The Rescue Attempt | Episode 2 - Actual Play | The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG | Mantic Games

[laughter] Right. Hi guys. So, this is the second video in the series. I think it's going to be uh and this is where I you've seen the character creation. If you haven't seen the video where we create a character, go and check it. I'm sure you can find the link to that video. This is the second one where our characters now are ready to get the action on and storm this building. What could possibly go wrong? Well, we'll rescue them. Awesome. What could go wrong? What exactly [snorts] exactly? What could possibly go wrong with such fine operatives leading uh their first solo section 9 mission standing at the end uh of the road, >> barricaded off in the rather affluent district of Newport city. The four of you are mostly ignored by the police, expected just to get on with what it is you are here to do, which is rescue the hostage uh Leaky uh here at this the Astral Heights Hotel for her sweet 18th birthday. um terrorists have broken in demanding that her father, a lead industrialist in the government, um deport [music] Elliot Lloyd Cook, who has come over from Europe, England, um to do great advances in anti- riot uh equipment sales and um the general population of Newport city is tired of that. Some protesters are starting to gather placards going up. Um, what do you wish to do knowing that the terrorists are at least armed with submachine guns? >> Right. Well, uh, so the car has dropped us here in the street. >> Yep. You have dropped off the car. >> It's no longer there. >> None of us are exceptionally long range support. So, it's probably not exceptionally helpful for any of us to go up the electron cocktails or fashions cuz you took your attack coupling, didn't you? >> I did. So probably want to be quite close with the hacking rather than just kind of sat in the building opposite by yourself. >> Yes. Yes, we can hack people remotely. But basically again a rule that I don't know if you guys were at what point is introduced it fairly late is that you cannot hack over the internet which is the basic level. But if you get within like 10 m and in visual range that's actually easier. You get an upgrade because again you're using Bluetooth. You're going in a stronger signal. Yeah. a lot are and um so being close helps with hacking as well. So yeah, I would like [music] to get close to them behind. Did I say that before? Behind you. [laughter] >> So So the barrier and the public are that way and >> and there's another barrier and the more public over here. >> Cracking. So I'll face the public [music] and be able to go that and uh [laughter and gasps] >> in a classic style obviously. Let let them know we're here like that. Yes, hero's here. We're going to go and rescue her right now. Autographs after and walk off. And we're going straight towards >> facing the public facing arm of the [laughter] anti uh >> Let's go terrorist squad. >> You're just going to walk straight down the middle of the street. >> Straight straight down the middle of the street. Yeah. >> Before we enter, we know from the security. [laughter] >> Well, I'm reckless, you see. That's why I'm going. >> They shot out the cameras. They didn't appear to have any direct hacking access. So, as far as we're aware, they can't see us in the reception as much as we can't see them. However, with tinted windows out the third story, there's a good chance they'll see the giant Nordic uh looking with a hammer walking down the street and the footballer who won't stop smiling at the cameras. So, they're probably aware we're here already. >> So, we should just walk up there, go in through the door, and just go. I feel like rushing is not a good way to keep the walking steadily hostages alive. >> Walking. I mean, there's police here, right? The police agent. We're just extra. >> There's the fire exit there. We can go through that fire exit into that first room. >> So, uh, in terms of the building plan, we know there's a lift at the back. >> Yeah. >> Yes. The initial hollow briefing where they brought up the floor plans for the reception publicly available. The private suites where you know these massive expensive parties happens. There are no publicly available floor plans. Um, you could certainly try and remotely hack the local server to bring up floor plans of the buildings above you, the floors above you. >> We can try that. >> You're on the street. There is street lights, vending machines, all that. Gibbons all over the place. This >> even easier if I'm sure they have a terminal of reception, right? So, because the tourists are on fourth floor, >> it may be worth making entry to the ground floor. Get him out of before we ascend higher up. Okay, >> but we're going to try and hack it before we actually get close to it. >> I feel like it's probably worth just going into the reception. >> Find a terminal. >> Find terminal. Start there. Cameras >> on a physical sense. A little walk like that just to see if there's an alleyway, back entrance, fire ladders, whatever. Just physical. >> I mean, the footballs do a lap. >> Yeah. Yeah. Let's go around. >> Should we all walk around the thing? >> Uh, I'll let them go in front of me and I'll try the fire exit as soon as they're walking off to see if the fire exit opens. Uh yeah, at the back of the line. Uh you give it a quick Jimmy. Uh it is entirely sealed up. Uh do you have anything in demolitions? >> No. >> No. Um >> well, we'll probably open it from the other side. I mean, the reception is >> there's there's a fun double door. >> Don't worry about >> Yeah, it is it is not budging at all. Clearly a break of the fire hazard uh codes. Uh you should report No, you could report it if you want. It is not budging whatsoever. Um, >> I'm sure our friend over here with a breaching hammer can change that if we need to down the line. >> You circumvent the outside of the building. Um, a hot buzz of ozone from the various neon signs glaring in this high this high-end district. [snorts] Um, it's very clean. Um, there's a a little garden out back. Uh, very unusual in Newport City for an actual area, a terranium of of grass, a few trees, no doors whatsoever. Obviously, the lift is not external to the building. It's just how I've drawn the map cuz I'm rubbish at art. Um, uh, as you get around the back, you can see, uh, directly above you, multiple stories up, um, three stories up, there is a what's called a fire shoot for skyscrapers. Rather than having huge amounts of corrugated iron that comes down with the staircase, um it is a modern age, you might have seen them, you can drop refues down them if you're working the top of a skyscraper and it slides down the tube. Um it is a modern age fire escape mechanism once deployed kind of like on an aircraft and the doors open and it inflates out. This thing will jump it'll just jump down and you can step in and you slide out. Uh that is how people would evacuate from the high the higherend stories. Um, you would have a vague understanding. Make me a um probably an awareness role. >> Yep. >> Um, >> uh, tactician is here, which might potentially or >> Yeah, give me tactician as well. >> Okay, so I've got three levels in tactician, which means there's a d8. Oh, that's hopefully. >> Uh, I'll have a four highest. >> Cool. Four. you would know that these things are mechanically deployed. Um, so you either need to be up on that to drop that tube or you're going to need to be a good shot with the baseball >> and maybe you'll be able to hit the, you know, the glass panel, the emergency release and it drop down. >> Um, the other fire escape exactly the same. It is not budging [music] out at all. >> Yeah, >> you're not standing in front of the open doors, I'm assuming. >> No, probably not worth just off to the side slightly. Well, I mean I sorry I assumed there was police. >> No, no, no. The whole street is barricaded off. There is a street. >> All right. >> Street is empty. Cocktail bar, doors open, handbags or Aussium fashions. >> Um, okay. Sorry. >> Is there anyone inside the ground floor at all? >> All right. So then to use your You've got motion. >> I got a motion detector. I'm trying to >> if I [snorts] get any movement from reception. Oo, I don't do many good sound effects. Um, other than snoring >> admin post. >> Uh, cool. Yes, you turn on the motion sensor. Um, >> have you got tech expert? >> I do. >> Cool. So, give me a awareness and tech expert, please. >> Okay. So, our awareness [music] is a normal D6 and tech expert uh eight. Yep. I'll borrow your eight. >> I've got a range for >> the d6 explodes to an eight and the eight explodes into a d10. That's the way I do it. >> So you roll the d8 again. >> So currently still got an eight higher. >> You got an eight. >> Okay. All dice explode in my world. >> Okay. So we got an eight. So it was an eight. >> So the the d6 was the whatever it was like a four. The eight got an eight. We exploded to a d10. It didn't go up to a high. So we keep that eight as our highest number which is a very good success which is um rather helpful for you. It is quite a difficult reading. It's a motion track tracker and they have to be in motion for it to be picking people up. Um also if it is directly behind a barrier it makes life quite difficult [music] to get a signal reading from air molecules vibrating. Um, but you do manage to just very briefly catch a motion as possibly a head comes up as someone peaks out, looks, then ducks back down. There is definitely someone behind the reception bar. >> Very weak signal. Very weak signal. But yeah, I would say he just there's a guy behind the the reception, >> which would provide good cover, making it hard for them to be shot out quickly. It could be a bit early, right? Because the nanite could disable him for it. Probably just enough time for you to run over and hit him with his ledge. But but I don't know whether we want to burn. I only have one file to for this guy. >> Got grenade. >> Yeah, we've got some flash grenades and gas grenades. Um probably got some cover. >> I can try to hack him. And >> I mean what weapon >> awareness tech please? chopper goes overhead. Lights bathe the street briefly. >> They are three. >> Three. [snorts] >> Uh, pretty good on a >> Can [laughter] you I mean, what weapons you took, Anderson? >> What weapons did you take, Anderson? >> I've got an assault rifle and a sword. >> Okay. So, you do have an ability to put down some covering fire as well. Okay. >> Yeah. >> We just spread into the room and then [clears throat] die. The thing is if we attack and the guy has time to >> message upstairs >> people upstairs. So that's why >> try to try to freeze him for a a second and then you take him out. >> I I think once we get in the lift anyway they're going to be alerted get I mean potentially I fire a flashbang then you try a hack attempt but potentially have to use your nanites just normal hack attempt. >> Yeah. So if you flashbang it and then I go in while he's flashbanged so I can see him and try upgrade it >> and if that doesn't work I'll over >> while while he's rushing. I [clears throat] mean the idea of me >> the idea of me hacking is just to stop him from machine gunning him when >> you have tactician squad leader [music] right so that's just not going to if you flashbang him you're going to get no line of sight cuz he's going to be lying down behind the reception. So to do that you will need to hurdle reception >> or you approach as a film star enter and say >> I don't likely still having to give away information to the >> cause I think that's absolutely the best way to do it. >> Damn you for taking that skill. >> Yeah I I think that's absolutely the best way. Just breeze in there. Yeah on the on the coms etc. >> Oh we could play that. Yeah. Why don't we present it like this? You walk in with the idea of and I'm holding the motion detector as a microphone to covering your your back. Stand back. >> Is echoing down the street as various passerbys. More press crews are rocking up. >> Let's do Let's do that. >> You now realize that you failed to spot it earlier. As I mentioned, there were several tele crews here with drone cameras running around. You didn't spot it earlier, but uh just off up above you uh there is a a crawler drone media camera uh ZNN news splashed down the side of it. It has been there for a while. Probably heard whatever you've just been saying. >> Um and it's kind of uh it's got suckers and it's and it's heading towards the door. >> Okay. I And we go in and we do that and just walk straight in and if he sticks his head up, you just shoot him. >> Go. Let's go. >> Okay. So straight in, open the doors, walk straight in like that. >> So I'm behind you with a microphone. >> Yeah, that she says it's the fourth floor. The party's on. Okay. No, I can't get any cons. I can't I'm trying to apologize for my lateness, but we're trying to be able to do it. Fourth floor. Great. >> That's I'm back. >> Yeah. Anderson, stay away at any moment. >> And we head straight to the lift. Straight to the lift. >> Party order as you go through the door. Is Anderson first? >> No. No. and me outside. >> I'm standing back. >> I'm first. >> Okay. The shotgun wielding person who is clearly not here for a party is going in first. [laughter] >> Yes. >> Beautiful. Right. >> Well, I pretend you're filming with a motion. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You choose to surge into action. The ZNN media drone. It immediately gives a zooms in as it breaks in. [laughter] You give it the side eye. >> Side eye. Yeah. >> As you go in, watch [laughter] this. >> Yeah. Beautiful. Please can everybody pick up their reflex dice and roll that cuz this is how initiative works in the game. >> Uh as my dude behind the desk will similarly roll. >> Oh yes it does. >> Remember everything explodes. >> Five. >> Eight explodes. [laughter] >> Oh my word. >> I was born ready. >> Eight. Ready. Eight. You >> cycle around me twice while he's there. Oh gunman. >> We've got an eight. Seven. Six. Five. 4 3 2 five. Cool. No draws. If there was a draw, the person with the biggest dice goes first. If there if you're on the same initiative dice, then you just get to choose who goes first. You won't know at what point the uh the the guy behind the desk goes. Um you go through the door. Are you bursting forward or are you going to hold back your action and wait for everything to basically happen at two? >> Yes. I'll walk in, pretend that I'm framing the camera with a motion detector as if it was a a a phone camera >> and but obviously position myself so that I can keep an eye on that as well. [music] So, just walk here waiting for the start. >> You walk in on eight seven, you go blitzing through the door. Yes. Uh Sakai, >> I'm actually going to hold my uh action until two to potentially use my squad leader ability. >> Excellent. It is at that exact moment uh cuz you're on a D8 and my guy was on a D6 who exploded to a seven. The guy comes up >> and sprays across the door directly at you. >> What? I never thought that would happen. [laughter] >> You were not quiet. >> What armor you guys bought? [laughter] Uh, I have a motion. >> We're going to rattle through some dice at this point and we're going to say that you've been hit twice. Two bullets. [snorts] Uh, I only did DC4 to hit you. You are not moving at a fast pace. You're not particularly difficult cover. Fortunately, you do have good cover from the door. You can dodge one bullet. Yep. >> Very hard to do in this game. I will. There was a number for >> or you can dive for cover losing the rest of your action for [music] this round. What would you like to do? [laughter] >> For cover you see you sees because I move forward with the CAMERA THEN GOES OH JUST pulls backwards badly over balance [laughter] go right. So you need to make a reflex test. >> Yep. >> In an attempt to get out of the way of my seven that hit you and my four that hit you. Well, I certainly don't have any any applicable skills at all. Um, therefore, I'm about a one >> one. Um, so here's the interesting thing about the game mechanics. You do gain the benefit because you've sacrificed your whole action. You gain the benefit of total cover because that's where you end up landing on the floor with your nose slightly skewed and a bit of a blood trickling out your mouth. Total cover gives you plus four to the difficulty being hit, raising that one to a five. So, one bullet goes wide. However, one bullet does take you because I got a seven to hit. >> Yep. >> Through the door or before >> straight through the wall. >> Through the wall. So, it will take you. >> Look at Look at this. He's trying. I need Give me the armor. I don't want to die on my first dice. [laughter] >> TPK first combat. Here comes the bullets. >> All the ghost points. >> Uh, hit me in the >> shoots you directly in the chest for four points of damage. Fortunately for you, that is a reinforced wall that takes three immediately off of that. So, it's a single point of damage to your chest. >> Cramp six. Five. >> Yes. Five. >> Five. >> Uh, I'm going to I don't know. Can I get to the lift? No. I'm going to shoot with the shotgun. >> You get one point of movement. So, you can move from the street zone into the re into the the foyer zone. We'll move in. >> You then have a second action [clears throat] which can either be spent on an additional move or you can go back or would you like to buy a hot dog please >> or ice cream? >> Almost lunch time, isn't it? But no, I'm going to open fire with my shotgun. >> Rock and roll. >> Brilliant. >> Uh, please make your to hit roll. >> Right. What is my to hit roll? What do I need to >> Please pick up your reflexes and whatever your firearm specialization is. D6. >> It's a D6 cuz I have a two in it. So, >> and I have failed to bring up the correct page with the body location roll. I just remember some of them. >> It's also on the character sheet. >> Roll is on the sheet. >> Yeah. >> Ah, beautiful. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Five and a three. >> Five. >> So, a five is a hit. The standard on plus four. Uh, he has >> bit partial. Yeah. Okay. So, that is a hit. Please give me a location to see where you hit. Only his head and right arm and left arm are available to be shot because everything else is behind cover. So if you hit those locations, you're damaging him. If you hit the body or the legs, you're going to have to punch through the faux wood armor uh that he has. So roll me a D8. See where that bullet lands. >> D8 >> four. >> D8. Apologies. D20. >> D20. do apologize. I'm looking at the wrong thing. >> Three. >> Three is the left leg. Unfortunately, you are going to have to punch through the armor provided by the faux wood reception. Give me a damage roll cuz obviously you wrote down the damage of your weapon. >> Of course. Yeah. D10. And I have an armor piercing of two. >> Armor piercing. Of course. [laughter] How convenient. >> The public wanted it. He definitely didn't mean to shoot him through proven >> unconcerned by location. >> Eight wowers [snorts] armor piercing two. So that goes straight through the one armor the faux wood gives. It t goes straight through his single point of armor that he's wearing some kind of like >> uh riot armor shim pads stuff. Nothing major. So he takes a full eight straight to the leg, which takes all three damage levels, meaning it goes immediately injured. It then does another three up to the full six that a leg can take and it is blown off. Uh there is a scream of [laughter] pain. >> Fortunately for the censorship that you're going to go through, no one can see that happen. Um [laughter] >> nice family image. Nice. [gasps] >> Uh, >> and I will now make a shock test because I could just pass straight out. [laughter] >> He's got the And he's got that one. >> Okay. He He's a tough guy. He's obviously been in a few bar fights. He's used to having his leg horribly blown off. [laughter] >> He's a terrorist, man. They go through the stuff that happened in his background montage. It's not worth [laughter] saying. Uh he screams out the top of the land. I'm going to get you for that and just starts to leveling the world with blue uh blue comments. Um two, I'm going to charge in, jump on top of the reception desk, and shoot this guy. Okay, so we're going to shoot him, not go for a sword, cuz you wouldn't be able to get the sword uh at that point. Um to get on top of that barrier uh and to remove his cover bonus, I would like a body and athletics test. >> Uh so muscle muscle >> muscle, sorry, apologies. Muscle muscle and athletics cuz your core movement would put you into the foyer. >> So athletics is a skill which I don't have. >> You just roll your muscle as you just squat jump >> a nine. >> Oh my word. hanging on the ceiling. [laughter] Danish long jump team contestant. >> ZNN new media drone is capturing this as it pokes [laughter] its head. Sucker slowly coming around the corner. >> Can I do a be running up and do a forward flip on top [laughter] just for sheer style? >> You are you are forward flipping for pure style. You're not in the reception, you're in the foyer, but you that does mean uh he does not have the advantage of the cover as you let explode with your shotgun. Please make me your assault rifle. [laughter] >> Oh. Oh my assault rifle. [laughter] >> Not not for public consumption. >> Rate of fire. >> It's very subtle. >> Rate of fire free. >> Yes. Hostage negotiation rescue team section nine. Uh yeah, this this will uh >> we did let in our tech negotiator first and that didn't succeed. >> Please make please make your to hit roll. >> Uh do I get two hit rolls cuz it's a assault rifle? >> Yes, you get two. So it's got it's got a rate of fire too. So it's bam bam. >> So I've got um reflexes and then um firearms special ability. >> Yes. So pick up the two dice. >> So I've got um D6 D8. First shot. That's five. >> That is a hit. And then for the second shot, I've got a six on that one. So, I'm going to explode it. I've got five and a uh he will use he is allowed to take a single dodge action. There is no cover for him to throw himself behind because you have just removed it. Uh he does get a five. So, the first bullet he manages to throw himself out the way as he's allowed to do his one dodge. He's not allowed to dodge the second. So, the second bullet takes him uh firmly in the B20 torso. Firmly in the torso. Uh, please give me your damage. He is wearing a flack vest. And you don't have armor piercing damage. >> I do. You want some? [laughter] >> Bullet. >> I just got an eight on my D8. Oh. Oh [laughter] my word. >> And I got a 10 on my d10. [laughter] >> 12 on my D12. >> Seriously. >> Oh dear. [laughter] >> She's on the camera so be fine. Yeah. >> Yeah. Clearly I do 12 points of damage. >> But [laughter] nobody would believe this is not the AI, right? It's real. Honestly, [laughter] it's a real Okay. I mean, he did have some armor to the chest, but not an amount that is anywhere near comparable to that. The body can take four and then he becomes injured and he goes to eight and he is killed. Oh no, hang on. I do get a survival bleed out test. Whilst he survived his leg bleed out, >> still contain a torso at this [laughter] station. Whilst his leg survived the bleed out, his body does not. That is such an outrageous amount of damage. You are above him shooting down. Uh the bullets fly. You see his cyber connection uh wires that go down into his spine uh just explode and spark out the area. Um the violence happened so fast um it is quite possible he didn't even get off a closedcom communication to the rest of his team. His body hits the ground. [laughter] Uh, that was the worst high five. >> I thought it was a high five. I [laughter] think you turn. >> No, let's just leave the rubbish. >> There's no more. [laughter] >> The room The room goes quiet. Uh, an extractor fan suddenly turns to full power as it attempts to take the uh the horrible smoke from the gunfire out. The firearm does not go off. I like to run, stand up from behind the cover, peek. All good. Run towards this guy and plug into his scap while his brain still has some oxygen before it. >> If you go over the top uh >> not le a gentle a gentle over the reception [laughter] >> down into a rather unpleasant mess of endrails. Fortunately, the barrier is contained [music] up in the skull and it was a body shot severing his spine and you deck in. Um, everything for you happens very fast in the world of cyber. Uh, where ghosts whisper rapidly and it can often become a storm. Please give me your hacking. [music] Um, plus tech experts. Yay. Obviously, he has no ghost to hack as he is dead. So this is a pure data retrieval. >> I'm literally trying to get any any remaining memory from his brain before the brain down before the deteriorates. Just to find a bit more information about what's waiting upstairs really. >> So uh >> he's probably thinking, "Oh my word, where did my chest?" [laughter] >> Actually, he's still I think I really fancy an ice cream. I wonder what's that [laughter] by the door. Oh dear. >> Maybe they're the guys with the ice cream. >> I go a seven. Uh okay. Yeah, cool. Um that goes through the standard barrier uh that these gentlemen have which is of six. Uh it's not like open to you. Not everything is there. But the immediate things that are available is they have uh a closed loop communication for their team just as you have a closed loop communication team. There are total were a total of six on them meaning there are five more people here. Um, and you do have an immediate problem because he does have cyber eyes and he was the lookout. So, you need to immediately start to step into the void as his eyes ey line his eye feed is going to go offline and you need to start looping things otherwise the people upstairs are going to know what's going on real soon. Um, all right. Other than that, he got list of the demands exactly as it was sent out. More information. Send the people back. power to the people. Uh the government needs to give more rights and food to the refugees. Um names for the other five. I don't have an infinite number of names. Uh but >> I know the names of >> Yeah, you know the names. And there are five more people. But your immediate problem is you need to make me a forgery roll uh with hacking please. As you have to in just incredibly fastly fastly what what a weird language is that? very speedily. You need to take a loop of his eyes before the oxygen expires and put it onto some kind of loop which you're then going to have to feed off of your ghost um into this closed communication. >> Okay. >> Which forger allows you to forgery and hacking, please. >> Rank one, >> you've got forgery, I believe that gives you >> Oh, yeah. >> It lets you upgrade tests on relevant roles. >> Yep. Okay. Okay. So this is relevant. So I also being plugged in I forgot when I roll before I do get to upgrade all the dice. >> Oh, you are now plugged in. So this gives you advantageous situations. >> Yeah. So I have quite a lot of upgrades. So normally it would be 2d8 but because I'm plugged in they become deterrollable detents at that >> and then because of forgery thing one of them upgrades to a D12. >> Yep. Wow. Okay. And now you roll two and a roll. [laughter] Double one. >> And before you make that roll, Anderson, you stand on top of the counter. Assault rifle in hand, feeling rather pleased with yourself having finished this situation. >> I don't know about rather pleasing myself. Another day quickly, [laughter] >> doing my job. >> I do this all the time. >> This person is dead. Um, and you can clearly see that Kazu is going to go in and he is going to make this person's ghost exist for a longer period of time as he is reaching into the [music] person's mind. You stand there looking down at the bloodshed, detached from the situation as it's just a job, or do you have compassion for the person that you have just dealt a horrific mortal blow to? Absolutely no compassion. He shot us first. >> Total detachment. >> Plus one level in that. >> You may not show mercy to any of these people as you have declared total. No quarter. >> No mercy. >> A bit of blood blood fuge washes over your eyes. Perhap possibly your Nordic influences. You feel a brief moment of terror down the back of your spine and then you feel safe again. [laughter] >> But he has a bit of a 20 yard stare when you come out of this person's shell. Their ghost rather make your roll. >> I got a nine. >> Nine. Beautiful. Yes. Uh [music] you've got the footage that uh in the situation uh you pull it out of the eyes. You almost hear a scream as you are gonna effectively just taking this part of their mind and you're putting them on loop. It'll fade and he's already dead. So, his brain function is gone. So, does his whisper continue if you do this? Who knows? That is a question for another time. Kazu, um, >> this philosophical argument way over my head. [laughter] >> I'm getting the number of viewers are going down all the time. You you loop it in and as you come out from this philosophical situation, Anderson's just reload. [laughter] >> And I use armorpiercing ammunition. So much more effective in situations like this. >> Still stood outside. Who the [laughter] hell I teamed up with? >> I I I look >> across the ceiling. The ZNN camera drone with suckers is now just heading towards the lift. Um Casey, can you disable that please? >> We we certainly can try. Uh does he have a obvious plug? >> It is it is a media it's a media level drone and a person an operative of your caliber. You just look up to it and it just hangs there. Well, it's all off. It goes limp, but the suckers are still attached. That's a mechanical >> is slightly disappointed. He was ready to shoot it. >> Thank you. [laughter] >> There'll be enough to shoot. I'm considering getting my breachery camera out just to make sure. [laughter] >> Uh the lift is in front of you. Uh you have uh access to reception. There's exactly as you'd expect. There's a guest terminal. There is mag printing facilities. Um [snorts] there's a safe. Who knows what's in the safe. Um all the stuff you'd expect to see behind a reception. The fans go quiet having extracted all of the fumes of your gunm smoke. Um and gentle reassuring music wafts back over the PA system as you are in the Astral Heights, one of the uh top end areas. Then I I guess I'm the terminal for registering guests. The United >> fingers come out. >> Yes, fingers come out. >> There we go. [laughter] There you go. This is this is your uh this is your section of the sandwich, baby. Um the fingers come out. Uh you start to bring it up. There is um you're not related to the media and you live in solitude. You don't know who any of these names are. Uh, it's just an endless trade of weird stuff and titles and things, credit limits, um, champagne that's being ordered, you know, private dancers, movies, all this opulent stuff, uh, personal fashion shows being brought in and from the north end of Newport city. >> It reminds me of this game I was playing. Suddenly, I'm starting to think about this game. It was about managing a hotel and [laughter] I'm not entirely sure. Am I still playing that game? >> Are you in a simulation? And is this a hotel? >> Yes. Is this still part of that? >> Okay. No. >> Okay. So, can you get us a Universal Access card, please? >> Any cameras? >> I don't have any cameras in a corridor on that floor. >> I'm not playing the same game. I am going to ask you how you wish to play into your disassociation at this point as you have suddenly felt you've returned through your own uh flavor text to your childhood where you lost hours nay days of your life to a certain simulation game. Um how detached are you at this moment with your disassociation? Does the blood th the blood threat and the adrenaline mean you're able to snap back to these people or would you like to treat this like a computer game for the next I don't know 10 [music] minutes of table time? >> I think the snapping back to reality at the moment because of the gore is probably >> the gore. Yeah, I think that's fairly fairly there's a brief >> the death moment in his eyesated game >> is easier it's easier to get back. >> There is a brief moment of the game of the of the period where his eyes gray out but he snaps back. But what you do being able to access this is you bring up the floor plan for the next level. >> I'll just keep our characters over here for now as we are not on that. >> Not there. This is the lift. Obviously, it's not a perfect diagram. Perfectly shaped. [music] Um cleaning closets and various things around the area. These three areas are the private rooms. This is, you know, kind of a chef's area where food would be brought in [music] when they order in their banquetss and shrimp creme brulee. That would be a weird dessert. Um, this is the actual suite uh that Aliki has had hide out for her sweet 18th. It has a single door into a chambered area. Pull it to one side, its own private bar. Its main um party area, a nice big glass table, massive savers, huge TV uh with hollow projector, motion sensors on it, you know, the full the full multimedia. You'd be playing tennis. It would have facilities for golf swinging, you know, everything that you would want at a high-end sports party. Its own private kitchen, a bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, and this is kind of the the plush. This is supposed to be a little fireplace um with which has actual logs in it that comes up into the area. [snorts] Um big massive bean cushions and obviously a bed. And again, where there are dotted lines, suddenly ranges are going to become a problem. shotguns in the foyer. I'm not going to be shooting into the snug area. Do not have [music] the range to get across the whole of the room. I think that the thought of actually I should have put the I should have put the bar here and the thing that when I built floor No, [laughter] sorry. No, no, it's real. >> If you could >> So, you've hacked these floor plans. >> Yeah. Yeah. He's brought the floor plans up. You're all behind the reception. It's on the CV screen. So, is there only one lift up? Are there other staircases or access? Especially like cuz assume is there just one lift. Is there like staff lift? >> There is just that one singular lift. Um, >> are there any cameras on that floor outside? >> Make me a awareness roll. >> Are there any cameras? No. So, >> well, today I got a six. >> Six strikes you is very unusual. There was only one eress point. Very weird. Maybe it's just because of the kind of place it is, but something it's designed weirdly. Um, sorry, what was you saying? >> Any cameras in the corridors or similar? We know there's none in a suite, but >> excellent thinking. Um, yes, there are cameras in the chef's area uh for the cooking. Nothing in the cleaning cupboards in this section. And then over there, um, there's kind of like a a laundry mat area that, uh, does also have cameras in it because there is, you know, electrical equipment [music] and heat and cleaning stuff. So, there's there's cameras kind of facing in there, cameras kind of facing in there. >> Please make me a tech expert role and hack and [music] um, awareness cuz I start to combine every skill in the most bizarre way possible. >> Only awareness, no tech expert, similar about to be a five. >> Um, >> good. There is a massive Wi-Fi network here. Um and Hero has mentioned that he was here and he was playing um motion sensor golf games and you suddenly go that means the TV whilst there might be no security camera on the CCTV. >> Perhaps potentially the TV has a camera that could be remotely deck [music] hacked because it you know it's a massive there's a huge gameplay you know the top end arcade [music] game you could possibly imagine simulator the whole lot. So quite possibly there might be one on the TV. >> I >> if you can >> Are we still on the down floor downstairs? >> You are still why I've kept this over there. If you can gain access to that, it would be helpful. I'm not sure how close you need to be. >> Well, I mean, if there is a central server that >> it is, it's in the central server. I haven't drawn the server on the map, but yeah, the whole building is put on Wi-Fi because that is a that is a the Astral Heights's own Wi-Fi TV facility. So that is uh very easy. Um upgrade your dice one level cuz you're already in the network. >> Yeah. So one dice upgrades to D10 once there's a D8 because I'm using still well I'm not plugged into the server directly unless there was the server would be somewhere else. A5. Yeah, it is not particularly difficult. Um the TV is not on but that doesn't stop the the kind of the little camera going just like swings around and focus. Obviously, that's only going to give you a certain arc of vision like this. Yes. Uh you're not going to see through walls or anything like that. Please got to have two uh two red and one blue pawn. Red one two red pawns, one blue pawn. By the way, obviously we're using pawns because the miniatures range has just begun. We only have the major at the moment. The other things are in prototyping. uh for you know royalties and right reasons. Chest piece. >> So the blue pawn uh chuck the blue pawn over there. That is a leaky. She is not visible. >> Yeah. >> Um please can you chuck him in the corner over there up against the wall? >> Yep. >> Um >> so yellow pawns are three of the terrorists that you can see. Um exactly as they were described to you. Uh they're wearing some clearly some padding like maybe hockey pads underneath it which is why they got a little bit armor but they are wearing a flack vest. Um you can't see sorry the guy in the corner over there does have a gas mask. Um you can't see the other gentleman that has a gas mark. They do all have submachine guns exactly as the first gentleman that you that you find you had encountered. The two red pawns are um college friends of Aliki. They're in that 17 to 20 year old range. They're wearing party clothes. They got glitter lining and glue all over their face, hair pulled up. Clearly, the mascara's run. There's tears all over their eyes. And um they do look like they've been knocked about a bit. Um and they're just kind of on the sofa shaking and shivering. Um, the guard by the table uh is doing nefarious things that terrorists do uh with things that you can't mention. He's doing [snorts] um he's probably the biggest person in the room. He's he's not anywhere near your size, Anderson, but he looks musly. Uh he's bigger than the other two, but yeah. Um of the other two gentlemen that you are aware must be here. You cannot see them either. >> There is no sound obviously because this is a motion camera >> and [music] we don't see them in any of the other location of the half cap. >> Nothing in here. Nothing. Yeah, the other cameras in these areas. Um I'll assume you turn the TVs on in the other two corporate suites. There is nobody in any of those in those whatsoever. >> Which strikes you? >> No cameras in the corridors. >> Um no cameras in the corridors, which again continues to strike you. It's unusual, Anderson, that this has weirdly built architecture. Not enough security for high-end multi-millionaire daughters to [music] be at. It's a bit odd. >> Can I have a little bit of a look around the reception area? See if there's any um other um doors into places. Go kicking some open. See if I can find another stairwell up. It's not on the plan. Um yeah, there's a door into the rear of the reception. You kick that open. There's a a manager's office in there. Kettle um poster for Pop-Tarts. um another safe um kind of a a big LED screen with a map of the hotel with lights clearly like fire alarm sort of situation, [music] the fire escape um alarms to see if any of the shoots get triggered. Um you [music] know the kind of building infrastructure that you would expect to have. Um there are no other ways of going up other than that lift >> is there but what time of the day is it? Is it day for light? >> Yeah, it's it's coming up to lunchtime >> and and this is facing the streets >> that is facing that is out. >> So even if we cut the cut the lights they >> it's not dark. >> It wouldn't be dark. So that that option is not there to cut the lights. >> Are you staying? >> Well, so we can assume that a leaky and one guard are probably in the bedroom. That leaves one still remaining. So likely still in the corridor somewhere keeping watch. So, we should be wary when we make egress out of that lift because there'll be someone either there or able to alert from there. So, as soon as we go up that lift, it's all going to kick off. >> Yeah. I don't think that's avoidable at all. And you've got the barricade, football barricade anyway. So, they're going to shoot the lift. We stand behind the barricade. There's no one shooting them. We pile out and just >> I don't I don't see myself dressing up as housekeeping, but would it be an option for [laughter] somebody else? Oh my god, it's mega made. Um [laughter] >> I need to change your sheets [laughter] from >> uh no [laughter] room service. I don't think they expect room service. Room service. [laughter] >> So they they've obviously not been alerted to the gunshots and everything from reception. Nobody's moved around much. Yeah, they're just standing around. Um, clearly due to your really swift actions, you didn't get a chance to get anything off in the closed coms. >> Um, you are still linked into the closed coms. They're just uh What are you doing the drug more drugs for, man? I just like not now's not the time. I don't Yeah. Yeah. These It's not even mine. These girls brought it in. It's their own fault if I'm taking it. Um, uh, >> but we're looking we're listening for another two communications that aren't >> have tactics. Um yeahically um >> taken that you've taken the specialtity skill. So make me um an awareness squad leader role. >> So awareness is D6. Squad leader specialist. So it doesn't contribute dice. Do you mean >> tactician for? >> Yeah. Go for tactician. >> Okay. So I'll be a d8. >> And I'm going to you can up one dice one level due to having squad leader. And this is a squad of people. And you would go I would put people. >> Yep. >> Uh nine. Okay. Um, it is a val you if you were going to put somebody anywhere, it would be in the toilet. Um, [music] it's going to have a a nice solid wall. You're the way the the door opens into the room. It's going to be near impossible for you to be able to shoot somebody in the WC and they're just going to spray you through the door. So, you would save a squad leader and tap things. Someone is going to be there. >> It's a theoretical >> with a nine. You're going to have a guard on your prime hostage. >> Yeah. >> So, you go, "Huh, there might not be anybody covering the lift unless there is another person we don't know about." >> Yeah. Okay. We've heard no one else on their close communication. >> You areid positive with your very good role. Um, Kazu, there are six and you've put one down. >> How thick are these walls? >> That's just about what I was about to ask. >> They are plaster board. So, it's a no from this side of the table. Um, >> okay. >> Let's get in the left run through the wall. >> I know exactly. I know exactly where Hero's mind is going. Yes. You could probably be in another room and punch through. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I I Hero's plan was to put the shotgun muzzle against this wall and pull the trigger and hope >> with I think they're not as straight through that wall in there. >> Does that make sense? Come out the lift, just charge straight through that wall in front of me. [laughter] >> Yeah. Are you up for that? Um, >> just like this, just like this linebacker, we are winning with a home run. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> Let's go. We just come out the lift and charge straight forward. You two can do what you like. [laughter] >> We'll run interference. We'll run interference. >> Exactly. Just as you did the front door. >> We'll go knock here. [laughter] >> It starts to come down. >> I wonder if to go and run interference and create a diversion here while you do. >> Oh, brilliant idea. Great. >> Lot of noise here. noise here. Um, [laughter] >> we might change on that plan. >> Oh. Oh, we're safe. You are. >> May maybe alternate. We go into the neighboring and charge through that wall there. >> No. No. >> Okay. No. All right. >> So, we're coming out the lift with the motion scanner. So, you're going to let us know where people are in that room. I fire a couple of shots at that door. Anyway, >> can can I please ask that we don't shoot the wall that has a hostage behind it >> with [laughter] it? shooting that ball. I'm just going to charge >> you're going to charge. >> Wait, wait, wait. Unless Unless >> Unless [laughter] Unless I let you know where to shoot with the sector. It's like shoot that corner over. >> It's going to be a hard roll and you're not going to know the difference between a leaky and one of the terrorists. >> That's right. >> No, we're not. No, >> it's going to be a hard sort of rolls that I'm built for. >> What's the average air speed of [laughter] swellow Africa? Um, is it slug or scatter? His shotgun. >> Uh, his has to be sl It would have to be >> slug. >> Slug for it to be armor piercing. Have to slug. >> Yeah, he's not firing fet. So, yeah. >> Put one of those through and I can put a flash through the hole. >> Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, great. So, I'm going to shoot the [laughter] wall. >> You just run hard at it. >> So, we don't need to worry about which who is who on the motion scanner because we're not aiming for someone through the wall. We're just looking to make a hole. I can put the grenade through, >> which can also be done by a hammer. I guess we don't have to shoot. >> Hammer takes down the >> I'm I'm ready. >> Remember in that training where we had 3 hours and all we did we had to get into one room and there was only one enemy. Three hours cuz he was in charge. Remember [laughter] this. Yes. Remember this. >> Is Is your plan clear? Because I think once more one side of the table thinks something is happening and the other side of the table >> we have very different plans I think. Yeah, >> after we've done ours, we can go with your fan. >> I am actually >> the lift doors open. >> You get in >> some nice music starts to play. Uh possibly some variant of green sleeves. You're not quite sure. >> You didn't take any grenades. >> I've got flashbangs. >> Okay, you've got flash. Okay. >> I would say as an ex-military uh I'm going to actually um have defer to someone who looks like is in charge unless reckless. >> Okay. I'm looking at you to give orders. >> Okay. I I I reckon I with my persuasive skills that we're going to go with my plan. [laughter] >> Okay. How about this, Fred? So, I do think that idea is dreadful in its current [laughter] situation, but has potentially some merit of an easier way through. If I come over here, >> put down the deployable barricade, we open the door, try and put some gas and flash in here whilst you do this. We still run interference, but we don't literally use our foreheads as our best weapon. [laughter] >> Top three in that's what got me my career. >> Am I right? >> A ponytail [laughter] bun, please. >> For the two of us, >> the two of us go over here. We deploy the barricade there. The intention is not to make ingress. It's just to open that door, start putting smoke, >> noise, >> flash, gas through there. >> Y >> and then survive whilst they actually try and get the hostage from here. And Mr. no mercy over here could then if he really feels the need come through and start making his way through them whilst they're going to these guys clearly not to kill everybody you've given leadership over to him and [laughter] he's saying these things >> what I would say is battle gives us very clear instructions we're here for one person these are >> good but that's the target which we don't want to put a shotgun shell through but we do want to extract >> we structure her I I'll take her down and you guys try to save these two guys because yep >> I'll try to I'll come back and help you >> [music] >> floor two. >> Okay, [laughter] >> this is a slow elevator. >> It's very slow. It's like it's g it's like it's giving you time to plan. >> Okay, so yes, you guys go here. We'll go here. I'll deploy the barricade then as best we can organize slide open. >> Where are they in the room? >> We don't know. >> We don't know yet. >> Scann it. >> We're now in action scene moments because you have decided some people's plan have had immediate and excessive violence. So, I would like everybody to pick up their reflex dice so he can start to get an idea of how uh what order everything is happening. >> I did roll a one, but with alert two, I can reroll it. >> You can do. Yes. >> Five. [laughter] >> Oh, thank God. >> Never have I seen a side of the table so happy that someone else's initiative went wrong. We'll start with 10. Nine. Eight. >> One. Okay. [laughter] Seven. Six. Five. Five. What would you like to do? >> Uh, so at this point, I'm going to make my way towards this door to the best of my ability. >> Cool. That is probably a full action double move. >> That's more than fair. >> So, I don't want to go right in front of the door yet. >> No, you don't want to put your eye up to the little >> No, I'll be putting deployable barricade and all sorts later, but for now, just get there. Stay as quiet as possible. >> How do you get there? Because you can only move diagonally. >> It's too [laughter] I went through this wall and that one. >> Seriously. Okay. >> Chess jokes. [laughter] Uh oh my word. Uh the guy goes off at an incredible pace. Uh being the spry young gentleman that he is. Four. Three. >> Hang on. I was say four. Sorry. Says four. Five. Five. >> Five. On a small dice. >> Can I prepare it? >> You can. Yes, you can. >> Uh, which is if we see that they're not right by the um bed. I am just going to charge. >> Cool. You are getting ready to put up a full head of steam like >> move like [laughter] >> you can only move one square with that. >> It's very slow is the [laughter] >> Sorry to start. Let's Let's stop there. Worries me. Well, I'll whip up the the motion detector and follow double move here. Actually, I'll probably stop here so that I can both feed information one way and the other way and kind of try to scan there with a motion detector. >> Okay, let's give let's go for the awareness and tech expert as you try to make out the readings through a solid wall. So, awareness as it is six and tech expert is a eight. Yep. >> Really need to know this. Really need to know this. >> A seven for a moment. >> It's good to It's good to roll two dice because Yeah. Yeah. One is two race. >> There is a large amount of movement in this area. It's a bit indistinct. Um one, two, more people all in a lump you would say with a seven. Um again, [music] you can't say who is Eli and who is the terrorist. There is definite movement around here. Um this person is no longer there cuz you're off camera feed. Um they're over uh here probably heading into the kitchen to get a nice cup of coffee, who knows? Or some coke. Um, [snorts] nothing over that end is is visible to you. And you knew you knew that the the women were like uh >> uh plastic cuff things. Yes. Cable tied up. So, they ain't moving. Yeah. They're not going to very unlikely to turn up. >> But there is definitely a car happening in the bedroom. >> And that's my prepared action of seeing that there is things there. I'm going to step back from charging through that. So well [laughter] I mean on coms I go people people in there's commotion in in the bedroom one of the guys has moved out so I can't see it anymore the other >> you can still move because you have a held action if you want to move >> I am going to move into the neighboring >> okay it's open >> that's as far as you get on that round uh three uh click kettle turns on [laughter] two one uh everyone start to move up background for top starting on five. >> Okay. Um, >> we're going >> I'm going to uh say all right. No. So, this coming I'll deploy the deployable barricade in front of this door here. >> Uh, they are not quiet. >> No, I I'm aware. I'm trying to gather attention at this angle. >> Okay. So, we're like you're just making the noise cuz you are. >> I'm dropping it. immediately take cover behind it. Um, actually, I'm going to put it down and just kind of go behind this wall as well. >> Cool. >> Try to have as many >> It's a It's a large rucks sack briefc like thing. You click and the metal plates come out sideways. Um, and it kind of little struts come out so it doesn't fall over. Um, uh, though, you know, if somebody rushes it, it'll get knocked over. It's not designed for that. You have to be behind it holding it up. But a large metal barricade goes down. Noisily. >> Noisily. >> I'm going to charge straight into the side. >> You're going to open the door? >> Yeah. >> Cool. Did you pick up the maglock keys that were all on reception that I highlighted twice? >> I asked Kazu to make a universal one, but I think I'm the only one who has it. [laughter] >> Would you like to spend a ghost whisper point to go back and subtly rewrite the narrative to say, "Yes, I did. >> We picked up those." >> You can use ghost whispers just to go my intuition. Now you look down, you go, "Oh, it is in my pocket." >> Glad glad my gut instinct happens. Sh. Uh the cloned master key [laughter] >> opens the door. Uh and you are going to take a running go at this uh area here. >> Yeah. >> Okay, that is not a problem. Um >> fish is that wall's brick [laughter] fireplace. >> Find that power plated bulletproof wall. [laughter] Um well, okay. So, uh, you're going to go full bull charge. So, that is definitely muscle. Um, you have huge. So, despite that being a disadvantage, I'm going to give you plus one step on your muscle cuz you're huge. And plaster board is not designed to hold back half Nordic rampant [laughter] lunatics. >> Is this a hammer? >> Um, you do have a breaching hammer. So, I'm going to go up another step. >> So, does that tell me he's up to a d20? >> Yes. as you go full army. >> Do you have any skills? Because I'm wary that one dice is always liable for >> I got demolition. >> You do have demolitions. >> I am demolishing the same. [laughter] >> I mean, yeah, demolitions is about knowing the weak structural points of a wall. You look at it and go just going to go 6 in to the left so I don't hit the inevitable metal joist that would be behind [laughter] that. So, pick up your demo dice. [clears throat] I do also have tough. That's normally uh going to be armor. >> Um that I've gone as well as I I have an armored two. [laughter] >> Tough is more not knocking yourself unconscious if this goes wrong. >> I'm just drawing attention to this in case I get myself in case you have messed up with a double one in a demolition. You do run straight into metal gerder because there will be some in that wall. U [laughter] bof bof. Dud, please take your roll. Uh, as you go through the wall >> pen. Yeah, >> it it's a stud plaster board wall. You are wielding a massive breaching hammer. You come through in an explosion of white foaming dust. Oh yeah. a huge HAMMER IN ONE HAND WITH this with this [laughter] with this detached look on your face cuz you're still it's all just going a bit ah >> um you all hear that? >> We're all conflict. They see me do it. [laughter] >> Breach bridge >> four. >> Okay. Right. What's up, brother? >> I assume these are confirmed as now. >> Oh, we should we should stand them up. >> Uh they are struggling. >> He has her up to the wall. His arm is back. Uh because she is giving him some grief and he is about to give her what four. [snorts] >> Um it's a good job he didn't go through that wall. Four. [laughter] So yeah, you don't know which is which, but it's up against that wall. >> But I can see them through his eyes. >> Uh uh do you have cyber eyes? No. He downgraded all of his cyber head. >> Normalized. Okay. >> Right. Um, so through this camera here, can I still I can still see this guy, right? >> Uh, yes. That chap uh is currently putting down a bottle of some expensive vodka as his head is [laughter] turning to the left and he's bringing up his sub gun. >> Okay. So, what uh I can move say one step up to there or just already into this room? >> You can get into this. That's a move cuz you're transitioning. I haven't put dotted lines. This is just all deemed one area. >> Moving to this room. So I cannot see here yet. >> I guess there's a big hole. >> This is like a curtainole. >> So So because I can't see yet. I ah interesting. >> Ah. >> Yeah. All right. I'll attempt to while because there's very strong wireless signal in this place. >> There is a lot of Wi-Fi here. >> Well, let's try to to hack this guy uh remotely. So not not in direct line of sight. >> No direct line of sight. Just the normal >> a standard hack roll please. >> Yeah. >> Tech expert and haying. >> Yes. The eight and the eight. >> Yeah. Strong Wi-Fi. So no penalties for being >> This is important. I'll spend the ghost >> or two cuz two is reroll as well. >> Two. Two is one is a roll. It allows you to upgrade the dice before the reroll. >> To roll dice and upgrade the dice before rroll. Okay. Yes. True. Yeah. This is this is this is very important. >> Would you use a ghost whisper ahead of rolling? >> Well, before rolling, >> you can use a ghost whisper to up the dice before >> because I'm upgrading the dice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm upgrading a d10 to a D8 to a d10. >> Yeah. And can reroll >> and can reroll and can reroll. Right. Two go space is very important. So, I really focus onto this guy and go >> double seven. Uh, so here's Can I roll? I suppose I could reroll that seven. >> Hold the 10. Yeah, roll the d. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Seven. Seven. Uh, yeah. So, that is enough to pierce his barrier, which is a basic six. You know, the off the shelf cyber wetwware that people have. Um, one. Uh, so you've succeeded by a degree of one. So, you're not going to be able to remote control his brain. you are going to be able to kind of jutdder and stimmy him causing uh you know things to lock up a little bit. >> Yes. Or also make him maybe hear more noise from his you can cause distractions with his ears, that kind of stuff. Uh if he's got an inbuilt gun, you might stop it reloading or jam. You know, you got that periphery things. He's definitely not jumping out the window and dying. >> No, no, no. >> Uh that was four. Three. Okay. Um D. Please stand up the yellow porn in the toilet. Um yeah, cool. There is a strange worring noise and then as a heavy implaced machine gun that you would recognize from your military years, you would go, I know that noise. Now is the time to be in a foxhole. Um, a beltfed heavy implaced machine gun. Um, levels straight. Fortunately, you didn't even decide to stand to be there. Otherwise, >> that's a good idea. That would [laughter] be a real issue. >> You you have you have you have a door and two walls, which is enough progressive armor that I'm not going to roll it. And you've got your own barricade. Um but had you been behind that barricade, you would probably still be at this point in a lot of trouble. Um and it just as it just moss through a hole. Um technically got line of sight into the toilet now. Uh is this slit as this is a this is some serious guns. That is that toilet gentleman's action. >> Wow. >> Um, kitchen chap is gonna come to here. He's he's going to secure all all the drugs. Uh, okay. Um, I don't particularly want to run into all of that. And the vance is happen. So he is going to take a shot uh on you, but you do have concealment through the kind of the you know the kind of hanging bead drapes. Uh so you rather than a four to hit you, I'm going to need a C6 to hit you cuz you've got that kind of you're obscured. >> Uh he No, it's not fast. Yes, if he [laughter] if he was if he was a if he was a full run that would be even harder to hit, but no, he's more like through the warm go a and stopped. Um, right. I'll deal with So, he's I'll deal I'll deal with him on you. So, we are making a tashooty roll. Uh, no. With your increased cover, I only get a five to hit you. You are now now needs to be a six. >> I was taking the shot anyway. >> I'll take I'll [laughter] take on >> over the second shot, however, does hit you dead on with a six. Do you want to use your dodge? No. No. You you just take the pull it straight to the chest [laughter] or wherever it hits you. Uh what 14 is torso. You take three damage straight to the torso. >> I've got uh armored suit on and extra armor for my toughness. So I'm just down on armor, I think. >> Down on the armor doesn't go down. >> Yeah, you take it away from >> Yeah. Yeah. Just >> tough. Tough tough is tough as armor. Tough is additional hit points. Uh uh is it? >> Yeah. Read that. Read rules. Read rules. Read rules. >> Add one armor. Add one armor. So is it plus one armor? I thought it was torso on rank one. One armor to each of your arms and leg. >> I thought it was extra hit points. Okay. Okay. Maybe it was at some point when you got an extra armor point. >> Okay. The bullet hits you and you know you got a little bit catches in the abs. A dermal plating kicks in and it just kind of it'll fall out later. So, it's it's >> I've got I've got three points of armor damage. Three points. It's your military service. Clearly, you got some dermal uh plating in there. >> How much am you? I've got an armor suit and I've got toughness. Two plus toughness. That takes that takes the bullet. >> Just enough. >> Yes. >> Uh you are indeed tough. >> There was a reason why I didn't dodge. [laughter] >> The absence too. [laughter] Um this chap um backhands a leaker. Um >> we don't. >> No, what he is going to do uh is he draws a taser and he jams it straight into her throat. >> He will attempt to dodge. >> Nice. >> Very nice. >> Okay. Uh she manages to just get out of the way. Um but he has still grappled her. He is trying to taser her out. You can clearly see that he's trying to wrap her in front of his body to use her as a shield and he's trying to tase her out, but she's kicking and bucking. She's quite a feisty 18-year-old. Probably had some antih some hostage training cuz her dad is an industrialist. Um, she knows what she's doing on, but he's clearly trying to use her as a human shield. Um, Duh. This chap over here can see nothing, so he doesn't do anything. Uh our gentleman here um is not happy about being decked. So he is going to try and oppose that rock. He is going to try and kick you out of his booted system. >> If he affects me, then I can count. >> Yeah. Yeah. If if I mangle up and miss it by more than four, he can come straight back in. Um no, I get a four. I get a three. So that's not enough. Um he's Yeah. activating firewalls, going through the reboot reboot procedures to try and exit. He drops off of their closed communications at that point because he's going through the reboot process. But that is his he got into the shell when he's tried to attack me. He fails and a big big face of a pig in the Shirro Shirro style appears. [laughter] But with his movement, he is going to come in and take cover here, please. uh as he does not want to get shot by whatever is coming through. Um and actually that chap in the corner is going to come into the corner of the bar there. They're all going to try and you know block angles, get themselves cover of what's going on. 2-1. >> Uh should we just come in? Can I come in through the room and then just shoot him in [music] the head? >> Uh that is a double movement. That is your entire turn to get into that room. >> Okay, what I'll do then. can't do anything else. >> Yes, you are using a shotgun with armor piercing and she is a human shield. That will be a cold shot >> taking a the need for a four to hit to become an eight to hit. >> Cool. Unless I've got a laser sight to reduce it by two. >> Uh so that you'll be down to six. >> Yeah, that's fantast. >> Yeah. [laughter] What what is the penalty for a cold shot? >> Plus four. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, I see. >> And las is a laser sight one or two. >> Plus two laser sight reduce it and plus four. >> Yeah, there you go. >> A new laser sight's good for something. And you have got a slug. You're not using >> pellet. So laser sight is Yeah, I'm using a laser sight with a with a broad choke. >> I thought so in advance about all this. >> You're [clears throat] already there. Um, that's the end of the round. Back up to five. [laughter] >> Wow. >> It's hammer time. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Okay. You're not even pulling the sword out. You're just staying the breaching hammer. Of course. Yeah. We've got it. My husband [laughter] ready to go. >> Why Why would you do anything different? [clears throat] >> Yes. You advance on the the the industrious's daughter screaming with a taser to her face [laughter] with a gleam in your eyes. >> 18 with a two-handed 18B L [laughter] >> and swing hoping to use his nail as a head and not smash your thumb, which would be her head. It's [laughter] it's breaching, baby. >> Okay, so I've got muscle. >> So, you will need to use your move to go from range zero, which where you can use firearms to range close combat where you're allowed to use melee. >> Oh, yep. >> Uh, I'm going to Yeah, you're not you're not actually standing on the bed cuz that would be beyond neuronic. [laughter] Uh, >> I'm leaping over it. >> Bounce bounce. [laughter] >> Extra momentum >> and you are taking a swing. Uh so that is muscle uh and your melee skill mele expert please >> and then I can upgrade one >> one one dice goes up due to the squad tactics as you are invigorated as your your co uh [laughter] >> I can't watch this double one >> this is a double one that's our head exploding thanks god for ghost [laughter] okay here we Okay, let's go. Let's see what I get. >> That's 10. >> 10 is good. What? >> 10 is good. Yeah. >> Is that a 10 on the D12? >> That was a turn on D12. Yes. It doesn't quite >> How many explosions you lot again? This is outrageous. Uh that Yes. Okay. Um I can't parry because my damage step is too low. It's too small of a weapon. I'm not allowed to parry such a large weapon with such a small weapon. Well, yeah. It's it's you know it's the same if you ever had a taser it's effect you can use it the knuckle dust >> funny enough I've never I've never had >> is that is that just me where I've had to do [laughter] >> zombie survival courses um >> so I can't make a parry I'm going to make a dodge but I'm going to downgrade my dice one level cuz I'm trying to dodge with a woman um >> uh so that's my reflexes I go down to that >> he needs to dodge a 10 I could explode. You've had enough explosions. Where's [laughter] my explosions? >> Like that's not enough. That is a five. He takes the hammer directly to his better not get his body cuz that's the girl. >> Well, torso. >> Yeah. >> Torso. >> You've got a problem with his torso as a connection. There's a woman in the way. [laughter] Um, >> um, >> you can hit him through her and she's going to take some damage as well. Um, or you could go swear and reroll it. >> You could go whisper roll, but you are detached. He did make that decision. So, do you really care about her? Wait. Ah, >> bang. Yeah, >> I should have gone for a cold shot on the hit. >> Yes. Although no that went cuz I only blood plus five so I couldn't >> uh no 10 to hit would have hit the head. >> 10 would have hit >> cuz your target would have been eight. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But isn't there um called shot then plus or minus five? >> Four. >> Plus four. You need a target number eight to hit him in the location of your choice. Even even if he went in his part Yeah. >> Oh, or or using a ghost whisper to say that you were going for the head retroactive >> or two or perhaps all of your remaining ghost whispers depending on >> this guy [laughter] just wants to drain all your ghost whispers. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I I want you to dispassionately in a totally detachment world just go, "Yeah, we'll just meditate. Just go through her." [laughter] But no, it's your choice. Uh, I'm not going I'm not going to cause a second uh synthesis conflict in >> I am going to invoke some compassion for uh her. >> Oh, you're invoking you're forcibly invoking [singing] compassion in which case I love it. Increase your compassion one level. >> Yeah. >> What is your current compassion dice? >> Uh, it's up to a d6 now. >> Roll me a d6 and I'll allow you to modify your 12 by that number. >> Two. [laughter] >> That is enough to take a 12 to a 10. Turn up. Yeah, >> which is just enough. His right arm with a taser to a throat. >> Bang. >> Please give me damage. >> And this is a great example of not sticking to the rules but creating something so cool by not sticking [laughter] to the rules. Just making it >> I'm putting this your story, man. I'm putting the rules together, lovely, lovely, lovely. >> And I do four points of damage. >> Uh, okay. He he only has effectively like a a hockey pad for a single point of damage. So that is three. So that takes all of his arm, right arm damage is gone. One, two, three. Uh, he is not at injured though. You need to do one more point of damage to get him to that. But his arm is looking horrible. Mangled. The shirt's been ripped open. >> And it's got the taser away from her. >> Uh, yeah, absolutely. It's Bang. It's kind of been slammed into the wall. Um, >> yeah, that's cool. He's looking Yeah, he's he's not happy. >> [laughter] >> It's gone numb. Uh, five, four. Oh, no. Apologies. Then it's your go again. >> Right. I'm going to try and do the same thing [laughter] >> with a cold shot or just a wild swing. >> With a cold shot. >> With a cold shot. Okay. >> Yeah, >> go for it. You're already in close combat. You don't need to move. Make uh your muscle and melee expert role. You need a target number of eight to hit him at whatever location you want it to be other than his chest cuz his chest is head. You can go for head or his arm. You're going for head. He's just going for head. He wants the big effect. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Muscle and your malle needing an eight to make the cold targeting. >> Now, so I'm looking at my ghost whispers. What can I do? >> So you could spend one to upgrade a dice. You can two to upgrade a dice before the roll, one to reroll after you have done the roll. And if you do that, you can roll both dice. >> Upgrade one and reroll, which is what I did. >> Yeah. Two is to upgrade and a roll. >> So upgrade one >> and I can reoll >> and you can reroll. Yes, this is two ghost whisper points. >> Pull on every reserve of your D12 now and a D8. >> Yes. >> And your military training comes to the four. You fuse out [laughter] as you just you just you all of a sudden your ears are filled with your your drill sergeant and you just let your mind go back to the days of the army as these ghost whispers of of your training just take over mentally and you commit to the act. >> Go for it. >> And what we looking for? >> You need an eight. Well, >> 12 again. >> Las Vegas would like to check your dice. >> He just rolled a one. >> He rolled a one on the on the >> Oh god. [laughter] Always good enough. The roll is always good enough. >> It's just me. >> It's just him. I can't I I can't roll that. Okay, so you have connected directly with his head if you wanted the head. Give me the damage. Um, wait. three uh head his head uh exactly has one point of armor uh from the like the helm. Um it's only his body that's got more. So that takes one off. He has now taken two points of damage to his head. One more and he becomes injured which means we start to make unconscious tests. So he is a bit of a mess. He is uh not punch drunk. He's hammer drunk. >> That was your actual five four. Okay. So at this point I can reach through the gap reach the the entrance. So the question is this guy is already compromised because I I I got in. So I would upgrade if I keep hacking him. Let's do that. >> Yeah. If you continue, you can take your one further. So make another hacking and tech expert role. You're already one degree in according to my note. >> Um >> so hacking is a D8 and uh tech is the D8, but one gets upgraded to a D10 because I'm already in, right? >> Yep. So I got an exploding eight. >> Okay. Yeah, cool. You you guys just keep exploding. >> Yeah, >> just just [laughter] just an eight. >> I haven't yet. Don't worry. Uh >> right, is barrier six. Eight adds two. So that takes your hacking penetration from one to three. So you can continue to distract him. Uh over overwhelm his stuff, sty him. >> Um if you can get to four, I think you're allowed to totally lock him up. Yeah, I I just uh three allows him to to freeze him for a round. >> You lock him. Okay. So, yeah. So, you start to lock him up. That was on four. >> Three. >> Um. Yeah. This guy steps in >> [snorts] >> uh levels his submachine gun into the area. >> I'm always squishy. [laughter] Punk. punk. An explo grenade goes off as he just drops it through the bead curtain. A flashbang goes off. I would like everybody to make me a muscle and res resilient roll. Um, difficulty six or lose their next action on being stunned. >> I assume excluding myself. >> Oh yeah. Apart from you, Yao is over there. [snorts] >> Yep. You say muscle test. >> It is muscle and resiliency test. >> There's no chance of dodging it. >> No. Aliki [laughter] uh you say no apologies. You can dodge by jump by falling back out of the hole, but it is a full dodge action and you will not act this round. >> I already rolled. >> I don't need to actually thing. >> Cool. I'm going to roll my dice. >> I'm huge. I'm I'm all right. Says the naughty. >> I've already got the red mist in front of my face. I'm swinging my hammer at this guy. >> A huge flash of light and a bang is not distracting me from my mission of hammering this person. [laughter] The four has exploded on the T. What is this? >> This is the chance. This is the opportunity. >> Five. >> It's not quite good enough. The flashbang goes off. You are stunned out for your next action. >> What? >> You [laughter] uh you you are, you know, you're in someone's ghost. You're over there. You are disconnected from your body. This just overloads uh your senses. >> Won't work. You know, your mom turns the lights on. I'm going to give him advantage on his uh shutdown roll because you are like no longer being able to actively manage the situation. [laughter] Uh I get uh an eight. Does it explode? No, it doesn't. So I downgrade your three back down to a one as he starts to get his firewalls back in place. Um he is going to physically now that he is winning the the he's going to physically move up to this position here. Um and we're going to shoot the queen. No move. No, it's moving in the same area. So it's repositioning. Okay. >> Yeah. Also that guy is impaired. >> Yeah, he is he is impaired down by one. So that is going to take that down to >> Okay. No bullets shoot wild. His sub one, two, three, and a four. Three and three. [snorts] Um, he's also shooting through this, which has given your your target numbers up to six at this point. >> Um, but there are flashbangs going off bun button buns. >> It was a failure doesn't mean he hits his own guide. >> If it was No, if it was a double one, it would have been. >> Yeah, >> but it was a one and a two and a three and the other was a three and a two cuz apparently I can't roll for toffee. Um, man behind the bar. Uh, yeah. Comm's traffic's going off. They know that this is the violent side. He is going to move into where the women are. Uh, am I going to double move? I'm definitely not going to be able to make a grenade throw at that range cuz I've got two bead covers to get through. That's just not going to happen. Um, yeah, he's going to double move all the way in uh [music] into this room here. Oh my god. Uh, there you're all stunned up with the flashbang. They're just like they're like, "Go, go, go, get them. They've been stunned." Um, this chap, you got squad leader, you got tactics. He's waiting for you to put your head around the corner and then he's just going to press the button and it's just going to unwind. Um, one thing you do know you're not military, so you wouldn't know. You got tact. No, it's not so much a tactic. It's more a knowledge of you don't have demolitions or anything like that. And you've got >> I've got demo free. >> Yeah. Do you have You don't have firearm expert in >> I have rifle and shotgun. >> Yeah. Yeah. So these things So yeah, you would know that this thing has a limited degree of arc. So you could crawl under it because it's it's set up. It's got a very narrow angle. Yeah, exactly. So, it's got a very narrow angle. Um, so you're trained in the right skill. So, you could you reckon you could crawl up under it, but when you put your head up to take a shot? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The front door is an entrenched position. That is them on three. He will hold his actions to brutalize anybody that comes through the front door. Two. Stunned out. One, new round. Five. >> Yep. So, with my grenade launcher, would I be able to shoot into here? >> Um, there's uh a gap. Um, I might up the difficulty from a need to make [music] a four to a five because it is a small thin gap in a door that you're trying to shoot the grenade through. But yes, you could definitely do that. >> I think I'll give that a go. I'm going to try and put a gas grenade in with him. Uh, so I'm rolling uh D8 for my reflexes and a D8 for demo expert free which made a launch use. >> Beautiful. >> Uh, I'll go for a five. >> Yes, the five is enough. Punk punk punk punk. Um, it lands in that area. Uh, the W to the toilet door is totally open because the tripod set up in it to shoot. Uh, how much damage is that? >> So, uh, gas isn't >> Oh, sorry. That gas. Apologies. Yeah, he's got nowhere to dodge cuz he can't physically get out of the room. It just fills with gas. So visual, is it a smoke one or is it a >> It's so choke gas or whatever type of gas it is. It's non-toxic. Uh so at the start of that uh enemy's turn, they will roll a muscle resilience test against difficulty four each round. Increase the difficulty by one. If they fail, they take one damage to the head, ignoring all lama. Damage is non-lethal unless stated otherwise. >> Yep. Cool. And he Okay, that's cool. >> At the start of each of his turns, he'll start hopefully start passing out. I mean, I can make my way through. Um, and otherwise, I'm just going to stand behind the wall. Uh, our non-stand friend. >> So, I'm not sure whether to kind of go for my detachment thing and still keep attacking guy on my compassion to grab the host. >> You don't need to keep playing into the synthesis. We've had We've had the fun with that. You don't need to go on every attack. I don't remove >> whether I'm playing with it or not. >> You went back into compassion mode, didn't you, trying to help her. So, I think >> it would make more sense if you stuck with that. >> And the mission is to take her arm. So, I'm going to attempt to just grab the hostage. >> Okay. >> Run out the room. >> You are going to need to rip her out of his one arm cuz the other one's [laughter] quite numb. Um, it is not an injury, I'm afraid. Uh, so do you have unarmed? >> I uh I am >> No. >> So, this is am I I'm a martial art. >> Uh Martial artist means you do real damage and you increase your dice, but the martial artist doesn't give you. >> Am I making that right in my head? Let me >> checking. >> So, just check when he went to two pips on the location. Is that where it counts as injured? [music] >> No. When you take the first cross. So, his head has lost all hit points. His arm has lost all hit points. Any additional point of damage to either location, he gains a cross and it becomes injured. And then if he everything becomes across the limb is destroyed. >> Um, martial artist is the specialtity skill, isn't it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So that damage is upgraded. >> Your damage dice is upgraded. It doesn't actually give you >> an offensive dice. So it is a flat muscle test. >> Oh, wait. But what rank are you? >> Uh, two. Oh, sure. Sure. Two. Because it says uh uh when attacking unarmed Sorry. When you successfully attack an opponent while unarmed, you can choose to deal no damage and instead disarm them or knock them to the ground. >> Okay. So, if you hit, you will immediately break the grapple [music] as you, you know, you go in and flip his arm into a a lock position. >> Yeah. >> So, you just need to hit him >> with your muscle dice needing a target of four. There is no need for a cold shot. [laughter] just staying on the same [laughter] >> we don't fail. >> Um I I'm just going to make a dodge roll. Needing four. I get a three. [laughter] See? Look, it's a three. >> Yeah. Okay. You just dive in. She gives him a bit of a back headbutt. Uh obviously his right hand's not in his left. You just grab the wrist. You fold it back and because you can disarm with martial artist 2 and take weapons off effectively, you disarm him of her. Uh, you're in a beautiful brawling situation. Um, basic punch damage is D4. >> I think it's one. No, he's got martial artist, so it goes to D4. That's why it's in my head. So, give me D4 damage, please. >> Um, >> it was to his left arm cuz it's it was, >> you know, just thematically that's how it goes. So, uh, okay. We're just trying to damage everything, uh, on this gentleman. [laughter] >> Uh, please do get her. >> Pardon? >> Yeah, >> she she is she is freed of the grapple. >> Well, you still have her movement. >> Yeah, but he is involved in a grapple if he lets go. [laughter] >> You can get you can get her out and then you can also get out of the way of those bullets, which you >> uh I'm a bit I'm blind. >> Oh, yeah. [laughter] Bevel stunned. >> You're stunned. >> I'm stunned. Okay. >> Three. >> Can I slowly back off by being I'm blind. I'm blind. >> Uh you can fall back down. You can you can stumble out. >> Just a little bit. Just a little bit. >> Uh >> I'm blind. I'm blind. >> Okay. Three. >> We can now rapidly go through this. [music] Yeah. He's the worst decker in the world. He remains on one uh locked up by the TV. can't do anything. He has used his flashbang grenade. Um, he's not going to spray with an SMG. Pawn one pulls a vicious looking combat knife and advances directly into close combat with you. There. Um, oh no, he's not the musly one. The musly ones, the ones you've stun locked. [laughter] That's not fair. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I should have used the bishop actually. He was He is the much bigger guy. Um, you have [music] I get an explosion at last. At last, the dramatic tension [laughter] falls to my side of the It's still just a six. You have been stabbed, sir. Uh, you get a free dodge, which is your reflexes. And as it is a meal, you need to get six. No. So you take it to the nine, which is your right arm. You take three points of damage armor. >> Have [laughter] you got two points of armor on? >> He's got two points everywhere. >> Have you got toughness one or two? >> I've got toughness gives me one. And then my armor level got >> He's got He's got three on all toughness is three. >> Three. Oh yeah. So you've got Yeah. one all over. Yeah. That's good. >> [laughter] >> He just, you know, that kind of classic film moment. He stabs it in, twists, and looks at you with this face of glee cuz he's got you. And then he pulls it out and it's just fabric and he's like [laughter] >> just looks at you. Little trembled lip starts to happen. >> I don't even notice it. >> No. [laughter] You're not even going to gratify him with a response. >> You're not even going to gratify [laughter] him with a response. >> That's where you're quietly talking. Okay, come on. Yeah, I know they're stabbing me, but come on. Everything's fine. [laughter] Come on. Nothing to see here. >> Let's get out of here. I'll give you another chance. >> Other chap has a flashbang, but he's got two mates in there now. Uh, so he's not going to do that. Do you know what? In the world's most unfriendly moment, >> he's going to flash his mates. >> He steps in there and he throws a flashbang into him. >> A [laughter] Never mind. Never mind. Not yet. >> Yep. >> [laughter] >> Secondary flashbang. That was a great move to move into other room. Yeah. Please make me flashbang. Is it I think it's DC6. >> Yeah, DC6. Muscle >> six. >> Yeah. Difficulty six. >> Oh, right. It might be four. [laughter] >> Continues to wor and blind. Your eyes overloaded, your ears trickling ever so slightly. Um it's it's it's ah um if only I'd been to more training sessions [laughter] with BTO and actually shown up to how to deal with these things. >> Curse curse my solitude. [laughter] >> People are not just need to avoid people. >> This is exactly why you need to avoid [laughter] people. >> You are unlocked, sir. >> Fantastic. You're no longer a shotgun and somebody standing in front of me. >> Um yeah, he is. He is right there. >> Yeah. Uh, let's shoot him. >> Yeah. >> The gentleman that just flashbanged Ku. Yes. >> Yeah. >> Cool. >> Yeah. >> Oh, is that your name? [laughter] >> Four and two. >> Uh, four is a hit. I do not want to be shot by a armor piercing. Well, I don't know. It's a It's a shotgun. He dives back out of the room. >> No. Did you downgrade your reflexes and awareness from the flashbang going off? Is it for >> D4? Yes, a good point. It is. >> So, this round would be no matter what you roll on the D4 cuz it's first round. >> No, first round was last round. He was totally out. I only rolled one. >> Oh, never mind. >> Uh, first round was last round. You have hit. I dive out the way back into the other room, raising my hit number from four to six as I get cover from uh the bean bags and stuff. He does, however, lose his next [music] round. >> That's important. Good. Yeah. >> Um, >> so he's >> Yeah, he's kind of >> Yeah, he's he's there behind the the chair, all the metal fireplace, the furniture sort of stuff. He's just totally gone. [music] Um, >> do I get a second action? >> No, you get a move action. >> Yeah, I'm going to move into that room. [laughter] >> There's a there's a bishop there as well. You're just going to hunt down on him. Bishop who is eventually >> I'm clearing the space >> so that so that he can do the work. Yeah. Two. Uh, back to top five. Oh, sorry. >> Gas check. >> Uh, gas check. Yes, cuz he's doing a hold action, which is my body and my toughness resilience, which my dudes do have. >> Difficulty four, isn't it? That is a one and a two. So, I am not leaving my post. I am staying there. I take one point of damage to the head. So, that is my mini gun, chap. >> So, you hear chalking and >> Yeah, he's not some puking. >> He's not the gas cloud. the guy that was beating her up and the muscles guy was the um were the gas marks people. >> Yeah. >> Um yeah, he starts to but you can clearly hear that he is not leaving his post. He's staying there. >> Makes sense. >> Five apolog uh keep at it. Oh, [laughter] >> so he will have the advantage of cover unless you move into close combat >> and shoot him. >> So you can you can move then attack >> cover. What that >> he's got cover so he's harder to hit at the moment. >> He's also out for a round where this guy is. >> Yeah, the bishop is there. >> Yeah. So I >> Or you could advance onto the bishop who also has cover cuz he's like kind of poking his head out from behind the wall. So you'd have to move into the room. >> Yeah. And that does seem to be the right thing to do because that's where the other ladies are. And uh and that's because I'm >> as my namesake is a hero. >> You're a hero. [laughter] >> I'm going to move in there and take the bishop. >> Okay. Uh you queen >> and the the chess jokes just keep [laughter] giving. Uh, you stride into the room, load another armor-piercing slug, and shoot him somewhere, hopefully in the the body. >> Uh, make upgrade one of your dice. Become a d10 because of my orders. >> Yeah, thank you. >> Keep doing what you're doing. >> These instructions were not that bad, were they? >> Seven. >> Seven. Unsurprisingly, he also doesn't want to get shot. Um, >> see, >> is he still kind of frozen up? >> Yeah, the problem is is um if I dive for a chair, it's only partial cover plus two. So, he's still going to get hit by the seven. [music] >> So, >> he doesn't know that. >> He doesn't know [laughter] that. He doesn't know that. >> He's still going to try, >> but he's basically the cover doesn't help him, but I could still make the seven on the >> It helps me cuz then he's out of action for next turn. So, it's all good. Exploding eight. >> Oh, I don't think so. Can we Can we >> I will take the eight. He does full cover dive behind the sofa. Um he has lost his next round. Um >> well done. >> Kiss kiss the forge. >> Everyone no one wants to get hit. [laughter] >> Nobody wants a shot. It turns out they did all see what happened to her mate downstairs, but he owed her money. [laughter] >> Yeah, you just continued to stride through the area. Um >> and shouting at the ladies to rush through and escape through the hole in the wall. >> They're cable tied to the sofas, are they? >> Oh, just >> just their hands. >> Just their hands and legs. So they can't legs ankles. They can't they're hog tied. They can't. [laughter] >> Um so that was your go, wasn't it? Yeah. Okay. You're just going to keep him locked down. Then he chokes in his gas. [laughter] >> You'll move when he stops me. I like it. It's a great It's a good tactic. I love the gas clouds. I was a massive fan of smoking gases. Uh hammer time. >> I did have my hammer in both hands previously and there was grappling people out the way. So, I'm going to assume that I've dropped my hammer and I'm going to >> Oh, yeah. It's fair. It's fair to say. Yeah. >> I don't hold of it. Can you hold your hair? >> No. He got the guy off of her. >> She uh >> but she failed her stun roll and I got a three on her. So, she's going to be out for another round after just look Anderson doesn't get her out of there. [laughter] >> I'm I'm still kind of in close combat with >> you now. You're in close combat with two people. >> Yeah. >> Uh one of them has a taser in his right hand. Uh the other guy's got like a serrated Rambo like >> Yeah. >> Uh yeah. I'm going to pull out my sword and go for the guy with the >> What is the damage step of your sword? >> D6. >> The knife. >> That's not a knife. >> Six. [laughter] >> The knife. >> Uh, so the sword D6 D4. >> Cool. D6. We are both using D4 damage weapons, which means cuz you've got a bigger weapon, it's harder for me to parry. So my parry drops one step, which is why I was asking that. So, uh, are you hitting the guy with the taser or the guy with the combat knife? I haven't noticed really the guy >> until he draws blood [laughter] at the moment. >> You swing. Go for it. >> Okay. So, uh, muscles and malle downgraded that. >> He does not parry for toffee >> eight. >> Yeah, he does not parry at all. Uh, cuz his dice is downgraded cuz he's using a a small much smaller weapon. >> Okay. Location. >> Give me a d20 location, please. in the head. >> Yes. [laughter] >> Straight to the head and neck. >> The cavitation. >> We cannot show the capitations. [laughter] >> If you do one damage, he'll go unconscious. >> Three. >> Uh that he has one armor. That is two points. He is instant dead. He has gone through his injury straight into limb destroyed. There is no kind of saving grace for head injuries. He is gone. >> Poked you [laughter] in the arm. anywhere as dramatic a level of damage for a total decapitation. It's a corroted archery into a bit of the spine. You yank it out. You put a horrible little nick in your sword. You're going to need to buff that out. I'm I'm That makes me even more angry. [laughter] >> Oh. Um the the the the combat knife to the side didn't bother me. The nick of my sword too far. Apparently, >> the red mist has come back. >> He drops the floor. [laughter] She is still unconscious. >> The compassion is no longer in my mind. >> Five, four, four. >> You're still unconscious. You rolled your D4 for how many rounds are out? >> No, cuz I rolled it. >> Two more rounds after this. Flashbangs are just >> Yeah, that's the awareness and perception goes down. >> His perception is down. >> Uh flashbangs are still brutal. >> I can have the game. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um me on three then he has lost his round. He has lost his round. >> He needs to take a gas. >> He needs to make gas. >> Difficulty five cuz he's been in it around. >> Uh that is a failure. So that is his second point. Um okay. Next round he's going to flee but not now cuz [music] two is not bad. He will flee on injury. Um yeah. Well >> yeah. So Gas is at the start of his [music] turn. So >> okay, he's he'll wait there until he becomes, you know, he's going to hold his action. In fact, he's going to hold his action and just before his turn, >> he will flee at that point with his move. >> Um because he doesn't want to go into actual injuries to the head. >> Yeah, >> but he's going to he's going to hold you down as long as he can. That's his job. >> Um so I only have Mr. Close Combat Knife. >> It's stabbing time, baby. Uh he's not my bishop, so these are his stabbing rolls. I have got a six. Yes, you'll notice this. [laughter] >> Goddamn pig. You'll notice this. >> Please notice this. >> Seven. >> Notice a parry. >> You have a parry. Your parry is um >> step up, isn't it? >> Your muscle and your meal. Your melee dice goes up one step because you have a much larger weapon that is better at parrying than his. >> So, I think that's so muscle d10. So yeah, your muscle stays a d10, but your malle dies. >> So that goes up by a step. >> D10 >> load. [laughter] >> Okay. Yeah. >> Serious embarrassment. >> You just look at this nick in your blade. See a reflection of this dude and go, "Get off." Just [laughter] slap his blade away with the back of your your sword. Will you just please get up? You just leave the room. Ching go. Ching ching ting ting. Get up. >> That's all of my guys. Uh please stand my bit my two fallen guys over cuz they are now back in the game so to speak but they have lost their action too. >> Uh let's bishop. >> Yeah, I'll shoot the bishop. >> You're going to shoot the bishop? >> I assume we're going to move around so you're not trying to shoot through the hostage. Yeah, they're probably [laughter] >> the word collateral. >> Well, now there's somebody on the other side if I'm going to go to there. >> Oh, yeah. What's the word? Forking getting two in between. >> They're probably also probably crawling away [laughter] trying to slink like worms. >> Make that to hit roll. >> Uh, should we do an eight? >> We're in a two. Bottles explode on the bar behind his head. Whiskey and vodka in all directions. That >> two need to hit. They don't. >> Ghost whisper. Ghost whisper to reroll for one. Ghost whisper. >> Yeah. Is it both dice? >> One dice. >> One dice. We roll the >> D confidently and then check the roll. >> No, you reroll both dice. Uh you you you see the shot in your mind's eye missing. alter your aim ever so slightly as your steely grit just as if you're about to receive the pass. You just adjust your trajectory knowing you need to be somewhere. You spend your whisper. >> Now hang on a minute. >> Roll more whispers in order to >> what one? Yeah, one point is or all dice roll. You can spend two to roll one of the dice. Sorry, reoll all the dice but upgrade one of them as well. >> Oh, I thought that might be better. >> Or three. >> Yeah, >> changing the roll of dice for the minimum score needed. But it's only is it a target number four >> unless he makes a dodge in which case he could go up to six. >> Yeah. >> I think you're rolling a d6 and a d8 currently. It may be worth going from a two to >> d10. >> Yeah. >> I love it. This table is go big or go home. >> You're spending everything you've got revisiting every training montage you've ever been involved in. [laughter] >> Got the six. >> You got You got the six. Yeah. Got the six. Yeah, >> he jumps behind, >> loses his turn behind the sofa, >> but he still gets hit. >> And he's not hit. >> Uh, he still wants doors for six. >> Oh, no. He's got six. I'm going to have to make THE ACTUAL DODGE ROLL. NO. >> NO. >> YEAH. YEAH. If you make it, you make it. That's what the game [laughter] >> six explodes. >> Oh, wait. >> [laughter] >> It's a one lucky dives behind the sofa through track him sideways. The woman screams and faints as the the shotgun just tracks towards her [laughter] and you blow out all the upholstery and she's she she passes out. [laughter] >> Hit location. >> It is like that, right? Uh, give me a uh d20 location. >> Shiny seven for a location. >> A left arm. >> Give me some damage. I have one armor point additional because of the crapness of the sofa on the [laughter] >> That is the pillow is destroyed. The armor from the sofa is irrelevant to your like [laughter] tungsten tipped slugs. >> It just goes through his arm. Immediate destruction all through injury. It is destroyed. >> Blown arm. >> Blood. >> Thud. It got a one and a three on my resiliency check. He immediately passes out and will die rapidly. Uh if uh is not to the blood loss. Um arm come off. >> It's a good job she passed out from the fry to the bullet because seeing that happen next time would have given her some night terrors for many months to come. >> She could take though [laughter] hiding behind soft [laughter] and point blank is probably not. >> Let's never do that. Let's >> short career. Alasi does not know about the arm piercing. [gasps and laughter] Oh my word. Uh, back to the top. >> Yeah. Um, >> five. >> Knowing that guy still hasn't left his post yet, I'm just going to load in a flash and try and put it through the hole as well. >> Uh, okay, cool. It is still a five to get it through the hole. >> Would you know that he's >> No, no, I know he's still there cuz I'm still I only have one gas. >> He's got nowhere to go. He's just shooting grenades into a toilet. [laughter] >> That's a seven to hit. >> Okay. Yeah. It rattles off the P. [laughter] Why did I >> There's just ever such a quiet Oh, [laughter] >> Would you say was that a flashback? >> Yeah, flash grenade. Yeah, >> I don't I don't have any frag. [laughter] >> Okay, he has failed the resiliency roll. So, next round. >> So, he's going to miss his >> I just I'm just going to roll out. He misses his turn. He starts stake head injury damage. Uh so, he effectively goes unconscious and he's out from stun damage. >> Please lie. the porn over as you hear this like >> cacophony. If you've ever heard a flashbang go off in a in a in a in a small [laughter] corridor area cuz your mate behind you on a training exercise didn't bother to check if the door in front of me was open when he threw said flashbang. >> Yeah, he did. He rolled it in there and it hit the inside door and started we just said flashbang and went me and him were at the front stack. We do dunk into the corridor like five foot in front of us and and and all we heard from Vine was this guy running the course and he went [laughter] you didn't check to see if the doors open, didn't you, son? And he just he went no sge you [laughter] then boom >> great >> just this echoing and we're at the front and we're just like [groaning] [laughter] >> suddenly forgiven Mike for that. Uh and he still thinks it's funny. We did that in game our first >> our first play test. I flashed myself [laughter] >> and it blinded us and didn't do anything. Didn't do anything to >> Oh, I love him. [laughter] >> Really? >> Yeah. He he slumps to the floor. Uh a squeal of pain. There's puking and snotting as he is now unconscious. [snorts] Um but you know, you have a prisoner in theory. Uh uh over to uh our sword wielding gentleman. Of course, I'm going to head trying to hit the other guy with the sword. >> Cool. Uh, she becomes unstunned this round. >> Our hostage can finally leave this absolute gore fest right now. [laughter] >> Three. Three. It's a swing wildly over his head. He ducks. He tries to bring his knife in for a shank. Um, [laughter] four. Kazu. Finally. Uh, the ringing has stopped. The eyes are unblur you you think you might be able to do something. >> Yep. >> Right. So poke my head into there. I lock eyes with well that guy I guess because the because the to the hostage >> and um go for deep hack into that >> hack into him. Uh >> so D8 barrier >> another D8 but also direct line of sight. So D10. I like the way we've got two different versions of hacking going on. [laughter] >> Right. >> Look at my eyes. Look at my eyes. Not around the eyes. Look at my eyes. One and two. [laughter] So perhaps >> that's another that's another ghost whisper point. >> Wow. Okay, just go through those whispers, boys. >> I think I'll >> I haven't spent one yet. [laughter] >> I use one ghost whisper to reroll the d10. >> We all die. dangerous dice. >> It still revolves. >> Oh, that's all dice. Yeah, >> different version of the rules. >> He changed that at some point. >> A six. >> Cool. That is enough to uh connect into him. You have You're doing the downgrading thing as you're causing him to glitch up, but it is not enough to overwrite his reality or [snorts] erase his ghost. Uh not a horrible a horrible thing as to >> how much is it over his barrier? >> It is a perfect match. >> A perfect match. Okay. Yeah. So, I get upgrade next. Yeah, it wasn't the best hack. I've had it. >> Unsurprising really, considering how much interference is going off in your mind. >> Uh, that was four, three. Uh, just going to have one last [laughter] >> language. We're professionals. >> Double six. That six will explode into a D. Where's my other D8? There's the D8. Uh, I have six. You have been hit. >> Parry. >> Take it. >> You're just going to take it. Okay. >> I'm going to parry. >> Parry's free. Okay. No. [laughter] Ollie confidence. >> He ain't going to hurt me. >> I was going to give him a [laughter] spy. >> No. Parry is a dex. >> Uh, so it's your muscle and your muscle. >> Melee. And because you have the larger weapon, your mele your melee goes up by one. >> 2d8 for memory. >> No. So muscle d10. Melee would be a d8. >> But you upgrade it for a bigger weapon. So it's 2d10. >> 2d10. >> And you're looking for a six or higher. >> Uh, well that one explodes 10. [laughter] >> Of course it does. Of course it does. That's a 10. >> I'm not even behind the [laughter] screen, but I'm so sorry for it. >> It was such a good hit. Um, just because I would like to know cuz I got a four and I got a six. It would have been seven damage, but you just looked down and go, "H, [laughter] >> you would have actually I would have actually cut through your thick rhino." [laughter] >> He He looks at you meekly knowing that his companion from the other room is down. The shotgun wielding lunatic is likely to blow his brains out. Uh the minigun is not going to hold back uh Sakai any longer. And uh as the face kind of drops into this resignation, he locks up and freezes in place. Everything glitches and suddenly the clearly holographic representation drops to the floor like crumbling dust as the training scenario ends. BTO standing at the entrance uh to the training chamber with a keyboard filling in your appraisal situation uh doing various marks. Excellent gentlemen. Well done. Uh all in all pretty good. Uh Zed end camera could have been neutralized earlier. Uh you at the rear. That's your job to spy out these situations and make sure everything goes on. Uh excellent use of distraction by the door for the shock and ore situation to the rear. Just make sure you don't go into any of the uh joists. I have seen that go particularly. >> I'll be shocked. Can you be all right? [laughter] >> And uh and Kazu, more time on the range potentially. [laughter] And remember, you >> you need headwear or gas masks if you're going to try and get that close up and personal. >> I I would like your eyes, sir, for for the flashback. It would have been better rather than fingers. But yes. Yes. If there is an accident or if you rise the level where a rank allows it, I would suggest full optic replacements. Flashbangs are no longer an issue for me. Uh thermographic vision is incredibly useful. Well done. Get yourself a quick coffee. Uh relax, shower. [laughter] >> I might say that's okay with you. [laughter] >> I'm not I'm not sure we can afford it. I'd have to put a requisition form in for more ammunition. Um, >> cool. >> All All hostages survived intact. Uh, minor neurological disorder from being bashed against the wall. Um, but other than that, uh, excellently done, gentlemen. This is exactly the kind of effort I would expect from you. I will immediately be advancing you to uh, field duty. Um, and there are lots of problems in the field that requires your attention. 20 minutes. I'll see you in the recck room. >> He walks out. >> Well, thank you guys. That was the end of a fun session and um yes, well, see you in the next video.
