Final Hope E11: Gladiator 3 - Pantheonic Drift · The Multiverse Collective

0:00
Ready are we all? Strapped on and strapped in,
0:03
baby, Let's go. Yeah, it's all the Lloyd lying,
0:08
all the girds lined it. Lined girded one of the free.
0:13
I got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the
0:15
key. Fuck yeah my.
0:16
God, that was not where I thought you were going with
0:19
that. On our last episode, Murphy and
0:26
the gang head to a casino. But this isn't just a regular
0:30
casino. This is a casino in space.
0:33
Oh, and along the way, they meet Roxanne, an employee of a casino
0:37
who does your best to try to help them.
0:40
And they get into some high jinks when they meet someone
0:46
who's not such good news. And Roxanne tries to warn them,
0:50
but every time she does, she gets a massive migraine.
0:53
So fun. So that is where we left off and
0:59
I do believe everyone left at the end and Roxanne went back to
1:04
attend to her dog mobiles or who.
1:07
Had a. Terrible gambling addiction.
1:22
So we come back to the PERD and in like the viewing station, we
1:28
see Murphy, Maxwell and Aphrodite sat in the viewing
1:33
platform. Yeah, I think she's perched on
1:36
his knee. Oh damn.
1:38
Damn, what? What have the been?
1:41
I say it's going to be like one or two days since you left the
1:45
casino. How how has the dynamic been in
1:49
the PERD? Has anything changed or, you
1:52
know, is like Spencer and Max still sort of avoiding the
1:55
situation? I mean, Murphy is fine.
1:58
Spencer spent all of her waking hours at the gym just to avoid
2:03
looking at at what's happening. I you know what I think Max is
2:07
also just like also in the gym. Yeah, like Spencer.
2:12
Spencer knows that they're like, it's very wrong.
2:15
Like, something's really wrong here.
2:17
But she doesn't want to like Harsh Murphy's vibe.
2:21
This is like, the happiest she's ever seen this little dude, you
2:24
know? He deserves to get some.
2:26
I think Max has tried like in the first probably 12 hours that
2:31
we got on the PERD, I think Max has tried to be like, hey buddy,
2:37
you know, women are great, but you know, they're, they're not
2:42
everything and I think. Shut up, Max.
2:45
No, hold on. No, fuck.
2:46
That's the wrong way. Fuck.
2:49
Shut the fuck up, Max. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:52
Shut up, Max. You don't know what you're
2:54
talking about. I'm older than you.
2:58
I've had several serious relationships.
3:03
I believe that. Spencer just went away
3:07
furatively. She like won't even look at this
3:09
conversation as as it's happening.
3:12
You know what, Murphy? It won't make sense to you now.
3:15
I get it, I get it. But one day you'll come to me
3:18
and you'll say Max Brown. You said some smart shit on that
3:21
ship and I think Max is just going to walk away.
3:29
You know, it it probably makes it worse that for the power of
3:32
your Aphrodite, it looks like the women you both love, which
3:38
has got to be sort of some sort of psychological damage, you
3:41
know? Oh yeah, I mean, this is, this
3:45
is full psychological warfare for Spencer.
3:48
She is losing her fucking shit. Like she genuinely can't even
3:51
look at this as it's happening. Do we get do we get cell signal
3:56
on the ship? Like is there like a post office
3:57
or something 100? Percent post office.
4:04
There's there's just one stark that flies to the perd every day
4:08
with your mail Max. Writes Sarah A Love note.
4:13
Oh God. Homework Max, please write me
4:18
I'll. Write you something during the
4:22
break. Don't you worry.
4:24
It's going to start with my dearest Sarah.
4:27
It has been three weeks since the war began.
4:32
It has been six days since I left, since I.
4:34
Left I still think about you every day.
4:40
It's almost like you're here. That thermos sees a lot of use,
4:44
huh? It's for soup, God damn it.
4:49
Is there like a fucking water? Yeah.
4:56
No, I think. I think by day 2 Max and Spencer
4:59
are fully just like in the gym. I think they haven't said a
5:03
single word to each other other than just like grunting at
5:06
weights. Yeah, 100% Spencer can't hold
5:09
the conversation right now. She's so physically angry every
5:13
time she looks at this. Like Regina mock up sitting in
5:17
Murphy's fucking lap. Murphy's lap.
5:20
Murph. It's Murph.
5:21
I think Max, I think Max has tried, but he's just like, no,
5:27
no, no talk only wait. I, I think the only, I think the
5:32
only words said between Max and Spencer in the past two days is
5:36
a mix of like, hey, do you need a spot for that or can you pass
5:41
the protein pancakes? OK.
5:48
Remind me, do we have a destination or did we just get
5:52
and just start fucking going in the?
5:53
Direct. Yeah, we just we.
5:54
Just started going. In started going.
5:58
Oh good. It's cool, don't you worry about
6:01
it. You got to get us somewhere.
6:04
Which is even. Worse, say, do we have like a, a
6:09
local map of like habitable planets that we could check out
6:13
or something like we, we haven't, we've been sort of on
6:16
autopilot this entire trip so far so.
6:19
Yeah. So, so from from now you're,
6:22
you're basically not. You've just basically just went,
6:25
well, fucking fly in that direction and see what we come
6:27
up to. 2nd starting straight on to morning.
6:29
Got it. Yeah, and you've gone past
6:32
planets that are habitable, but Aphrodite is just every single
6:37
time you've you've pointed one out to us, she's like, no, no,
6:39
not that one. No, you know what the.
6:42
Fuck, did we let Murphy fly the ship?
6:46
You let Murphy fly the ship. I was never going to be in
6:50
charge, Max. You.
6:52
I thought we were fighting syphilis.
6:55
You don't. Want chlamydia to?
6:56
Fly. You should.
6:57
Chlamydia syphilis is the one that killed out.
7:01
Worse. Oh, I thought it was like tax
7:05
evasion or. Something I mean that too, but
7:07
also syphilis. Oh fuck, you know.
7:13
Well, well, the. Peravia having this
7:16
conversation, you hear? I don't know how you'd explain
7:21
it. The two, Max and Spencer would
7:23
hear just literal gibberish like over the intercom, like
7:29
somebody's sending these signals over, whereas you Merthyr you
7:33
would hear. So this is is the trash that you
7:36
chose Aphrodite instead of me, your husband?
7:42
As the PERD starts being like, you lose control of the PERD as
7:48
yeah, just basically pulled into a truck to a a tractor bin.
7:53
Is that what the fuck they're called?
7:54
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, are are are Max and
7:56
Spencer on the bridge with me right now?
7:57
Are they still working out? No, I'm in the gym.
8:00
I have not left the gym. OK.
8:02
Max drops like 100 LB plate on his foot.
8:06
Max are going to die. You just see like bright red.
8:12
I'm off his face and I think Murphy from the bridge, you just
8:18
hear. Spencer comes over and takes the
8:28
weight off of his foot, but there's like, tears in her eyes
8:31
because. There's tears in Max's eyes
8:35
because I think he just broke like three of his toes.
8:39
Yeah, 100%. Fence hurt.
8:41
Please carry me to the Infirmary.
8:44
OK, OK. And she picks him up piggyback
8:49
style. Murphy, for his part, is going
8:51
to he'll he'll look at Aphrodite and just go.
8:56
Who's this nerd? It's a Festus.
9:01
Never heard of him. He, he's just, he's, he's just
9:04
some nerd from Mount Olympus. I hate that place.
9:15
I'm I'm married to him, he thought.
9:17
That's a long story. Married.
9:20
But it's a lovely man. It's a it's a loveless marriage.
9:24
I love you, Murphy. I see.
9:28
Look. Look at that smile.
9:29
Who could not love that smile? A Festus doesn't smile like
9:35
that. He's ugly and deformed and he
9:37
makes me hate my life when he talks to me, you know?
9:40
And who wants that? I think, I think we should have
9:47
a talk with him. I think, I don't think we have
9:51
an option. It looks like it.
9:56
I'm sorry to say it, but it looks like we're being pulled to
9:58
the the Crucible of Champions. How sweet.
10:07
Coming into view from as you're getting pulled in by this
10:11
tractor beam is that just imagine this colossal structure,
10:16
it's like far grander than any earthly Amphitheatre and it's
10:20
shimmering with like an overworld, overworldly
10:23
luminescence. You can tell that this building
10:25
isn't built from mere stone and mortar, its foundations woven
10:31
from the very fabric of creation myths.
10:35
You know, solidified Starlight from celestial beings, petrified
10:40
scales of prime primordial serpents, and polished Timbers
10:44
from the World Tree itself. The colours shift and shimmer
10:48
depending on which Pantheon's energy is currently done.
10:52
The circumference of this building stretches what seems
10:55
like an endless horizon. It it looks like it could be a
10:59
simple Oval, but it's shape is subtly morphin.
11:02
Mighty Morphin would one. Say yes, one would say it is
11:08
Mighty Morphin at this moment in time you can see it resembles
11:12
the shape of a Colosseum or something along those lines.
11:17
And you see this grand archway like adorned with Greek symbols
11:23
and text, but then there's also Norse symbology and all these
11:28
different pictures. You know, there's drawings of
11:32
Zeus, Odin, RA, amateur Rasu, Quetzalcoatl, Shiva and
11:36
thousands of other different gods that throughout all these
11:40
pantheons that have been throughout the thousands of
11:44
years of history. And you have lost me book again,
11:49
by the way, me role. So I'm just going after the move
11:53
around to the bedroom. Roll 2D6 plus mundane please,
11:57
Kyle. That's a 12.
11:59
Oh damn, You see stood in this grand archway, you see
12:06
Hephaestus hunched over his body looking broken.
12:12
You can see his hands are blistered and bruised and
12:16
covered in black soot from where he's been working the anvil.
12:20
You see a rather large man who is in this black Obsidian like
12:27
armour who all you can see in what's the the slit thing called
12:33
on. A visor A.
12:34
Helmet yeah on the visor is just these fiery red eyes pop like
12:39
piercing through you see this older looking gentleman who is
12:44
still ripped to fuck in just this toga with a long grey beard
12:51
and slick back grey hair. You see a slightly tanned man
12:56
who's just in some sort of shawl who has all these like fish
13:02
scale tattoos across his body with dreadlocks and a quite
13:07
trimmed tame beard. And you see a woman who seems to
13:12
be quite maternal, seems very motherly to some of these people
13:17
on who are stood there. And you know, she's, she's
13:21
beautiful, nowhere near as beautiful as Aphrodite.
13:24
But she is just an astonishing and she has her arm looped round
13:29
to the old grey man's arm. And as you're looking, you look
13:34
at Aphrodite and she looks troubled.
13:39
She's sort of furrowing her brow and rubbing her head.
13:44
I didn't want you to meet them like this.
13:46
Oh, it's fine, babe. Let's go meet them.
13:48
Let's go meet your family. Well, it.
13:53
Well. There's my husband, my, my, my
13:58
ex, my mum, my dad and my my uncle.
14:02
You know, it's, it's, it's going to be a fun afternoon, I can
14:08
tell you that. All right, let's go have a
14:10
cookout. He'll stand up and he'll he'll
14:12
press the little button on his seat and go.
14:14
Max Spencer, we got family to go.
14:17
See. Come on, let's go.
14:22
Max, what the fuck is happening? Spencer I don't know.
14:27
OK, Are you going to be like, all right, Because I don't know
14:29
how to help you with all of this.
14:33
I'm going to go see what Murph wants.
14:37
I guess. You, you go.
14:39
I'll, I'll make my way go. He needs it.
14:48
I'll I'll be there and Max weekly starts limping out of the
14:53
Infirmary. Yep, Spencer gives him a thumbs
14:55
up and absolutely dusts him. Yeah, she's like fully power
14:59
walking. She wants to go see what's going
15:01
on. It's like morbid curiosity and
15:03
fear and also disgust because Murphy has been just like
15:07
letting. Her doodling with your girl.
15:09
Sit in his lap canoodling with my girl.
15:13
It's awful just like this. Low grade nausea.
15:17
As you enter the viewing deck, Spencer, can you can can you
15:23
roll me two D6 plus danger. That's a 10.
15:26
What is my danger? It's been a while.
15:28
One second wait for my. Seat up.
15:30
My danger's two. Well, that's a dirty 12 then.
15:34
Oh damn, twelves are coming in thick and fast.
15:37
You see this man in fucking plate mail, this black Obsidian
15:42
plate mail, and you, how you feel the behemoth who inhabits
15:47
your spirit, just fucking react. Yeah, I want to fuck this guy
15:51
up. This is, yeah.
15:53
This is like the reaction of kindred spirits.
15:55
Like, you're both angry. Yeah, you, you both like
15:59
fighting. This is just like this guy can
16:02
you can tell this guy can take a punch and you can tell he can
16:04
throw a punch and you want to fucking test it?
16:07
100% I I'm like, I've kind of forgotten about the Regina thing
16:11
to be honest. I mostly just want to go spar.
16:15
Like, let's fuck around and find out.
16:18
Yeah, it's got by the time you get to the viewing deck, Max,
16:21
I'm, I'm assuming that Spencer and Murphy are already a lot of
16:25
fucking walking. I was assuming that Spencer is
16:28
like mid punch. No, Spencer hasn't.
16:32
You know, she's gonna introduce herself first.
16:34
She's not just gonna like. Start on the punch.
16:36
We just have to go down there so.
16:38
Yeah, yeah. But she's like, anticipating
16:41
this. Max like 30 seconds later he's
16:44
walking and it is like the most defeated limp.
16:48
Like I I will do this on camera so that you guys know what I'm
16:52
talking about, but it's like he's he the foot in which he
16:57
dropped the plate on is like up in the air and he's like walking
17:01
on his heel and just kind of like shuffling.
17:03
Y'all know what I mean? I have a question though, can't
17:07
Max fly? Yes.
17:13
He could just float. He could.
17:16
Will he though? Absolutely not.
17:19
Boat, by the way, Murphy Rummy 2D6 plus superior at advantage,
17:28
which is no reason. Yeah, I love that for us. 9.
17:33
As you pass this archway, you feel a familiar feeling.
17:38
That's all I'm going to say for now.
17:40
Oh good, Mr. Ram, put your face on the.
17:42
Way ominous, which is so ominous style.
17:48
Well, I can't. I can't give away all my
17:50
secrets. I mean, you could, yeah.
17:53
You could. You could.
17:55
You won't, but you could. I could, I could, but I'm not.
17:59
Going to yeah, so. You know, the PERD pulls up, the
18:09
walkway comes down, and you are greeted by.
18:14
Let me count on to these four people, these 5 people, I can do
18:19
maths and you see the grey haired man come to that.
18:27
Aphrodite, it's been such a long time since you've come home to
18:30
us. And you're like ushers.
18:35
Are in and he goes this. Must he comes over to you?
18:38
And he goes, This must be Murphy Maxwell.
18:41
We've heard so much about you since you've been seeing my
18:44
daughter for the past two days. Spencer is like looking between
18:50
them like crazy at her head's like back and forth.
18:55
It's a tennis match. She's also bright red.
18:59
How did you find out about me that quickly?
19:01
Oh my God. Oh, I guess that makes sense,
19:04
yeah. I think Max faints, but it's
19:09
like one of those like old ladies in church faints just.
19:16
Get the vapors. Spencer does not catch him.
19:20
Yeah, Spencer's just like this. Max lands very hard on the
19:24
ground and sits up, and he's just like Spencer.
19:28
I thought you were going to catch me.
19:30
You didn't say that you were going to fucking fall down, Max.
19:33
I don't know when you're going to have one of your diva.
19:35
Fits. They didn't fucking tell me that
19:37
we were going to meet gods. Max, you're being pretty
19:39
dramatic right now. I'm gonna need you to be a
19:41
little bit more. Murphy different.
19:43
It's not. The.
19:46
Time Max. Max like puffs out his chest and
19:49
he's like God damn it Murphy, this is not the time.
19:54
Guys, sorry, I just wanted to be included.
20:01
Max, like, whips back around. I, I imagine we just like, got
20:04
into a huddle. Max whips back around and he's
20:06
just like, So we were told there was a cookout happening.
20:12
I'll let you know. I make a mean potato salad.
20:15
Oh shit, we're going to eat. No, no, there's, there's no
20:19
cookout. No, no, no, no, no.
20:22
My potato. Salad, you and your team are
20:25
going to fight for the honour of having my daughter's hand.
20:28
Wait, we're going to what? I told you you're going to
20:32
fight. Wait, can I get dibs?
20:36
Do we do dibs? Do you guys accept dibs?
20:38
I don't. Do we get to?
20:40
I don't, sorry. Do we get to pick the combat?
20:41
Sorry. I don't know how this works.
20:43
Oh. No, it it, it's fighting to the
20:47
death that that's how we work here on on Mount Olympus.
20:52
OK, cool. It's.
20:53
It's even that, oh you do the 12 labours that my wife.
20:56
Sets out for you, and you know that could take.
20:58
Many years and we know you're very busy people, you know,
21:02
with, with the Caribtis and all we you know, wait, how?
21:06
Do you all go? Into labour if you're not
21:08
pregnant, how would that? Work for like months so you have
21:13
to do the type of job. It must be a seahorse method.
21:18
This guy knows what I'm talking about.
21:19
Points at like the the guy he assumes is Poseidon.
21:25
You point at Poseidon and you see like storm clouds start
21:30
forming. Max just like.
21:32
As you've just. Faced like smile like smiling,
21:35
pause like very slowly, just like lower his hand motion to
21:43
strike that from the record. Denied.
21:49
So wait, we're just fighting so Murph can put it in.
21:55
This, this is a fight for honour.
21:57
OK, OK. I just, I, I just wasn't sure if
22:00
I got something cool, if I won like some cool armour or
22:03
something or I don't know. I'm just, I'm spitball.
22:05
I'm sorry for being rude. I've never.
22:07
I'm nervous. Power Ranger, What cool armour
22:09
do you need? I don't know, I just, I kind of
22:12
like this dude's armour and she gestures it, who I assume is
22:15
Aries. It is very much Aries.
22:19
Yeah, I I don't know. I just, I like, I like the vibe.
22:23
It's nice. Yeah, I have cool armour.
22:25
You're right. But you know, sometimes a lady
22:28
likes an outfit change. And there's.
22:31
Something about like the the glowing red eyes that I'm going.
22:35
To I'll tell you what if if you win, if you are the main
22:40
contributor to Murphy's win, I'll have her Festus make you a
22:44
piece of plate armour. How does that sound?
22:47
Fucking sick and she goes to fist bump him.
22:51
That only fist bumps you back and you get this slight electric
22:55
shock, which isn't slight, it's very large electric shock, but.
22:59
Tries to play it cool, but it's like Code Brown, a little bit
23:03
cheap. Come on, come on now we, we have
23:10
a, we have places to be. You know, we may as well start
23:14
getting this done now. We'll give you a warm up round.
23:17
Of course, you know we are courteous here.
23:20
Max is like furiously scrolling down his last will and
23:23
testament. He doesn't have that already.
23:26
Of all people, Max doesn't have one. 20 I'm in my late 20s.
23:31
I didn't think I was going to need it so soon.
23:33
I, I think, I think Murphy, he's just like, he's not even talking
23:37
anymore. He's just he's you look at him
23:38
and he's already morphed into the silver.
23:41
Spencer is stretching first, and then she will morph after she's
23:45
finished stretching. Hey do you guys have an extra
23:48
pen I could borrow? I think mine just ran out of
23:50
ink. Max, are you going to join us or
23:52
what? I need to get my affairs in
23:54
order. I'm I'm common.
23:57
What affairs, man? And as you're having this
24:00
conversation Zeus, I feel like we all could assume that the big
24:05
silver haired man was. Zeus clipped his fingers and you
24:11
are teleported into a battlefield.
24:14
Max turns around, looking frantically for the notebook,
24:17
which did not get teleported into the battlefield.
24:22
Murphy, please roll 22-D6 plus superior again for me please. 8.
24:27
Yeah. So as you are teleported, oh,
24:29
you're, you roll you, you all end up in this battlefield.
24:36
As you're looking around you, you for some reason, you can
24:40
tell who these different people are who are sat in the rafters.
24:44
Only you can the the others can you see Telemachus, the the son
24:49
of the fallen hero, Odysseus. You see Cersei, the shadow
24:55
sorcerer. You see, Jesus Christ, I'm
24:57
dying. Wait, we see Jesus Christ?
25:03
He is a he is part of the pump. Yeah, you see, Jesus.
25:06
Max falls to his knees. You don't Max just Murphy.
25:14
You see 4, you see Tear, you see Freya, you say Frey.
25:20
You see Sun Wu Kang. I'm a Tarasu.
25:24
All these people and you don't know how you know who they are,
25:26
but for some reason you you're looking at them and this
25:29
information is just being absorbed into you.
25:33
I think he's having like just a like he's in his armour so you
25:36
like, you can't see his face, but he's having just a very
25:38
minor like existential crisis of like, what the fuck is going on?
25:42
Why do I know these people? Oh, and you also have the
25:45
feeling of familiarity again, God damn you.
25:55
You hear a clap of a clap. Is that a clap of Thunder?
26:00
Clap Gonorrhea. No, we don't need more TI.
26:06
We've already brought syphilis in Two's company, but three's a
26:11
crowd. You OK?
26:14
You hear the clap of Thunder as you see Zeus sit upon his
26:20
throne, and he sits there and he goes.
26:23
Are you challengers ready? Let's.
26:25
Get this over with. For the warm up.
26:29
He clicks his fingers, and you, Murphy, see.
26:33
When you see this, you know this is Silla, the like the
26:37
mythological beast of pure rage and fury who was like had its
26:45
own area of the sea back in the day.
26:47
And you don't know how you know this, but it's the same as that.
26:49
Everyone else's information is just pouring into you.
26:51
The other two you all see, well, you all see this, but it's this
26:56
giant monster. It's sort of mermaid slash
27:01
Kraken esque in the mythology and sort of like this.
27:07
Lovely. Very large, very scary.
27:10
MILF city baby. Anyway.
27:17
Yes, very large, very scary, very.
27:19
Maybe somebody's typing out there.
27:22
Yeah. And this is who you have to
27:24
fight for your warm up round. I, I think Murphy, he's just
27:28
going to start walking forward and he as he walks, the silver
27:33
medal shifts down his arms and instead of becoming a beau or
27:37
his staff, they turn into two long swords in his arms.
27:42
Aw shit. Spencer, there's no way out of
27:44
this, is there? I don't think so, buddy.
27:48
Fuck. And before Max can issue any
27:52
sort of follow up, Spencer is headlong charging towards this.
27:55
She knows that this is probably the thing in this world that she
28:00
is best at. I think Max surveying the scene
28:03
and seeing Murphy fucking pull out long swords and start doing
28:08
the bad ass walk and Spencer just running ahead of them.
28:12
Max just kind of levitates in the air and he's like, Oh yeah,
28:14
shit, I couldn't do that. All right, I guess I'll be the
28:19
fucking range guy. OK, so Murphy, what, what is
28:37
your first plan of action? OK, OK, I So what what what is
28:44
the area of like what's the terrain that we're?
28:47
In it's very Colosseum esque, so it's just.
28:50
OK so so it is the Colosseum what I'm going to do.
28:53
I'm going to use my one of my powers straight up creepin in
28:57
this area to look around and see this Get a lay of the land a
29:01
little bit as I'm walking towards this.
29:02
OK so it's plus mundane. I got an 8 so I can ask one
29:06
question and what I'm going to ask is what here is worth
29:09
grabbing. Do you see strewn across the
29:15
battlefield? Weapons from every single.
29:20
Pantheon Region. Region.
29:22
Region. On planet Earth and some from
29:25
other planets. Oh, every single region of
29:28
planet Earth, you say? Murphy picks up a fucking gun
29:32
from the ground. Murphy.
29:36
I mean, yeah. Murphy, go for it.
29:38
Murphy, do you have a permit for that thing?
29:40
That's what I'm going to use. No powers and not nearly enough
29:42
training for. OK.
29:44
So that'll be my turn. Murphy, Murphy, How many range
29:47
hours do you have? You have to tell.
29:50
Me roll AD 6 and I'll tell you what kind of gun it is. 3.
29:56
You pick up an M4A1 carbine rifle.
29:59
Perfect. Yeah.
30:00
Holy shit. All right, Murphy.
30:03
So Murphy picks up this actual assault rifle and just starts
30:06
walking towards this this mythical beast.
30:09
That they. Have a bump stock.
30:13
That's a felony, Murphy. I don't want to die, but I don't
30:19
want to get arrested. Max, shut the fuck up and fight.
30:24
Oh, there's no no responses. Shuts up because he knows
30:29
Murphy's right. Hey Murph, do me a favor and
30:32
don't shoot me, please. I got better aimed than that.
30:36
And Spencer keeps running as she's trying to bum rush this
30:41
thing and get a solid attack in before it has time to rehab.
30:45
Yeah, I'm not going to use any of my special notes.
30:47
I think I am just going to unleash my powers.
30:51
I do have the book here, I should just.
30:52
Open the PDF. Is it isn't it plus superior for
30:56
only share power? Oh, it's plus freak.
30:58
Oh God. OK, that's fine.
31:00
That's plus one for me. Oh good, I rolled the four.
31:06
That's a 5 total. But that means get excited
31:10
everybody. If this would actually load, I
31:13
have reached the final mark in my potential, so I get to take
31:19
another move for my playbook and I will be taking the punch
31:23
everyone ability in case anybody's wondering.
31:26
OK, Yeah. Fair enough.
31:27
Yes. Which lets me shift my danger up
31:30
when I run headlong into a fight without thinking about it, as
31:34
long as I shift one of my other, one of my other.
31:40
Yeah, you can sit down, one down.
31:42
Yeah, so I am going to shift my danger up, I guess.
31:45
OK, so I'll let you do an automatic that if you if you
31:51
want to level up straight away, it's a guaranteed hit.
31:54
OK, yeah, I'm going to bring my danger up to three and I'm going
31:58
to bring my mundane down to -2 for for now.
32:03
And I'm going to punch the ever loving shit out of this thing.
32:08
Very fair. Very fair.
32:10
OK, Max, what are you doing? Well, there is an audience and
32:17
they are watching, so I guess, I guess Max is going to use stage
32:22
fighting. And you know what, I think Max,
32:25
I think Max is getting kind of PODI think he's just he's he's
32:30
watching his teammates like run into this stupid fucking fight
32:38
that really none of them should be a part of.
32:41
Well, maybe Murphy, but Spencer and Matt is definitely not.
32:45
And they're just running in and forgetting all of the training
32:48
that we worked on for the past week.
32:51
And as soon as you see a fucking tentacle woman, everything is
32:56
out the fucking door. And I think Max is just just
33:00
like, why don't you fucking listen to me?
33:03
And when he does that, he's going to let out a burst of
33:09
light to try and draw aggro from Cilla so that Murphy and Spencer
33:15
have like an easier time hitting.
33:18
And because I'm used stage fighting, I took the anger
33:22
condition to be able to roll superior as opposed to danger,
33:27
which gives me a + 1 on this role.
33:29
And that is a dirty, filthy 4. I was fully expected to.
33:38
Almost. OK you you, you are P owed like
33:47
full on pissed off and you attempt to draw aggro from Silla
33:53
but you just fucking shoot this blast the light out and instead
33:58
of hitting Silla you hit Athena. Oh.
34:03
God, oh. Oh good.
34:07
I think you guys just hear from the background.
34:11
Great fucking. Awesome.
34:16
And as this happens, Max time slows down.
34:21
Great. As Athena approaches you, you
34:25
know, you can see Spencer running, which normally is a
34:29
fucking ferocious charge. And it just looks like she's
34:31
doing a very slow walk. And Murphy is just doing like a
34:35
slow MO, slow MO walk away from an explosion sort of walk.
34:40
And Athena comes over and touches like your face.
34:47
I imagine she's like 7 or 8 feet tall and like put places a hand
34:51
on the side of your face and she's just like be calm.
34:55
No no battle is won through anger.
34:57
So you can keep your role with superior, but you can take away
35:03
your anger condition. All right, I was not planning to
35:06
comfort or support during this scene, but OK.
35:12
Max's face softens, and he's just like, you're right, I'm
35:14
sorry. And that just happened straight
35:18
back into it. Everything speeds back up.
35:21
Athena still sat there in the crowd like nothing ever
35:24
happened. You.
35:25
Guys see that that's kind. Of weird, Yeah, that's the first
35:29
time a woman's touched you. And how long, buddy?
35:32
I'd really rather not. Talk.
35:36
About. That right now, Spencer, I don't
35:39
know why I'm pulling the mic away every time Max says
35:41
something. I just think it's funny.
35:42
I think it's funny because he is our ranged coverage right now.
35:52
Murphy, what are you doing? OK.
35:56
So I mean, I just shoot right, like.
36:00
Yeah, I'm assuming you're. Just gonna shoot.
36:03
So Spencer Spencer's directly engaged, right?
36:06
Yeah. You use that new power.
36:08
Yeah. OK, so I assume that I assume
36:10
that what was it called the Cilla, right?
36:14
Yes, I I assume Cilla is fighting back.
36:17
Oh yeah. All right, so now I'm going to
36:20
use no powers. Not nearly enough training
36:22
triggering it with the gun. So when I use this piece of gear
36:26
to directly engage a threat, unleash my powers or something
36:30
else, I can't read it. I roll an additional plus
36:32
mundane. Oh, there it is.
36:34
Yeah, I can roll plus mundane instead of the normal label.
36:36
OK. Which is perfect because I have
36:38
the highest mundane. OK.
36:40
So I will directly engage a threat using this M4A1 carbine
36:46
assault rifle. That's a nine.
36:49
OK, so I wish I knew where that bloody book was.
36:54
It's a full success. No 7:00 to 9:00.
36:58
I think you get a condition. Directly engage a threat.
37:02
A 7 to 9 pick 10. I roll no that's right, plus
37:05
mundane and a + 10 + 2 I pick two.
37:07
OK, so I am going to OK, so I can pick one of those options.
37:14
You know what I want to do? It's got all these tentacles,
37:17
right? One of my options is take
37:19
something from them. I want to shoot off at least one
37:21
of the tentacles. Oh, sick.
37:24
OK Yeah, yeah, you you do that. You shoot off this tentacle off
37:29
Silla and you can hear her writhing in pain.
37:34
And as she do this you, you feel the ground start to shake and
37:39
all the anger within the three of you begins to erupt into pure
37:45
madness. Especially for you Murphy's.
37:48
You know this is this is this is for your woman.
37:51
This is like you are fighting for love and and honour.
37:57
And as you this rage is boiling up inside you, you, you all look
38:02
up and you see that that man in the plate, the Obsidian plate
38:07
armor just drop and cleave Silla straight into with this fucking
38:12
giant flaming long sword. And he says let's.
38:15
Fucking get this started. Oh, you know everyone in this
38:22
show. Yeah, I know we ain't the only
38:25
ones rocking, but I bet that we're the only ones doing it
38:28
like this. We take the party low, it ain't
38:30
no stopping. We control the whole thing.
38:32
So clean. I might just.
38:33
Rage, rage. When I'm up on the stage stage,
38:37
we take over the front page. All my people just rage, rage
38:42
rage rage and wait by. Yeah.
38:50
Yeah.
