speaker A: His sister and my wife.
• 34:42
  >> Speaker C: My wife.
• 34:43
  >> Speaker A: There's an empty, pedestal that's, like, kind of directly in
• 34:46
  front of you. That was the one that, madam Yang had taken.
• 34:49
  Whatever Mister Okaran had left behind for you guys came off of that
• 34:52
  pedestal. obviously, she took the turtle one as well, but that was on
• 34:55
  the one that Mika threw. Moving on. There is one
• 34:58
  hot leaf juice employee that is currently being stood
• 35:01
  on by Bill. he is standing next
• 35:03
  to Guo and is confronting another one. And then
• 35:06
  the third one that's not kind of picking himself up off the ground
• 35:09
  is the one that's directly challenging Mika.
• 35:12
  Gotcha.
• 35:13
  >> Speaker C: And, what's the rope situation
• 35:16
  looking like that Madame Yang escaped on?
• 35:18
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. there are
• 35:21
  two ropes that are hanging out of this sort
• 35:24
  of open gap in the mountain's
• 35:27
  wall, and so you can just. I mean, it's like, just
• 35:30
  outside, right? Like, open air outside
• 35:33
  of it.
• 35:33
  >> Speaker C: Okay.
• 35:34
  >> Speaker A: And you can see, obviously, that one of them is kind of taught that's the one
• 35:36
  that she grabbed onto. And it's like.
• 35:41
  >> Speaker C: I may not have a plan, gents, but I've got an
• 35:43
  idea. Okay, my
• 35:46
  plan. I would like to
• 35:48
  invoke Brock's ability to Bugs
• 35:51
  Bunny. So I, In
• 35:54
  my head, this is the plan.
• 35:57
  Brock runs,
• 36:00
  dives into the ground like bugs Bunny
• 36:02
  under all the action
• 36:05
  towards where Madame Yang escapes.
• 36:07
  >> Speaker A: Okay, hoping that you can, like, burst out.
• 36:10
  >> Speaker C: Hoping that I can. Well, I'm gonna pop up at the
• 36:12
  ropes, to which
• 36:15
  I then plan to either
• 36:18
  hoist or, like, I either want
• 36:21
  to cut the rope that Yang is on just to send her to her
• 36:24
  death, depending on how high.
• 36:27
  >> Speaker A: Oh, so you're not even planning on going under and popping out of the mountain.
• 36:30
  You're just trying to get under the enemies currently
• 36:33
  and then try to get to the rope.
• 36:34
  >> Speaker C: Trying to get to the rope.
• 36:35
  >> Speaker A: Because then I was like, man, you're asking a little bit much, but
• 36:38
  that's.
• 36:38
  >> Speaker C: A lot more reasonable to get to the ropes because then I plan
• 36:41
  to, depending on if she's far enough
• 36:44
  down.
• 36:45
  >> Speaker C: I can try and just jump down, confront
• 36:48
  her or try and pull her up.
• 36:50
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 36:50
  >> Speaker C: Because I feel like she's a frail old woman. I feel it. And Brock's a
• 36:53
  little, she's like middle aged.
• 36:54
  >> Speaker A: She's about, you gotta keep in mind, her and Okaran like went
• 36:57
  to school together.
• 36:58
  >> Speaker E: She's probably within your age limit.
• 37:00
  >> Speaker C: Oh yeah, she's in my ballpark. To all the older ladies,
• 37:03
  she's in my ballpark. But I'm just thinking like, would
• 37:05
  Brock be able to realistically
• 37:08
  pull her back up? Or if she's high enough
• 37:11
  off the ground, I can cut the rope, right, and then
• 37:14
  send her plummeting to her inevitable
• 37:16
  death. Or I can jump down and try and confront her.
• 37:19
  But I plan to just at this point, bugs bunny
• 37:22
  my way to the ropes, right.
• 37:25
  And do that.
• 37:26
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so you can absolutely do that. But
• 37:29
  I, I will say I think this falls under seize
• 37:32
  a position. Okay, which would be a defendant maneuver, which is fine,
• 37:35
  we can do that.
• 37:36
  >> Speaker C: So I will seize a position.
• 37:37
  >> Speaker A: Yes. So you are rolling with focus in order to do
• 37:40
  a defended maneuver.
• 37:42
  >> Speaker C: Yikes.
• 37:43
  >> Speaker A: That's.
• 37:43
  >> Speaker C: Well, with my plus, it's a seven.
• 37:46
  >> Speaker A: Hey, that's still a basic move. You can still do a basic move with
• 37:48
  that. All right, so you leap
• 37:51
  into the air and comically dive into the
• 37:54
  dirt and stone below you and you begin to
• 37:57
  tunnel over, popping out over by
• 38:00
  the sort of window opening of this
• 38:03
  chamber. And you take a peek outside
• 38:05
  and you can see, in fact, madame ying sort of just
• 38:08
  like free. What do they call that? Free fall.
• 38:11
  I mean basically free falling. Falling.
• 38:13
  >> Speaker C: Free scaling.
• 38:14
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, free scaling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, free scaling. down the
• 38:17
  mountain, kind of holding the rope as she kind
• 38:19
  of just drops down. She's about, let's say halfway.
• 38:22
  You see guru tapik, he's on an air
• 38:25
  glider. he's kind of soaring after her.
• 38:28
  Pretty, pretty straight down. he's not far behind her.
• 38:31
  >> Speaker C: How? Approx. How long is this
• 38:33
  road?
• 38:34
  >> Speaker A: it is long enough to reach all the way down to where you can see
• 38:37
  a pathway that kind of like must curve
• 38:40
  around the mountain. so it's maybe, let's
• 38:43
  say 200ft.
• 38:44
  >> Speaker C: Okay.
• 38:45
  >> Speaker A: And there's a cart sitting down there with a hot leaf juice
• 38:48
  logo on it. And it's tethered to a couple of,
• 38:51
  ostrich horses. Oh, you don't say. Yeah, she had a
• 38:54
  prepared escape. There's also a hot leaf juice employee in
• 38:57
  there who's like, like the driver.
• 39:00
  >> Speaker C: You don't say.
• 39:01
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, well, I've got stuff to think about. All right,
• 39:04
  sounds good. Well, that's perfect. Okay.
• 39:05
  >> Speaker C: How far down is she?
• 39:06
  >> Speaker A: She's about 100ft. Yeah.
• 39:08
  >> Speaker C: So she's halfway.
• 39:10
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. obviously, all the hot leaf
• 39:12
  juice employees are continuing their advance
• 39:15
  and attack. They're each going to
• 39:18
  strike as best as they can, to try to
• 39:21
  hurt all of you, essentially. let's start
• 39:24
  with, the one under bill, who's gonna have to
• 39:27
  mark a fatigue in order to,
• 39:30
  get up at all. Okay.
• 39:33
  So the wonder to Bill, he sort of struggles and
• 39:36
  manages to roll out from under your foot. He takes a
• 39:38
  fatigue from the exhaustion of doing so. And then he
• 39:41
  hops up and he just takes a couple of like basic
• 39:44
  punch strikes at Bill. so
• 39:47
  you choose either to fatigue mark a condition or
• 39:50
  shift your balance weight from center.
• 39:52
  >> Speaker C: Me?
• 39:52
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 39:53
  >> Speaker C: I take a fatigue and turn the damage back with my
• 39:56
  retaliate.
• 39:56
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good.
• 39:58
  >> Speaker C: All right.
• 39:59
  >> Speaker A: he goes to throw a second punch, but you, or
• 40:02
  he goes to throw a punch, and you retaliate, you
• 40:05
  dodge punch at him or strike at him,
• 40:07
  probably with your bo staff. and he goes down.
• 40:10
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, he jumps up and he
• 40:14
  turns to roll under my feet. And Bill just kind of
• 40:17
  sidesteps as he does this. And as he rises
• 40:20
  to punch from his knee, Bill just kind of like
• 40:23
  waxes bo staff on top of his head. He just hear like a
• 40:25
  coconut sound effect. And he goes straight back down.
• 40:28
  >> Speaker A: Nice. Oh, I get awesome. The one
• 40:31
  that was over in the corner who had the pillar thrown at him,
• 40:34
  he's back up. He turns, he sees Brock
• 40:37
  standing there by this open window sill and
• 40:40
  he turns to go take a swing at him. So, Brock,
• 40:42
  once again, do you have the choice? Take two, fatigue, market
• 40:45
  condition, or shift your. Now, again, just to reiterate with you guys,
• 40:48
  if you hit the end of your fatigue, it's not the end of the world. It's
• 40:51
  once you hit full fatigue and all your
• 40:54
  conditions are marked that you are out
• 40:57
  like dead. Well, no, it's, you're
• 41:00
  removed from the scene is the way they put it. So you're basically
• 41:02
  unconscious.
• 41:04
  >> Speaker C: I'm gonna be angry.
• 41:07
  Minus two to guide and comfort in assess situation.
• 41:10
  >> Speaker A: That fits rock pretty well.
• 41:11
  >> Speaker C: That really does. He
• 41:14
  he never assesses.
• 41:15
  >> Speaker A: All right. But because he is attending to commands, you
• 41:18
  do take one fatigue.
• 41:21
  >> Speaker C: And killing me here.
• 41:23
  >> Speaker A: Because he is a group, he gets an
• 41:26
  additional, attack. So he's going to do
• 41:28
  another strike against you. Ooh.
• 41:31
  So take a second of the options.
• 41:33
  Previously.
• 41:35
  >> Speaker C: All right, I guess I'll be. I'm
• 41:38
  not going to be afraid. You can't scare me.
• 41:40
  >> Speaker A: Brock doesn't scare easily.
• 41:41
  >> Speaker C: Fine. I'll be insecure.
• 41:44
  >> Speaker A: You're like, how is this guy punching me?
• 41:45
  >> Speaker C: So why'd he punch me twice? Usually we take
• 41:48
  turns. I punch, you punch. I punch, you
• 41:50
  punch.
• 41:51
  >> Speaker A: micah jumping over to you and the guy that you are taking
• 41:54
  on, it also is doing a
• 41:58
  strike.
• 41:59
  >> Speaker E: He's striking me.
• 42:00
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 42:01
  >> Speaker E: You can't hit a woman. It's a
• 42:04
  sloth.
• 42:05
  >> Speaker A: You look at the curvatures of this
• 42:07
  person's body and realize it's a woman. Oof.
• 42:11
  You've lost your defense.
• 42:15
  So she is
• 42:18
  striking you. So you get to.
• 42:20
  >> Speaker E: I'm not used to just stand there and take it.
• 42:22
  >> Speaker A: Okay, that's good. But you do have
• 42:25
  to mark either. Well, it would be, too
• 42:28
  fatigue. Mark a condition or shift your balance away
• 42:31
  from center. You, will take a fatigue either
• 42:33
  way.
• 42:35
  >> Speaker E: Well, I only have one fatigue to get.
• 42:37
  >> Speaker A: Okay. So you have to either
• 42:40
  mark a condition or shift your balance away from
• 42:43
  center.
• 42:43
  >> Speaker E: I'm going to
• 42:47
  mark a condition. Just one?
• 42:49
  >> Speaker A: Yep.
• 42:49
  >> Speaker E: I'm going to be angry because I am angry.
• 42:51
  >> Speaker A: That's fair. And then you take that fatigue as well.
• 42:54
  >> Speaker E: Yeah, I did.
• 42:54
  >> Speaker A: I. Perfect. And then she's gonna strike a second
• 42:57
  time.
• 42:58
  >> Speaker E: Are you frickin kidding?
• 42:59
  >> Speaker A: That's how it's supposed to work. This is the thing that I learned that I was
• 43:02
  doing wrong in the combat situations.
• 43:05
  Yeah. Was they get one plus,
• 43:08
  what they're supposed to or what they're shown as, which I'm like, why don't they just
• 43:11
  mark that? Why don't they just say, plus, whatever? But
• 43:13
  that's just how the game is apparently
• 43:16
  set up, so you have to choose another one of those options, as
• 43:19
  previously mentioned.
• 43:22
  >> Speaker E: So market condition, basically, or move
• 43:25
  my.
• 43:25
  >> Speaker A: Or move your. Yeah. Balance. Bo's doing fine.
• 43:28
  >> Speaker C: Aren't you, Ko?
• 43:29
  >> Speaker A: Yep.
• 43:31
  >> Speaker D: Doing just peachy.
• 43:34
  >> Speaker C: I'm angry and insecure. One guy left.
• 43:36
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Cause there were. I'll move.
• 43:38
  >> Speaker C: Jeez.
• 43:40
  >> Speaker E: So I'm farthest away currently.
• 43:42
  >> Speaker A: You're at the edge.
• 43:43
  >> Speaker E: I missed.
• 43:45
  >> Speaker A: She might go off the edge. Awesome.
• 43:47
  Okay. And then finally, there's one left.
• 43:50
  it's going to approach Guo han. Are you.
• 43:52
  You're not defending him anymore. Right.
• 43:54
  >> Speaker C: I'm in front of him.
• 43:55
  >> Speaker A: I don't know.
• 43:56
  >> Speaker C: It's up to you. As the.
• 43:58
  >> Speaker A: I like to think that, he.
• 43:59
  >> Speaker C: Does draw of this mental map.
• 44:01
  >> Speaker A: You know what? So I'll, say he rushes up to
• 44:04
  Bill. Then since Bill is standing in front,
• 44:07
  and he's going to also, he's going to pressure
• 44:10
  you from advance and
• 44:12
  attacking.
• 44:13
  >> Speaker C: Okay.
• 44:14
  >> Speaker A: basically, he starts swinging at whoa. And you kind of step
• 44:17
  in front, and you're looking at two guys now,
• 44:20
  and they're swinging at, you know, you and Guo,
• 44:23
  and you're just focusing on keeping them from hitting Guo. I would
• 44:26
  assume, since you were kind of, you know, in that moment of protecting
• 44:29
  him. And then, in that moment, he's also
• 44:32
  striking. So, you choose to, do
• 44:34
  two fatigue, market condition or shift your balance.
• 44:37
  >> Speaker C: Would my retaliate carry over to this one, or did I use it on the
• 44:40
  other guy?
• 44:40
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, it says each time a foam clicks.
• 44:42
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, I do it again. Okay, sounds good.
• 44:45
  But since I don't have a fatigue.
• 44:47
  >> Speaker A: Oh, I guess that one guy's down. So technically it's just this guy. But whatever
• 44:50
  the case, same concept.
• 44:53
  >> Speaker C: I am out of fatigue, so I have to take a status.
• 44:55
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good. But you do inflict a fatigue bat.
• 44:58
  >> Speaker C: Bill is insecure. Now, why are you gonna
• 45:01
  keep hitting me, man?
• 45:03
  >> Speaker A: I think, I would think that you're insecure about the idea of being
• 45:06
  able to protect glow.
• 45:07
  >> Speaker C: Yeah.
• 45:07
  >> Speaker A: because these guys are starting to feel it. Yeah, you're starting to feel it. You're
• 45:10
  getting tired. You're like, I can't protect my friends
• 45:14
  like me.
• 45:16
  >> Speaker C: He stopped snapping.
• 45:19
  >> Speaker E: Did I do mine?
• 45:20
  >> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. What was your. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Are you doing evade
• 45:23
  and observe?
• 45:24
  >> Speaker E: Yeah.
• 45:24
  >> Speaker A: Okay. What are you doing one day? Are you proud of it?
• 45:26
  >> Speaker E: Well, I was going to,
• 45:29
  either bolster
• 45:32
  or hinder.
• 45:33
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 45:34
  >> Speaker E: Yeah, I think that's what I wanted to do.
• 45:36
  >> Speaker A: To clear one fatigue. Yeah. You get to clear one fatigue and
• 45:39
  then roll with either creativity or harmony.
• 45:41
  >> Speaker E: Creativity.
• 45:42
  >> Speaker A: So you use a moment to kind of take a step back
• 45:45
  and breathe, letting kind of the oxygen fill your lungs,
• 45:48
  feeling refreshed. So you get that fatigue back, you start to feel a little
• 45:51
  bit more focused, and refreshed for the
• 45:54
  battle 1010. All right. So you can
• 45:57
  actually take, if you wanted to, you can take two
• 45:59
  basic techniques, and if I
• 46:02
  remember correctly, and people
• 46:05
  might say things about it when they listen, but I
• 46:08
  believe you can, in fact, take the same
• 46:11
  move twice.
• 46:13
  >> Speaker E: Which means I can hinder.
• 46:14
  >> Speaker A: Hm.
• 46:14
  >> Speaker E: The guy I threw something at.
• 46:15
  >> Speaker C: Ah, sure.
• 46:17
  >> Speaker E: Okay.
• 46:18
  >> Speaker A: How are you doing that? Just for the
• 46:20
  purposes of, I'll take.
• 46:22
  >> Speaker E: An intimidating step forward
• 46:24
  towards, another
• 46:27
  thing in between me and him.
• 46:29
  >> Speaker A: Oh, okay. So you reach over like you're
• 46:32
  gonna grab another of the, pillars, and
• 46:35
  he kind of, like, flinches. So he's stunned. He's caught
• 46:38
  off guard. He's a little bit nervous about what you just
• 46:41
  did. he can't act or respond until he
• 46:44
  steadies himself, so that's what he will do
• 46:46
  on his next move. And then again, you can take a
• 46:49
  second action as well. From the evade and observe. It
• 46:52
  can be bolster and hinder. It can be something else. It's
• 46:55
  totally up to you. but don't forget that you also have the person that's
• 46:58
  actually in front of you attacking.
• 47:00
  >> Speaker E: Can I see what Brock's doing?
• 47:02
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, I would say.
• 47:03
  >> Speaker E: Well, then I would like to aid him, because that is also. There's still.
• 47:06
  My goal is mad me.
• 47:07
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good. So, you see him over there?
• 47:10
  he's dealing. He's right next to the rope, but he's got this dude that's
• 47:13
  fighting him and attacking him. Brock, what were your conditions that you
• 47:16
  have right now?
• 47:16
  >> Speaker C: I am angry and insecure.
• 47:18
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so what are you. You shout something to
• 47:21
  him to help him clear. Angry or
• 47:23
  secure insecure? Which. What are you shouting
• 47:26
  to him? Nice pecks.
• 47:31
  Be the boulder, bro.
• 47:33
  >> Speaker E: The boulder is be the man
• 47:36
  I know you can be.
• 47:39
  >> Speaker A: That's such a wife thing to say,
• 47:42
  sister. Wife thing to say.
• 47:43
  >> Speaker C: I am so secure in myself.
• 47:46
  >> Speaker A: Brock, you suddenly feel that you can, in fact,
• 47:49
  be the man that you can be.
• 47:51
  >> Speaker E: You know, I'm implying that you should lie
• 47:54
  on your psycho tendencies.
• 47:56
  >> Speaker A: You know, what makes you think
• 48:00
  that.
• 48:00
  >> Speaker C: Brock is so scared? excited.
• 48:02
  >> Speaker E: He literally buried mad under
• 48:05
  the part.
• 48:06
  >> Speaker C: Of the three seasons of
• 48:09
  Broccoli's existence lead you to
• 48:12
  believe that he's psychopath. Was it burying
• 48:15
  a human alive?
• 48:15
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 48:16
  >> Speaker C: Was it punching another human through a wall and then blocking
• 48:19
  off another guy's escape?
• 48:21
  >> Speaker A: Yeah.
• 48:22
  >> Speaker C: Wanting to kill soul rest day.
• 48:24
  >> Speaker A: Yeah.
• 48:26
  >> Speaker C: What was it? Souls day. Souls day.
• 48:28
  >> Speaker A: I think it was soul rest day.
• 48:29
  >> Speaker C: But I did like, I haven't killed anyone, but
• 48:31
  I know of.
• 48:32
  >> Speaker A: That's the key thing.
• 48:33
  >> Speaker E: Well, I'm just saying what happens to Madame
• 48:36
  Yang happens to Madame Yang.
• 48:39
  >> Speaker A: Be the man that you can be.
• 48:41
  >> Speaker C: Well, I got.
• 48:43
  >> Speaker A: She knows you.
• 48:44
  >> Speaker C: I've got options, though, for my next move.
• 48:46
  >> Speaker A: M. And Mika has dark thoughts, so what she
• 48:49
  knows you can be is a dark version of yourself.
• 48:52
  >> Speaker C: Yeah.
• 48:52
  >> Speaker A: See that?
• 48:52
  >> Speaker C: So, like, I.
• 48:53
  >> Speaker E: It goes with my whole angry thing.
• 48:55
  >> Speaker C: It does.
• 48:56
  >> Speaker A: She's angry.
• 48:57
  >> Speaker E: I did breathe, but now I can just, like, be
• 49:00
  maybe a little bit clearly.
• 49:02
  >> Speaker C: I can just drop a giant boulder on her like Wile E.
• 49:04
  Coyote do it.
• 49:07
  >> Speaker A: Maybe I could do that.
• 49:08
  >> Speaker E: She'll probably just break it. No, she got
• 49:11
  out of the earth somehow.
• 49:12
  >> Speaker C: She wouldn't. We still haven't addressed.
• 49:14
  >> Speaker E: Anyway. Moving on.
• 49:16
  >> Speaker A: I was gonna say moving on. yeah, so we're moving into
• 49:19
  the third section of combat exchange. the
• 49:21
  guys in front of you look like crap. They look like
• 49:24
  they've gotten real beat to heck. Whatever the case, everybody
• 49:27
  decide what combat approach you're taking this round.
• 49:30
  And within that is anyone taking defend and
• 49:33
  maneuver.
• 49:34
  >> Speaker C: I will maneuver. And I will maneuver, not
• 49:36
  defend. Okay, so I will
• 49:39
  maneuver and all.
• 49:40
  >> Speaker A: Part of it all. But nevertheless, okay, you sound real
• 49:43
  eager.
• 49:44
  >> Speaker C: Brock, let me let.
• 49:46
  >> Speaker A: Oh, you want Bill to go first? Okay, Bill, what are you
• 49:48
  doing?
• 49:49
  >> Speaker C: Nine.
• 49:49
  >> Speaker A: Nine. Okay, so you can do, one basic or one
• 49:52
  mastered. Which would you prefer?
• 49:55
  >> Speaker C: Retaliate.
• 49:56
  >> Speaker A: Retaliate. Okay, sounds good. You're still blocking guo.
• 49:59
  You're making sure that glow doesn't take a single poke.
• 50:02
  >> Speaker C: There's one thing Bill's good at. Defending people.
• 50:04
  >> Speaker A: That is true. That is true.
• 50:05
  >> Speaker C: That's like, you haven't learned that now, Bill,
• 50:08
  defense.
• 50:09
  >> Speaker A: Brock's unhinged and you've taken out
• 50:12
  one guy so far. Yeah, Bob, take out a second
• 50:15
  fully down.
• 50:16
  >> Speaker C: I have not a Brock. I will be seizing a position.
• 50:19
  >> Speaker A: Okay, what is this?
• 50:19
  >> Speaker C: We're gonna ring a ding ding the old rock
• 50:22
  elevator. And I'm going down
• 50:25
  about 100ft to Madame Yang
• 50:28
  and. Cause she's like on the
• 50:31
  cliff. Right, right.
• 50:32
  >> Speaker A: So my plan, I mean, she's actively moving down.
• 50:35
  Yeah.
• 50:35
  >> Speaker C: Okay, so I'll go down. My plan is to have Brock
• 50:39
  elevator. So we're essentially going to jump and
• 50:41
  just tear through on
• 50:44
  this little rock elevator down. And he's going to
• 50:47
  meet, he's.
• 50:48
  >> Speaker A: Turning himself into a brock slide, if you
• 50:51
  will.
• 50:53
  >> Speaker C: So he's going to go down and meet Madame Yang where
• 50:56
  she's at on the rope. Okay,
• 50:59
  I'm going to pop out like, what's
• 51:02
  it like an attack on Titan when the guy just jumps out of the
• 51:04
  wall?
• 51:05
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. okay. Give yourself an
• 51:08
  appropriately appropriate,
• 51:11
  status effect. I'm guessing either prepared or
• 51:13
  empowered.
• 51:14
  >> Speaker C: Well, I did get pretty inspired, I could say.
• 51:17
  >> Speaker A: I suppose you could say that I was inspired.
• 51:20
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, I'll go empowered.
• 51:21
  >> Speaker A: Wait.
• 51:22
  >> Speaker C: Yeah, empowered. So I clear one fatigue at the end
• 51:25
  of each.
• 51:25
  >> Speaker A: The. Each exchange.
• 51:26
  >> Speaker C: That's at the round. At the end of the round. Okay. And I rolled a
• 51:29
  ten on that.
• 51:31
  >> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So you can take an additional, basic move
• 51:34
  there from the maneuver.
• 51:36
  >> Speaker C: Wait, just go down twice.
• 51:38
  >> Speaker A: Continue to seize a position.
• 51:40
  >> Speaker C: I mean, I'm already where I need to be. Like, I
• 51:42
  can. I guess I can use the additional move to pop
• 51:45
  out and be, like, under Madame Gang.
• 51:48
  >> Speaker A: Here's what you could do. You could ready
• 51:50
  yourself, given that you're moving downwards,
• 51:54
  to try to meet up with Madame Yang. you
• 51:56
  could ready yourself and inflict a
• 51:59
  status effect on her.
• 52:02
  >> Speaker C: I think she would be stunned
• 52:05
  because she probably wouldn't
• 52:08
  imagine someone's gonna pop out of
• 52:11
  the wall.
• 52:12
  >> Speaker A: Oh, hey, I just realized something. You seized a position first,
• 52:14
  right?
• 52:15
  >> Speaker C: Yeah.
• 52:15
  >> Speaker B: Oh, sorry.
• 52:16
  >> Speaker A: Okay. Okay. So you establish an advantageous
• 52:19
  position. That's you using season,
• 52:21
  then. Sorry, I was misreading the.
• 52:24
  The, You get it. What was it that you took? Empowered.
• 52:27
  >> Speaker C: Yeah.
• 52:27
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so you get empowered through being ready. Okay, sorry.
• 52:30
  That's my bad. But, yeah, basically that that encompasses everything.
• 52:33
  So you start shooting down, you ready yourself
• 52:36
  to pop out and hopefully stop Madam Yang.
• 52:39
  >> Speaker C: Well, would she be stuck? Because she can also feel
• 52:42
  trapped, because she's literally stuck between a brock
• 52:45
  and a hard place.
• 52:49
  >> Speaker A: Okay, so it's up to you. It's up to you. Do you want to feel empowered or
• 52:52
  do you want to make her trapped?
• 52:55
  >> Speaker C: Me, empowered, or her trapped.
• 52:58
  So my abilities will be naturally stronger and I clear fatigue at the end
• 53:01
  of the exchange. Or she feels completely helpless.
• 53:04
  Must mark a combination of three conditions or
• 53:07
  three fatigue to a escape.
• 53:08
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 53:11
  >> Speaker C: So she would. So then she would.
• 53:14
  So if she's trapped, then she would also feel,
• 53:17
  like, angry, afraid, guilty, insecure. One of
• 53:20
  those. Like, three of those.
• 53:21
  >> Speaker A: Right. Or three fatigue. Yep.
• 53:24
  >> Speaker E: She'll probably go three fatigue.
• 53:26
  >> Speaker C: So I can either mark three fatigue on her. I'm gonna mark three
• 53:29
  fatigue on her. She feels.
• 53:31
  >> Speaker A: She. I think she decides. Yeah.
• 53:33
  >> Speaker C: Oh, she agree. Yeah. But she's taking
• 53:36
  three effects.
• 53:37
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
• 53:38
  >> Speaker C: So negatives, three. I will trap Madame Yang.
• 53:41
  She feels trapped. She's like, oh, this strapping young man who
• 53:44
  buried me alive.
• 53:45
  >> Speaker A: She's coming.
• 53:45
  >> Speaker E: I'm dangling on a rope.
• 53:47
  >> Speaker A: I was gonna say she's coming down the mountain. She's holding
• 53:50
  on to a rope as she slides down, and
• 53:53
  she's got an airbender that's chasing after. And then
• 53:56
  she starts to feel this rumble underneath the
• 53:58
  mountain. Something seems to be headed her
• 54:01
  way. She can feel it in the rocks as
• 54:04
  she's going down on.
• 54:07
  Going down this road. Awesome. Fantastic.
• 54:10
  We will jump back to that here shortly. Fantastic. we
• 54:13
  will move on to advance and attack. Yes.
• 54:15
  >> Speaker E: Yes.
• 54:16
  >> Speaker A: Okay. What are you doing?
• 54:17
  >> Speaker E: I'm, striking a person who's striking me.
• 54:19
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good. Roll a passion. Roll with
• 54:22
  passion.
• 54:26
  >> Speaker E: I got a seven.
• 54:28
  >> Speaker A: A seven. Okay, you can take a basic move, then. All right, so you're
• 54:31
  striking. What are you doing to strike out at this person?
• 54:34
  >> Speaker E: I'm a kicker.
• 54:35
  >> Speaker A: Okay, sounds good. Just in the jaw. You got
• 54:38
  water, Brandon. So you kick up. She's pretty much out
• 54:41
  at this point anyway. She's taking a whole bunch of hit as it is.
• 54:44
  >> Speaker C: You.
• 54:45
  >> Speaker E: We're in a cave, Brock.
• 54:47
  >> Speaker A: You kick your foot around and slam it into her
• 54:50
  face, and she falls down. She is out. She is
• 54:52
  done. Nice. Awesome. So that's
• 54:55
  good. Oh, actually. So, whoa, you're not doing advance
• 54:58
  on attack, right?
• 54:59
  >> Speaker D: I am doing.
• 55:00
  >> Speaker A: Oh, you are doing it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. Because you were, you were all
• 55:03
  prepared. You pinpointed. Okay, so who are you,
• 55:05
  attacking, then?
• 55:07
  >> Speaker C: So there's two guys left, right?
• 55:08
  >> Speaker A: Yes.
• 55:09
  >> Speaker D: Where are they at?
• 55:10
  >> Speaker A: one is in the back of the room, kind of where? Nearby
• 55:13
  where Brock just kind of dove under, and the other one's pretty not too far
• 55:16
  from you, and, well, actually fighting with.
• 55:20
  >> Speaker D: 1010.
• 55:21
  >> Speaker A: All right, so you actually can do two,
• 55:24
  both of which could be strike if you wanted to.
• 55:27
  >> Speaker D: So I am gonna do strike, and with my
• 55:30
  pinpoint aim, it says, I do not have to mark
• 55:33
  fatigue to choose what you inflict.
• 55:35
  >> Speaker A: Ah. okay. Okay.
• 55:36
  >> Speaker D: I'll do the guy over by
• 55:39
  Brock.
• 55:39
  >> Speaker A: Okay.
• 55:40
  >> Speaker D: What is he doing over there?
• 55:41
  >> Speaker A: he was punching on Brock, but then all of a sudden, Brock
• 55:44
  kind of dove under the floor. So this actually is kind of
• 55:47
  funny, because as soon as he dives under the floor, the guy's just kind of
• 55:50
  standing there. And then he looks up, and there's guo,
• 55:53
  like, ready to flick a pebble at him.
• 55:58
  And with pinpoint accuracy, you fire. This
• 56:01
  pebble over, strikes him dead in the
• 56:03
  forehead like a David and Goliath situation.
• 56:06
  And the man topples down.
• 56:09
  Nice. And then you have one more advance and
• 56:11
  attack.
• 56:12
  >> Speaker D: I'll, aim up on the guy by bill and
• 56:15
  do the same thing.
• 56:16
  >> Speaker A: All right, perfect. you turn to this other
• 56:19
  individual, and you pull another pebble,
• 56:21
  maybe bend the pebble out of your bag,
• 56:25
  fire. That one goes flying over, hits them. I'm gonna
• 56:28
  say in the shoulder, maybe something like that. knocks them
• 56:30
  back. They are, the last one there they're
• 56:33
  incredibly, exhausted, and they are
• 56:36
  afraid. He falls to the ground. he pulls
• 56:39
  his own mask off, and he starts
• 56:42
  to kind of back away from you all. And he says,
• 56:44
  where am I?
• 56:46
  >> Speaker B: What's happening here?
• 56:47
  >> Speaker A: Who are you people? And with that,
• 56:50
  you guys have essentially pulled yourself out of combat because this
• 56:53
  guy's no longer engaged with you. I'm going to cut over
• 56:56
  to, Brock. So,
• 56:59
  Brock, as you are tunneling
• 57:02
  under the ground, you suddenly burst
• 57:05
  forth from the mountain, nearly hitting Madame
• 57:07
  Yang. She is going to be marking
• 57:10
  three fatigue in response to
• 57:12
  this. Yes. As she
• 57:15
  lets go of the rope and sort of kicks
• 57:18
  off of the mountain, falling dead air
• 57:21
  straight towards the ground. But at the
• 57:24
  very last second, you see out of her
• 57:27
  hands and feet small flames as
• 57:30
  she slows her descent.
• 57:32
  >> Speaker C: This still doesn't explain how she escaped.
• 57:34
  >> Speaker A: Out of the ground. I'm just gonna
• 57:37
  say, is she the avatar to give you
• 57:40
  closure?
• 57:41
  >> Speaker C: Yes.
• 57:42
  >> Speaker A: That she has assistants
• 57:45
  that are earth and employees that are earth. Been.
• 57:47
  >> Speaker E: But how did they know?
• 57:49
  >> Speaker A: Well, she probably
• 57:51
  in the area.
• 57:53
  >> Speaker C: No, the two lackeys were
• 57:55
  lured away.
• 57:56
  >> Speaker A: Right, right.
• 57:57
  >> Speaker C: And she was alone. So I like, that's why she
• 58:00
  buried her alive.
• 58:01
  >> Speaker A: They obviously got out and then they helped her.
• 58:04
  Or maybe somebody at the party. I don't know.
• 58:06
  >> Speaker C: Hey, maybe there was a person next to.
• 58:09
  >> Speaker A: Yeah, Minecraft die like some people.
• 58:12
  >> Speaker C: Well, speaking of Minecraft,
• 58:15
  let's. All right, so what is my position as of right
• 58:18
  now?
• 58:19
  >> Speaker A: I guess flying through the air.
• 58:22
  >> Speaker C: Okay. All right. Am I good to keep advancing and
• 58:24
  attacking?
• 58:25
  >> Speaker A: sure.
• 58:26
  >> Speaker C: Okay, but we're out of combat. You guys are
• 58:29
  all right. So Brock.
• 58:32
  >> Speaker A: Brock is plummeting to the ground.
• 58:33
  >> Speaker C: He's actually plummeting to the ground.
• 58:34
  >> Speaker A: Yeah. As Brock is plummeting towards the ground
• 58:37
  where Madam Yang is hopping into this hot,
• 58:40
  leaf juice cart.
• 58:42
  >> Speaker C: Don't you dare tell me the guru comes and gets me
• 58:44
  and Guru Tupiq.
• 58:46
  >> Speaker A: Is sort of flying alongside of you at this point
• 58:49
  on his air glider as you guys are plowing towards,
• 58:52
  Madame Yang.
• 58:53
  >> Speaker C: Yup.
• 58:54
  >> Speaker A: We're gonna close out.
• 58:55
  >> Speaker C: No, I am going.
• 58:58
  I'm gonna tell you the plan anyways. I'm pulling a piece of the
• 59:01
  mountain out and
• 59:04
  just hugging it at Madame Yang.
• 59:07
  There is no shot. She deflects
• 59:10
  that.
• 59:10
  >> Speaker B: She can't.
• 59:11
  >> Speaker C: She can't.
• 59:13
  >> Speaker B: Hey, everyone. Skylar, the game master for benders and
• 59:15
  brews and the creative director over at session Zero Heroes
• 59:18
  here. I just wanted to give you a quick outro before you head over to the
• 59:21
  next episode or call it a day. Firstly,
• 59:24
  thank you so much for listening to our show. It means
• 59:27
  so much to us to have such amazing people like
• 59:30
  yourself that enjoy the content that we produce.
• 59:33
  Without you, there really wouldn't be much point in all the work
• 59:36
  that we put into recording, editing and sharing our
• 59:39
  TTRPG sessions with all of you. With that being said,
• 59:42
  we would love it if you would throw some love our way
• 59:45
  and drop us a review or a rating or whatever it
• 59:48
  is called wherever you're listening to the show based on whatever
• 59:50
  platform that allows you to leave reviews and leave
• 59:53
  recommendations. It means a lot to us to get to hear why
• 59:56
  you love the show we make, and it also helps the show reach
• 59:59
  other listeners as well, allowing us to grow our community.
• 1:00:02
  So if you're feeling a spiritual especially generous, you
• 1:00:05
  could even go as far as to share our show to your friends and family
• 1:00:08
  who also enjoy TTRBG actual Plague
• 1:00:11
  podcasts. It's really expensive for us to be able to
• 1:00:13
  advertise and we don't do much of it, so it's a
• 1:00:16
  lot more help to have you guys share it with people that
• 1:00:19
  you know will enjoy it and then they can join in the community that
• 1:00:22
  we're creating. That would make you a session zero hero
• 1:00:25
  yourself. And additionally, we'd love to have you.
