Today we're playing Honey Heist, a one-page RPG in which a team of bears are tasked to complete the greatest heist of all time. For a quick rundown of the rules, every action you do falls under two categories. Criminal or bear. Anything conniving, sneaky or devious demands a criminal role, while anything bear-like, roaring, mauling, rubbing yourself against a tree, I guess,

make a bear role. When you do either role, you add more points into either category, but beware, if you become full criminal or full bear, you are eliminated from the game, succumbing to greed or going on a frenzy as a goddamn bear.

So, without further ado, let's meet the characters. Let's play Honey Heist. Hello! Wow, that was sudden. Wasn't expecting that. Hello! Welcome to High Rollers Honey Heist.

Let me introduce who's going to be playing with us today. Say what? There's a fan! Rhiannon! Guest player Craigle from Craigmeer. Hello! Craig's here. Trot wasn't feeling very well Who's gonna be playing with us today? There's a fan! Riannon! Hey! Guest player Craigle from Craigmeer. Craig's here.

Trot wasn't feeling very well so at the last minute Craig's jumped in. On this side we have Katie and Tom Hazel. Trot's not feeling very well so Craig's very kindly offered to jump in. He told me that he hates charity. That's it, he did say that. Well, it's I love charity. Yeah, exactly. So Craig's decided to join us.

Love it too much, if anything. Thank you very much for joining us. Today, we're going to be playing, the first game we're going to be playing in the first half is called Honey Heist. And it is by Grant Howitt on Twitter, is the designer. And it's a very, very simple game. And we're going to make characters right now

so you can understand how the game plays. But the basic premise is the group of players will be playing a group of bears trying to pull off a heist. A honey heist. And that's basically it. Let's make some characters. Let's make some bears.

So, a honey heist is really simple. The premise of it is HoneyCon. HoneyCon 2017. 2018 in this case. You are a gang who are about to want to take the heist of the century. There's only two problems. One, you have a gang who are about to want to take the heist of the century there's only two problems one you have a complex plan that

involves perfect timing and two you are a goddamn bear yeah cool the first thing now you can choose I will allow you to

pick where you want to be or you can roll for it which is a bit more fun the first step in character creation is you choose your descriptor

your bear type, and your roll as well. So you can roll dice for it. It's a d6 for each one. Okay. Or you can just pick. I'm going. You're going to roll? I'm going to roll. Yeah. Okay. So let's roll for your descriptor. Descriptor. So 1d6

for Rhiannon. You are a 1. You're the rookie. Rookie bear. So you're the rookie bear. Now roll another d6 to determine what type of bear you are. A six. You're a honey badger. So you're the rookie honey badger on the team. Now that gives you the special bear skill

carnage, which I'll tell you how you can use that later. And then last you need to determine your role in the team. So you're the brains. So you're the rookie honey badger brains. So make a note of those.

That's so good. Perfect. We'll go around the table, figure everybody else out. So Katie, I know you had an idea of at least what type of bear you want to be. Can I be an incompetent polar bear? Yes. And then do you want to roll for your roll? Roll the roll. Roll the roll. Cheryl, roll the roll. D6.

I'm the face. The face. So you're an incompetent polar bear face. So expect to do lots of talking, so make a note of that. Great. That's fantastic. We'll save Craigle for last. Precious boy. Cool. Well, I'm going to roll. I am unhinged.

You're an unhinged. You are an unhinged. I'm an unhinged honey badger. And I am the hacker. The hacker. Because you're an unhinged honey badger hacker. Cool. Unhinged. I think that fits better for a honey badger. So, Craig. Yeah. So, you roll the dice.

Does it have to be different to the ones we've already got? It doesn't have to be. So, you can have two of the same. You can have two honey badgers. We've got two honey badgers, so you can be two of anything. So, would you like to roll or Does it have to be different to the ones we've already got? It doesn't have to be. So you can have two of the same. You can have two honey badgers. We've got two honey badgers, so you can be two of anything. So would you like to roll or would you like to pick? Oh, I might pick. Sure.

It's just going to end up being the honey badgers, isn't it? Do you want to know what it is? Sure. Yes, I would like to know, yes. I'll let you know. I've picked, so it's easy. Tell us. It's an easy one.

Go on. You could also roll if you are struck by indecision I'm undecisive okay you know you ready yeah three two no I'm gonna tell you retired retired direct this down yes how do you spell it? No, but it is. So it's on the sheet there. What's the next part? So next you need to determine what type of bear you are. Yeah, I know. I am... I'm so glad we invited you today, Craig.

What are the things in brackets for? Those are their special skills. Okay. Your special bear skills. So a polar can swim. A panda can eat anything that looks like bamboo. Mm-hmm. Useful.

My theory is if I'm incompetent, I don't need to do anything well. It's true. Okay, I'm gonna be... Tell us, Craig. Four. What are you gonna be? Three, two, one. No. What is it?

I'm gonna tell you right now. Okay, tell us right now. I am gonna be a grizzly. Grizzly bear. So what's their special skill? Grizzly polar bear. Terrify. Grizzly... Polar bear. Terrify. You wanna be both? I'm terrifying at swimming. Grizzly bear. So what's their special skill? Grizzly polar bear. Terrifying. Grizzly polar bear. You want to be both?

I'm terrifying at swimming. Terrifying at swimming. I'm terrifying off to you. You're combining hybrid grizzly polar bear. Yeah. Sure. Can I be that? Sure.

Can I have both powers? You're a special guest. You can have both powers. What the hell? What? Golden boy. You should be more of a special guest, Tom. Yeah.

I also want to be. Nope. You don't get anything. You get nothing. You get nothing. I think I think I want something else as well and what role you can only pick one of these okay we got brains and face and yeah you're the brains right Right, that's it. So the other options are what? Muscle, driver, and thief. Driver. You can tell me what to do. I'm going to be the muscle.

Muscle. So you're the muscle. Excellent. Perfect. So that is step one. Who are you going to be? I'm the GM. I will be everything and everyone that isn't you four.

So the next thing is to explain how stats work. You have, there are two stats in this game. Bear and criminal. You start with three points in each. Okay. That's it. Bear. So I would note down... Do I have a tally or something? I would make a tally

because you're going to be changing points between the two frequently. I'll put it down the bottom. Yes. And how long are we going to have to go down? I mean, I'll give you a separate piece of paper if you need more. Okay, I'll start the board. There's more paper here. There's more paper, Craig. Don't worry, we've got plenty of paper.

Bear and thief. Yeah. Or criminal. Crim. Get it right. Crim. Crim. And three in each.

Yes, three in each. So when you act and the outcome is in doubt, you roll a d6. If it's equal to or under the relevant stat, bear or criminal, you succeed. If it's over the stat, you fail. If you're using your bear special skill or doing something related to your roll, you roll 2d6 and pick the lowest. So really simple. The way this game works in the way that you are at risk is you're constantly in the

in the process of changing states between bear and criminal whenever you become frustrated which is when the plan fails and you run into difficulty you move one point from criminal into bear when you when the plan goes off without a hitch

and you have greed you move one point from bear into criminal okay you can voluntarily move one point from bear to criminal by doing a You can voluntarily move one point from bear to criminal by doing a flashback scene in which you're all in a seedy bar planning your iced. Right.

You can also voluntarily move one point from criminal into bear by eating a shitload of honey. Okay. Okay. If you ever reach six points in criminal or bear, you're effectively out of the game. If you get six points in criminal, you become overwhelmed by greed,

betraying your own party, and making off with as much of the honey as you possibly can. Right. If you get six points into bear, you flip out, go on a rampage, and likely get taken in by animal control. Oh, cool. You have to try and keep them even. You have to try and keep, well, you never want to be maximum. You don't want to go full bear, and you don't want to go full criminal. Okay. Cool. Right? Too dangerous try and keep them even. You have to try and keep... Well, you never want to be maximum... You don't want to go full bear and you don't want to go full criminal. Okay.

Cool. Right? Too dangerous. That is the game. That's every rule. There is a little handy thing on your sheet which is about changing states. I especially like the little bears.

Well, there is also... There's little drawings of bears. Also, one last thing. There is also a bonus hat table which allows you to roll to see if you're wearing an awesome hat. Yes. Would you like to roll

to see if you have an awesome hat, Rihanna? I would like to roll for hat. 1d8. I would like to roll for hat. Roll for hat. A six. A fez. You have a fez. I'm going to roll for hat. Roll for hat. A bowler hat. Bowler hat. Where are you seeing this? It's in the big box.

It's in the big box. I also fez. Nice. Nice. We'll probably do some detailing on who you're It's in the big box. I... Ooh, I've got a Fez. Nice! We'll probably do some detailing on who your bear is and connections, but I'm getting a sibling vibe from Tom and Rhiannon. Like twins.

Twin honey badgers, both in Fezzes. It's kind of perfect. Craig, would you like to roll for hat? I don't have to. You don't have to. You don't have to. You don't have to roll for hat. You don't have to have a hat. You don't have to have a hat. Does it give me any powers?

Maybe. I'm looking super awesome. That's pretty powerful. I might mess up my hair. Well, don't. Don't have a hat then. Oh, no. What kind of hair does your bear have?

I'll see what I have, but I might take it off over there. Okay, sure. If you roll an eight, you have a chance to wear two hats. My hat has little ear holes in it. Yeah, they all do. Little ear holes. They all have ear holes. How you roll an eight, you have a chance to wear two hats. My hat has little ear holes in it. Yeah, they all do. Little ear holes. They all have ear holes. How else would your

ear stick out? It's a crown. He gets a crown. Got an eight. It's a seven. No, you get a crown. Don't lie, Craig. Got a crown.

He's got a crown. You don't have to wear the crown. I won't wear it all the time. Okay. What, the crown? Just when, no, but it... It's the best one.

It might fall off. Yeah, it's the best one. You've got to keep it nice. Right. I've got like a little case for it. Sure. I'll read it. Where do I write this?

Craig did come in today with a 20-page backstory for his character, by the way. Excellent. I'm looking forward to it. No, you're not prep. Talking of backstory, we need to come up with a name. And I'd like to know a little bit about your bear. How did they get into a life of crime? Who might they...

If they have any friends or allies? Are we definitely criminal by this point? I mean, you've got three points in criminal. We've also got three in bear. So it's like equilibrium, right? Yeah. You have a life of crime, but you are still a bear. So if there's six points into bear,

then I'm not a criminal. I would say you would no longer be a criminal, you would be a captured bear. Captured, okay. Captured, yes. Take notes. So the optimal good bear is five in bear and one in criminal. Yeah, that's the kind of bear that steals like penny sweets

out of the corner shop and, you know, maybe like nicks a newspaper once or twice. It's not too bad. Okay. Anybody got any ideas? Names? Yeah. Rory. Rory. Names? Rory.

Rory. So we have Rory. Male bear? I've been watching Gilmore Girls. Is it male bear or female bear? Male bear. Male bear. So male polar bear called Rory.

And he's incompetent. Yeah, I feel like he probably just stumbled into it. So is he just kind of nice? A bit like a Tim Nice But Dim bear. I feel he's a bit dim. He probably just stumbled into the life of crime. But he's very lovable. Everyone loves him.

Yeah. And can he speak? Because that is an optional thing. No. If you're not a talking bear, per se. Oh, it says you're not a talking bear, per se, but you can sort of mangle human speech. So you can kind of be like,

That's how you all speak. You can talk to each other, fine. Okay. You can talk to each other using bear language. He probably just makes noises. But humans can't really, you can try and speak to them. I'll try, but he's probably really good at it. Okay, all right, perfect.

What sort of noise does a honey badger make? They're like, They're like insane. Mine doesn't talk, then. Okay. We can talk to each other. No. I'm a...

Oh, God. It's already begun. It's Roots Gambit all over again. My bear's name is Nicholas. Nicholas. Right. And he wears a T-shirt that says, focused, intelligent, motivated, oh, and cute.

Which I think is quite a sassy t-shirt, isn't it? Right. What does it spell? He's the bear Nick Sassy Tease. Wow. Bear Nick Sassy Tease. I said a bear pun to you earlier, and you just straight up walked out of the room.

Did you Google that? Oh, no. I said a bear pun to you earlier and you just straight up walked out of the room in disgust Craig is so impressed I love it this is why I'm glad we invited Craig he's just a newbie to the club okay so we have Nicholas, Nick Sassy Tees Nick Sassy Tees, the bear Nick Sassy Tees

right perfect a honey badger. Yeah. Excellent. And tell us a bit about Nicholas. What kind of bear is he? What's he like? He's a hacker.

Yeah, he's a hacker. He's unhinged, I think. I mean, he's a honey badger. Right. Just in the blood, in the family. How did he learn to be a hacker? In the family. Are we criminals that have been turned into...

I can't remember. No, no. You're... No. You're bears that aren't criminals. What is this? Some sort of D&D? Have we been turned into bears?

I'm just trying to figure out... Sorry, there are rules for magic on here, Tom Hayes. I'm just trying to figure out how a bear could be a hacker. That's... Tell us. Pay attention, Tom.

I think his style of hacking is just tearing into it. I'm hoping it works. If he eats enough wires, eventually one of them will be the right one. I like to think that his hair is like static. He's got like big spikes. Yeah, his burnt singed hair, but he's still got enough. He's fine enough to wear some sassy tees.

Yeah. Right. He's got a store of those. I'm going to say it one more time. He's the wear some sassy tees yeah right yeah he's got a store of those i'm gonna say it one more time he's the bear next ass it is oh that pun wouldn't work um over on the other side of the table uh do we have names ideas for names yeah concepts cool uh so i'm gonna be called ted ted ted ted the honey badger ted the Honey Badger. Excellent. So you're the rookie. Rookie. So you're fresh in. Okay. So, hmm.

I feel like, obviously I'm new. I'm new to this kind of thing. But I think, I like to think I'm quite smart, but I'm not actually that smart. Yeah. You're the typical kind of know-it-all teenager. Yeah. Who's like, I know everything. That's an avid clue.

I grew up on the streets. I'm a honey badger. I know what I'm doing. And do we have a familial relation between Ted and Nick Sassy Tees? I think you should. Are you Ted Sassy Tees? Ted Sassy Tees, yeah. Okay. Doesn't quite work. So, the Honey Badger Brothers.

And perhaps that's how you've been brought into this life of crime, is through your bro. Twins! Twinsies! Twinsies! You were first born, so you get the good name. Yeah. The pun didn't quite extend. We were like, I'm just calling Ted.

Kind of a bear. Teddy. Okay. And then Craigle. Do you have a name? Yep. Tell us. I'm going to tell you in a minute. Right now. Please do have a name? Yep. Tell us. I'm going to tell you in a minute. I'll do it right now. Please do.

You ready? Yep. If you do this every time, it's going to be a very slow game. It's going to be a very slow game. His name is Mr. Bear, like Bear Grylls. Yep. But Bear, Barrington. Mr. Bear Brylls. Yeah. But Bear... Barrington.

Mr. Bear Barrington. Okay. A very regal sounding bear. Yeah, well, he is. He's retired, so... He's retired. He's an older bear, so he's kind of gray. He's a grizzly polar bear as well.

Grizzly polar bear. Very rare. Endangered. Two skills. Pizzly, if you will. Yeah. He's muscly, though. He's the muscle.

Pizzly, if you will. So he's kind of got that, you know, the classic the old guy uh what's the character from sin city the one who's like a you know old kind of tough guy he's like a bruce willis you're like a bruce you'd be voiced by bruce willis if this were an animated movie okay yeah but it's not so i'm here so it's not, so I'm here. So it's great. That's me. Yeah. I love it. But he's retired. So how am I, if I'm retired. You've been pulled back in for one last job.

But, you know, this is the big score. Can I be, like, you know, I was only one week from retirement. Sure, yeah, absolutely. So nearly retired. Nearly retired. So he's on his way to retirement. But this one last job, this is going to set him up.

This is the score. Yeah. It's going to buy you the dream you've always wanted. And there's probably going to be a bit where I regret it and I'll be like, damn, I was only one week from retirement. I think there's going to be a bit where you die and we'll all say, oh, he was only one week from retirement. Perfect.

What I'm interested in is how did Bear Barrington get the crown? Did he steal it? Is this his crown? Is he a king? Yep. Please know, Dan, you his crown? Is he a king? Yep. Please know down you are king. I'm a king. Oh my god.

Come on up me. King. Didn't steal it though. They're tired. You just said you did. He's a bit. No, I'm a king. You are a king. He's a pizley bit. Did you say I'm a king or a stole it? It's up to you. It's up to you. I'm a king. I'm a retired nearly a king. He's a Pizzly Bear. Wait, did you say I'm a king or a stole it? It's up to you. It's up to you. I'm a king. I'm a retired king, nearly retired king.

And then there's going to be my son be the next king bear. Okay. Yeah. What's your son's name? Oh, God. I mean, it would be Barrington, so it's Prince Barrington. Yeah. But does he have a first name?

Yep. What is it? He's going to tell you right now. It's an easy one. Go on. Here it comes. You ready? Yep, I'm ready.

I've got my notes. It's a pun. Is it? Prince Cub. Prince Cub. Prince Cub Barrington. Prince Cub Barrington. I mean, you must have a queen if you've got a son.

Oh, yeah. What's your wife's name? Are you still married or is this an ex-wife? An ex-queen? Still married. Still married? Okay. And... I'm loving this. I'm getting loads of notes. See, I've got this whole backstory done.

Yeah, yeah, go on. She's got a name as well, Mark. Yeah, please tell me. I'm ready to go when you are. Winnie. Winnie. Winnie Barrington. No, she's not. Sorry, that would be Lady Winnie Barrington.

No, Barrington. She kept her maiden name. Oh, did she? And that is... Cubbington. Cubbington. Yeah. Is that what you named the sun after

like partly the cub in Cubbington yeah they all make so much sense yeah yeah

so the family tree can we keep Craig no I don't need to know the rest actually Craig you can keep that though keep that in your head did you write that down because I can't remember

I've got it in my notes if anybody else would like to come up with any allies or you know any friends maybe you know who brought the twin

Sassy T's brothers into the life of crime how Rory got involved in such a criminal group I'd love to know we were three musketeers yes

but the third one died yes so you found me in a wild heist yes it was the last job we had yes he was called oh barry barry sassy teas very sassy teas like barry barry barry sassy teas um he died in the last heist so we had to find a new team nice um we're orphans We grew up on the streets. Yeah, and also... No, that's good.

Okay, okay, Rory's just here. Rory's just here. So, stop. Hi, guys. Perfect. We need some protection. I forgot, my son's last name is Double Barrel, so it's Barrington Covington.

So his name's Cub Barrington Covington. Cub Barrington Covington. I was writing this down because... Yeah, no, it's important information. I've got it. Just in case. Well, with that in mind, let me set the scene.

It is HoneyCon 2018. The premier event for Honey Efficonados the world over. This year, the event is being held in the gorgeous city of North Pemberton near the US-Canada border. A beautiful, snowy, scenic town surrounded by pine woods and mountains and beautiful lakes. There's a little cable car that heads up to a ski resort in the mountains. And it's frequented by

rich, you know, tourists and people trying to get away. And there's also, obviously, being on the border, the occasional black market deal that goes down. There's a darker side to North Pemberton. We see, if this were a movie we'd see the camera pan in um on a very very busy looking convention center with banners for honey con 2018 kind of draped everywhere uh people in bee costumes like

oh like going around people doing honey tastings, all sorts of things. Obviously a huge event, so lots and lots of people there. And from a kind of shadowy alleyway, you know, maybe reading a newspaper or somehow we see four bears kind of peering over these newspapers that they're holding in their giant clawed hands. Not that type of bear, Tom. I know what you're thinking. So everyone around us also bears? No, they're humans. I do not understand this universe.

You are four bears, a polar bear, a grizzly polar bear, and two honey bears. Humans are hosting... Who else would be hosting Honeycon, Tom? Okay, I have to say, I thought we were in a bear world. No.

Okay. So where's the fun in that? Where's the human world? And we're bears. We're the only four bears. You're the only four bears. In the human Pemberton. North Pemberton, yes.

City of town of North Pemberton. And humans are running HoneyCon 2017. Yes. Also, you note, next door to HoneyCon 2018 is the Honey Business Expo, where honey businesses are demoing all the latest honey products to potential investors. And you are here. You are here because the heist of the century is up for it. At Honey Business Expo, the Caramel Corp Has a briefcase of pure Manuka honey extract

Estimated to be worth 5 million dollars Whoa We don't care about money though do we I mean yeah I'm seeing that you do care He's going to be retired soon Tom How else is he going to get by He's got to pay for

Barrington Cubbington I don't have a pension Are we going to sell the honey You want to get behind? He's got to pay for Barrington-Cubbington. His future. I don't have a pension. Are we going to sell the honey? I mean, the honey's a good... You want to get the honey as well, but this manila extract is worth $5 million. Per how much?

For the whole amount. For the whole amount. But it's an extract in a briefcase. It's like a vial. So you know it's a vial inside a sealed briefcase, like a handcuffed briefcase. I bet it tastes great. It sounds vile.

I mean, you could eat it. You could absolutely eat it. Now, prior to your heist, now you've obviously researched this job for weeks. So you know that throughout the convention centre there is an extensive CCTV network. There is indeed. And there are armed guards

because bears are very common in this part of the world and they know that the bears are always after the honey. So they're all armed with tranquiliser guns and there are armed always after the honey. So they're all armed with tranquilizer guns and there are armed guards around the premises. It's also very busy so there's lots of humans. You can talk to other animals and there are potentially other animals. You can go

and try and enlist aid of other animals. Okay. But yeah, so I hand this over to you. This is a game where I'm hands off until you guys fail. At which point I will jump in. Can we speak to any other animals? You can speak to any animals. You can speak to animals as freely as you like.

You can attempt to speak to humans. Do we have disguises? Would you like to make a disguise? Make a disguise. I think we should all be in disguises. That sounds to me like if you want a disguise, each of you can make a criminal skill check. I'm going to dress up in a bear costume, just so people don't suspect me.

That might work. It might work. You do notice that around Honeycon, you see the mascots in the bee costumes, but there are also people in bear mascots and bear costumes. You know, this is very honey. There's cosplays, you know. It's a convention. That's why I'm here, because...

Well, you're the muscle. You're the brains. I was thinking of shaving my face with my claws and disguising myself as a human. Okay. Well, so it sounds like... So, Bear Bear... I can do it for you.

Can we talk to humans? You can... Yes, it does say... It's like reverse talk to do. You can kind of mangle human speech. So you're like... But that would think of this role playing as bears. Possibly.

If we dress up as bears. So it sounds like you want to dress yourself up as a bear in a bear costume. Of course. Right, so that is going to be a criminal skill check. Got it. So that is roll a d6 and you need to get equal to or under a criminal skill check. Got it. So that is roll a d6, and you need to get under your, equal to or under your criminal skill. So you get three or less.

And I would say that this is not in any of your, this is not related to being a muscle. Okay. So I've got to get under three or over? Three or under. Three or under. Yeah. Let's see what you get.

See how good your disguise is. Just roll it. One. One. So Bear Barrington, you've obviously come prepared. You roll it. One. One. So, Bear Barrington, you've obviously come prepared. You're used to this.

This is, you've been doing this job. I've done a honeycomb before. Exactly. I was here last year. And you have, in your, you know,

stored away in the alleyway, you have this perfect bear costume. Kind of padded things. Obviously, it's very large. It fits you quite snugly. But to a passerby

who doesn't expect you closely, you will appear to be somebody in a bear costume. Not a bear, that's for sure. I believe that, Ted, your attempt was to disguise yourself as a human. Yes.

So you're going to shave your face and then what are you doing with the rest of your body? Because honey badgers are smaller. Yeah. Can I work with you on this one? I want to be the legs. Yeah, you can? You can. I want to be the legs. Yeah, you can be the legs.

I want to be the legs. So you're going to be like two of you in a coat. Yep, trench coat. Trench coat. Two bears in a trench coat. Two bears trench coat. With a fez on top. Now, who's the top and who's the left? You can take my fez.

You've got two fezes. Double fez. Fez make cheer. Are you the legs? I'm the legs. She's the brains. Okay, so you can both make criminal checks. As you're the brains, I will let you roll 2d6

and you can take the lowest of this. Let's see if you get it. Five and four. Three. Okay. So I pass. So between the two of you, you manage to create a disguise. You source a long enough trench coat.

You find, like, a little turtleneck to go underneath it. You get the fezzes. But the shaving of the face doesn't quite go. People will think you're a very hideously Scarred human You're not going to be a very nice person To look at They'll look at me less

Potentially Rory, what are you doing? I've seen what The king has done over there King Bear Bearing Would you be like one of his people? You're a polar bear and he's a pizzle. I love how I'm just a king now.

Pizzly bear. Pizzler. Because of the crown. I don't know. I've seen what he's done. I've noticed the mascot costumes, but instead of being sensible and going for a bear one, I'm going to try and make myself into the bee one.

I'm going to put on a bee one. Spray pink. Okay, perfect. Yeah, and like maybe if I need to spray my face like yellow and black stripes. Okay, well I think roll a criminal check. I would also actually say by the way, because your

disguise didn't go entirely to plan that would be a point of frustration so you can take one point from criminal into bear please. I shall. That was a fail so I look fantastic. Okay you do look fantastic. You have like the head of a bee and wings but you didn't

really source the rest of the outfit so you've just had to paint yourself black and yellow. Which you know being a polar bear you're white underneath so it was a good base to go with. It's a good base. But I think that very similarly let's move one point from criminal into bear. Okay.

You're a bit frustrated. It doesn't, you know, you're not sure if this is worked 100%. Don't look as good as it does. Okay, so you have disguises. So what's the plan? Okay, so. What do we know? Briefcase in there.

Okay. That's all Mark told us. Yeah, you don't know where Briefcase in there. OK. That's all Mark's got. Yeah, you don't know where the briefcase is. You know it's owned by something called Caramel Corn. Wouldn't they be displaying it somewhere? Yeah, maybe. So wouldn't it be on the leaflet? Would you like to go and get a leaflet?

Of the convention center. So you're going to go source a convention center map. Yeah. Do we think that's the best way to go? I think being an unhinged tiny badger we need to find someone, lure them into the alleyway Take the skies!

Take them! Take them? Steal their map. We need to tear someone to shreds. That's what I'm saying. We need to make ribbons out of a human being and then take their map. And then we'll know exactly what to do in the convention centre. We need to make ribbons out of a human being and then take them out and then we'll know exactly what to do

In the convention set can we need to kill someone? I want to kill Yeah We can just like make them really quiet I can squish them we can squish them and make them quiet Hush them with my claws and my teeth. No, no. Very aggressive. No, no, it's too... If someone finds it, they might... I could hug them instead. I don't know if I want to be this grizzly.

They won't find them. Because I'm... No, it'll be fine. So I don't really want to... Well, I mean, yeah, what do you guys want to do? Sounds like there's a division in the team. I mean, you can go off Barrington. If you want to go off and...

I might just go and try and find a leaflet while you do that. Okay. Go pick up a human. Okay. So, Rory sneaks out of the alleyway, big bee head around their

face, yellow and black striped body with wings and you begin making your way over to the humans gathering around the convention centre whilst the two honey badger twins lurk in the shadows waiting. Bear Barrington

stalks off to try and locate some sort of map or leaflet or something like that. It's the easier way. So we'll go with Bear Barrington to start with. There we go you make your way over um and in your perfect bear disguise uh dressed as a bear um you begin making your way over it you don't seem to draw anyone's attention a few people come up tourists like oh can we take a picture with you take a picture and like they want to try and take selfies with the

bear costume it's absolutely fine so you're like big big hands around a little bit because like back home i'm the king yeah So all the other bears are like, I want to get a picture with the king. I'm really down with the kids as well. So I'm like, yeah, sure, selfie. Where did you get your costume from? A bear shop. So it's like, bear drink!

He talks like a bear! I got it from the bear costume shop. So they can't understand us? No, well, if you try to mangle human speech, you can... But it comes out like... Yeah, and they're like, oh, funny he's being a bear.

So they take your picture, and you're beginning to gather quite a bit of a crowd around you at this point, and this many people, there's a chance that they're going to kind of see inside the mouth and see that you are not actually a man inside a bear costume and you

certainly gather a load of people around you what you like to do I mean they're not gonna see that I'm a bear because I'm in a costume well there's you know there's a lot of them around have they questioned it though not yet well then I think I think that they might start cottoning on but until they say it okay this is fine okay I. Everything's fine. If they ask, I'm just a bear inside a bear inside a bear costume. Okay. So you start taking...

No, I'm not. I'm not inside a bear. A bear inside a bear inside a bear costume. Like Bearception. So you start taking more and more pictures, and yeah, they begin to become a bit more suspicious. I'd like you to roll for me. So if you're not trying to scare them away,

if you're just trying to pass yourself off, that sounds like another criminal test. So a d6 and you need to get your bear or criminal or lower. Criminal score or lower. Criminal score or lower. Okay. Surely this is being good though because I'm not like...

Yeah, I'm being... This is deception. This is more about like trying to deceive you. This is a very human-like deception you're trying to do. You're trying to be a man. Yeah, you're not trying to be a bear. It's not very bear-like

to deceive you. Two. What? You pull it off. Your expertise being a king, you kind of put your arms around people, but you know to kind of

keep people at distance. You take a photo and then you quickly move on to the next group. You know how to work a crowd that's clamoring for your attention. And eventually you manage

to take pictures of everybody. You move off. And a crowd that's clamoring for your attention. And eventually you manage to take pictures with everybody, you move off, and at the welcome booth, you go up and you present your Honeycomb ticket, which the four of you have, and the lady there is just like, oh, hello there, Mr. Barrington.

Very lovely. Wonderful. Well, here is your Honeycomb pack thank you your welcome pack there's a map of the yes there's a map

of the convention centre in here it also has your badge does it have the special briefcase on it the special briefcase I have no idea I must be going

that sort of thing is probably more likely to be over in the the honey business expo which you've only got a ticket for the convention centre. Yes. Can I get one of those? Oh no, you have to get those in advance I'm afraid so they're only

for companies you see. Oh. You're welcome to enjoy HoneyCon, there's many wonderful exhibits, honey tasting. What's the main kind of thing that you do at this convention level? Mainly eat honey. Mainly honey? Mainly eating honey. Nice. But there are, you know, there's... Marmalade um but there are you know marmalade absolutely of course all different types of things uh you can buy nice no mom i'm afraid

no no sir um but yes merchandise uh there's there's rinds um there's the photo experience can i buy some honey of course yes of course you can buy the finest honey ever here sir um but here's your here's your welcome pack, and I hope you have a lovely time at HoneyCon. Thank you very much. You've been very kind. We cut back to... We have tickets to the convention?

Yeah, but not the business expo. You've bought the tickets, yeah. Damn it, I didn't know that. But not the business expo. We're about to tear a few pieces. But not the business. It sounds like, you know, it sounds like not to the business expo.

So, Rory, you kind of go out in your big bee costume and... And I use the distraction of him being a big photo attraction. Yeah, absolutely. So you kind of go out while Barrington is getting his photo taken. And it's not that people are immediately, holy shit, there's a bear dressed as a bee. There's just some sort of

like strange, oh, that's really weird. Why is that guy like a bear and a bee? They don't quite get it. So you just wave at them. What are you trying to do? Are you going to try and entice them over? Are you just waving or are you going and speaking to them?

I'm really, I'm likable. So I feel like I could be like, uh-oh. So are you playing, what are you using? Like, are you just trying to be welcoming or are you trying to use your, like, cuddliness as a bear? Cuddliness as a bear, for sure. Well, that sounds like you're going to just trying to be welcoming or are you trying to use your like cuddliness as a bear cuddliness as a bear okay for sure

well that sounds like you're gonna be making a bear check but you are the face so you can roll 2d6 and take the lowest three three so uh yeah they're like

oh look what a door how he's adorable I'm so cute you see I mean I'll roll I'll roll a little dice here

for myself to see... I'll say it evens or odds. Odds. You see this really greasy head, big sort of like beard all the way down the neck, little bit kind of like overweight, wearing a very tight Honeycomb 2002 shirt.

It's stained with honey stains. His fingers are all sticky. He's like, oh, look at this bear. You're a cute fella, aren't you? And he comes waddling up like, hello, little fella. Can we get a picture together?

Okay. He just follows you. Better night. And he's like looking at your little tail And he's like And he follows you into it anyway Can I just walk out and then I'd imagine these are waiting to pounce

They're like these little Honey banner ninjas Does he have honey on him? Well let's see if he spots you Possibly he might have some honey on him Let's see if he spots you So Possibly he might have some honey on him. Let's see if he spots you. So both of you make criminal checks for me.

Shit. So he comes in and you're trying to find the shadow. He's like, what's this? Have you got some friends here? And he just sees these. It's your one person. So it's just this trench coat looking fella. He's like, what are you here for, mate?

You want to get into the expo? All right. I mean, you can see him becoming a little bit wary. He's like, well, you need a ticket. The door is just like... He's like, oh no, it's happening again. I'm opening the coat and I'm laundering it. body. So no, it's happening again. Ah! I'm opening the coat and I'm laundering out everything.

You just throw the ball in. So that's a bear roll for sure. So I failed the criminal one, so am I more bear now? No, I wouldn't say. I think that was just setting up for the heist as general. Two. I bear the shit out of you.

No! You just hear these kind of you hear these like screams of like, oh god, no! And blood just kind of coats the alleyway. Or he's just going to

scoot back a bit so it doesn't get on his little white fur. He's got your black and yellow fur now. Well, yeah. I'm a honey badger. I'm unhinged.

So Nicholas emerges. You look up, smothered in blood, as the body of this honey nerd is before you. And you can see that he's got his welcome pack. He also has a jar of honey, obviously. So you can write down you have a jar of honey. And a welcome pack. Nice.

And I think as you finish mooring him, Bear Barrington returns to the alleyway and you see this mutilated corpse on the ground. Rory just waves. Just staring at him like I'm just frozen. I'm like, I'm a thief. Got my pack. Rory just waves. Just staring at him like, I'm just frozen. I'm like, I'm a bee.

Got my puck. We got our puck. Did these guys not have tickets? They did. Did they know they had tickets? You got the leaflet. Probably not. Nice. Rory doesn't know what's going on. Looking at the convention map, you can see all the various stands.

And Caramel Core has a stand in the Honey Business Expo but it does say that at 8pm tonight there will be an unveiling of the special Manuka honey extract which they intend to use in their new line of products

and it's a VIP event, it's a special event after hours for the Manuka honey extract. But you can see it layout. So now, anytime you make a check, I'll say anytime you make a check that involves the layout of the convention somehow, like if you're trying to plan exits or escapes and things like that,

you can now have a minus one, effectively. You get a bonus to the roll because you now have the map. And you have two convention passes to get into the main because you now have the map um and you have two convention passes to get into the main convention but not the business we only have two passes well until the others go and collect their packs yes okay shit so uh this honey thing is in the business place tonight but we're not allowed in. What are we going to do about that? Is this now where we decide, right? Yeah, so I would say, well, at any point

you guys can have a flashback to move a point from bear to criminal and you can basically describe something which you're doing that's going to help you in the heist. So you could, one of you could do a flashback or you could all do a flashback to say that you set up a fake company that you registered for honey business Expo I'd like to know the name of the company and what you've claimed that it does

Because you also have meetings booked business Oh Would we not have did we do this in advance? Well, we'll say this is a flashback So well, basically we see as you're kind of like, Bear Barrington puts the map down. He's like, what are we going to do? And then it's one of you turns, whoever's going to make the check,

turns around and says like, ah, don't worry, I've already planned ahead. So who's going to become the crim? What's the plan? Rookie. I think your brains, this seems like a rookie move to be able to make. So you kind of thought ahead. And so you can shift one point from bear to plan. Rookie. I think this, your brains, this seems like a rookie move to be able to make. So you kind of thought ahead.

Okay. And so you can shift one point from bear to criminal. Okay. And then tell us this flashback sequence. Can we all do that if we're all in the flashback car?

If you resisted in it, yeah, sure. We only have to do that if we're about to do something there, right? Yeah, well this is you basically having a flashback. This is you planning ahead

that you've set something up that you're going to use now. But only Rhiann has to do that at the moment? Yes. Okay. Until we react to what she's done. Potentially. Okay. So you went back, so we have a flashback to you in the bar and you are

setting up a fake business for Honey Business Expo. What is the name of the company and what do you do? Name. Others can help do you do? Name. Others can help if you want. Yeah. Go on.

You got one? Here it comes. You ready? Go on then. What are we saying that we're selling? Are we saying that we have our own honey to sell? You just said you had something. I have a name.

Here's a name. I'm just checking the end of it. Selling honey accessories. Honey accessories is what I'm selling. Honey accessories, okay. So the name of our company is a funny one. Honey Accessories, Inc. Sounds legit, right? Honey Accessories, Inc.

Sounds legit, right? Only Accessories, Inc. I can't say. I've got the Twitter tag already. Yeah, obviously. I've got that set up. Okay, well, if you're going to help the rookie with this, shift one point from bear to criminal.

Am I helping? I just gave her the name. You've also registered the Twitter handle. You've registered the Twitter handle. I have handle we've been tweeting for weeks on this I'm being verified am I rolling or am I moving one point from bear to criminal what was the twitter handle

what's the twitter handle it's like a so the name of the company is honey accessories ink so the twitter handle is So the name of the company is Honey Accessories Inc. So the Twitter handle is at Honey Accessories Inc. That's too long. That's too long to be a Twitter handle, though. You need to be in this world, bro.

You could have Hon-Ack Inc. No, it's not that. What do you mean, in this world? Honey-ack. It's underscore, underscore, honey ink. Honey ink. Because honey ink was taken by some 11-year-old. Yeah, so underscore, underscore, honey ink.

Nice. X, underscore, honey. Just one underscore was free, but I shook as I pressed it. X, underscore, ink, underscore, X. Well, you are a bet. So you're on the computer on a laptop that you've stolen. It's also maybe not honey ink. It's also not honey. It's like a mangled mess of the words honey and ink.

No, it's perfectly spelt. Okay, fine. There's two underscores in front. I mean, he is. He's like that. Yeah. Okay. So you make, you have this, you have it registered.

You, inside your pack, obviously, you know, you go and get your business pack. And there is indeed a ticket to Honey Business Expo, which also includes a new up and coming company Caramel Corp has invited you to the Manuka extract but you'll be surrounded by other honey businesses and it is under

guard, the briefcase. Is Honey Dew Inc there? Yes. Hi Ian. Yogs Cast. Yogs Cast, Jingle Jam donate. well we are invited because as a hacker I view

I follow the shit out of that so it's got like 20,000 followers it's got a stupid amount of followers

but only like two tweets going to honey and one of them is love honey I mean I think that also sounds

like you should move a shit from bed to room. But it shows that we have a present. Yeah, absolutely. Good thinking. Good presents, though. What was your name again? Do we have the accessories?

What are the actual accessories that we have? The little honey dipper things. Spoons? Spoons. Honey spoons. Honey dippers. Yes. Like maybe bottle tops for your bottles of honey to stop them getting sticky and clump up. Like sports caps for like, so you can honey dippers. Yes. Like, maybe bottle tops for your bottles of honey

to stop them, like, getting sticky and clump up. Like sports caps for, like, so you can take them on the go. This is an absolutely good idea. Like, don't say it will be good. Okay. I'll carry the accessories. Okay, so you load up. Do you get out of your bee costume?

No, no. No, you stay in the bee costume. But we actually had to make all these accessories. No. So we just got like a catalog. You got like a fake website. Okay. Yeah.

I was going to say that's very expensive. So it's all part of the plan. It's all part of the plan. Right. So you load Rory up with the accessories and you two are back in your French coat. He's just like spoons and stuff, really. Right. He's just got a lot of spoons so that if someone asks for an accessory to eat honey, he can go

eagle. It's like a spoon with a sticker on it or something like that. That evening, you make your way to the VIP party. There are many people dressed in fine suits eating canapes, drinking champagne. Not as fine as ours, though.

Well, there's a little bit of a kind of surprised look when they see these bears kind of wandering in. Or this man in a trench coat that's wobbling to and fro. I've put a tux over my bear suit. Bear costume, okay. Over my bear. And the thing is

obviously, I think when you sit up the Twitter account, the tweets you've done is you make a joke like, oh, our CEO's a real bear, and you've got the bear suit on, so it's like, and he's like a grumpy businessman. And so everyone's like, oh, Mr. Barrington!

Oh, well, we're very pleased to have you here at the Hollywood Business Expo. We made that tweet, our CEO is a real bear, and then rapidly tried to, like, pedal backwards from it, like, he's a human human not an actual bear we make a joke that he's like a bear not an actual bear

but look he's dressed like one here he is he's a human he loves honey so much that he may as well be a bear it's got little watermarks on it but they've seen like the photo of like the fake costume and things like that. And so they come up and they're like,

Oh, Mr. Barrington, we're so pleased to have you here at Honeymoon. My name is Duke Wembley Basil Roosevelt. I'm the convention planner. It's wonderful to have you here. Nice to meet you, Duke. Thank you very much. You've got a bit of a hoarse voice. Are you feeling well?

Yes, hoarse voice, not the bear voice, that's for sure. Oh, what a can! Anyway, well, I hope you have a wonderful time. We're very much looking forward to discussing business opportunities with you. Please enjoy the event. Yes, very good, yes. Fucking bear peeves. Lovely to meet you.

Thank you Yes We're mad Pours out a little bit of honey Yes very good Heads off I punch Ted I'm like

I want the honey I want the honey So yeah So inside the room You can see it's a Large open plan Kind of museum Where there are honey displays

Of various honey devices And honey products inside the room you can see it's a large open plan kind of museum where there are honey displays of various honey devices and honey products. But in the middle is a roped off area with two armed guards and they are in front of a kind of glass cabinet in which you can see the

vial of this Manuka honey and one of them has the briefcase handcuffed to his hand. And you can see it and there are CCTV cameras, at least and one of them has the briefcase handcuffed to his hand and you can see it and there are CCTV cameras, at least a few of them, watching the room. What would you guys like to do? We need to get close. I notice

that the briefcase is very similar to the one that I carry my crown in. Just been out there. That's just something that's going on in my head at the moment. Are there any cables coming from the CCTV camera? Oh yeah, you can and you know the location

of the security room because you picked up the map. Yeah, we do. Why would they put the security room? It's a government requirement by North. It's like the exact blueprint. It's very handy. It's very handy exact Blueprint with measurements Yeah It's a very odd It's very handy

It's very handy Yeah Okay Well I guess Kate Oz is you You have no control Over this I'm like knocking

On your head Like let's go In that case I blindly stumble Being led by Kate Oz So Ted I'd like you to give me

A criminal check To try and navigate Your way to the security room. Perfect. So you manage to use, like, you pull on your brother's hair. That's my cheery style. Yeah, and you, like, direct him. So you have this man who, like, wobbles around

and makes these sudden movements and, like, wanders around everywhere as he wobbles his way. So you guys are making your way to the security area to disable the CCTV. Meanwhile, there is a large crowd. Obviously, they're all inspecting the glass cabinet, winging and aring over the Manila honey, the Manuka honey. What are Bear Barrington and Rory up to?

So there's a gathered crowd of these well-to-do socialites. So they're all looking around at that thing. Yeah, they're kind of mixed around. They're looking at different display cabinets, but there's no way you can get to the extract without them noticing you currently. We're inside the business bit now, right? Yes, yes.

How do we get the passes for that? You've made a fake business. Don't think about it too much. Yeah, okay. Just go into it. Just roll with it. Just roll with it, Craig. All right.

So what do you guys like to do? There's a gathered crowd. I could distract them but I don't have much to talk about except spoons. I could pose

for selfies with them again. Okay. Because all the other CEOs of the other companies are just humans in suits. They're just humans

in suits but also I'm a bear in a bear suit. You're a bear in a tuxedo. I'm a human. Human in a bear in a tuxedo. In a bear in a tuxedo. I mean a human. A human in a bear in a tuxedo. In a bear in a bear.

But also... Which you don't see every day. You've got 50, like, 60, 70,000 Twitter followers. These businesses are killed for that. Exactly. Okay, so you're going to go around and you're going to try and distract everybody by... Do a selfie, tag me in it, and I'll retweet it.

Okay, so you're doing that. So they're doing that to build up publicity. Rory, what are you doing at this point? Can I shuffle closer to the case there? So you're getting closer and closer to the case, near these two guards. Okay, so Bear Barrington, give me a criminal deception, a criminal check.

So I'm on four at the moment. Okay, yeah, so you've got to get four or lower. Easy. Three. Three, perfect. So everything seems to be going really well but Barrington another point into criminal so you know what five criminal and one bear because well everything's going so well like you can you can see

the honey money to mutilate someone it's yeah you can you can see the honey there and you pass criminal though no you need to eat a lot of honey. Like a bear? Yeah. So you're a five-criminal-one-bear. And you can smell that five million. It's almost in your hands. You could retire. I can retire early. You could retire early. You're beginning to think that

five million split four ways. You could always just split five million one way. Rory begins shuffling up, trying to stay incognito. Five million is good. Just give me a quick criminal check just to see how well you blend in.

I'm not very much a criminal. I'm the worst. So the guards kind of begin looking at you. Meanwhile we kind of cut through the corridors of this convention centre to the wobbly trench coat man. We came to many walls. You're right.

There's a kind of plain looking corridor, a door with a label of security, and outside of it is an armed guard. But you can see that this is the security room that controls all of the CCTV. What would you like to be? There's a man outside. Oh, wow. Sorry. I think this is the right place though It's got big yellow

Yellow colours on it Talk to him Tell him to leave I'm going to try and tell him to leave Maybe if I pretend Maybe if Oh I'm already walking up

No No Hang on Hang on Excuse me sir Can I help you? This is a restricted area Um

Yes Um I know but um Nicholas Get him What are you So he's like Huh um you can see him like what's good you're not a man your bears and then he's bringing on the gun give me a bet yeah does that come no it's gonna be a point into my leap out I get five I needed a four I think this is going to be a point into bear I leap out I get a five I needed a four

I think that so you start Trying to like scrabble at him and everything Else mark a point into bear He manages to shoot you with a tranquilizer But it's not quite enough You're kind of feeling like really tripped out But you're like You can see

He's crying out. He's being mauled, but he's still managing to fight off Nicholas. And you begin to hear some voices coming from inside the building. Like, what? Jim? Jim, what's going on? What would you like to do? Ted?

The guard's still alive, and he's trying to wrestle with your brother, trying to throw him off. I'm going to sit on the guy's face and try and cover his mouth and then be like, um, um then be like try to mimic his voice and be like everything's fine it's okay. Okay.

Give me a criminal check to see how long this goes. So okay I think that's enough. So you kind of wrap your body and you still have like half of a trench coat

that only like you only fill up half the trench coat so you wrap the trench coat around his mouth and he's like and then you're like everything's fine now dear you mangle this human speech and they're like Jim your voice is really bad get a

cough drop or something and then it seems to go quiet at which point Nicholas finishes just ripping out his throat just like wow I'm hacking him! Good job! Okay, so he goes quiet. The dead body's just flying with the head pooling blood. What would you guys like to do now? Did you have the keys on him for the room? Yeah, he does, yeah. Yeah, so I'm going to grab those keys. You open it, and inside you can just see

there's one guy sat at a computer desk, big row of monitors kind of monitoring it, and you can see him zooming in on Rory, and he's like, wait a minute. Is that bee a bear? And they're zooming in. But you can see the system is all in front of him. What would you like to do?

I'd like to think that Rory's looking at the cameras because he knows that they're about to be hacked. So he's like. Bee bear is waving at me. Beebear is waving at me I'm slowly dragging dragging Jim's corpse down the corridor around the corner

like in that start you put it there's like a locker that he like just shoves him in but it leaves a nice blood trail and then I'm gonna yell from down the corridor

okay well you do you want to try and hide otherwise he's gonna spot you okay so give me a criminal check and yell from down the corridor. Ah! Okay, well, you... Do you want to try and hide? Otherwise, he's going to spot you. Yeah, I'm going to try and hide. Okay, so give me a criminal check. Oh, I need it. Yeah, that's too much. So, you're like...

And in tune, you just lay yourself flat like a rug. And he looks past, he's like... Marker pointing to bear For frustration As he's just like Ah a bear Sees the blood trail Starts running

Slides on the blood Like slams to the ground Makes a noise And you can begin to hear Like other voices and footsteps Coming from nearby You've got a few seconds Before this guy makes a run for it

In that case I want to try and run into the room and close the door behind me. So you run into the room, you close it, you've got the keys, and then what do you want to try and do? Barricade it, or are you just trying to hack and then get out quickly? You can see that there is an event system as well.

Lock the door, I'll start hacking! So you lock the door, and then you start hacking. So I think this is actually a bear check, but you can roll 2d6 and take the lowest, because you are hacking. Ooh. Hey!

So, you just start tearing wires up, and your watcher's screen just blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink. And then suddenly all of the lights in the whole building just go out. Mark a point in Criminal because it goes off without a hitch. It's the heist. The lights all go off and then you start hearing pounding on the door like, Hey! Hey! What's going on? Who's killed Jim?

And they start pounding on the door. Bear Barrington and Rory, the lights just completely go off and everyone's like, Huh? What's killed Jim? And they start Bounding on the door Who's killed Jim? Bear Barrington And Rory The lights just Completely go off And everyone's like What's going on? Can we see Anything at all?

Is it completely Your bears You guys can see Bears see in the dark Yeah they can They can see better Than humans in the dark So we can see fine

Just about And you've got The glass cabinet You can see the guards Are now looking around They're like Stay calm everybody They pull out Flash. And you've got the glass cabinet. You can see the guards are now looking around. They're like, stay calm, everybody. They pull out flashlights, and they've got little pistols kind of skipping around.

I'm going to rip my costume off. OK. And reveal that I'm a bear. And I'm going to roar loud like a bear. A menacing grizzly bear. Which is convenient, because I need a bear point. OK. So you're just like, you tear yourself out of the thing.

People are like, Mr. Barrington! Give me a bear roll, but you can take advantage because you are a grizzly bear and your special skill is being terrifying, I think. It is indeed. So you can roll twice and take the lowest. But you've got to get a one or lower. Oh, that's how that works. Probably should have had an extra roll for Carnage as well.

A two. Roll again. You can roll again, you get to send the lowest, yeah. Do I get to move a point back over after this? Maybe. We'll see. There you go. Oh!

Oh my god! So you can put a point into bear because you ripped off your costume in a crazy thing. A point into bear? So you shift one point from criminal to bear. You rip off the costume in a crazy thing. I point into bear. So you shift one point from criminal to bear. You rip off the costume and roar loudly. Roar! I'm a bear!

He was a bear all along! Who'd have thought? And they start scattering and everybody starts turning off. But the two armed guards suddenly are like, They've got two arms! They're suddenly terrified that they've got two arms they're suddenly terrified that they are bearing weapons

on you Rory what do you do can I so I'm beside the the cabinet now can I

take his suitcase his briefcase yeah and just like smash the glass and just put it in and take the other one

and then give it back okay okay so yeah I mean you can roll for this in the darkness I'll tell you what I will roll

normally I wouldn't roll but I'll roll for the guards to see if they notice we'll say four five or six they don't notice four five or six so they hear a smash but then they're kind of

looking around and they see the smashed but then they're kind of looking around and they see the smashed glass but they see the briefcase exactly where it is. They see you holding a briefcase and they're like Oh! Somebody! I'm a bee! Fly away! Fly away!

You start wobbling away. At this point, the two of you, the lights suddenly come back on. A backup generator kicks in. The lights come on. And you can see from like a mezzanine floor, there is maybe like eight guards all aiming tranquilizer rifles down in your direction. And standing amongst them is Duke Wembley Basil Roosevelt III.

And on the other side side you see another figure a young bear a young cub Barrington Cubbington hello father the twist he looks down what are you doing here? I'm setting you up father

all these years you've neglected me and mother for this life of crime and now it's time for you to pay. He's only got a week left. What do you mean? You never loved me, father. You don't understand. I'm a week from retirement.

The company was going to be yours. You missed everything. You missed my birthdays. You missed mother's birthdays. Yes. You missed everything. Yes. You missed my play in fair school

I need a calendar, I know it's time for you to pay, they're going to take you away and lock you up, Mr. Roosevelt is going to give me and mother all the honey we could ever want your life of crime is over father, meanwhile

there's a human in that room that you just hear what the that's still going crazy over our father. Meanwhile, every human in that room, they just hear What the? They're still going crazy because they're traitors, aren't they? Oh my god! Everybody else is, but they've got these training rifles. We're going to jump back. So the two of you are lit up by spotlights.

These kind of rifles are rained down at you. You've got the manila honey, but they don't know which briefcase is the right one. But you're currently under lock. We cut to the honey badger twins In the security room So the means of escape is the door Which is currently being It's being pounded on and they're starting to break through it

They've got like a fire axe and they're trying to hack the door down Like here's Johnny Oh Johnny's here There's a hatch Yeah there's an air vents Air vents Air vents Air vents Oh, Johnny's here. There's a hatch. Yeah, there's air vents, yeah. Air vents! Air vents! Air vents!

Air vents! Air vents! You just tear it off. You just scurry through. Are you just trying to get out, or are you going to try and go back for your companions? Because the air vents, I would say, will lead all over the main concourse,

so you could get above the guards on the mezzanines. So the map that we have, it for some reason has a security room in there. It has the air vents on it as well, obviously. Why wouldn't it? Why wouldn't it? It happens. So I want to try and follow that to get to the point, yeah, just above that room. And I guess if you wanted to follow I'm coming along cool you brother stick together okay so

you follow along and you can now see the scene you see bear Barrington talking to his son up on the on the mezzanine like pleading with him you can see all the guns pointed down at your friends you can see Rory has one of the briefcases but there's also one still in the display cabinet. We still need that briefcase. We do. There's a compromise. We need to... Is that Bearrington Covington?

Oh, my God! You reckon it's Bear's... Bear Barrington's son. I love that guy. He's so nice. I went to his birthday party once. He's pretty cool. He's pretty chill.

What's he doing? I don't know, but Barrington just said he needed a calendar. Oh. You should get him one with the five million dollars. Yeah.

So you guys just have a conversation. But no, this is bad. So the mezzanine, like, what's, what, so where in the event,

So imagine you've got, you've got like a vent over this large concourse where there's split levels, so a mezzanine floor, like a gap in the middle, and then like the main concourse down below. Yeah. And you've got a vent over this large concourse where there's split levels. So a mezzanine floor, a gap in the middle, and then the main concourse down below. And you've got various honey booths and honey businesses, like stands. And in the middle is this, it was once roped off, but now it's all kind of been torn apart in this case. And you've got about four armed gunmen pointing down towards the other two bears.

On either side. On either side. One side there is a human who seems to be coordinating things, and on the other side you see Cub Barrington Covington. Two each. Rory's trying to hand spoons to people who are running past in terror. Most of the people have run off at this point, but a couple of them you just shove spoons and terrified,

they're like, and then they just run. I'm a bee. Okay, two each, but I'll race you. All right. Brofist. Pow! Yeah!

And then you guys drop down onto either side of the mezzanine. Yeah, we just smash down and in slow motion. The high start going to be like... Okay. I think... So both of you put a point, shift a point into bear

and then make some maul checks for me so roll bear so we both have carnage yes so you can roll twice and take the lowest oh I forgot you had that

yeah both rolled one so I'd say both of you the fact that you rolled the lowest you possibly can you watch as like

as you're having this moment and you see bear cubbington cubberington is just like take aim obviously all the humans just get so Wembley's like moment you see Bear Cubbington, Bearrington is just like, take aim.

Obviously all the humans just get rawr, rawr. So Wembley's like, take aim. And then, fuh, psh,

rawr, rawr, rawr. As you begin tearing up, the panic, the guards start trying to swing

around their rifles, trying to get shots on you guys. Bear and Bear Barrington and Rory What do you guys do? The distraction is enough that This is all going on Yeah, like

I'm still talking to my son Okay He's like looking down at you It's like as if it's just all happening in the background You're just staring up at him Up at him? Yeah, he's up on one of these metal measures Oh, I thought it was

Okay So he's like looking down at you I think by this point he came down to see his father Sure, like yeah, maybe he like leaps down All this craziness is going on Yeah But it's like looking down at you. I think by this point he came down to see his father. Sure, like yeah, maybe he like leaps down. All this craziness is going on. He's like staring at you dead in the eye. I was wondering if day would come. You're no son of mine.

You're no father to me. You've betrayed me. Oh, fuck! I always knew you were never my son because I'm a grizzly polar bear and you're a panda. I may be a panda father. That's why I could never love you. I may be, I always knew.

But it is through this, it's through my true father that I learned this and then he goes into like a Kung Fu stance and then he goes into like a kung fu stance and then a kind of sweeping matrix shot around the two bears. He is a kung fu panda. The matrix dog camp as he runs towards you with his kung fu hands. Roll a bear for me. A bear?

Yeah, of course it would be. So a two or lower? Yeah. And I get as many attempts as I want at this, right? No. Don't? Yeah, of course it would be. So two or lower? Yeah. And I get as many attempts as I want at this, right? No. Don't need it, got two. Two!

And he rolled, so he comes in with this high kind of like, you know, sort of kick, I suppose. He like does like a flip in the air and tries to drop down, but you being a mighty impressive bear

just and throw yourself. Because I'm the muscle, he does like one of those things that you see in the movie where like you know they're filmed on the wire but he

flies across the room smashes through a pillar like one of the mezzanine pillars and it's like a complete

straight line yeah he just throws him through and you just see the rubble kind of cave in at this point

the two honey badgers have torn everything up and you leap down Rory you've still got the briefcase. What do you guys want to do?

You need to escape somehow. You need to get out of the convention center in the town. Okay, so you grab the other briefcase. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess we need to leap down onto that. Oh, shift the point into bear for me, bear. I'm back to equilibrium. Nice.

Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, I thought I was working. He's going to start walking towards the exit. Okay. So, I mean, as far as we're concerned. He's going to start walking towards the exit. Okay. So, Rory just starts walking off, leaving these bleeding guards. Quite handling. Okay.

Yeah, we'll jump down and grab the other suitcase, because as far as we're aware. Yeah. So, you grab the other suitcase. So, as you begin making your escape, running out of the building, more and more of these armed guards are, like, obviously being called in,

and there is a helicopter. You can hear the rotor blades and you can see snipers with tranquilizer rifles are there. Probably not tranquilizer rifles at this point. I think they're just rifles. And they're chasing after you. So, how are you going to try and avoid these guards? What are each of you

going to try and do to avoid capture? Ted? Yeah? We've got the briefcase. We can just run. We can run. We can go. We can... We're free! Okay, so you've got to split from the team. Go! So the two twins run off in one direction. What are you guys doing, though?

You know that around the city there are lakes. There's the cable car up to the ski resort. There is also woods. I mean... We've got to lay low for a while. There is also a woods. I mean... We've got to lay low for a while. There's too many people. There's too much going on.

We need to go in the woods for a bit. You're going to make your way for the woods? Yeah, okay. Woods are good. So I think that that would be bear checks to try and hide in the woods. Oh, no. We both failed.

Both fail? Okay, so you make your way into the woods. So move a point into Bear. As you're being chased, bullets are kind of ricocheting around you. They're chasing after you with one of the briefcases. Bullets, you know, wood splinters going off everywhere and you're desperately trying to find somewhere to hide. Bear and Rory, what would you guys like to try and do

to avoid these guards chasing after you? Your Highness! Holds up the briefcase. So we've got the real one. You've got the real one. You've got the one with my crown in it. Well, you think it's the real one. We think it's the real one.

But you think it's the real one. But I kinda want my crown. Okay, do you wanna go after them? So we're gonna go after them into the woods, or I am at least. Okay. I you want to go after them? So we're going to go after them into the woods. Or I am, at least. Okay. We're going to go after them into the woods. I'm going to go to the lake.

Swim away. So you chase after your crown, like, carry my crown back. Rory just plods his way over. So I think, yeah, so you're going to try and swim across the lake and try and get away from the guards that way, like go underwater.

So that's a swim. So I think that's your special skill. So it's bear. Take the low end. Oh, nice. Okay, so you dive under the water, that way, like, go underwater. So that's a swim, so I think that's your special skill. So it's bear. Take the low end. Oh, nice! Okay, so you dive under the water, briefcase in your mouth, bullets, as you just swim under. Wait, these are actual bullets now, not even tranquilizers.

Yeah, they're just real bullets now. Oh, God. For bear, give me a bear check as you dart off into the woods chasing after the Honey Badger twins. Got to roll a three. See what you get. Six. Your first failure.

So put a point into bear. You take one bullet wound to the side as it kind of grazes along your hide. You're bleeding out as you chase them into the woods. Barely a scratch because I'm so muscly. Barely. The three of you get into quite a dense part of the forest where the helicopters can't chase after you and you know you can hear the

sounds of people on foot coming in behind you but you end up in a three way standoff between the three of you in this clearing. Can we be inside the little cabin where this little blonde girl has just left and we go and there's like three bowls of porridge. Well maybe, maybe.

You burst into the cabbage cabin. There's not three bowls of porridge. Well, maybe. Maybe. You burst into the cabbage cabin. There's not three bowls of cabbage. Mark is in... There's not three bowls of porridge. It looks to be some sort of cocaine den that you've stumbled into deep in the woods. What the fuck? But it's been abandoned.

Nobody's there right now. You can see that there's drugs being cooked. And you have this standoff. There's the three of you in this house trying to avoid the chasing guards. They've got your crown. He's chased after you. What do the three of you do?

You don't know that it's the crown, though. You think it's the thing. You've got my crown. Oh, and what's my voice? It's Santa. You've got my crown. No, we haven't. We got the honey thing

Well you guys were doing your hacking we switched the briefcase that's my crown look open it And in Pulp Fiction style you just get a golden glow on the two honey badger twins faces It's just like here's this golden glow from this beautiful crown but the crown is surely worth at least a million dollars is it still worth something

no so you reach in grab the crown so you're going to maul him really for that it's my crown fair check from Ted grab the crown. No! So you're going to maul him. I'm going to go. Really? For that? It's my crown. Bear check from Ted.

You have can't. Oh, no. So he tears into you. Bear, roll a bear. Move one point into bear for me. Move one first. From criminal into bear, yes. That now puts me in six in bear.

So at this point. No, five. Five points. So you're teetering the edge. The rage building inside of you as this honey badger's mauling. I'm a grizzly bowler bear. So at this point. No, no, five. Five points. So you're teetering the edge. The rage building inside of you as this honey badger's mauling. I'm a grizzly polar bear. What do you want? That's the muscle. So do you want to like, you're going to swipe back?

Do I have to roll it? Yeah, bear check. Bear check. Bear check. And he has the muscle. Does he get advanced? He rolls twice, yeah, and takes the lowest. Two.

Two. See if you get a one. I just want to see if you can get the one. I think you need the one, don't you? It's like you get the one. Oh, yeah, and takes the lowest. Two. Two. See if you get a one. I just want to see if you can get the one. I think you need to get the one. Oh, no, you go. So, like your son, wounded despite you are, the wound on your side, you pick up Ted, you throw Ted through all this, like, drugs equipment,

plumes of white cocaine go flying up everywhere. Ted, you're sent through. Move a point into bear for me. Okay. Oh, I've got a five in bear. But you're dazed. You're struggling. What are you doing now?

I came here for five million. I'm dashing to the lake. So you're just like, well, you don't know where the other bear is. You don't know where Rory went. You left. Is my still with yours? So you can see Nicholas in front of you.

And this rage of these two are trying. You've got your crown, but these two try to take it. What do you guys want to do? I think then we both click, like we're about to fight but we both click. That means Rory's got the briefcase with the five million in and then it's kind of like a race, like a wacky racer style. It's my five million! So you begin chasing through. At this point, Rory, you kind of reach a shore of the lake and you pull yourself up and you can see that on the other side of the lake is the North Pemberton Airport and there are a number of helicopters and planes all waiting to depart. You can see passengers beginning to get on them. What do you want to try and do? This could be if you can

get away here. Can I try and get on a flight in my nice bee costume? Sure. Roll criminal. Oh no. No, I didn't make it. You are the face. You get to roll twice. No, I didn't make it. So I think they stop you. They're not necessarily

stopping you on the flight, but they're like, sir, where's your passport? You have to go through security. I lost it. And they're like, okay, well, we'll help you try and find it again. But it slows you down, which gives these two enough time to begin making their chase. I guess you chase after eventually as well. Well, yeah, maybe.

We'll see. And I think that we're probably going to close this out for potentially to revisit another day as Rory is in the security part of the airport. Honestly, Rory's going to eat it. So at this point, we see

Rory's going to eat the honey. We see Rory with his thing and they're like, okay, so just wait here. We'll get it. And then you open up the briefcase and inside you just see this beautiful manuka honey. I believe that would move a point from criminal into bear. That's fine. It doesn't put you at maximum. I was hoping that would put you

at six. No, I'm just the perfect mate. I'm five bear, one criminal. And you just sit there eating honey. And the rest of you, as you burst out into the woods, you burst into a tree line of armed guards. And then we just see like a bear looks back at Nicholas.

We see Ted pulling himself recovered in cocaine. Like... And then we just get black the end. Question mark. And we're going to take a bear rake as TJ TJ put little bear emojis
