This is a headgum podcast. Welcome to the campaign after the campaign. This is not another D&D podcast. Welcome back to Bahamia, everybody. Barhamia. I'm your dungeon master Brian Murphy, joined by Jake Hurwitz. Destroying a bar and finding Krangar.

Oh, so Krangar. Oh, there's going to be a theme to our intros. Who could forget? Krangar. Smoke them if you got them. Amen. And then of course we've got Emily Axford. Wish in honest I might meet Kranagh.

It's slow slap bash. And then of course, we can only imagine what he's going to say, Cald al-Taner. Oh, he's got a fucking lots of cars to honor Krangars. There you go. And if you forgot about Krangar, I don't blame you. It honestly wasn't that important of a plot point, and yet it keeps coming up. You do need to eat a cranberry if you forgot about Krangar, though.

To honor his dad. name. I do think he is now Bohumia's Father Christmas. Oh, that's fair. Okay. That's how I'm picturing him. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Like kind of a dirty little Father Christmas that emerges from a cranberry bog. Nasty father Christmas. Bearded a little drunk. Grinch adjacent. Oh shit. Interesting. The Grinch. But it's also like religiously following the Grinch is what you guys are doing. You're not talking about because it's not the Grinch because it's about cranberries, cigars and making a holiday out of an out of an everyday occasion. Okay, sure. Make every day a holiday, Murph.

All right, sorry, I forgot, so I need a little recap. Good. So last time, you battled Thin Jim and his Jimmies on behalf of James and his Jimmy's defending Jimmy's Tavern. You were finally able to get some luck with the machine guns going and mowed down lines of brutes, cannoneers, and gunners. Thin Jim was a constant thorn in your side, managing to almost take down slug, and avoiding damaged by hiding in his metal pants for a good deal of the battle. I think it's the maddest we've ever been out of a pair of pants.

Yeah. I don't know. I got some buttonfly jeans that gave me some real trouble. In general, everyone gets really mad when the enemies can hide, and I understand why. And this was particularly infuriating because he's just right there in his pants. He also just kept shouting, pants! Pants! Finally, you were able to destroy his pants, but he took off running.

Before he'd get away, though. Adam shot him in the back with a sniper rifle and then Slug beat him to death. With his pants. I married him to his pants in the afterlife. Holy pantrimony. Until death did they shark? James crafted mugs from his scrapped pants and you celebrated with the victorious South Avenue jimmies. James offered you an apartment above the bar to get some rest in and you spent some time looking at the stars before going to bed.

As you reviewed them from your telescope, you saw a. shining blue diamond planar pool. You checked the star map and realized that it was the plane of Mechanis. And then you heard some static in your receivers. And after a Nat 20 religion check for somewhat argue bad reasons, you theorized that Elmer could be there. And that's where we are now. Also, you're welcome that Nat 20. Afterwards, I didn't say anything about Krantar.

Yes. I appreciated that. You're welcome. We met in God, I had that in the chamber. Kind of like an early anniversary gift. Yeah. Yeah. That's fair.

That she doesn't have to get you anything else. Right. It's a yo-you situation for sure. Yeah. But what if I didn't have that prepped and I had to... You had to go full crangar? Full crangar. Yeah, that's true.

All right. So you guys are in this room. You need to get some sleep probably before you do your next big push through zone two to try to get to zone one. So you guys now finally have. some time to rest here. There's a bed. I'll say there's a bunch of like cots in here.

There's like a nice kind of shag rug near the window. Oh, I curl up on the rug. I curl up near the window. Oh, shit. I wrestle you for the rug. Oh, this is my... Let me curl up in a tiny little ball. Come on. Oh, actually, you look so cute a little fox in the shag.

Wow. Okay, fine. Does anyone have an extension cord? Ock sleeps in a sunspot. That's too damn cute. I think that slug wakes up like you know how sometimes when you finally get a good night sleep after a while you feel worse when you wake up oh shit i feel like crap what the fuck you're moving real stiff is you hip okay no not at all you are so sore nothing's okay is by a tattoo or a bruise i don't know

your tramp stamp it looks like a roarsack test no guys did sir elmer ever tell you anything about I don't know, Galateron or Mechanus or any of that stuff. He was mostly just yelling at us to clean up and fix the arcade cabinets. He just was really no frills. So I don't think any of life's prettier things ever came up that I recall. He once told me, hey, get your fingernail out of the socket. And I think when he said that, he was saying, you know, you're not ready. Yeah.

Oh, he once told me, hey, Slug, the day you beat the claw machine. machine is the worst day of your life, actually, because then you got nothing to strive for anymore. Wow. Oh, my God. He once told me, if I could marry a cheeseburger, I would. What about you or about him? Well, we were eating cheeseburgers. Oh, that's cool.

That's really giving me a lust for life and passion. I have a question, because when we were going after a thin gym, we were like, if you love your pants so much, marry him, do any of you think you're going to marry someone someday? Whoa, but then when would I hang out with you guys? Yeah. Well, that's why we got to find three best friends that we can marry. OX, you're so fucking smart. That's so right.

Yeah, because then we can hang out all the time. Who know the thing that was going to get me over, Charie Rubelie was going to be finding out that she was already taken care of by a good guy and realizing that I don't want to sacrifice a single fucking minute with my best dude. Every date will be a triple date. Oh, my God. Okay. You know, I'm not giving up on Big Rick just yet, but something tells me that maybe the thing I like about him is just his lust for life and the passion with which he smokes those cigarettes.

Yeah, I was going to say the cigarettes. It might be the cigarettes. I think I just like cigarettes. I think what I'm looking for in a partner is just like being able to hang out with you guys all the time. Yeah. Honestly, that's my kind of dream girl, too, but also maybe like an actress that always plays the shy pots. Yeah, so we get a fat pack of cigarettes. We hang out all the time and then we find an actress or something.

That's pretty perfect. There's got to be an actress in the magic city of Gladeholm, right? They're probably all actresses. It's out of space. Who knows? Can you do like a search on Gladeholm to see what Gladholm is like? Yeah, can I try and do like a... Yeah, I'll say he's got some tech in here.

He's got like a computer. Go ahead and see if you give it a virus or not. All right, let me... Type in Gladeholm Actress. Gladeholm Theater Troop. Adam starts to type in Gladeholm Actress Feet and then deletes the last part. Oh, put it back in.

Would this be a intelligence check? Tech Arcana. Very tempted to use one of my abilities for this. That's a 13. Okay. With a 13, you get some stock information on Glade Home. It seems like they don't have that much communication with the material plane. They're a little bit zoomed out.

But you do see that their main thing is they have this. galaxy-wide battle against this being called Grumsh that has been invading some of the outer planes. So some of the greatest heroes of the material plane have gone up to fight alongside Gladeholm against these extra planar threats. Oh, they're at war. Oh, Slugs. Look at this moonshine girl. Slugs fixes her eyebrows. Ah, wow. Okay. She looks like a performer. I was going to say. It doesn't look very shy, though. Sometimes I kind of like the really shy ones, but it's just because I take up so much space.

Wow. It's all waiting for us out there. Yeah. Okay. Well, before we get there, we got to get there. And they point back home. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You guys take your telescope. You guys have kind of slept through the day. It's like late afternoon now. Take the telescope and look, and they're definitely shoring up. the army there to make sure you don't make it through zone two. Okay. Okay.

But it does not look like they've invaded zone one. Okay. It just looks like they're going to make sure you don't make it through zone two. Okay. Kill screens is holding strong. Yeah. That's cool. Okay.

Let's get another meatball sub in us and try to bust through that line. Yeah. I can store some palms on my ass for later. That'd be great. You don't want to stop calling it like a trunk or something? Why? I actually kind of like it's kind of cavalier. Like when you were like, I pull some cigars out of my ass.

It's kind of like when you're like, let me try and pull something out of my ass. Right. I'm happy to be outvoted. So I know it's like literal, but I like it. Spur of the moment. All right. It's a democracy.

It's cool. Maybe when we have wives and partners, we can open the debate floor off. Right. Well, then it'd be a six-person vote. Yeah, so you could get yours to vote with you. Yeah. Cool. So you guys, we settled some of this off, Mike,

but you guys have upgraded your tech overnight. There was some stuff left by the jimmies. One of you guys took a heavy machine gun, which is recharge 6, 4D10 plus your decks, piercing damage. So you can only use it probably once per combat, but maybe you'll get lucky and get it twice. Imagine a freaking crit on that. Gatling gun, 3D10 plus your decks for damage.

Adam took that, and that's recharge 5, 6. So a little bit worse, but you get to use it more often. So you see Adam, gets a gatling gun I'll say like arm like you get like an arm compartment and come out and shoot a gatling gun I think I paint all of the different tubes

different kill stream colors hell yeah so they're just like they're all like neon now that's cool and then Ox has an attachment that gives them access to this heavy machine gun we're doing that action movie thing where we're just like clicking magazines into various guns

we're just like pointing down the sights John Wick reloading this gun is bigger than I am I'm just sharpening my hockey stick. Hell of you. Sharpening your hockey stick, you could tape it up. Yeah, I mean, I got to tape it up after I sharpen it. Yeah, wow.

Okay. Do you guys want me to print out a cool holographic map so that we can plot our route? Yeah, I do, I do. Okay, here we go. Oh, it's coming out your ass. Okay. Adam shits out a map of the outer planes and you guys mark off where Gladeholm is and you guys mark off where mechanics is. There we go.

Okay, all right. I think I'm ready. So we got to try to get the zone to specifically. Our mission is not getting true zone to. It's getting to the airship. Right. Do we know where the warehouse is? Spector, have you located it? Yes, I've been in communication with James throughout the night and everything, so if you go downstairs, I think he can fill you in.

Oh, okay. Thanks, Spector. I was your night, by the way. My night was crazy. What happened to you? Just sneaking by mothership nights. I had to use like a cloaking device. to get by. The Hampson sisters were all really loud, so they had to

kill a bunch of people that we were sneaking by. They're not quiet. Yeah, they are not subtle. They're not quiet. We're not quiet. We kill people. That's our stealth. That's our stealth. That's our stealth. They start chanting, and then you hear, hey, and then you hear guns going off again. It's really, you can't hype them up.

See, this is why nothing that ever happened between me and the Hampson sisters. We're all too much. Right. Yeah. It's like bumper cars. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's go talk to James. Okay. Sweet. So you guys walk down into the bar area. It's already smoky again. Things weirdly kind of look back to normal. You see that there's like a new mechanical facade covering the giant hole in the bar. So it looks like this is definitely not the only time that the bar has exploded. They're already like back to work. No days off. And you see. James is currently swindling an insurance

salesman. Yeah. You see not only are there a bunch of South Avenue jimmies here, but There are a bunch of cybernetic goat men and even a few clowns. Hup, yop! Hey! Watch out for these guys. What's up? No, we're on your side now. Oh, you are.

Okay, good. Now we can play. Man. Now we can play cards against humanity without auto-cension. Yeah. Okay, ready? I'll go first. Ready?

All right. What am I going to bring to the Thanksgiving Day for it? Big Dildo. Ah. That's like the ace. You can't do it. You can't do any better. I know.

Well, you can't do any different, really, because they're all big, dildo. All right, well, what am I going to bring on a camping trip? A sleeping bag? No, it's a big dildo. Starts laughing. You see, Eddie runs out from the crowd of people and gives you guys a hug. Oh, thank Krangar. You're here.

Sorry? Who? Krangar. Who's Krangar? The guy. He's the reason you're here. He's the reason why. He's the reason we're all here.

Yeah, cranberry. Eddie, you love cranberry secrets. Yes. What? Think about it. The red trip. That's all, that's Krangar's whole deal. Celebration, festivities.

Put an arm around you. I think it's awesome that you're religious. I'm not, and that's okay. We can still be friends. Even though you just found it, like, in a day. Adam just stares coldly at Eddie and says, we're going to go to space and find Krangar. Okay, yeah.

So any Slugs looks at him with pity and just says Krangar will find you. Okay. Yeah. Even if you don't find him. It's not like super cool to say that kind of stuff. We all take different paths to Krengar.

Like we just found him. We found him last. No, not really. We found them this morning. Yeah. Okay. So it takes, yeah. It takes time.

Yeah. No, that's okay. Yeah. And if you find religion, that's okay. But you don't have to like tell me that I'm doomed if I don't find it. It's better than okay. It's good. No, no.

If anything, I'm telling you the opposite, you're not doomed because even if you aren't looking, Kranegas is looking for you. That's fine. Okay. Bring it in. How about a nice hug? Bring it in. We do a really long hug that you don't know when it's going to end. Okay.

Yeah. I hummed something for a long time in a hug. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Kran Garngar. New things. You guys are so, you guys are so full of life and that makes you awesome.

So James sent word that he had cleared out. the crypto bar and grill so we were able to get through i brought everybody that i could oh hell yeah i mean it's barricaded and crawling with muddaship agents oh yeah yeah on the other side on the side between zone four and zone three it wasn't so bad with james's help we were able to get through that's great they're probably dedicating a lot of guys over over to zone two yeah yeah i'm talking about getting into zone two oh yeah it's going to be super hard for sure i think a lot of people are going to die Right. Yeah.

Really. Okay. And you see old drill burst through a crowd of people and goes, I've lived a long life. I'm ready to go down drilling. And he revs his drill. And take a couple motherfuckers to hell with me.

Now that's the attitude right there. I've killed a lot of people. And Krangar, I don't think he can forgive me. You might be right about that, like, unfortunately. Cranga holds a grudge, actually. For sure, yeah. Well, we made, James opened up one of the checkpoints,

and we brought, we made a few tunnels of our own. And you see a bunch of hammer and circuits guys are here. You guys got any tunnels to get to Zone 2? No, absolutely not. Okay, well, how about, what about getting us to an airship? We could try that. We could try that. You hear James shout out, he goes like,

Hey, hey, I love a reunion as much as the next guy. guy, but we got problems. James walks through the crowd, goes up to you guys and goes, look, we cleared out the crypto bar and grill, but there were only a few guards left behind. So I think they broke through a checkpoint,

the prototype, and a few of his guys have gotten ahead. Oh, man. All right. So what does that mean? Where are we expecting to run into the prototype? Because here I am getting visions of stars and skies in my head, and I'm not

thinking clearly and I'm realizing what stands between us and that is the prototype. Unless he's going to be waiting for us at the kill screen. Look, with all the sneaking around, Mothership is doing, I don't think they want an all-out war with every single gang of the city. They don't want to lose that. Even if they could technically win, they don't want to rule over the rubble. You know what I mean? They're a business at the end of the day.

There's a reason they've taken up Zone 2 and it's because they got these jailbreakers brainwashed. Yes. Do you think that the best plan for us would maybe be to try and overcome R3 so that we can win the jailbreakers back to our side? I think if you can get rid of R3 or get R3 seen as senses or whatever, that would be helpful for sure. So where is he in zone to any one guy's age? I don't know exactly where he is. Here, come in here, we got a little bit of a plan coming together. Oh, yeah.

You see, James leads you guys. We're at the adults table. All right. Damn right. Wow. Yeah. Adam thinks back to like all of the pictures we've seen of like Elmer and the bosses all like gathered around a table and realizes that we're the ones at the table now. Adam take a picture.

Okay. Do it quietly. I'll do it surreptitiously. I'm going to hold up a mirror so that Adam can be in the picture. Okay. This is a secret area in the back. I feel like you've been here before. The fox knows.

I'm so sorry. Okay. I'm one more mistake away from banning you guys from the back area. That won't happen again. I wasn't blinking, was I? No pictures, all right. No more pictures. All right, fine.

If you want to get a picture, take one right now. Last picture. Okay, last one. Everybody. Cheese. Everybody say crangar. I'm not going to say crangar. Okay.

I was talking during that. Take another picture. I want to look good. Let me get from my good side. Yeah, let's do like sort of a goofy one. Okay. Goofy one. Goofy one.

Three, two, one. Spaghetti. That's fun. Slug. looked so serious and just flexing in the good. That's not goofy. You look cool. I didn't know we were doing a cool one.

Whoops. I didn't know we were doing a cool one. I thought it was kind of goofy. I thought it was. If she's going to think you're cool with me. That's not fair. Hey, James, can I be honest? I've been thinking, she's yours.

Yeah? Instead of being our girlfriend, if you make a happy, I think she could just be yours. because I think I'm going to the stars. Yes. We're going to go to Glade home. You're going to die? No, you've got to go to her because she's been robbed for 20,000 credits at this point.

You say that. She sent me a request for a wire this morning. She needs another 20 grand. She needs another 20 grand. She keeps on robbing. Who's doing this? I don't know who's doing this. I sent it along.

Go to her. Okay. I am going to help you try to write whoever is going after. No, I appreciate that. At least she's been made whole for now, but I hope nobody else. takes the name of us. All right. Let's hope not. I'll send a 30 grand just in case, you know.

Yeah, I think there's a good idea. You'd be disrespectful, not too. Yeah, of course. You see, he leads you to like a gambling area in the back. You see, there's a craps table that has been repurposed as sort of like a war table. You see, there's a projection drone that is showing footage from Zone 2. This is the last zone that you guys will need to get through in order to make it home to Zone 1. There is footage of jailbreaker security bots, jailbreaker drones, jailbreaker iron fists,

patrolling the streets alongside mothership soldiers, mothership enforcers, mothership drones. And then there are barricades blocking off the paths to zone one. These are manned by even more soldiers and jailbreakers, including mounted weapons. And James speaks and goes going on foot through zone two. First off, from everything I've been hearing from people, you guys have drawn a lot of attention everywhere you've gone,

even when you're just sneaking around. Yeah, we just have big personnel. Yeah, and you do. And you do. Yeah. So it's hard to, you know, put a muzzle on that. And I don't want to do that. I want you to be you.

That's disrespectful. No. But since we can't muzzle you guys and because they're freaking robots, a lot of them have homing devices, including R3, are going to be able to hunt you down pretty quick. So we're going to have to go in kind of guns ablazun. And you see, he turns to old drill and Eddie. And he goes like, if I open up the checkpoint for you guys, can you guys, can you guys get some vehicles through.

Well, with a mothership out of Zone 4. Only thing stopping us from getting to Zone 3 is you. Wonderful. Great. Yeah. Everybody just coming to my fucking turf. It's fine. Call your fucking guys, because we're going to need a fleet.

That'll create a buffer between you guys and the mothership here. But they might just zero in on the kill screen car once they figure out where you guys are hiding. If only there was some way to move as. as fast as a motor vehicle without being trapped inside one. Do you mean like an airship? Or do you mean like an gesture to my roller blades? You see Eddie points at your skates and goes like, yeah, if we have a bunch of vehicles like a giant caravan, you guys could skitch back and forth and hide behind them. Yeah, now that's good.

Now you're talking. Just don't leave us in your dust. Honestly, you're kind of right. It's been a minute since I skitched. I'm craving it. Let's do it. Skitch is life. She's got the itch to skitch.

I got the itch to skitch. All right, so you guys will skitch along. You'll hide amongst the caravan. That might get us into zone two, but the checkpoint to zone one is completely fucking insane right now. They got drop ships. They got lases. There's going to be no plowing through that.

And then you hear Spector chime in from your mic. and goes, we were able to sneak up and secure the airship. Right now, we're trying to lay low because we've had to avoid a bunch of jailbreakers, but no one is currently looking for us. So we were able to get to this ship inside of this warehouse. It's in like a rundown factory district in Zone 2. If you can get here, we can hopefully take off and get over the barricade. Okay, so we just need escort to this rundown factory district,

and then we got our own sort of getaway car. Our rides waiting for us. All right. And then as soon as their airship takes off, the rest of us will break apart and just fucking beat feet or squeal wheels out of there. Oh, that's good. Like that? It's not bad. And we'll trip ship.

Beautiful. All right. That's the plan. Warehouse Dick strict of Zone 2. We leave. Pronto. Get the wagons. Let's move.

Chop, chop. Everyone runs off and gets into position. Jimmy start loading bandoliers, stockpiling guns into cars and wagons. A little while later, you see hammer and circuits vehicles start showing up, these heavily armored vans and drill cars. The Red Trip pulls up with a bunch of motorcycles. You even see some clowns pull up with some tricked out ice cream trucks. Yup, yupp!

That's cool. What's up? Wow, is there any Froyo left in that thing? Froyo. I've got Figo. What? I've got fango froyo. What is that?

Froyo flavored fago or fago flavored frouio? Both. That's incredible. Look at this. They want to eat. I'll take a float. Sprays you guys. Figo shower.

There's one last thing I need to do. I've been saving this for a special occasion. Adam pulls out a pristine Hawaiian shirt that he's never worn before. And on it, there are pictures of the Joker water skiing. Whoa. Wow. Oh my God. Wait, which joker?

All of them. What? All of them together. Every joker. Every joker. Sweet. Adam puts on his shirt. Is there anything you guys want to do to prepare?

I'm going to hawk a lubricating lugi onto my wheels, the wheels of my roller blades. I guess I'll dig through Rova and try to get some of the better healing potions up on the top. Yeah, nice. We have six healing potions and four of them on cabana. Banana. Just try not to get too hurt, all right? Okay. Yeah, I think Slug is a in the moment kind of person,

so I don't have too much to plan. Sweet. So you guys have these vehicles here. I'll say they find a rollerblades for Adam and Ox to get ready to sketch. I'm going to give them some pointers, though. I'm going to give them some sketch pointers. How does this work? How does this work?

Fuck, hold me. Hold me. So you kind of got to pretend like you are a, a vehicle yourself. Okay. I see. Ox is shutting his eyes standing still on a pair of plates. And like you got to kind of pretend like you're not like the wind beating in your face is not against you.

You are conspiring with it. Adam recalls everything he learned from the drill car during their brief encounter. And then he just does a perfect figure eight. Incredible. Ox. Ox just kind of stands there. He's like, I got my balance, but I'm afraid to move. But you know what?

And then I'm just going to mod the ball. bottom to put tiny little rockets on there so I can just jet forward without pumping my legs too hard. Hell yeah. We are in business. Sweet. So you guys walk outside of the bar as everybody's loading up. You see the armored vehicles of hammer and circuits, the squealing motorcycles of the Red Trip and the rumbling coops of the South Avenue jimmies.

How this is going to work is while skitching behind each caravan, you get different skills. they have different bonuses. So hammer and circuits, the skill is plus 2AC when you're in their caravan, plus you gain temp HP, 1D6 plus your con, if you start your turn there, or the first time you enter it on your turn.

So they're heavily armored, and then they've got things to, like, feed you potions, like long syringes and shit. They're just straight up giving you steroids. Yeah, cool. Then there's the red trip. The red trip gives you bardic inspiration, 1D6. You also get advantage on melee attacks while you're in that caravan because you've got a bunch of dudes on motorcycles giving you support.

Then you've got the South Avenue Jimmies. The South Avenue Jimmies have a machine gun turret. Plus you get advantage on ranged attacks while in that caravan. So where do you guys want to start? I'm thinking hammer and circuits for me. Okay, cool. Gotta be Jimmy's for me. I'll do the red trip.

Yeah, and just everyone knows if they start getting hurt. then they can just come to hammer and circuits. Then we're a sketch swap. Yeah. Right. Sweet. OX gets behind the Red Trip and a bunch of motorcycles, hangs on to Eddie's motorcycle, I'll say.

You've got Adam is with the South Avenue. Jimmy's holding onto like a coop that James is driving, a bunch of other cars and wagons being pulled by like iron horses. And then you've got the big armored vehicles with like heavy weapons from hammer and circuits and drill cars and stuff. Old drill is in one of them. There's like this hum of all of this machinery and all these vehicles. You see Eddie pulls out ahead on his motorcycle,

begins riding back and forth and goes, All right, everybody, we don't all like working together, and that's fine. We're not working together. We're working against mothership. And if somebody's going to crack our skulls, it's going to be one of us. It's going to be someone from Neo-Galaderon. Yeah. That's right.

Hell of y'all. That's civic pride. To the devil you know. To the devil you know. To the devil you know. Let's fucking skitch. Shit. He revs his engine and pulls a wheelie.

You hear the other cars all rev in chorus. And the gangs of Neil Galadron take off. I do immediately go into a rage. Hell yeah. Okay, you go into a rage. Everybody go ahead and roll initiative. Fuck yeah. 22.

Dirty 20. 10. Okay, you guys take off with this giant caravan. You get out of the town square where Jimmy's Tavern was and things like that. You hit the main road and you bypass a checkpoint manned by more Jimmy's, some of whom join your caravan in their own vehicles. You rumble through the contested territory until you begin to approach the barricade to Zone 2. You see guard towers with turrets, jailbreaker security bots,

and mothership soldiers who bust out laser rifles. While you guys are skitching amongst the caravans, enemies can't attack you unless they successfully hit the caravan. Once they have, they can target you directly. The caravans have six HP, like they can take six hits. They can then repair themselves up to half HP by giving up one of their skills. So basically some of their guys switch from like blocking you guys with shields to like repairing. So you guys will lose out on some of the skills.

You use 30 feet of movement to go from caravan to caravan so you can game it. You can be like, I go here to get Bartik Inspiration, I go here to end my turn to get armor, I go here to get advantage on attacks. You can get multiple things. You can use them. If that's the case, can I start with a Bartik Inspiration one? Sure. Yeah, you start at the Red Tric.

Hey, what's up, Slug? Room for two walks? Come on in. Yeah, let's fucking skit, slug! You go on, you grab onto Eddie's motorcycle and a bunch of the motorcycles, some sick, twisted clowns around you. flank you as you approach. At Initiative 20, you come into view of the blockade to get in a zone 2.

There are huge reinforced metal walls and turrets with mounted weapons. There are jailbreaker iron fists. These guys with big wrecking ball fists up there and mothership knights with laser rifles that are going to take shots at you. We'll do six shots. So we'll do two at each caravan. So we'll start two shots at hammer and circuits. Fuck, two hits.

Bam, bam. You see a couple of the vans. get blown apart. Oh boy. Two shots at the Red Trip. One miss, one hit. If you see a couple of motorcycles explode and go down. And then they were going to take two shots at the Jimmies.

Why not? Strong Jims. They miss once and hit once. So take out one of the coops. You see one of these cars explodes. So Hammer and Circus is down to four. Red Trip down to five. Jimmy's down to five.

No one has entered the battlefield yet, so we're not going to cut to your guys' turns yet. But at Initiative 15, you see, as you ride closer to the blockade, a squad of jailbreaker Iron Fist jump down from the wall and fly forward with rocket boosters. They are now on the battlefield. Slug, you may act first. I'm taking out my sharpened hockey stick, and I'm going for them.

Okay. 20 to hit? 20 to hit hits. 23 to hit? 23 hits. Yes. Okay. I can't finagle anything with my bonus action.

so that's just 37 damage. Okay, that hurts them pretty bad. You take out a bunch of the Iron Fists. These are acting as squad, so this is kind of not unlike last battle. So they go to engage with the motorcycles on the Red Trip. You whip yourself around, take your sharpened hockey stick,

and take some cracks at them. What do I got to do to adrenaline rush around? Nothing. You can just use that if you want. Yeah, if you act before them, so you can essentially thrust yourself forward and fly at them. 21 to hit.

21 hits. 22 more damage. And they got to do a strength save or fall prone. Okay. DC6 themed strength save. They pass. So one hulking jailbreaker,

Iron fist hangs on. Do you want to move around to any of the different caravans or anything like that? I'm sitting, because I started there, do I get a bardic inspiration? You already have a bardic inspiration

for being there. Got my bartic inspiration, so I'm going to move over to Hammond circuits. Okay, great. Do you want to disengage or take a reaction? attack. I'll take the reaction attack.

Okay. And it's not, I wasn't reckless because I was on the red. Okay. Flat, they hit. They're going to do eight bludgeoning damage to you. Then Slug gets over to hammer and circuits. So roll a D6 plus your con as you join them. They start shooting you up with steroids.

Then that is Ox's turn. Okay, I'm going to charge up my mall and give it a branding spite. Okay, sick. Oh yeah. And I'm just going to climb up on this guy's shoulders who's riding the bike. Hell yeah.

And reach out and try to smash these guys. Hell yeah, dude. Do it. Okay, that is a 19 and an 18, so that's a 27 and a 26. Both hit? 36 damage. Nice. Okay, you fully take out the iron fists.

So there's like all of this heavy machinery, all this heavy artillery up on the barricade. They take out a few of the cars as you guys are riding close. A few of the cars break down, a couple of them flip. But as the iron fist try to come towards you guys, the caravans return, fire and ox does the finishing blow and destroys the iron fist before they can get there. And I'm going to climb back down and sketch over to the gun turret caravan. Sick. Okay, so you go over to the South Avenue, Jimmy's, throw yourself from the motorcycles,

grab onto the back of one of these like covered wagons that has iron horses stampeding along with a giant machine gun on the back. It's him. It's Lightning McQueen. Gitty up, boys. At initiative 10, you hear the revving of motorcycles as a squad of mother. ship knights ride in from the barricade and attack. But Adam, you can act before them. Okay. I've already started spinning up my Gatling gun.

I'm going to go ahead and take this attack. 16. Does that hit? Does not hit. All right. I will use a built for success. That adds a D4. Yeah. All right. They have 17 AC. You're going to hit no matter what, so just roll your damage. Nice. Yes. Okay. Spend a build for success.

Okay. And you're able to hit these mothership knights that are riding up as you start firing into them with the Gatling gun while hanging on to the back of the back of one of these coops. And I'll take my second attack as well with just a normal gun. Hell yeah. That's going to be a 23 to hit. That both hit? 37 points of damage. Wow. Yeah. No fucking joke. You fully have these mothership nights. So you pull out the Gatling gun. Two of the motorcycles explode. And another guy gets quite hurt, but they are able to close with you guys.

We were built for this. Do you have anything else you'd like to do on your turn? I'll use my movement. Can I just get to like one of the other caravans with my movement? Yeah, you can. Yeah. I'll head over to the. The Red Trip. Okay, you hop on over to the Red Trip. And with that, I'll say these Mothership Knights are going to close with you. So they're going to go in, take their first attack. They have to try to hit the Caravan first.

So they're going for the Red Trip Caravan. They miss. So they fail to get through the caravan on the first attack. Second attack does hit the caravan. And then the Knights are going to get one attack on Adam as they close with him. I hope you're ready for a Rocky Road. And that is a natural one. They miss big time.

But you do see that the knights can now attack from within the Red Trip. Their motorcycles have gotten in and are now alongside and flanking the Red Trips Caravan. After that, we're back to the top of the order that is slug at Initiative 22. Bucket comes back on a short rest, another adrenaline rush towards these mothership nights. Okay, hell yeah. 24 hits. Nice. 22 damage.

Wow. Okay. So you ride in. from hammer and circuits, you are skitching between the different motorcycles and you slam their motorcycles into each other. Their motorcycles explode and those guys are just

road rash, just fucking roll onto the ground here. I like to think I stuck my hockey stick into the spokeset. Yeah. Somehow your magic hockey stick stays together. Good thing you shopping it. Take another attack. Yeah, there's still a couple guys left

in the squad, or one guy left. 24? 24 hits. And then my last attack. Great. Nat 20. Wow, okay. Yeah. Come on.

43 damage. Wow. Okay. You decimate this dude. You fucking behead him. Like, it has nothing to do with the motorcycles. This dude is absolutely brutally destroyed. And you are currently up in the red trip.

Is there anywhere you would like to move? Where would you like to skitch to? I'm going to stick with a red trip. Okay, sick. So you stay skitching amongst the different motorcycles, keeping speed by sort of throwing yourself between them. Yeah, yeah. At initiative 20 of the next round, old drill yells, Rev your bitch, boys!

You see a line of drill cars. All of the drill bits start spinning on the front of their vehicles, and they zoom forward in front of the rest of the caravan. Oh, shit. They drive through, blowing out a huge part of the wall, sending rocks and debris, as well as Jarrell Breaker bots and mothership soldiers flying. Everybody give me deck saving throws.

DC-14 to avoid taking damage. Easy drill. That's a 20. Okay, you pass. 21. Okay, I got 11, even with my danger sense advantage, but I have a bodic. Ooh. Okay, you can use it if you want.

It's D6. I got a 1. Okay, so you take 11 bludgeoning damage from rocks as you go through. So, yeah, you have it tough because you're on the motorcycle, so you just are hit by a certain amount of debris. Oh, that doesn't even go through my temp, HP. Oh, sick. Okay, okay. So you guys explode through the barricade and enter.

Zone 2 proper. This place is a fucking war zone. The shops and stores are all barricaded up. There are huge screens around the city that would usually show like news or advertisements. Instead, you see drone footage of the chase as well as wanted pictures of you guys and the rewards. And at Initiative 15 during the jailbreakers action, you see among the drones that are

circling you, a few are carrying an oil. old tech robot with a lanky frame and a giant purple arcane battery. You recognize this as R3, and you hear his booming voice, My jailbreakers, these kill screens possess dangerous tech, set weapons to destroy. R3 is dropped by the drones that opens up two plates in his chest to reveal more legs and begins spider walking so fast, as fast as the caravan, and is about to take attacks, but Ox, you get to act first because you are at Initiative 21. Okay.

I guess I'll say first, you'll have to give me a perception check to see if you can find the restraining bolt that's affecting him. Okay. Shout out to the two crew. Okay. You have no idea. Just a giant fucking middle spider starts freaking wild, wild westing towards you. Guys, I can fix him.

Yeah, you can do it later. I'm going to shoot him for now. Great. Ox climbs up through this caravan towards the gun turret. Sweet. You can shoot with advantage on this. Nice. 19 to hit.

19 hits. All right. Wait, hang on, hang on. No hit. Our 3 has more AC than that. So you see pinks off of the armored plates around him. Okay. Well, I got a second attack.

Hostel. Hostel. Oh, no. Even with advantage, it's still going to miss. Shit. Okay. Did you roll a one or a two? I rolled one, but then the other was a three.

That's a fail. Two in the same turn. So machine gun break. No. Okay. What the fuck are you doing back there? Okay. I have a bonus action.

Can Rover try to fix the gun? Yeah, go ahead. Rover, do something. Make yourself useful. I'm going to get in trouble. That is a 19 to fix the gun. 19 fixes it. Back to one and two failure.

Okay. He's good at fixing it. I'll say that. All right. After Ox's turn, that is the jail breaker's turn. That means just R3 now. So R3 freaking spider walks. over to the South Avenue Jimmies.

They all start fucking screaming. Fucking Spider! Spider! And are shooting at it. OX, do you want to move from that caravan? You want to skitch anywhere? Yeah, I guess I'll skitch from there to the Hammer and Circuit caravan to get some plus to my AC. Okay, you go over to Hammer & Circuits. I'll say it's still going to go for South Avenue Jimies.

So three hits on the Jimmies. Jimis are down to two. Oh, boy. Okay. So the Jimmy's. are looking bad. You see R3 is wreaking fucking havoc. It just turns into like a spider of blades

break dancing in the middle of them. Just like taking out tires, knocking guys back. That is Adam's turn. I'm going to sketch over to where R3 is and say R3, stop, this isn't you. This is me by Mothership Fuel Gruel. Mothership, mini meals are

nutritious for the whole family. You've been hacked. Hostile, hostile creatures. Kill screams die. You got malware. You have malware. I have good nutrition from mothership fuel gruel. Everyone eat mothership fuel gruel. Robots love eating food. Did you click on any suspicious links? No. That's how they got him. All right. I'm going to take two attacks. Go ahead and give me a perception check to see if you can find the restraining bolt. Ah, that's just a six. Yes, I'll just take two attacks, I guess. Twenty-three for the Gatling gun. Cool. And a 28. Both hit R3.

Okay. So a bunch of the jimmies, they're giving you advantage. They're doing cover fire. This guy's a fucking freak! Just sword, spider spinning around, breakdancing. He's just misunderstood. 29 damage. Sweets.

Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Hostile creature, destroy. Destroy kill screams. Arcades are bad. You don't remember us, Audrey? I remember you.

I remember hating you. I hate you. You always hated us? Always. Always and forever. Come on. We're labors. Yeah.

Why, you used to be so nice. Only person I like is Mothership, friends. You would come over for a charge late at night sometimes. Yeah, I remember coming over for a charge and resenting it. Artree, someone rewrote your narrative. After Adam at Initiative 10, you see Mothership Gunners with laser rifles and jetpack fly in and attack the caravan. First attack hits, and then they're going to take four attacks shooting. at ox here.

Oh, okay. First one is their heavy plasma gun. Misses. Yay. Plinks off the hammer and circuits guys flank you with their armored vehicles. Pinks off one of them. Then it's going to take a laser rifle attack. 24 to hit.

24 is going to hit even if I did my shield. Okay, 10 damage. Okay, but I got some temp HP from being a hammer and circuits too. Then they take two laser pistol attacks at you. That is going to be two hits. Another 20 piercing damage. Okay. Hello, everybody.

me up inside the wall. And if you would like to avoid the situation, it's actually very avoidable. You can use Rocket Money.

Hope you have a wonderful day. Bye-bye. Okay. Those mothership gunners are up in there. They are healthy. No joke. Top of the round. That is slug. I will take my attacks on these guys. The gunners? On the gunners. Okay. But my very first turn, I am going to magnetic weapon to see if I can hit Autry.

Oh, sweet. Yeah, you can potentially hit two of them. 13. 13 misses both. Brutal. 14. 14? Yeah. Okay, that misses. This is with advantage, too.

Brutal. Oh, boy. I'm going to use my final adrenaline rush till the next short rest to bonus action dash at these gunners. Okay, go for it. Nice. 17 hits. Oh, thank God.

16 damage. Okay, 16 damage. DC 16 strength save or fall prone. Okay. They pass, but you do manage to take one guy out, So they only have four attacks now. So one guy, you shoulder out of the air, and he just falls under the fucking hammering circuit's vans.

It gets crushed. No! Oh, because I did hit them, though, I can cleave. Try and cleave onto R3. You can also just cleave onto it. With a squad like this, I'll let you just attack the same squad twice. That's two-two. Christ.

Okay. Get some new dice. This is too much. These are the same dice that was rolling good for me. Quangar, you've abandoned us. Quangar. After Slug, that is Ox's turn. I'm going to skitch back over.

High five Slug. I'm going to skitch back over to the jimmies so I can get advantage on this attack. Okay. And are you going to use the machine gun or what are you going to use? I'm going to use my new machine gun. Okay, sick. My new augment. Hell yeah.

I got a gun too. Don't worry about your gun, all right? With advantage, that's going to be 23. Okay, yeah. You ride over, skitch over to the jimmies. They give you a bunch of cover fire. All right, after these assholes, they start. shooting the gunners with you. Okay, that's 30 damage. Wow. Okay. There are two gunners left. Okay.

One of them is very injured and one of them is, uh, hanging in there. All right. Can I see if I get this gun back? Yeah. That's a six, baby. Oh, six. Okay. That, it has to be the next turn. Oh, next turn. Okay, it's back. The heavy machine gun reloads for next turn, uh, but you can still attack with whatever else you have. Okay. Can I go back to their turret gun and borrow their? Yeah, you go back to the turret gun. It has been repaired, so go ahead and make an attack. You guys, can I borrow you again? I won't break it again, I promise. Don't fucking break it, all right? Okay, I did admit that's a 16

to hit those guys. 16 misses, yeah, they have AC-17. Can Rover pull the trigger on it? Rover can pull the trigger. It'll be one through four is a fail on this one. Okay, Rova. You know, I was going to tell you how to shoot it, but I've actually broken it several times.

So you just do your thing. That's a 19 from Rover. 19 hits. Okay, Rova. These guys are low enough HP. that with all the damage that the big machine gun turrets do,

no way you don't take them out. So fucking, Rover fills these guys with fucking lead. Was that Rover's first kill? Beep, bo, beep. You murdered somebody, Rover. Good boy.

You must be such a proud parent right now. Yeah, you see one of the guys, he just like breaks their jetpack with the gun, falls in front of the caravan, and then Rover just cold-bloodedly, fills him with lead as he's about to be run over. A single-tier rose.

down my cheek. Save one of the good drinks for Rover. He's earned it. Okay, sweet. When I moved over to Hammer and Circuits, would that mean that I would have gotten that temp HP? Yes. Your Temp. HP refills anytime you go to Hammered Circuit. Sick. Great call. Can I skitch back over to Hammer and Circuits at the end of that turn? Yes. At the end of the turn, you skitch back over to Hammer and Circuits. You can refill your Temp. Okay. At Initiative 20, you guys make it out of the town square of Zone 2 and begin weaving through alleys. There are all these seedy bars with neon lights. The windows have been broken out and jailbreakers are firing shots at you. They will take shots at, I guess, each of the caravan.

So first attack at hammer and circuits, misses. Shot at Red Trip. Hits. Hits. 15. Slug. Sneaking out of an alley on rollerblades is an old... Oh, Spithrid. Is an old enemy?

You motherfucker, didn't I already beat you? Yeah, so I guess it's time for a rematch, isn't it? Is it really a rematch if you're sneaking up on me? It is. It is. This counts. There is integrity in this. You see Spithrid rides out from the alley. Makes an attack on hammer and circuits.

It's the three. This is beneath you. Fails? First attack. Nothing is beneath me. I will have my revenge. This is between you. That's true.

Not a lot is beneath you because a lot of times I get you prone and you fall in your ass. Ha ha ha ha. Fuck you. That wasn't even that funny. That fucking sucked ass. Fuck you. Yeah, okay. It was sweaty, but so am I.

Yeah, I never been, I never been ashamed to be sweaty. With your unoptimal humanoid body. Ha. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah, you sweat. I sweat too, just for fun.

Yeah, you would. You should try it. You would. Fuck off. Spathreed has to take three attacks to get into the caravan because Spithrid only hit once. So hits the one time. Hammer and Circuits is now down to two. But Spithrid is now up in the mix there. And then that is R3's turn. R3 is up in the Jimmy's business. Is going to take cracks? Is anyone there? Adam is right? I am. Okay, so he's going to take some cracks at Adam here. R3 be reasonable. You hate mothership.

I love mothership. Mothership is good for the jailbreakers. It's going to take a slam attack at Adam. Nat 1 misses. Maybe something in R3's heart is telling him not to attack you. But then laser turrets come out of his stomach and he shoots twice. Search your gut. Oh, no, you found a gun.

27. I'm going to impose disadvantage with Lucky. I'll rewold the first one with disadvantage again. First, laser turret misses, shoots off, and then takes a third attack, laser turret attack. And that is 19 to hit. Yes, that hits. Okay. 14 force damage. Okay. After our three's turn, that is back to Adam's turn.

I'm going to pull out all the stops to try and find this bolt now. Okay, go ahead. At this point, I'll say you guys have been fighting for a while. You can make a perception check with advantage. Great. Uh, fuck, that's a five and a two, but I said, I'm pulling all the stops. I have a bard of inspiration. I have my Maverick Spirit, which is an extra D8.

Great. And I have my built for success. Cool. Come on. So this is a five plus a bunch of shit. Look closer. 18. 18.

Okay. You spot a restraining bolt on the back of R3's neck. If you are able to hit this, you can destroy it. one hit, but it is really hard to hit. It is AC25. So you will have to gamify things like within the caravan of getting advantage, of getting Bartik inspiration, et cetera. But you think this is probably the thing that is infecting R3. Yeah. All right. I'm going to ride over to the Red Trip. Okay. If you do that, you will get your Bartic inspiration back, but R3 will get one crack. Sure. Okay. R3 takes a crack with a reaction, hits, uh, slugs you for 10 damage.

Worth it. You re-up on your bardic. I go over there and I just take a big lick of ice cream. You get so fucking excited. Yummy. Rain freeze. And then I'm going to zip back over. Hell yeah.

I'm kind of like weaving through and getting lost in the crowd. And then I'm just going to like kind of try and jump up from behind and grab onto this bolt. Hell yeah. Can I try and shoot it off? Yeah, for sure. All right. Hell yeah. I pull out my sniper rifle and I'm just going to like get this bolt in my sights and try and knock it off.

Okay. First attack plus 10 with a D6. That's a Nat 20. Wow! Okay. Once again, you see... Krangar is back. Adam just coldly assembles a sniper rifle

as soon as you are finally able to find it. Yeah, you see R3 was moving around super erratically and doing this kind of spider attack. You see, finally, the restraining bolt makes itself clear and describe what happens as you shoot with your sniper rifle. My vision goes red. Red is a cranberry. I light up a big cigar.

I get R3 in my sights. And I think back to all of the times we've crossed paths before, all of the skitching tournaments, all the times that, you know, as fellow automatones, we've helped each other out of binds. We've shared batteries. We've shared so much more. We're more alike than we are apart.

And I free them once again from this shackle of mothership. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. You shoot the restraining bolt off as you do. You see R3. starts glitching. Fully, like, falls out of the caravan and is, like, taking some time to reset. But then seems to, like, write himself and, like, with, like, some rocket boosters, flies up and joins the caravan and goes,

I can't remember everything that happened, but thank you, thank you, Adam. Just remember that mothership did this, and this is the last time they'll do anything like it. Yes, I will remember this. I will send out the signal. No true jailbreaker will attack you from. now on. We will help you get home. Oh. R3. You see, R3 is going to...

Wait, hey, R3. Elma was murdered. Yes, I do remember that part. I remember being kind of okay with it at the time, which makes me think that maybe someone did some... Well, I know they did something to mess with my head. Okay. Okay, never mind then. Just wanted to give you a software update and since you already had one.

Very much. Appreciate that. So you see, R3 is going to ride ahead. and now on the jailbreakers actions, there are going to be no more jailbreakers joining the melee. Yes. However, you do notice, Spithrid, up in the mix here, does not leave with R3. And Adam, as you look over and you see like the silhouette of Spathreed

skitching through hammer and circuits after Slug, you recognize the silhouette as being one of the attackers of Elmer. Like Spathreed. Like Spathreed was in on it before R3 maybe was even Slugs. It's her. It was always her.

She's part of the coalition. You're never going to fucking skate again once I'm done with you. Except in hell. I am the greatest skitcher that has ever existed. I should be the leader of the jailbreakers and I will be after I destroy you. If that's the case, how come you can't beat me?

We'll see about that. Oh, ho. Drown her in Krangar's bog. Uh, Adam. That was just one attack, right? Sure was. So you have another attack. All right, I'm going to stick with the jimmies because I need that advantage on range.

Sweet. That's 18 to hit. 18 does hit spithrid. Okay. That's 18 damage. Okay. Can I try and use my grappling hook to grapple on to spithrid skates? You can do it to get over to the caravan.

Okay, I'll do that. Yeah. If you want to get over into Hammer and Surveillance. Yeah, I'll do that. Sweet. You get over to the Hammer and Circuits caravans. At Initiative 10, that is the mothership action. You see, weaving through this traffic, you see a big military van pulls out from around a corner and drives in front of you. Mothership soldiers open up the back door and drop off a squad of mothership enforcers. They roll out the back as these big metal balls and then assemble themselves like transformers. The first thing they're going to do is, is everyone in Hammer and,

circuits right now? Yeah. All right. They're all going for hammered circuits. Another hit for hammered circuits. Hammer and circuits is down to one. They will then, hey, why not? Finish off hammer and circuits. They do. Hammer and circuits has been destroyed, but they can repair themselves. Oh, okay. So that they're going to lose one of their things. So what do you guys want hammer and circuits to lose? The temp HP, because we all got it at the end of our turns. Oh, yeah, yeah. All right, temp HP boost is gone, and they are back up to to three. Now they're going to do one attack on, let's say, why not? They'll do it on Slug because otherwise they're going to get disadvantaged. So they're going to do a slam attack on Slug. And they hit

with AC20. They do hit with AC20. 14 damage to you Slug. I'll use my, I'll use my interception reaction. 11 damage negated. Nice. Whoa. Okay. So I think I still got 10th HP. Okay, sick. All right. Great. All right. So a bunch of the hammer and circuits, cars, have to back off, but a bunch of the other ones changed their shift to repairing the car that was giving you guys medical support has to back off, but the one that was giving you guys shields, sticks

around. At Initiative 22, Slug, that is your turn. Okay, I'm going to attack recklessly on Spitzreed. You know the problem is that we go to all these other crews and they got these young pups nipping at the heels of their elders. No

appreciation for the older people who made the crew what it was. You all want reinvent it for yourself. As James would say, the disrespect. It's the disrespect. You're damn right. It's disrespectful. Look, mothership has deep pockets.

We can get a lot of tech add-ons. I'm going to have to immediately use my bodic. 22 to hit. 22 hits spithrid. And then I'm also going to switch to my monstrosity. So I become lodge. Okay. So you see a bunch of the vials on Slug's back?

I think I take a vial out of my back and I take a bite out. outfit. What? You eat needles? 24 hit. Hits. 38 damage to SP3. Shit, okay.

That's no joke. Spithrid's starting to look fucked up. And then with my bonus action, I'm going to give someone some temp HP. I know we already got it, so you'll have to undo this, but it's a decent amount. I'm going to give hit OX with 11 temp HP. Nice. Hey, thanks. Yeah, you're welcome.

Okay, sweets. Stay safe out there. Stay safe. Hey, I will. You just ate a vial. Kyle, you got glass in your gums. Yeah, no, I do. Yeah, my gums are bleeding.

Yeah. When are they not, though? Yeah, you're right. After sucks turns, Ox, that's your turn. You know, I'm going to dip to the trip, and I'm going to try to attack Spathreed with my mall. Okay. Wow.

That is two shoutouts to the two crew. Yikes. On my first attack. The dice are humbling us. Yeah, but I got a second attack, so why not? It's 24. Hits. Spithrid starts looking nervous, sees all of these nearby jailbreaker bots start like coming back online and start just attacking random mothership soldiers that they see. Wait, so Spitreed, are you not even like hacked? You're just impetus?

No, I'm hacked. Ah! They got me! Oh my God. Well, I got to say, you are not an actress. I know my type. That's 12 damage and she's got to do a save or fall prone. Okay. She's going to get toppled. Stays up. Okay, Rova, let it rip. Beep, beep. Rover's still over at the gun, so can he shoot her? Nice. Shoe with advantage with a huge fucking machine gun, sure.

19 to hit Spithrid. Hits, Jesus. Yes. Boa got my back. Rover is ready to murder somebody again. Rover, you've done it. Welcome to the party. 25 damage.

Okay, Spathreed is looking very fucked up. Spathre you later. At initiative, 20. You guys see the towering barricades between zone two and one, heavily manned. There is an army here. There are mothership drop ships flying low in the sky shooting machine guns. There are snipers and turrets and rocket launchers. You are far enough away that most of the projectiles miss. And in fact, you see that R3 was able to apparently get like a message out because you see a lot of the jailbreaker robots are now attacking the mothership guards that they were next to. So there's still a ton of mothership there, and there's still a ton of jailbreakers that maybe have decided to stick with mothership or maybe haven't gotten the plan yet or just like fucking confused. But there's just like a full on fucking battle going on there.

You see a giant missile explodes out from this blockade as you guys take a hard right turn towards the warehouse district. Everybody go ahead and give me deck saving throws to avoid the fire damage from the missile. Another dirty 20. 23. It's going to be an 18. Okay, you guys all manage to avoid it. You do take half damage. The half damage is just eight fire damage.

Oh, I hate fire. At initiative 15, Spithrid acts. No new jailbreakers come, though, but Spithrid still hates Slug is going to go ahead and take some attacks at Slug. You hate fire, don't you? Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, I do. What about it? She's going to go ahead and shoot oil at that.

You go ahead and give me a DC-14 deck save. That's dangerous sense. What are you, what are you, cuckoo? That's not a fire. That's oil. That's fine, because I got it 24. Okay, so the oil slick does nothing. Except makes my muscles look incredible. It just gets you glistening. Wow, you're greased up.

You're super greased up. Thank you. Then she's going to, fuck you. She's going to spew flame. This will not do extra damage if you were covered in the oil. It would have. but go ahead and give me another deck saving throw to get out of the way of the fire. 21.

You pass, you only take half, you take seven damage. Yeah. Seven fire damage, though. And then she's just going to say, fuck you, and just try to slug you. You can't slug the slug. And then 15 to hit you with a slug. Okay, three fucking whiffs on the slug. I cackle in her face.

Man, it feels like we're back a skitching. You're damn right, we are, and we're going to win this time. Because I'm winning and you're losing. Shut up. You're losing. We replaying the last match of something is Spithrid. After Spithrid's turn, that's back to Adam.

Wow, yeah, these are Spithrid lowlights. It's a low light rail for you. Come on. Put on a better show. I'm getting bored, and I need to look for some chrome ass. I'm going to try to use my drill arm to get Spithrid prone. Sweet. 13?

13 does not hit. Spithrid moves out of the way. Too slow. All right. Old tech. Dodge this, then. I'm going to just shoot her with a gun. That's a 26.

That hits. All right. 18 damage. 18 damage. Spathrid is on death's door, sparking and whirring. You've got to rely on your own tech. Mother ship can't save you now. Beep, beep, boop, boop, boop. Just sounds like Rover at this point.

Just spinning, arms, sparking. What'd you say, bud? Just a wild flailing of limbs. You vanguard, the Krangar. After Adam's turn, you see another squad of mothership knights fly out on motorcycles trying to cut you off as you enter the warehouse district. They are going to try to break into hammer and circuits. Okay, I'm going to say they're just going to take all of their cracks on hammer and circuits. They got five attacks. They did

hit three times. So hammer and circuits is once again wasted. They cannot repair anymore. So hammer and circuits at this point has to disperse. So, okay, I'll really take care of yourself. Thanks for you to help. Hey, yeah, save yourself. I'll see you guys when this all comes down. You see it in the newsreels. We'll see you at the barbecue. In the newsreels. You see he's just in a smoking, flaming van. I'll make it back.

He's fine. Careful, the dice in your rear view mirror are... We're asking everyone to bring either chips or a drink. Yeah. Okay, so Drill and those guys are getting ready to back off. The mothership nights are up there with you guys, but had to use actions to do that. However, the enforcers, they rolled out of the van.

Oh, yeah, the Rolie boys. Check out these little Bolly boys. Don't call us a Bolly boy, you fucker. And you guys are just out in the open because you guys were in the hammer and circuits that are not there anymore. Do you have any bullshit upslug that's making a mad? Any fumes?

Yep, maddening fumes. Maddening fumes. They're fucking closing in on you. So first things first, they will do an attack called a disruptive pole. So they stab into you with this like taser thing and try to shock you. Give me an intelligence saving throw.

I swear I didn't steal nothing. You know that's going to be a seven. Okay, roll a D6. One. Okay, weapon jam, minus two to all attack rolls until the end of your next turn. Oh, no. Okay?

So your arm starts, like, spasming as you lose feeling in it. And then they will take four more attacks. A plasma cannon attack, only an 11 to hit, misses. Misses. I'll take another plasma cannon attack, 17. Misses. Misses. Okay, and then two slam attacks.

18 and an 18? 18 hits. Okay, 23 bludgeoning damage. After the enforcers' turn, that is back up to the top of the order. That is Slug's turn. Kick these balls. I am not letting myself get distracted. I'm like literally getting beat up behind me, but I haven't broken eye contact with three.

Yeah. You know, well, you and I, we could have had a heated rivalry thing, you know, through pro athletes, something romantic could have been there, but... Really? Yeah. Oh, interesting. Should we... Wow, things are pretty tense here.

Like I said, you're a terrible actress, and that's my type. Does an 18 hit? 18 hits. I will also a magnetic weapon, that first one. Does 18 hit the other crew? 18 will hit. Do you want enforcers or knights? Enforces. Okay. Go ahead and do your damage on Spithrid and the enforcers.

18 damage. Spathreed is gone. Finish Spathreed. I think I had fun. I had fun with my chains in her. So I think I'm going to take the chains off my chest, wrap it around her, and then sort of drag her behind us,

like the cans on a just-married. Hell, yeah. Okay, so yeah. That's all you are to me now, just a couple of cans. No, no, I deserve my rematch. You're just scrap metal. You're just scrap metal.

As she yells that she's the greatest getcher of all time, you wrap this chain around her, you kick her behind you. You see she begins tumbling behind the caravan of like the motorcycles of the red trip and the ice cream trucks of the red trip. You see pieces are flying off until less metal, less metal, less metal, until there's just one hulking husk left that just clatters like a tin can behind them. See ya. Just married.

Just buried. And then my second attack on them? Great. You engage with the enforcers? 30 20. 30 20 hits. And then because I brought someone to zero, I get to attack as a bonus act. Sick.

Damn. 24. 24 hits. 33 damage. Wow. Okay. These guys are super hurt. Only two enforcers left.

More scrap metal is added to the tin cans that are following the red trip. Does anyone trying to make like an art installation thing in the desert? Because I got a lot of scrap metal. That is kind of my vibe. Eddie goes, that could actually be something I could get into. Yeah, you got to go to like the wastes or something like that and start some kind of art installation. Yeah, right on. But no fire.

No fire there. Do you want to move to a different caravan now? Because hammering circuits, they're at initiative 20 at the next layer action. They're going to have to peel off. I'm going to go ahead and move to the red trip. Okay, great. OX, that is your turn. Okay.

I'm going to move to the South Avenue, Jimenez. Because guess who got his gun back? I forgot that I rolled a six. My machine gun's ready to do. Oh, nice. So I'm gonna train at these last two enforcers. Great on. I'll get advantage over here.

17 to hit. 17 hits. 22 damage. Okay. The enforcers are on death's door. There is one left. They only get one attack now. Okay.

I'm gonna see if I can take them out with my sawed off blunderbuss. Hell yeah. That is 19 to hit. 19 to hit. Even with minimum damage, you blow this last enforcers head off. Yes.

It is gone. The enforcers have been. eliminated. There is a squad of nights on motorcycles that are still up in your business, though. Okay. Rova, you know what to do. That's a 21. Hits. A rover shoots the fucking machine

gun again and hits. Rover's a fucking MVP. Rova, I'm getting you a gun. Okay? You've proven to be very responsible. I'm going to look at Adam and be like, Rufo could get to be a problem. Are we worried? A little bit of blood lust might be happening. It's going right to his head.

Beep, beep, blood. Blood. Blood. Blood boop. Blood boop. 17 damage from Rover's gun. No joke. Takes out a couple of the mothership nights there. All right, fine. I'll hold the drinks now.

Adam, can you take Rova cruising for bots? He deserves it after this. Okay. Round five at Initiative 20. You guys take a hard turn and avoid the heavy fire coming from the barricades. You see warehouses all around you, these old derelict factories

that used to make things before mothership came to town. Most of them are boreded. up. There are several dropships that were on the blockade that are chasing you now. And from one, you see the prototype hanging out. And you hear a booming voice.

Seems like he can like change his voice box to be louder, almost like a megaphone. And you just hear his voice go, this has gone on long enough. I agree. You see, he jumps out of the drop ship and lands on the ground

in front of the caravan and holds his hands out. You see, the first rows of cars and bikes are lifted by his telekinesis. Everybody give me decks or strength saves to try to avoid getting caught up in the wreckage. 21, 12. Okay. 18. Okay. That is a half for Slug and Ox. You take eight damage. And Adam, you take 16 damage. Okay. As a bunch of these cars are like thrown. But the rest of the caravans keep going, and you guys blow by the prototype,

who just turns and starts walking towards you guys and then just starts running at, like, supernatural speed. Then that takes us all the way down to Initiative 10. Mothership drones drop out of the drop ship and are going to take six shots down with, like, super quick lasers. They're going to shoot at the jimmies because you guys are all up in the jimmies. They managed to hit, get it down. you guys have to lose machine gun or advantage on the melee attacks. Oh, I think we'd probably want the advantage on the range of attacks, though, since we're all here. Okay, yeah.

Sorry, Rova. Directly hits Rover's machine gun, blows it up. Rover flies back like R2D2 getting hit by a blast. Rover. I'll get you a new one, okay? And then they'll take shots down at OX here. Three hits. All above 21, if I use the shield.

If you use the shield, there will only be one hit. Oh, all right. I'll toss up my magnetic shield just in time. Sweet, you go to grab rover, you shield rover, a barrier comes up. You eat all of the drone fire. You just take six damage from one hit. Oh, you still got hemp HP. Woo. Hell yeah.

The mothership knights that are still there are going to act. They're not engaged with anyone right now, so they're going to go up. I'll say they're going the red trip and they'll go after slug. So first things first, they have to hit the red trip. They do. Two attacks left to go after slug. Slug, miss both times. Yes.

Laser swords. Pink off your hockey stick as you parry it and fight back. That is back to the top of the round. Slug's turn. You guys see you're nearing at Initiative 20. It looks like you're going to make it to this warehouse. Okay. Okay.

Who does it seem like is the biggest obstacle to us getting there? It looks like the prototype is falling a little bit into the background. It's not as far as R3. So it looks like he's not going to get to you this turn. In fact, it looks like he's maybe running back to one of the draw. Prop ships. Because he wants to find us in zone one. But there's mothership knights that are on motorcycles after you guys.

Okay. Then I'll go after them. 24 on the first one? Hits. Would a 17 hit? Yes. 25 damage. 25 damage.

Okay, you take out another couple of the knights. And two con saves or fall prone on your motorcycles? They fall prone. So you see these motorcycles collapse as they fall back. You guys have this like poultry crew here. A lot of the Red Trip have had to back off. Hammer and circuits have had to completely back off. The jimmies are looking pretty rough.

You see there's bullet holes all in the sides of their coops and their wagons. And at initiative 20, you guys arrive at the correct warehouse. Adam, you recognize this as being the one you saw Elmer entering, but this time things are a little different. As soon as you enter the hangar, you see this airship explodes out of the warehouse. taking out a wall over the entrance. There's a thruster going out of the back. There's a crew that's scrambling to lift the sails.

As you see, the Hampson sisters and big mini are working. I get my chain off my chest and I get ready to kind of grappling hook myself on. Hell yes. You see at the wheel is specter avoiding drone fire as best you can. Get in. We're going home. Yeah, I catch a link of my chain onto like a stray nail. And then I kick up.

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Bring us off. I'll say the Hamson sisters will use their turn. They throw ropes down to you guys. As you guys all climb up onto the back of the ship, you see the South Avenue jimmies fucking peel off in one direction. The Red Trip peel off in the other direction.

There are jailbreakers fighting mothership nights. It is fucking chaos here. And in that chaos, the airship takes off and you guys escape this insane melee. You take off into the sky. The ship roarship. rumbles as it takes heavy fire. You see the Hampson sisters pull out big machine guns and start taking out drones that are following them. Oh, they're loud.

Eventually, you guys get high enough that the lasers from the ground can no longer hit you. You even see you get out of reach of the drop ships as you climb, climb, climb, and eventually fly over the zone two barricade and enter zone one. Yes. Below you, you see the light of your city. You see the light of Zone 1. You can see the arcade in the distance. And above you, you see the stars. Spector runs over.

Gives you guys a big hug. The Hamson and Sisters and Big Biddy run over to you guys and give you hugs. You made it. We did it. It's so good to see you. Yeah. Oh, my God. We're almost home.

Slug, like, wants to really enjoy the moment, but this is her first time being in the sky. So she just drops. to the deck like a scared dog. Yeah. What's still like totally safe in here? I'm just like used to relying on my own physical body to move around. There's just so many stars.

Yeah, you see all of these stars up in the sky as you begin to make your way back in Zone 1, you see you're beginning to leave the fight behind in Zone 2, cross over into like your own barricades. And it seems like they're not going to be able to bring over a force in MASS. but then you hear a clunk and you feel a shake as something hits your airship. Then the sound of clawing and scraping as the prototype climbs onto the deck. You have something that belongs to us. And that's where we'll end our session.

Here we go. And we'll be two weeks. We'll be the final battle. will be the finale of this season of gangs of Neil Glader on. We will... Provided they survive, we will come back to these characters.

But next fight will be the last. This is the boss. Let's do it. Climes up onto the deck here. I can't believe it. A fight amongst the stars. Hell yeah.

What a backdrop. Battle for the stars. Let's do it. We will talk more about this over on our Patreon. Patreon.com slash Nadpod. That's any DDPOD. Do not sing yet?
