Well, hello, my name is Bob and I am playing a character named Nina
Snyders Return:all laughing How did him Yeah, Emily joined Oh, to sort of looking back at him and not saying you can tell that they are trying to remain as passive so trying to neither confirm nor deny anything very odd sort of stomach looks on their faces. But this guy's what maybe maybe a week ago power and Adam here he joined and oh, Victor yeah Victor kind of runs it I was hoping to meet him that we were gonna we're gonna do this and then and then go down to to the old house where they've got their main sort of andalo headquarters I suppose again we didn't really didn't get to tell me anything because because he got interrupted.
Aoki Cho:I'll look at the attitude voice and you have been here for longer is it right? to like it
Snyders Return:here, I would like you to roll me a convince against a not cooperating three. So that's a negative three to whatever you add on.
Aoki Cho:Okay, um, I will use a warrior's wisdom. Again. I have this thing called amped up, which is kind of an enhancement of ability. It's kind of, you know, when when you get static, you have the Static Energy kind of building up in your body and your hair's kind of start raising, rising and being like, all spiky. And I would do that as a means of, kind of, I'm seeing that something isn't right here. And I want to go get true to those. True that those kids and I'm kind of getting prepared to do anything that I have to to get a word out of them. Okay. Okay, those would be two. We have those. The crew team theme called morally grey situations you do.
Nina de Silva:We also have watch each other's back. I mean, it can just be there like menacingly towering over everyone. Like for them this Viper? I do.
Aoki Cho:Do you maybe want to help me? I think you can. That's that's the thing.
Snyders Return:Right? There are helping her points, but we haven't assigned any to this. But there is a game mechanic that we would potentially use in the future.
Nina de Silva:Just do you I can't we can use the tag. What two jobs back? Maybe.
Aoki Cho:I think watch each other's back. Okay. Sure. Done then I'll use the watch each other's back. So we have a three against a minus three. Yes.
Snyders Return:The crew.
Aoki Cho:Okay, convince. Yes, please.
Nina de Silva:You always will. So well, I want to be you.
Unknown:Wow.
Aoki Cho:And the partagas burned right now. Right?
Snyders Return:It is okay. So, yeah, so the crew theme one is no longer that true theme tag is no longer available, currently, okay to choose a relative status relevant status with the power to equal to power. So that's a minimal one. So VA to one status. Your target can choose to either take status, or change their agenda to include yours, at least for the time being. So what would you call the status
Aoki Cho:I would call it intimidated, because there is that you're not very big asian dude. But He kind of looks quite menacing. And he looks well built, even though he doesn't have that bodybuilder statue, but he has that posture of being a martial artist that you look at him and you see Oh God, okay, he has some skill. So, I am asking you a question, you can
Snyders Return:see one is about to speak, and then they, they almost both start the sentence together, and then one stops speaking and allows the other one to speak, as these two sort of look at you. And they say, you do not need the information if you aren't involved you unless you want to become involved. What do you offer me community for being involved? safety, a sense of belonging, a sense of something bigger, something better?
Unknown:Why
Aoki Cho:are you afraid of something? Or why would you turn to this community?
Snyders Return:That is mainly wants to be alone?
Aoki Cho:Okay, but what makes you think you need this kind of closed? group? And is this rather an conspicuous
Snyders Return:place they look to you. And the second one speaks this time, and now you're sort of up close to the curve, you can sort of see the wearing sort of the dark clothes that seem to have sort of lightened sort of skin tones somehow, and you can see hidden or concealed, shall we say, behind makani really be described as like a makeup or some sort of body paint? It's not body paint is makeup, the forearms down to the wrists and running up under the cuffs seems to be sort of a darkness in the veins, as the second one turns to and says, We come here because it is a wide open space for meeting others.
Unknown:If I look at where
Nina de Silva:Yeah, we look like everything's really weird. Can I like I? I'm always short like me as a as a character. I'm almost sure. Like, this is not normal. This is not how people behave. This is now. Yeah, and of course, like the nail in the coffin was this, like, I don't know what's going on of the bodies of these people. But it's also not normal. So can I try and see through the mist somehow?
Snyders Return:Yes, you can. So to do that, to see through the mist? You wrote it, investigate, but use your mythos powers rather than any power take so. So you would roll a plus, if you draw an investor you had to?
Nina de Silva:So I do investigation plus two?
Snyders Return:Because you're tapping directly into your mythos power. And your greater link to your mythos allows you to see beyond the missed or have a better chance of seeing the list.
Nina de Silva:Okay, like this, I have two main things. And these are the like the power is equal to how many medical students I have. So I have two, so it's a power of two,
Snyders Return:right? good effort. Okay. So sort of ignoring what it says in the the bar for investigate, because that isn't the move you made. With respect to seem beyond the mist, the as it sort of starts to pull back. The the junkyard you're stood in very much still looks like a junkyard. It's almost like a labyrinth in places. You can argue that it has sort of a labyrinth type feel to it. But it is just twisted metal stacked in unusual ways. The new comer appears as he should sort of, even though you peel the Miss back, he still appears to be as he was before. But the other two that the different pay seem to take on a more interconnected form and almost like a trail from them seems to trail off in the direction of the others. They seem to Be almost suspended above, above the ground, like black sphere. They seem to stretch into a humanoid form and then back to this odd shape and they seem to be connected but separate and it's bizarre to say the least.
Unknown:Oh,
Nina de Silva:I don't know what to do if this information. I don't think Nina knows what to do with this information she's going to grab, I Oh, cuz I'm like quiet. She usually doesn't do contact but this was really instinctive. Like, Oh, Jesus and
Unknown:and
Nina de Silva:I think I'm just gonna make her grab his arm like squeeze a bit. This if I okay, okay knows her already. It's been a while since they know each other. Like, he's gonna know something's going on if something might have wrapped his arm, and she's going to be sorry, directly, often.
Unknown:Yeah.
Nina de Silva:That's my reaction. Maybe I can tell us something. Like just Oh, Jesus.
Unknown:Okay,
Aoki Cho:I probably get the message that something is not right. And I will I'll just ask Where is Emily? And where are also the other kids that have joined this group of yours and have not returned home for days now.
Snyders Return:Hi, there sorry for the interruption. It's Adam here. Just let you know that we will be showcasing some of our friends across the tabletop role playing community. Links to their shows will be in the description below. Enjoy the promos, get in contact, engage with them engage with us. We'd love to hear from you. And I'm sure so would they. So, quick advert and then straight back to the event. You're welcome to dive cloud.
Unknown:Cloud Time,
Dive Cloud:time that Sequoia told us he was going to take the mushrooms and turn them into a devastating army and fighting force. Yeah, I don't remember that. I didn't I don't think I said that. A small dog with a hammer in its mouth as it is standing up on a stool and it's these roots spread out all over moving up into the air wrapping
Unknown:our name boundedness one forms together because that 20 Oh hi, I'm
Dive Cloud:cold the host and dm of dive cloud at tabletop podcast a d&d five e actually plays show the focus on mystery jazz and robots. Find us wherever you listen to podcast on our Twitter at Cloud cast or website dive cloud cast comm See you there
Snyders Return:you can see the given an unusual sort of look for a moment or almost as though recollection in both eyes, but that that seems to fade just as quickly, the two of them look at you and try to see more. That is none of your, your business, none of your concerns. If we have seen Emily or or not. And you can see the third one is about to speak. And then sort of gets almost flooded with this fear of not to speak out as he saw it becomes trapped by sort of like a peer pressure. So he's under peer pressure too. If you want to get more information from him, so they are not cooperating three and he is under peer pressure to do
Nina de Silva:you free brats really think you could think you can take on us make this decision wisely. You may not be the only ones. How have a bit of luck. I would say a helping hand. Whatever it is maybe
Snyders Return:that's fine, as you say that the one closest to you is like we are more than one and he's going to reach out and try and grab your arm. I'd like you to face danger,
Nina de Silva:right to wager Can I use text for face danger?
Unknown:I'll work.
Nina de Silva:If I if I am to you the targets probably gonna be close range. So that's how we can start. Oh, that's fun
Snyders Return:face danger when you use your abilities to avoid an incoming hit injury or harm, resist them in line, yet my line have influenced or hold it together, the emcee or the player, depending on who's doing it will name a status which I have an attack so infected one and you will roll with power. And then depending on what your outcome is, depends on what happens okay,
Nina de Silva:I'm actually going to have to roll this event because I would say I have seen this coming because I have this treason Raider thing. And then I say it This can mean that I can read people like and they can see when they are going to do something to me. So that I can I would say neutralise close run to advantage so I'm going to use so it's actually enrolling with our office you're
Unknown:good luck.
Aoki Cho:I just wanted to say that I as bodyguard not no not really but as a fighter I do have very quick reaction to step in and kind of try to deflect or or to catch the the the arm we will see how the face danger goes.
Snyders Return:And then we can see how yours maybe you can change the name go toe to toe. So face danger first. So as
Aoki Cho:finally have a myth
Unknown:Yay.
Snyders Return:So the short one is incredibly quick. reaching out and tapping your hand and or your your forearm Nina and you just feel it's like a Fern but there is a sensation that begins to run into your arm and just for a second it seems to sort of run black through your veins. As you take HIV infected one would like the go toe to toe from Aoki
Aoki Cho:okay then I would use my lightning reflexes my fast as a lightning and my amped up and maybe probably my my my warriors wisdom so that would kind of be for power to it's not like I'm just going to smack him in the face and I'm going to kind of get get his arm and do probably an arm tro in okay the epon from from Judo and Kane tried to either get him grapple him or if he he's like if I see his too too strong I'll just try to knock them out
Snyders Return:I think it with all I've done I go toe to toe go toe to toe Okay. Oh wow. Page your dice are starting to wear off so you managed to achieve your goal take some of the net hold you get them good inflecting your status or you can block count to their best attempt
Aoki Cho:is there any way that I can? Well the the attack against bar have already happened right?
Snyders Return:Yeah, we will. We will say that. Yeah.
Aoki Cho:It's a mild success. It's it's only fair. Okay, then I will Yeah, I'll grab his arm and we'll throw him on the ground and almost give him an arm lock and bashes his head into the ground since he he won't probably know much. I will just try to knock him unconscious. So there's there are the other two guys who will probably be a little bit more helpful.
Snyders Return:Okay.
Aoki Cho:I don't know status for for kind of
Snyders Return:one, you only get to choose one so you either manage to achieve your goal goal. Oh, you either inflicted status or you counter block dojo counter.
Unknown:Well,
Aoki Cho:my goal would be to to knock him out. Correct. Is that fine? Or is it like
Snyders Return:Yeah, okay. works on either manager to achieve your goal or block dodged counter. Okay.
Aoki Cho:So and that that happens so fast that it's, it's it hasn't been a kind of an eyeblink and that guy was on the ground and probably drooling.
Snyders Return:Nice as you two are on the ground. meaning your arm still has this sort of almost black track marks on the vein, the new boys is sort of taken aback and starts to run off leaving sort of heading out into or trying to find a way out of the scrap yard. The other ones who saw was mimicking the movements of the first now sort of reaches down to, to try and what it looks like to try and grab you or to at least try and free their friend. So I would like you to roll these and face danger or yoki
Aoki Cho:I will use since I was bestowed with the powers of lightning God, I will use exactly that on I will do a lightning attack in an attempt. Okay, guy. Since I have already used most of my other part tags, that's kind of what I have left. And yeah, it's just going to be a power one. Face dangerous, please. Okay, I take the status
Snyders Return:in status one as one but I don't think you can take less than zero status. So as they go to grab you and you're able to sort of move your reflexes instead of grabbing you with the palm of the hand which seems to have more of this sort of black vein like appearance, they actually try to catch you with the with the elbow on the follow through as they're trying to rest it all detain grab all these different things. So as we'll see, you take thumped one as he sort of bruises bruises you but not quite. It's kind of one of those punches that Miss but still kind of connect. As this hand comes racing towards you. shift out the way but it still kind of makes contact enough just to give you a small bruise. So bumped one nunca Nina,
Nina de Silva:um, okay, so it could because that the guy that's normal, kid, that's normal ran away. Yes. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's the one on the ground. That's the one that's kind of going to, like try to infect karaoke or something. I want to quickly change the game like not be infected anymore. Please, like remove most infected status. I will like look at my arm. Okay, and be like, Oh, no.
Snyders Return:Roll me a change the game then please.
Nina de Silva:I don't think any of my missiles tags can help me. But I can use in control to like control and try to calm myself down. And that's probably a it's actually. Yeah, that's it.
Unknown:Yeah, I'll roll with the PowerPoint. All right.
Snyders Return:Oh, there you go. Jay,
Nina de Silva:what's okay. I can do two things. Quick, effective one, and I have to put words to dues.
Snyders Return:Yes, you do.
Nina de Silva:Oh, Jesus, I should probably like, create a storytime. I can't. What would be we don't have a party. There's no party going on? I would say I'm going to create one. But what would that be?
Snyders Return:Excellent question.
Nina de Silva:I would say could it create a start tag names maybe like snake blood that like maybe the fact that manifests has to do with a snake and expects a venomous so like, if you infect me, I am less likely to be infected. So something like that.
Snyders Return:You could create a story tag say maybe I'm just gonna say anti venom.
Unknown:Yeah. immunity. Okay,
Snyders Return:I'll do that. So, you know, you able to sort of take charge of yourself as it were, concentrate, enough control your breathing work or mythos powered through you, you know, in a way to control your physical form.
Nina de Silva:Okay. Yeah, I am impressed of it because I just like it's like Nina kind of panicked for a little moment and was like, Oh, can I be for me and like tried with all her my to like make something work and it kind of worked but she doesn't know how it happened. Okay,
Snyders Return:yeah, no, that was cool. So as you are calming yourself down okis on the floor, avoiding one grappling a different one.
