Starting point is 00:00:00 We're at the height of our powers We're at the height of our powers And top of the tallest in towers We'll never stop us now We're at the height of our power Until it's turning out just like to play We've got a way So wrong is long
Starting point is 00:00:17 But our mojo is strong And unless I'm wrong And I'm not We're at the height of our power We pick back off Right where we left off Lamar and Navy, you have just made it outside of the volcano. You see your friends mid-combat, surrounded by river city enforcement agents who do not look happy to be there,
Starting point is 00:00:55 shrouded in darkness from the blacked out sky above. Lamar has this shield and says, I'll do my best man to, like, protect you guys and try to take hits. You just tell me where you want me to post up. Yeah, I was thinking maybe you could post up the edge of your shield. into the head of that guy right there or that guy right there like hard. Yeah, I think my friend's endorsing whole scale murder. Um, well, that's tough for a passive.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Yeah, wild to come out swing. We've known each other for about three minutes, man, and you're challenging my belief system, but I'm going to do my best to still protect you because that's like what heroes do. Well, hold on. Actually, I didn't even think about this. Hold on one second. Hey, River City first, guys. Are you all pacifists as well?
Starting point is 00:01:42 No, no. No. No. Yeah, shoot. None of you? Shoot. Did you hear that, Lamar? So, Lamar, these guys are going to kill us.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah, man, and I'm going to protect you. I'll take the hits. Okay, great. So you tell Lamar where you want him to stand, and he is going to try to keep some of the heat off while you guys fight. Cool. Lamar, why don't you sort of post up by the east?
Starting point is 00:02:13 gate there and see if you can't just kind of like block people from coming in towards us. All right, man. I got you. I don't know how you're going to do that without hitting a little bit, but it's up, I guess that's up to you to figure it. All right. Give him shell. And he goes through a high five.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Cool. What, that's cool. Give him shell. That's cool. Yeah. I mean, I got to take that down. High five. Let's show what do?
Starting point is 00:02:36 All right. Navy, what do you do? I look around, I look at Roger. I say, what's the, what's the sitch? How many of you guys taking out? Um, two. Take it out. Maybe two.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Two is not a lot. Okay. Um, well, time for me to, uh, bust out some of my new tricks. Um, I'm going to run over to this fountain at the center of the square here. I assume that's what this circular water feature is. Correct. And I'm going to just kind of get in there while charging up the splash pack. and right as this group of RFC soldiers, goons,
Starting point is 00:03:21 uh, roll up on me. I'm going to look at them and say, well, let's get it wet. And I'm going to launch myself up into the air to a incredible triple luts up there, spread eagle, uh, horizontally, sort of aligning myself with the ground and bring myself down on these 10 guys in a glorious food.
Starting point is 00:03:47 You're writing a gigantic check with very few roles here. I'm hearing a lot of adjectives that you're just kind of... When dropping down on a group of enemies from a significant height, Navy SEAL can deal damage to the group with a single rule. I'm hearing a lot of graceful, elegant, devastating. I hear a lot of flavor text. First things first, we need to use the hydro-repulsion roll to launch you into the air. So that's 5D8, since it's your signature item.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And it's upgraded. I have not used any time to shine dice. I'll use one for this. I imagine I'll probably need more for the actual attack. 68 common at you. That's two successes. Very glad that I used my 68 there. Because there were a lot of red colored dice in the mix as well.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Now, but wait, Griffin. What if the two Time to Shine dice he used were the first two failures? I only used one. So that's a good point. I could have just wasted that. Dang, you don't think about that stuff, do you? You try not to think about probability. No, man, you don't, you know and ever thinks about how much statistics and probability play into tabletop role-playing games.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Thank you, John. It all seems like fun and devil worship. And then you find out there's math involved? Yeah. That's chased many away. Yeah, man. More devil, less division. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:06 True. Griffin. Yeah. So with your phone. Yes. that is going to be a 48 roll for it being a Mondo move the number of successes you get are going to be the number of guys that you're able to knock back
Starting point is 00:05:23 you could also add time to shine dice to this if you wish okay I'm going to add two more time to shine dice to this to try and get 68 and really really just try to wreck it I'm gonna wreck it that's more like it five successes
Starting point is 00:05:44 with two eights which is I think what even is that in a mega cowabung yeah mega cowabunga so yeah with a mega cowbunga all let's see
Starting point is 00:05:54 eight of the guys eight of the ten go flying they are not knocked unconscious or anything but they are definitely some distance away now some of them landed on top of buildings
Starting point is 00:06:11 yeah they're probably not going to be a concern for a while. This was like that moment. I was always confused in like Zena and Hercules where sometimes they would hit people and it would be like a bar fight and sometimes they would hit people and the people would go flying backwards
Starting point is 00:06:24 through walls and overbuildings. This was one of the, they went flying backwards through walls and overbuildings. It would be great if like in the next scene like one of those guys comes back and is like out of breath. Like dang man, you really sent me a far way away from the fight
Starting point is 00:06:39 but I'm here to pick it back up. What I'm imagining to is like when you hit the ground with the food, not only is it the force of your body when being a bulky boy. Yeah. But there's also like water expelled from your splashback, like one of those like squishy. A cushioning.
Starting point is 00:06:53 But it's also like sprays out, you know what I mean? Yeah. You all definitely still do here. Oh! Oh! It still doesn't feel it, but that's how you know it worked. And it is a food. And Roger, I'm also going to say since of your proximity,
Starting point is 00:07:11 and this has no effect on you. on like mechanically, but your shoes do get a little wet from the splash. Because you're in the splash zone. Sorry about that. Okay. Sorry, bro. Sorry, bro. But that has cleared out the West track pretty well. You got two more guys over there.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I look up at those two guys like seriously. And they stand and they kind of they. We got, we got wet, but we didn't get drenched. You know what I mean? Yeah. But he was intimidating. I appreciate that. Can we maybe skip a turn?
Starting point is 00:07:45 You need to catch your breath, man? Yeah, I don't catch my ribs. A foon will do that to you, man. Lyle, it's your turn. You've got some guys here. You're over in the shadows in the bushes. And two of the RCF agents have approached your location. You could see them kind of sweeping their maglites around,
Starting point is 00:08:07 but they have not spotted you. What do you do? This is perfect. This is exactly... This is exactly where I want them. I am... going to... ...mimic the sound of a cricket.
Starting point is 00:08:28 But a big one. Like a big cricket. To where they're like. That's weird. Chirp, chirr! Yeah, exactly like that, Griffith. Thank you. Actually, that's...
Starting point is 00:08:37 That's weird. That's the exact sound I was going to make. So I'll just have you do that whenever I need a little bit of the old peppery cup. But yeah, so I'm going to make like a big manly cricket noise. You could just like... chirp, chirr! Yeah, I'm going to try to lure several of them over.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Okay. Roll? I'm looking here and it doesn't seem like you have any special skills in this area. No, that's what makes it art. Okay, 2D8, please. Huh, mixed success. Okay, with a mixed success, two more like, I gotta investigate what's going on over here, but the two that are looking have found you.
Starting point is 00:09:21 The two that were already there, I mean. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay. Do they clock somebody in the bushes? Yes. Perfect. And they're going to attack you now.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Don't take another step, man. Uh. Hmm. My name's... My name's Dr. Bush. And you're... Oh, Dr. Bush. And I don't know how to tell you this, but you have a pestation problem.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Okay. Yeah, man. You. Look around... No, look around you. You've got some serious problems with bugs. And I'm... And Dr. Bush is here to sort it out.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Come close. Look at this ash beetle. All right. Roll 2.8 for me? That's a bit. success. Yeah, that's a mixed success. One of them's like, oh, ash beetle, that's rare in this location. I'm pretty sure that's an invasive species. But the other one is going to take a swing at you. Oh. Wow. Jesus, creases. I don't think kids can hear Jesus. No? Is it like a
Starting point is 00:10:39 listen with their heart? No, it's actually at a pitch too low for child ears to hear. That's, so Travis has rolled in... Jesus, take the wheel. An 8-3-8. So a triple mega-cabonga? Well, so on attack, it just means the eight can't be defended and goes through any armor, but Axelot also doesn't have any armor. So Axelot is going to take three points of damage. And so Lamar's base defense is three. So one's going to take a swing at him, and he blocks the two hits that would have come from that one. The other one takes a swing of them,
Starting point is 00:11:21 and he blocks the two hits from there. It's graceful. He's moving like the wind. There is no anger to it, but rather, as the wind moves a feather, so does Lamar move his shield? Roger. Oh, not all of those guys.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But they move for... That's my whole turn. That's all I get to do is make a cricket noise? And even I did it. To be fair, Justin, you made a cricket noise and pretended to, and I can't tell if you were trying to be a bush or some kind of like... I was just making conversation.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize. It's just chat. I'm just being neighborly. So the Dr. Bush thing was just a coincidence? It was just plover, man. It's just being neighborly. Just like, for the podcast, you have to say something.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah. Yeah. It's a rap sash. You can't just like look menacing or be quiet. Well, I just want to point out that I could have been quiet And that would have hidden me better But that doesn't make for a very good podcast
Starting point is 00:12:27 But there were two guys already drawn to your location Looking for you And you're like, here's what I want More guys looking for me You're right, Traff It would have been way smarter You could have attacked them You have a lot
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'm trying to respect Lamar He wants to Just hearing him from across the sidewalk You're like That's not a bad idea Passivism. I mean, I have a hatchet that I use exclusively as a tool. Like, it makes a lot of sense to me.
Starting point is 00:12:59 No, I... That's fine, I'll take my loves. Roger. Uh... The two guys in the front of the Southern line move forward. They are going to take shots at you. The first one would have gotten two hits, so the first one would have gotten two hits. to the five and a six, but your Kevlar suit is going to deflect those with two game introduction.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And the other one, one hit. So they take swings at you with batons and fists, but they are going to bounce off of your Kevlar vest. And it is your turn. Roger makes that universal sign. You know where you rub like a couple of fingers under your nose? And he says to Lyle. while I believe you have a Batman in the belfry you might want to get that
Starting point is 00:13:57 I mean makes the universal sign of two fingers rubbing under the nose again and looks Lexett Lexie the file really know Hey pause real quick Justin Griffin as dad's describing this universal sign Do you guys have any idea what it's a sign for him? No I don't know what he's on about. I'm trying to say, and now I'm filled with-
Starting point is 00:14:19 But rubbing it under, is he smelling something? Is it like herbs? It's like the most insane improv impulse, because it's not just like, it's not a comedy prompt, it's a puzzle, it's like a real. Daddy will say universal sign, and as soon as he uses those words, I know that I'm not going to understand
Starting point is 00:14:37 the thing he's about to say. It's a booger! You got a booger! And if he can't tell, like, he taught us the universe. You know what I mean? Like, no, no, no. If we don't know it, it can't be universal because, like, you taught us. It's universal.
Starting point is 00:14:53 It's universal. Okay. So you want my, you want my axolado man to think he has a booger. Yes. And what do you do when you have a booger? I mean, I get a tissue and I wipe it. Yeah, maybe a tissue, but maybe not a tissue. Maybe a handkerchief or a pocket.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Square. I'm not being difficult. I'm just not, I'm not a smart person. I'm sorry. We have these cool new pocket squares. The red pocket square. How come all of your actions?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Asked him knowingly. How come all your actions are dependent on us doing prop comedy? Because I am a team player. That's not what it being a team player means. It's very much what a team player is. It takes two to complete a pass in the NFL. Someone's got to throw it. Yeah, but you're yelling at the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Throw it to me, throw it to me, throw it to me. You're like mailing the person a letter with where the ball's going to be if they can solve the rebus. I mean, like, I guess I gave you too much credit. Yeah. I don't know. You raised the stupid son. It's kind of your fault, Dad. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I'm sorry. pocket square. No, you don't eat it? Okay. But do you do you eat it with a flourish? I eat it would I could I?
Starting point is 00:16:32 What? Yes, I daringly eat my pocket square. No, okay. Oh. I wave around a red pocket square
Starting point is 00:16:46 that I have in my pocket. Like telepathy. This is communicative. It's so clear that Lyle what Roger is looking for. It was the universal move. Yeah, obviously. Universal move. And so Roger invokes his ab-moved, Tori a new one.
Starting point is 00:17:07 When somebody waves something red, Roger runs straight at the thing with irresistible force. Okay. With his goal to be to attack the guys lined up next to Rock. Okay. So you're going to run. roll 48. And I will tell you
Starting point is 00:17:26 this. If you get two successes or less, you will hit people, but you will also hit Lyle as he is the one waving the red handkerchief. So if you choose to use time
Starting point is 00:17:42 to shine dice, you need three successes or more to not include Lyle in your running into people. then I'm going to use two time to shine dice because obviously I don't want to make this have bad resonance for Lyle
Starting point is 00:18:05 so that he'd never do it again. Yeah, you want it to be a positive experience. I want it to be a positive experience. So roll 68. Three successes. Us. Three successes. A seven, a six, and a six. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:18:21 So there is a cowbunga in there as well. So not only do you spare Lyle. But you are going to take out four of the guys, all four of them that were surrounding Lyle. Including the bug expert? Yeah, that's Lyle. Lio was, oh, the one who was looking at the ash beetle? Yeah, you knock all four of them away. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:45 So, Lio, your pathway have now been. Oh, wait. I have something to say. Oh, good, good. O'LAY! All right. I'm still waiting for Dad to say the thing. gonna say...
Starting point is 00:18:59 Olai! Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Oil of Olai! There it is. I don't know. Okay, so the two that were, they make their way down the path, where you are now lying in your post-Foon position, and they are gonna take swings at you, maybe.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Good luck. Oops. Do you have any armor maybe? I don't. I have extra health. Okay, good. Because that's three hits from one. And two hits from the other.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Ow. Ow. Okay. Jeez. Yikes. Okay. That's half my health. But it is your turn.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Um. I thought we were going to take a round off. Oh, I thought you meant after we went to, like, have it a complete, like, you're half our half, take a break. Just forget the whole thing. This is ridiculous. This is why nobody trusts you guys. I'm going to press a button.
Starting point is 00:20:14 No, man, your reputation is doctor. Oh, man. I'm going to press a button on my controller for the splash pack that turns every nozzle frontwards towards these dudes, and I'm just going to open her up and sort of put my back up against this fountain for, you know, leverage. and just really let them have it. Really, really give it to it. All right. Roll 5D.8.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I'll add one. Really going through my time to shine dice here, but it seems like this is the time to do it. That's going to be three successes. Three successes. Six to seven of five. So these guys are going blasting back. Not quite to the wall,
Starting point is 00:21:00 but it definitely clears you some distance. to maneuver. Okay. And I'm going to get to my feet. Okay. Just so as to not get stomped on
Starting point is 00:21:12 by any more bad boys. Can I get on the radio and be like, Dr. Kildeth, how's that Exville plan going, pal? Yes, it is coming along quite well.
Starting point is 00:21:22 I think it's going to be just a couple more a minute. You hear something like sizzle and pop and he's like, yeah, this is normal. Are you cooking right now?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Are you cooking like an omelet or something? Just some quick back bacon. Will you please? It's grain food. Man, will you please let him cook? I'm dying. I am dying. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Cleft honey, will you watch the back bacon? I need to finish the adjustments on the escape room. Of course, dear. Okay, Lyle, you're up. Hmm. This is my moment. This is the moment that I've waited for. This is the moment.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I'm going to try to push the, so the, uh, I want to push into the guys that have all crowded around me that have no idea that I'm here. Well, bad news. Dang it. I was hoping you've forgotten. Okay. Uh, I want to grab the two guys that are closest to me and knock their heads together as hard as I can with my arms and my fists. Okay, well, you know what that sounds like to me, Justin? Anything's a drum, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Anything's a drum. You're playing these boys like symbols. At this point, the improvised melee weapon is the other person's head hitting their head. Oh my gosh. And the way that that adds to it, it goes back and forth infinitely. Oh, it's like a name's cradle. Like if both of their heads are the improvised weapon, right? And I get a bonus.
Starting point is 00:23:18 That bonus will reciprocate back and forth between those two weapons that are also the things that they are striking. And so that bonus is basically infinite. Wow. That would explode the world. Well, no, it will un-make them. I'll tell you this, you get to roll 3D8. If you roll 3-8s, you will un-make them.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I've won a lot of unlikely rolls for this one. Oh, one success. One success. As you bonged them together, one of them is knocked out. But the other one is just kind of, it hurts his head, but it doesn't knock him unconscious. And he's going to take a swing at you. But he's only going to roll 3D8 because his head hurts. He does get two hits, though.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Wow, must not hurt that bad. He's just mad, mostly. The same two guys at the front line are going to take swings at one more. No No No hits on the more Wow where were those roles on my body on my person That's a great question
Starting point is 00:24:34 Roger you're up I'm going to show okay explain one thing to me The whole Light situation He threw a hatchet man Right At the ceiling Yes
Starting point is 00:24:49 Correct What did that do? They would be hitting with 5D8s And they're hitting with 4D8s because of a circle of darkness. And the ones that have been knocked out of the circle are much slower coming back in because they're having a harder type of scene.
Starting point is 00:25:10 So where is that circle centered around the fountain in the middle? And it goes... One, two, three, four, five back in each direction. So you are currently in shadow and two more of the squares on the grid to the north are also in shadow. Thanks, Roe 20.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Okay. Roger's going to move into the light, move out of the shadow and into the light. Okay. Is that fair enough? Yes. Okay. He's going to move out of the shadow into the light
Starting point is 00:25:46 and is going to do the... Flamingo Flamenco. There's a light source shining on him like a spotlight, or in this case, the light, I guess, the light from the ceiling. He does a stomping, clapping, clapping solo dance on one leg that is impossible for adversaries to ignore. All attention is drawn to the dance. It is irresistible. And he holds all attention for 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Okay. Roll 48, and we're going to see how many agents' attention you grab. Okay, 48. With a cow bunga, everybody in this area is immediately focused on you. That's amazing, man. He must have trained at Juilliard, maybe Mooliard. It's incredible. Look at him go.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Oh. Hey! Oh, I love! And that... This is sonically just such a lot. Lyle, that's going to leave you clear. It's such a lot. To do whatever you'd like to do now.
Starting point is 00:27:02 What's the status of the two guys whose heads are knocked together? Are they dead? Do you get a funeral going for them? I can't remember if they died or... I mean, you could say, I don't know, last right or whatever, but I think you just knocked him unconscious. The other one, his headache, but he was drawn in. by the rhythmic dancing of one Roger Moore. So right now you find yourself...
Starting point is 00:27:22 Remember that? Remember that? Do you remember it? No, I remember that. It was in my mind's eye, so now I can't ever forget it. Now you find yourself unencumbered, unsurrounded, free to move or do whatever you wish. Hmm. I could dance some more. Well, you're never going to not dance again.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Oh, dancing forever. So there's nobody around me, right? Correct. Okay. And is anybody who's in the most active... Oh, I got it. Perfect. I know exactly what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:27:59 There's... All right, I'm going to the safest place I can think of. And I go and I stand near Lamar. Oh, hey, man. Hey, I'm going to stand near you. Okay. Okay. Like, I figure if you love...
Starting point is 00:28:17 protects the stuff so much. Next to the big living shield is like the most killer place for me to be, man. So I just kind of, I just kind of grooved it over here. Okay, just watch out because the shield's kind of unidirectional. You know what I mean? Well, that's fine, because I got something for the guys
Starting point is 00:28:36 that can't reach. And then I'll punch the guy's nearest Lamar. So I'm like back to back with him. I'm the punching side. Okay, great. Because there's a guy that just stepped up to you. Exactly, right? So I'm going, I'm like, Lamar, I'm kind of like little spooning into Lamar to use his protection on my back. That's what every pacifist is looking for really, like a really aggressive buddy.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah, exactly. The yin to his yang. Yeah, exactly, dad. The passive is just waiting for some psychopath to complete them and be all violence. Okay. Like, give me, how are you attacking the guy that just stepped you? Oh, I am. Does Lamar have anything on him that would be funny?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Um, give me a second. I don't have a minute to think, Travis. I reach into Lamar's pocket and I grab the first thing I can. I got to improvise a weapon. I pull out my hand and there in my hand is... It's an incense holder in the shape of... of a ceramic pizza. Smill ya later, bong.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Then I hit him on the head as hard as I can with the instance holder. Okay, great. Give me anything's a drum roll with 3D8. Two successes. Yeah, the ceramic pizza shatters over this guy's head and heat goes down. Oh, you look incensed now.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Oh man, that was good. I hate that you broke my ceramic pizza, but it was worth it for that line, man. Yeah, sorry, that really stinks. And you get a call over the radio. Yes, come in. You four, I guess. It's me, Dr. Kildeth, Gregory.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Hey, Dr. Kildeth. We're just getting fired up over here with the hurting people. Right, Lamar? You've got a lot about this, man, but thanks are getting my back. Well, actually, I had no choice but to get your front. Oh, okay. Because, I mean, you. You were my back.
Starting point is 00:30:50 But then you're my back. Oh, you complete me. Oroboros. All right. Well, it sounds like you guys were doing. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Oro? Yeah, listen.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Everyone, let's get this clean. Oroboros. Hey, listen, shut up. Listen. Oroboros. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah, man. Thanks for hurting people on my behalf.
Starting point is 00:31:11 One side's all violence. One side's all show. You got your peanut butter and my chocolate. Both sides are all vives. Oh yeah, dude Um Oh, okay, well, I was going to tell you that I finished the modifications And you guys should make your way back in here
Starting point is 00:31:28 But if you're having fun broing out, I understand, uh, no rash. I'm dying. Oh, yeah, make your way back into my home. Roger, do you need help getting out of there, man? Because it feels like you're lost in the sauce a little bit And if you stop dancing, you'll be instantly Just disintegrated by the 12 dudes around Yeah, a bit weary.
Starting point is 00:31:55 All right. Can I run over to Roger and try to grab him and, like, jetpack out of there and dunk down into the top of the volcano? That would be a sweet poster move. You sure can. You know. It's not when you pointed out. No, when Michael Jordan goes in for one of his nasty dunks on someone, he's never like, here comes a great poster moment. Take a picture of this.
Starting point is 00:32:21 You don't think he does that. That's exactly what Michael Jordan does. Does. No, does. He's the present. No? D&N does. Right the first time.
Starting point is 00:32:29 He does it every day on the basketball court. We don't even put it on TV anymore. No. He's still out there doing his desk. He's out there. He's only got half a court. He still does it. You run over there.
Starting point is 00:32:41 So I'm going to have you do first the roll with a splashback to take off with him. Okay. And then a roll to see how well the aiming goes. Okay I'm running out of time to shine dice So I'm gonna just do this one Raw That's okay though
Starting point is 00:32:58 Because that's three successes Three successes Wow Yeah you're able to get him And launch into the air Yep And so you guys definitely get clear Of
Starting point is 00:33:07 You know what I'm gonna say on three successes Yeah I stretch Roger out Oh geez Wow Oh wow Now he's lean beef
Starting point is 00:33:18 Beef You are able to make it into the volcano. Amazing. Wow. I figure you got Lamar Axelile. You have, and you're much closer to the door. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:33:33 So you guys make your way in? Yep. Yes. You reach the inside and Lamar is guarding the entrance and he kind of slings his shield down into the ground, creating a bit of a barrier there as you've run inside. You guys had knocked everyone back far enough. that you have some time here to get into the volcano.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And you see Dr. Kildath standing in his patio area near the fountain. And he says, climb in, climb in, climb in. And you see that the fountain has opened up into a set of spiral staircase. Very thunderbirds. When you reach the bottom of the staircase, you're in a missile chamber. and he says, yes, I had this saved in case I wanted to do one last attack on the city. But now. Wait, they accommodated that when they built the building.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I built it. It was my plan. Carb it out of soap? No, this was just going to be kind of like, if City Hall ever got too big for the bridges kind of thing. I was going to call ahead and let them clear out. It was mostly symbolic. a final firewoods.
Starting point is 00:34:48 We don't have time for that. I've modified it. Now it will launch you safely out of the prison. Tell me more about everything
Starting point is 00:35:01 you just said because it will launch us safely out of Is there a landing mechanism on this? I've aimed it for water. Aimed it, aimed it for water.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yes. How, what's your specificity on your aiming there, man? Like how certain are you that we're going to make it to the splash zone.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I am very certain. How certain are you? Like, we will get wet. We may get drenched or where you ask? 92%. Okay. And when you say water, are we talking about like Point Nemo, like the spacecraft cemetery in the middle of the ocean, or is it going to be swimmable to land?
Starting point is 00:35:41 No, no, no. I'm sending you back towards land. Listen, would I lie to you? Boy, somebody wanted to flex the red mental floss this morning. Hey, I know stuff about the ocean. Okay? I'm an ocean guy. That's absolutely fair.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah, thank you. All right. So is there another option maybe? Is there like a high-speed rail? You could go back out there and keep getting hit a bunch. No. Interesting. I mean, fight your way out, I guess, is the other one.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Hey, is, I can never remember this fool's name. It is the River City First Officer whose career in life we've ruined. And I should remember his name because of how much misfortune. Thank you so much. Is Joshua going to be okay? Because I think he's still here and he's got like taken or whatever. Yes, when I spoke to him on the phone, he was definitely taken. But he wouldn't have been taken here.
Starting point is 00:36:40 He would have been taken to River City First HQ. Okay, cool. Hey, do you want to come with? Because, like, we actually could probably use some help getting around your old stomping grounds. Oh, I'd love to, but I do have a bridge game tonight with Calcutator and Shocktopus. But, and he slides you the plans for the HQ, this is everything I know. Or hopefully they haven't changed much in the remodel.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Okay. Any other questions for... I'm fine, man. What are you doing over there, Lyle? I hope you're going to the bathroom. There's not one on the rocket. Uh, yeah. I'm sorry, I'm putting on a copolome patch.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Yeah, important. Wait, hold on. Is there like a, is there like a place where we sit in the rocket? Yes, I took the warhead out. I took the explosives out. So there should be room for you guys to kind of cram in there. Hey, you took the explosives out so you'd have room for something truly dangerous. You?
Starting point is 00:37:45 Us. Oh. Because something truly needed us. I don't know who that was for. Like, are you trying to intimidate some... Okay. Lamar, are you ready to...
Starting point is 00:38:01 Hey man, if Carver's in trouble, man, I gotta be there for him. If Carver's in trouble, you're ready to stand there. And protect him. Cool. And protect him. Awesome. Let's get rocking. Wait.
