Speaker
Good morrow. Good afternoon. And good... What's night? Knocked. Scootin' knocked. Scootin' knocked. You kind of said like knock. It means naked. What'd you say? I said good naked? Yes. What's the word for naked? Naked is knocked. Knocked. Yes. You said scootin' knocked. Oh.
00:00:49
Speaker
Well, good morning, good afternoon and good naked to all of you out there. This is Roblers. And welcome back to The Phony Express. We've got we got Cass here as rain. We got Justin here as cutter. And we've got Adrian here as some blend of maverick, maybe naked maverick. We don't know. Maybe naked maverick. Maybe he lost his clothes with his age. Maybe he
Recap of Previous Events
00:01:12
Speaker
lost his clothes, you know, like your your
00:01:14
Speaker
You weren't wearing those outfits when you got young. So now you're now you're a nude boy. So Cass, what happened last time on role players? Go. Oh, we ran kill a guy and then sent another guy down. Well, he she tossed his body down the ravine and then cut her bottom back up. And she almost she wanted to toss him back down that ravine. But she was like, you know what? I'm going to take them to Sheriff Jeff. I'll do the right thing. So.
00:01:42
Speaker
They went back to Punky's and Punky was able to help her get her chest turned into a camera so now she's flashing everybody literally.
Ghost Train Dream and Level Up Discussion
00:01:54
Speaker
Maverick went on a ghost train dream within a ghost train dream within a ghost train dream and is slowly dying on the outside. But Rin and Cutter are just finding it. Well, Cutter just found out that he's not breathing ish most much. So now she is on her way to get to do that where the only place she knows there is a doctor. I'd say what else? What else? What else? What else? There's something else that happened.
00:02:23
Speaker
The ghost train actually, you got, y'all got stopped by the ghost train, right? Um, yeah, I think we like saw the ghost train, like heading for do that. Yeah. We saw it as it was like next to us as we were headed to do that. Right. And we saw a little baby Maverick in the window. Yeah. I mean, he's baby Maverick compared to, you know, how old the actual is. I mean, he's a, he's a, he's a little guy. He's a little fella.
00:02:50
Speaker
Um, uh, and cutter was teaching a gentleman, uh, his reading skills, I believe, um, uh, the, the little engine that could, um, I think I can, you think you can. Uh, and just for the audience, uh, everybody, um, everybody leveled up, I think once, maybe twice, did we do twice or once? I can't remember twice because we did so good at playing along with the dream sequence.
Debate on Boarding the Ghost Train
00:03:18
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just so everybody knows about that. I didn't tell them to do that. So that was just I was kind of nervous at first when I was just like, oh, you guys can talk because I didn't want to play their characters for them. And, you know, they they leaned right into the whole thing of, hey, never go to fuck to sleep. So I was so elated at the end of the episode that I was like, you know what? Just have two level ups instead of just the one guy. So I think Cutter got smarter. I think that.
00:03:47
Speaker
Something happened with. Yeah, I'm more smarter than them other guys are now. That's right. Players, but I don't know other people in the world. Maverick is currently or Adrian is currently using a different character sheet because he's currently young maverick. He somehow still has. No, that's somehow he still has somehow he still has all the levels of.
00:04:09
Speaker
Old maverick, so we don't know how that's working. Because Adrian didn't want to sacrifice levels, but he still wanted to be young maverick. That's just like ghost magic. Ghost magic, right. And then Ren, as she said, is flashing
Ghost Train Challenges Begin
00:04:25
Speaker
people, and she's stronger now. She's got a little more vigor. Yeah, a little bit more vigor. She's a tough gal now. Although Ren doesn't get beat up that much. No, she's pretty tough.
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah, she shoots first and ask questions later that we witnessed that. Yep. The ways that happened.
00:04:46
Speaker
Yeah. She's very, she doesn't really, you know, before, uh, everything before she met cutter and Maverick, she really wasn't into like people very much. And so she like really loves animals. And so when, um, she finds out that somebody hurts an animal, she doesn't, she doesn't take that very good nicely. She wasn't taking lightly. That's right. So take that to the bank and cash it. Um,
00:05:15
Speaker
Unless they're attacking her like the wolves did. That was a different story. So you guys, I'll bet you're off if you scratch.
00:05:23
Speaker
If you scratch the paint on the on the on the arm. Yeah. So we are. You guys were riding along in your wagon alongside the the ghost train, as Maverick calls out and yells all aboard the ghost train. You guys see him on there. I don't remember if I said the train stopped or if you guys are riding alongside it still. I think we're still going. Well, let's just say the train is still going. So, Rin, you are
00:05:51
Speaker
You and Maverick, or you and Cutter called out to Maverick. Hey, what are you doing on that motherfucking train? When you realized that was him without the beard and the glasses and everything. And then Maverick called out that you guys should hop aboard the train. Uh, so that's really, so what do you do? You, you heard that and you see that as you're riding alongside. What do you do? Um, she kind of like thinks about it for a second. She's like, uh, that's another.
00:06:18
Speaker
I think that's another hurdle that I'm gonna have to cross as soon as I get done with Taking my friend to do dad to get to the doctor so she's just kind of like she's gonna shrug and And who she can't see obviously cuz the wagon but she's gonna say cutter there's like a ghost train out here I'm not really sure but I'm gonna ignore it for now and then as soon as we can get to
00:06:48
Speaker
Dude had I'll cross that bridge when we get there because we got to get cutter to the doctor now I'm cutter you gotta get maverick to the doctor Sorry maverick to the doctor What's wrong with me? Nothing you're fine. You're perfect. You're beautiful That's yeah, it's pretty confusing. Uh, but yeah maverick back here So, uh, I guess we gotta worry about his actual body first and whatever wickedy-woo hickey-bickety-bullshits over there later
00:07:18
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you know what happens when panic happens? Like, you know, the brain, it doesn't really work. And, you know, all this weed. Maybe I should get on there and talk to young Maverick. You could take old Maverick's body. Oh, God. He's looking so... I don't know if that's a good idea, if that we should stop, though. I'll hop on, just drive alongside. You ain't never seen them
Rin's Crash and Struggle
00:07:44
Speaker
silent picture shows?
00:07:48
Speaker
Uh, I'm caught by movies. We're still alongside those while I deliberate. You are still alongside it. Oh, damn. I don't know. What's that? What was the guy's name? Uh, that we captured and named Stan. You've been calling him everything other than his name, but his name is Filler. Hey Filler. Yeah.
00:08:18
Speaker
What do you reckon we think we should do here? What? Don't do what? All I hear is it sounds like you guys are about to ride off a railroad track or something. Yeah, there's there's a fellow on that other train. Looks like a young version of Maverick here. And Maverick here looks like he's dead. Oh, damn it. But I feel like we shouldn't be leaving young Maverick on that train. Something is going to go talk to him, I think. What do you reckon? I don't know what y'all are talking about, that the sky is red. You're telling me that there's a young boy on the train. It looks like your friend. Yeah.
00:08:49
Speaker
Well, I don't know if you think normally I don't know, man, I heard opinion, but he's not able to give me his third opinion.
00:08:56
Speaker
Well, I can tell you this that if you see my friend Jed on there, you tell me and I'd be jumping over there in a heartbeat to go see him again since your friend done went and shot him in the face. You're right. I needed my first instincts. Rain, get this here thing to do, Dad. Be kind to this here feller. He's trying his best, all right? And I whipped the cover of the wagon off the back corner and I queued myself up to...
00:09:23
Speaker
Going to do a little jumping onto the train. Yeah. No promises. All right. Let's do this twofold. First, we're going to have Ren do a riding roll to see if she can keep this bad boy on the right track, so to speak, but not on the track. Because that would be bad. Yeah, six.
00:09:44
Speaker
That's a six, as Rin keeps the wagon steady and riding alongside the best you can, alongside this phantom locomotive beside you. Cutter, would you please make an athletics roll? Sure, shoot and can. Leap across. I got a six. Nice. The way you describe what it looks like when you jump on. What happened?
00:10:07
Speaker
I get up on the little rickety sideboard thing or whatever of the wagon and the little flaps are flapping. Ah, god damn it. I jump towards the little section piece between the two cars and probably stumble in there a little bit, probably fall flat on the little platform in the middle. It looks like a ghost, but it's hard as fuck.
00:10:33
Speaker
I probably try to yell at her in, but she probably just, maybe she looks back, she sees me waving, and I'm like, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. I'm like, I'll get it, keep going. Whatever.
00:10:49
Speaker
Does it say boo boo instead of woo woo when it goes horns? Will that make it more fun for you if it does? Yeah, it goes boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo Boo boo boo boo Boo boo boo boo Boo boo boo Boo boo Boo boo Boo boo Boo boo Boo boo Boo boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo
00:11:10
Speaker
You can see through the back car. It looks like there's several cars that just continue on for miles. And you can just see a sort of just kind of decrepit looking people back there. And some of them look perfectly fine. They look just like you, just normal cowpoke in there.
00:11:27
Speaker
And then there's also a train to your front that you know, like from where you jump that that's the direction that maverick is Since you hit the backside of the train with a more farther backside of the train, right? All right, but similar scenery. I'm hunting maverick. So I'm gonna go that way I'm also going to try and search for cutter Did you see do you think you saw cutter jump onto the train I think so because he was looking outside of the window like watching them and
00:11:52
Speaker
All right, so why don't you make a notice rule to see if you can figure out where he might have landed and see if you can find him. That's a 20. Holy shit. Yeah, you get like this kind of tingling in your ghostly brain.
00:12:07
Speaker
You know, you feel whip smart and very quick, you know, your young bones don't creak at all. And you feel like, I heard it. And then you hear a tink, like probably like eight cards back, which is like, I know for certain that that's where my friend just landed. That sounded like a cutter. That's a cutter. Five of us heard it. I know that sound anywhere.
00:12:32
Speaker
So you're going to walk back through all the other cars and try to meet cutter. So I stand up and continue my way backwards. Yes. Continue your way backwards. And as you walk past, you see more people just kind of sitting, minding their own business, like
Battles on the Ghost Train
00:12:46
Speaker
looking out the windows or just kind of with their head down or reading some kind of book.
00:12:50
Speaker
or some kind of catalog of sorts with their heads down as you continue onward. Cutter, you can see as you're making your way up, again, similar thing, just people kind of with their heads down or looking at the windows, generally relatively normal looking people. And as you continue through the carts, you can see through a couple of windows ahead, you can see a familiar looking young face making its way towards you. Oh, that baby face bastard, I start running up that way.
00:13:21
Speaker
Uh, Maverick, young Maverick. Excuse me. You see middle aged cutter overall. He is normal age of 25. I was wondering, are you all in order me? I think he's still probably older than you. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, nice to have you in this car. Are you also going to do that? What? Why? What's going on, Maverick? Who the hell?
00:13:49
Speaker
You know, it's like heading towards work. You're heading towards work? Yeah, and do that. With Sheriff Jeff? Who's that? I don't know, my fella, you can probably work. Why are you so young and baby-faced? I mean... How old are you? I'm 19 and you? 25, but... Damn, fella. Hell. You are not too young for a 25-year-old person.
00:14:18
Speaker
Well, I try to stay away from everybody says smoking is good for you, but I see too many people hacking up black flame dot. I don't know. It doesn't seem right to me, but anyway, yeah. Point. Uh, uh, what you're going to work. Yes. That's like what a normal person does. Right. Nor are we talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Huh?
00:14:48
Speaker
So what are you going to do and do that? Save you. OK. You mean save me from this capitalistic society that makes you work? No. What kind of work are you going to do, Maverick? No, I have this job at this weird restaurant that also functions as a bottle, I think.
00:15:20
Speaker
Oh. Oh. He's one of the talent. Amazing. Hello. When? When did you get on his train, Maverick? That's a good question. I can't really remember. I cannot fall asleep. And yeah, don't quite know when I got on here.
00:15:46
Speaker
Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to lay it to you straight Maverick. You're really about like a 70 or six 50 year old mountain. I don't know. You're old man. Uh, and now you're on this train all of a sudden, which is a spooky train. This is, uh, something's wrong with it. And, uh, I don't think anything's right here, Maverick. You know, that sounds like quite a story that sounds.
00:16:16
Speaker
Weirder than his train. Like, we're like on his normal train going to do that. Look around, there's like normal looking people around here. You can touch me, I'm like real. I ain't gonna touch him ever. All right, well, I was, I believe you, but, um,
00:16:43
Speaker
I think I would go talk to the man in charge of driving a train just on account of I just got on sort of last minute. Oh, yeah, sure. I'll come with you. All right. Yeah, let's go talk to the conductor or man at the wheel or the stick, whatever they use. And so while you guys are making your way back up towards the front, Rin, you are riding as fast as you can towards Doo Dad, right? Mm-hmm. Going to Dr. Lulu.
00:17:10
Speaker
Dr. Lulu. So first of all, can you make another riding roll for me? Sure.
Ghost Train Challenges Conclude
00:17:22
Speaker
Just because you're on some rocky terrain, you're trying to make your way back. Ooh. That's a twat. So yeah, you're hitting a lot of more fun. You got to head down. Ain't no backseat bending. Don't be a backseat Benjamin.
00:17:40
Speaker
Stan's back there, he's all distracting me and shit, and I accidentally hit a fucking rock and knocks him out. Yeah, well, I don't say Stan gets knocked out, but you just kind of hear like, ow! In the back. Damn it, stop talking! Damn it, Maverick's boot doesn't come up and kick me in the jaw! You wrote that, you think bad guys.
00:18:05
Speaker
So as you're riding, Ren, you see that the ghost train seems like it's starting to pick up speed and kind of starting to really barrel ahead of you as the tracks continue to build themselves and ride towards off into the distance towards where Dudad is. And then you can see as it starts to barrel past you, just like overtaking you by quite a margin, you can see as the back
00:18:29
Speaker
Uh, the back cars start to reveal themselves and they start to form behind the rest of the cars. You can see that there are guys on the back of it with rifles pointed at you and they're loading their guns and getting ready to shoot at you. Awesome. But what do you do? One response. How many?
00:18:48
Speaker
Uh, I didn't specify a number. You just kind of, you can see, I'd say you probably see at least three right now. They're probably like leaning over the, over the railing. Uh, there's probably a guy up on top of the train car. Um, you know, and he's got a, they all got rifles cause they're long range. They're Rangers. So like, um, they're riflemen. So what did I do? And then comes and just like tears through your tears through some of the sheets of the wagon near. Oh shit.
00:19:17
Speaker
Hey, why don't you sit up? Maybe they'll get you for me. Oh, God. No, I'm spooning Maverick right now. So she's going to take her left hand because I believe from where I see it, she's riding on the right hand side of the train, right?
00:19:36
Speaker
Uh, that's the train is on your right. Yeah, I always imagine the train is on my right. OK. Yeah. Imagine the train was on your left. I imagine we were on the left of the train. Oh, yeah, you were. Yeah. The train is to your right as you guys are barreling towards you, dad. So your your your shot would have to be to the right. OK, so she's going to take out her robotic hand and she's going to take Betsy and she's going to try to shoot two of them at least.
00:20:04
Speaker
All right. And because I have a double tap, I can fire two shots in rapid succession without spoiling their aim. That's nice. And if I. I think it adds plus one to the hit.
00:20:26
Speaker
to the damage damage. Yes. OK, that's fine. Go ahead. And so are you shooting a two different fellers or just shooting two at one guy? Two different fellers. OK, let's see two shots, please. OK, five. There's a five.
00:20:43
Speaker
And a six. There is a six. You know, I probably should invoke some penalties on there because you're trying to steer your carriage and ride along a wagon. But I forgot. So this time around, I'm not going to go ahead and roll rolls. I'd say those are probably decent enough to hit the guy. Yeah. All right. Thirteen plus one and a seven.
Rin's Dilemma Post-Crash
00:21:04
Speaker
Uh, yeah, you fucking take the one guy straight out. He goes, he does that old fashioned like cowboy thing where he drops his gun and puts both hands over his chest and goes, and then like this falls off the wagon or falls off the train. And as he falls, you just see him kind of turn into nothing like before he hits the ground as if he didn't exist. And then you see another one pops up in his place and they all start just like, you know, you wound the other guy. He's all shook up.
00:21:34
Speaker
And they're going to take some crack shots that you ran. They're going to shoot. You know what? I was going to give a minus two since y'all are fucking doing that, but they still got a seven on that shot. And a five versus this first guy misses straight or the second guy misses like and like again, it tears to another another hole in your in the the sheets of the wagon. You're oh god damn it. I think I done pissed my average pants. We won't tell.
00:22:03
Speaker
But this one hits you, and it's going to do, oh shit. And that was, okay, good thing that there was a minus two, because otherwise they would have got their bonus damage as well. But they don't. So because that would have been a seven, four plus three. Yeah, they just missed an ace on you. So that's 18 dermaged to you, Rin. Okay.
00:22:26
Speaker
So my toughness is 13. So how do I? So toughness. So you're shaking and every four above that is a wound. So if you're at 13 plus four, that's a 17. So you're wounded and you got one wound and you're shaking. That's not good. Gotcha. Yeah.
00:22:46
Speaker
So, yeah, the bullet comes careening through the sheet again as you're trying to ride away. And it comes to the sheet and kind of hits you in the back of the in the back of the tank a bit and like your your your tank starting to leak a little. As you as you get a whole blown in, what do you do?
00:23:04
Speaker
Um, she's probably going to try to see if she can get bitey, uh, to run faster and, um, get to doctor to lose as soon as possible. Okay. So she's going to do that and then try to do a double tap if it doesn't work.
00:23:25
Speaker
OK, so firstly, so that would be two different actions if you're going to try to get the horse to do a thing, and then you are going to do a thing. Your double tap will still only count as one, but it would be a two-roll penalty if you do that. And you'll have to mark a wound on your character sheet, which will give you a minus one as well. So it's going to be a little harder to do if you try to do two things at once. OK, so scratch that, because I am hurt. So I'm just going to try to go faster. Every wound gives you a minus one to what you're doing.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yeah, I forgot about that. I'm going to go faster. OK, so you're going to try to ride and just kind of dip around. Now, are you trying to ride straight or are you just leaving the parallel, you know, leaving the parallel to a track? Yeah, like I'm going to try to get out of like the way of the way of the train. So she's going to like take the wagon and kind of go
00:24:19
Speaker
veering off so that they're not as close and run faster and in like zigzags. Gotcha. Okay, first, roll to unshake to see because right now you're kind of days from getting shot.
00:24:35
Speaker
Shit you rolled a critical fail on your on your own shake So I saw that you rolled a 10 but because you are not unshaken that I unfortunately I cannot give that to you So you're trying to like you know, bitey is just losing his shit bitey's a boy, right? Did we determine he was a boy horse? Yeah, he's losing his shit and you're trying to like veer him away from the away from the
00:25:05
Speaker
away from the track, but like the, you know, just because of like, yeah, butternut's trying to ride alongside the wagon as well to stay, stay with cutter the best you can. Uh, and, uh, and, uh, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to say that like you just, if anything, you start to slow down because like, like butternut or, uh, Biden's losing his shit and can't even run straight anymore because like you kind of winced when you got shot and you pulled on the reins and said like, no, he's all like, I mean, um,
00:25:35
Speaker
So so, yeah, these guys are unfortunately they're going to lay into you another time, Ren. So another guy pops up. So like there's three of them that are going to take a shot at you this time. Are you prepared? Is that a clown car? Fuck. It's a clown train, motherfucker. Even while being shot still remains humor. So you're slowing down, but they're still speeding up. So I'm still going to give them a minus two to their shot because now they have to like change direction to shoot you.
00:26:05
Speaker
Um, but that's a critical fail for that guy. Um, that's a fail for that guy. And they all missed you completely because they weren't expecting you to slow down right away. So just like you see, there's the bullets like fire into the dirt and kick up dirt in front of you and Biden. Uh, and, um, so now they're just barreling ahead of you and like that particular train car is, is gone. So right now you're kind of in the clear, but you're incredibly behind where you need to be to catch up with the ghost train.
00:26:36
Speaker
Yeah, because, yeah, now cutters going to die even faster or maverick. So while you while you think about your next move, let's go back to Maverick and cutter in the ghost train. You guys are in the ghost train and you're moving your way up through to go see the conductor, right? Yes. Yeah. And you guys just continue walking. Is the train loud enough or ethereal enough that we don't hear the shots outside? I don't.
00:27:04
Speaker
That's a good question. You know what? Why don't you roll a notice? You can if you're trying specifically, are you trying to hear for it or you think just maybe it's going to be trying to. But then I'm going to say probably not just because like the train is so fucking loud and like.
00:27:22
Speaker
And they're so far back on the other cars that you probably wouldn't hear much of anything. You probably hear like, like every once in a while, but like as the train kind of is building tracks underneath you as well, you're probably hearing that more than anything. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. All righty. Yeah. All right. Let's keep going up on in front of this dang thing. I hope they're in too many ahead of us. I don't remember how far this thing went, how far back it went. Yeah, me needed to be honest. This train's... You see...
00:27:47
Speaker
You see a fella who's got like a little blue kerchief around his neck and you know a nice little leather vest and he goes well y'all from uh you uh you knew from around here you know I don't remember seeing you getting on the train there feller.
00:28:03
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's actually why I'm here. I wanted to speak, uh, to, to folks in charge. You know, I accidentally got on his, as it happens, you know, you accidentally got on, did you get your ticket punched or, uh, cause I mean, you really should go talk to one of the, you know, one of the workers here. Sometimes they just accidentally like get some trains. It's like, yeah. Kind of.
00:28:28
Speaker
I mean, I ain't never heard it. Just accidentally getting on a train before, but you know, just make sure that you go get your ticket punched and that you have a ticket because listen, I'm a good citizen. I'm an upstanding citizen and I will not tolerate ne'er dwells on this train with me. Oh, no. Hey, certainly. I mean, if I want to get off this train without paying my due. All right. Okay, cool. I think he just sits down and goes back to reading the newspaper. Hey, you work here, fella? You're just a passenger.
00:28:59
Speaker
I'm sorry, have we talked before? Do I know you? No, my my mistake. She's oh, my God. All right, let's get to the front of the city on here. Let's get going. You continue up until eventually you get to a point where you don't see another entrance. You don't see an entrance to the front of the train where the conductor would be. You just see you've gotten to another car that seems a lot bigger than the rest of the cars, even though when you saw the train from the outside cutter, it looks all the same.
00:29:27
Speaker
But like this car looks fucking huge Very spacious and you can see that there is There's a there's a gentleman sitting at like this big circular table And he's kind of flipping a coin in his hands and spinning it on the table every once in a while He's got a white hat on it's got like one of those black ribbons around the top of it He's kind of like fiddling with his coins and he says Oh, come on sit down there fillers I gotta
00:29:57
Speaker
got a proposition for you. Um, what would that be? Well, I mean, you're here to see the big guy, right? That was our initial plan. Yeah. For some reason, they seem to forgot to bolt the door. Oh, no, that ain't nothing. You you got to earn your way to go and see the big guy. All right, then what do we gotta do? Well,
00:30:26
Speaker
Reckon you got your little buddy here, so I mean maybe y'all need to do a little partnering up, but You know you got to play some games. You got to earn it around here. You got to earn some tokens to see the boss Okay, otherwise don't get away from China My little fella little fella you just a little fella with him. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're doing you're the little fella oh
00:30:50
Speaker
Well, you know, I'm a tall boy. I ain't really remembered this in a long time, but I am a little thin skinned. So you son of a bitch, I'm going to beat your ass whenever game you got for me. Oh, is that right? Yeah. Lay down whatever cards or sticks you got to play with. He takes off his hat and puts it on the table. And you can see that there's like these massive horns that are sticking out of his head now that are kind of curled forward a little bit.
00:31:16
Speaker
I like put my finger up in my mouth. They were like, uh, uh, and, uh, you guys, it goes, well, all right. You, uh, I reckon y'all understand that, uh, you're on an undead get away. I think I'm dead. Get away. Yeah. I tried telling you, Maverick, something's ain't right. Oh, right. You still haven't quite settled in yet. Um, I apologize there, sir. It'll only be a matter of time.
00:31:46
Speaker
You know, these games really are just kind of more for our own entertainment as no one ever seems to win. You know, everybody who's been on this train has tried to win. See. You know, wondering when someone else would come up. That's like all cool of the game. And what's this about? Like the undead? Hey, little man, would you would you mind explaining it to your friend here?
00:32:13
Speaker
Well, what is little bit, no, I sit down thinking, let's play these damn games. You sit down, beat this fool. All right, little guy, just pipsqueak, just settle down. I'm trying to help y'all out here. I mean, wait, I take my hat off. So be playing deal out wherever you're dealing or whatever you're doing here. Come on. All right. Listen, now you understand there, uh, mister, uh, what's your name? Me.
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah, little guy. God damn, my name's Cutter. God ain't got nothing to do with it, dear friend. Either way, my name's Cutter. But you are damned now that you're on this train. You understand that you were alive until you jumped on this train and now you're currently deceased.
00:32:59
Speaker
I know I did not see any signage that was indicating that. If there was, I cannot read it. So I did not know that. That's a little unsettling. But I'm still mad at you, so... Yeah, your body's laying back there somewhere behind the train. You mean I'm just laying somewhere on a road on the train tracks now? Yep. Oh, damn it. You give back a spotty, or I will do violent things to you.
00:33:27
Speaker
Oh, I wish you would. Oh, hey, y'all. Hey, oh, hey, everybody, everybody. And he kind of stands up and you see like as he stands up, he's fucking massive compared to you guys. Like it almost like just from your perspective, you guys feel like you've shrunk probably like.
00:33:43
Speaker
six feet to like practically not existing with like how fucking big this dude is. And he goes, yo, yo, listen, these little dudes think they're going to get violent up in here. And then you're like, you hear just like a cacophony of laughter, like up and down every single train car to the point where it just shakes the car. He says, well, all right, I mean, if.
00:34:03
Speaker
If that's what you want to do, I was going to actually give you a shot. But if he just want me to put you in the ground now for good, I mean, I mean, I mean, I can send you to meet the Reaper for once and for all their Maverick. Hey, cut. I think maybe you shouldn't get right. Yeah, that wasn't my I was going to try and just beat him at cars or whatever. He's going to play here. All right. Let's do that. Pick up sticks or whatever he wants to play. Yeah. I didn't y'all have like another person or two people with you.
00:34:33
Speaker
Oh yeah, she's riding like on the cart. Right. Oh yeah, your body's on the wagon ain't it? No, my body's right here. Don't you see me? And he kind of just, he kind of like pinches the bridge of his nose. He's like, okay. Let's just, I just all sit down. Both of you two sit down and come on. Let's get this game, these games going. How many of we got to play beat you at, feller? Well, you got to.
00:35:03
Speaker
We got five that you can participate in that will test each part of the human strengths or attributes as it were. So you can either go to the game room if you want to play some blackjack. It's high stakes. You could go to the dining car if you want to do some sick shit. You could go to the bar car where they're currently playing a game of boppet.
00:35:32
Speaker
You could go to the party room, but I don't want to spoil what's going on in the party room. That's kind of a surprise. Or you could just play a game of catch. That's also something that's a lot of fun. Maverick, how did you hit? I've been, I've played Bob before myself and I've actually, I think I've been, I've been, I've been, I've invested in that one. So that might be your forte there, Maverick.
00:36:01
Speaker
Do we both need to, like, win these games or just one of us? Uh, I mean, I suppose we can make an exception that if one of y'all wins, then we can give it to your tally. Wish, yeah, you said it was teaming up earlier there, me and him. Uh, what's, uh, hold up. Uh, forgot everything you said.
00:36:25
Speaker
After bopping, I kind of, I kind of blanked out. The first thing you said. There's the game room where you can play high stakes, Blackjack. Oh, yeah. Man, Blackjack, that's me. That's, of all of the chance-based games, that's one of the ones that's hardest to kind of like screw up. Cause you got, you can, you know, you can fold or whatever. You can, wait, can you fold? I ain't played that in a long time. You can fold in poker. I know that. But Blackjack can only do that up enough numbers to make, and that's one of the ways I was learning to do maths.
00:36:54
Speaker
You could also play like Bobbit or like playing catch because those are less luck-based and more like skill-based. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, Maverick. If you got a thick head, you might want to be the one who plays the Bobbit because I've lost a couple of rounds of that in real life. So I might not be best for that one. Maybe let's save it for last. Right. So what's it going to be, friends?
00:37:23
Speaker
How about you go Bobbitt and I go catch? Oh man, I'm really not sure if I'm going to win Bobbitt. I don't know about this young buck here. Well, you got 19, 20 years old. I bet you got pretty hard forehand. Yeah, both have pretty hard foreheads and foreskin. Well, let me tell you, if you guys want to play catch, that one's probably a better one to do on a team as there's a lot of guys you got to catch around the train. It's a test of your
00:37:53
Speaker
of your vigor and agility. So why don't we start with that? Sounds good to me. All right, man. We'll point us away to the catching fellers on the train, I guess. All right. And before we do that, let's cut back to Rin for a second. Rin, hey, what are you doing? You're on a journey. You biteies all fucked up. Biteies freaking out, man. So she's going to first try to un-shake.
00:38:22
Speaker
She's going to pull over. She's going to stop and pull over. Okay. She's going to stop and pull over. Get my parents here. I got a leaky tank and she's going to tell Stan to get out and help her like put something on her tank so that she can not lose all of her steam out of her tank. Hang on. When I'm trying, I'm just.
00:38:48
Speaker
Sorry, I got a I got some pee pee on my pants and a boot mark on my face. So I'm just a little little woozy. He kind of says I need your help. I'm a little hurt. He climbs around. He's like, oh, dang, I had never seen a lady leak so much before. Not that I ain't good with the ladies or nothing, but I mean.
00:39:07
Speaker
What do I do? What do I do? I just need you to take this one part right here on my on my arm just see like how my hand just snaps right off and she like grabs on her right hand that is her robot arm.
00:39:25
Speaker
just like snaps her hand off and she's like and put it like put the like hand part you know where my like my fingers would be you know and wrap it around that tank part right there that has the hole it should poke or like at least plug the hole until I can get back to pump keys
00:39:46
Speaker
Okay, I'll do my best. I'm supposed to do what with the fingers, Dan? His hand is like trembling. He's like holding on. You'll be fine. Don't worry about it. All right, so I'll let you roll a repair first. Oh, you know what? You said you want unshake first. So go ahead and roll unshake and see if you do that.
00:40:10
Speaker
That's a failure. Now, now you can use a Benny. You only have a couple, but you can use a Benny just to automatically unshake if you want. I know, but failing roles are more fun anyway. So I agree. I just want to remind you all that if you do fail a shake, you can use a Benny to just automatically be unshaken. All right. So I hand on the tank.
00:40:32
Speaker
OK, so you you fail for the unshaking and so like you're still kind of wounded. So as you're trying to explain to him all the things that you're doing, like your words aren't all necessarily coming out exactly the way that they're supposed to. So like, just take my hand and and it's flicking on the floor. And he's like, I don't what? And he's all yours like ting, ting, ting, ting, because he's like hitting your your your tank with his hand like a hammer with your hand like a hammer like ting, ting, ting. No, no, no, not like that.
00:41:02
Speaker
No, you got to use the part that is the palm part of my my hand and put it over the hole where you see. OK. Should be a flat part of my hand and then the finger parts and you wrap it around. There's like you see, there's two tanks that are like round cylinder.
00:41:26
Speaker
You're going to wrap those fingers around that cylinder right there and push that palm part up against the hole and then that will keep the hole from leaking. OK, OK, OK. There's too many instructions at once. I'm freaking out. All right. Just all right. You know what? You know what? Just tell me if I'm hot or cold. OK. OK. Go ahead and roll a repair roll like you'll just be
00:41:54
Speaker
Well, I guess you can't. We'll try another spirit roll real quick. Yeah, see if you can unshake over time. Four. That was a well, I mean, I guess technically that will work. Yeah. So you're you're unshaken now. And so like you're starting to yell at him a little bit more and he goes, OK, and then I'll roll a repair roll for me real quick and see if he's able to guide him to do the right thing.
00:42:19
Speaker
15. OK, yeah, like you just once your brains back on, right, you whip them into shape, he gets to get your palm over top of it and pretty much makes your hand clamp down on the. On the on the on the tank hole. She was. Oh, thanks. OK. So are we dead? Am I dead? No, we're not dead. Now get back in the wagon. What are we what are we doing? I mean, there's there's a train as Berlin.
00:42:48
Speaker
And like to that train and you see that the train is like still like while the cart that they were shooting at you from is like just probably a mile and a half away from you by now, there's still more train following behind it. Just the cars seem to never end.
00:43:06
Speaker
They just kind of like keep popping up out of nowhere. They just they just keep forming like out of the ground and they just get like hopping on the track that it was built and just continuing to follow the track. Yeah, that's kind of funny. Just like appears out of the ground. Yeah, it's just like it's just like a little hell train just keeps coming from the underworld and just building itself on land. Yeah.
00:43:27
Speaker
There's a lot of people in hell. She's going to stand back into the wagon and she's going to stay at a regular pace behind the train just far enough so that she can still make it to Dr. Lulu's but not get shot again.
00:43:53
Speaker
Okay. So you're going to try to stay behind the car that keeps building itself at the end, like the new caboose that keeps showing up. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Um, so you just kind of ride a long enough pace. Yeah. Gotcha. All right. So you're on the wagon, making your way towards it. Um, and as you're continuing onward, you hear stand in the back, he goes, so he's just got dad is Maverick Maverick, right? Is he, is he gone? Are we, should I just bury him or?
00:44:21
Speaker
No, I don't think he's dead yet. We got to get to Dr. Lulu fast. I don't know. I've been poking him a bunch and he ain't reacting not even once. That's normal. I put my finger in his mouth and tried to go and he didn't even do it. We're not even one time. That's like his favorite thing though. So you can't really do that because that's not going to cause a reaction anyway.
00:44:44
Speaker
I don't know, it's getting a little uncomfortable being back here with somebody who's all stiff and not moving. Well, I mean, you can sit up here with me, but you better shut up. I don't know. All right, I'm going to come up there because I'm just getting a little uncomfortable back here with this guy. OK. He climbs up there smelling like piss and aloe.
00:45:07
Speaker
as he as he as he sits next to you. That's my very favorite. Yeah, pissing aloe. Yeah. Maybe she's born with it. Maybe he's pissing aloe. So so you guys are trying to keep your distance, but still follow the train as it barrels onward.
00:45:30
Speaker
And as you guys are doing that, you can, Jed's like starting to, or I'm sorry, Stan's starting to shake a little bit. And he's like, you know something? Can I tell you something? I mean, I told you not to talk, but I guess so. I'm still pretty pissed off at what you done did to Jed. Well, I'm still pretty pissed off at what you done did to Ishii. So, you know, you better watch your mouth. And he lunges at you.
00:46:01
Speaker
and tries to grab a hold of you in the reins of the seat. She takes her regular hand and punches him in the face. Well, your other hand is currently clamping onto your tank, right? Mm-hmm. So you only have one hand? Yep. You have to take your hand off the reins so you can fight him. No, she's holding onto him while she punches him. She has enough slack. You're going to try to...
00:46:28
Speaker
Oh, you're holding on to the reins and you're trying to punch him while you hook the reins. I see you're saying. Yeah. You know what? Let's just have you roll a fighting role against this guy. He's going to do the same to you. And we're just going to see how that rolls. OK. He rolled an 11. I got a three.
00:46:50
Speaker
Yeah, so he leaps into you and because your hand is clamped to your back you like you have a disadvantage in this fight And he you guys barrel off of the wagon like your arm gets hooked for a minute
00:47:04
Speaker
on uh on the reins of bitey so you kind of jerk him upwards a little bit and then your arm kind of gets stuck for a second and you're being dragged alongside of your wagon as bitey's like running in circles at this point with the wagon the wagon's starting to like rickety and like the wheels are starting to like kind of bump up and down and uh stand is currently hanging off of you and just slugging you uh while your arm is stuck in the reins um she's i'm just
00:47:28
Speaker
And he only hits you for five so he's not doing a lot a significant amount of damage to punch you But like you're now dangling off of the side of your wagon as bitey is running you in circles Okay, so she's gonna take her legs and she's gonna try to like basically
00:47:45
Speaker
Uh, like in a wrestler's move where they like, um, almost kind of spin their body and not like, I'm not going to spin my body, but well, I guess I could cause I'm part Andre. So yeah. So, um, my bottom half is going to spin and I'm going to grab onto him with my legs, like his, his body and like, try to like grapple him down. Um, so that he's not like face to face with me.
00:48:13
Speaker
All right, let's try to make this into an athletics competition. So he's going to roll his and you roll yours and we'll see what happens. Like God is night. He rolled. No, he rolled a three. He's not a wild card. Oh, that's right. I forget about the wild. I know this guy is in particular is in a wild card. So he rolled the three. So you're flipping them around essentially with your legs. So he's facing away from you. Yeah, I'm basically putting it to where like
00:48:42
Speaker
She has her legs wrapped around his torso and her feet are at his face Like basically like putting her heel up against his chin. Oh I see gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. He's like come on. Just let go I you know what you took my best friend away from me Don't care
00:49:07
Speaker
You see like as like you're pushing your foot up against his chin. He's kind of bouncing off the dirt here and there like like as he's like he's slipping away from you. He's reaching into his pocket and he pulls out a blade and he's going to he's trying to knife you with it. What do you do? She's going to kick him in the face. Right in the jaw. All right. A fight versus a fight role. Go.
00:49:30
Speaker
When he rolled another three, he rolled the same thing, though. Three and a half. Seven. Go ahead and roll your unarmed damage for your fighting roll. Okay. If you don't, I'm sure you have. One of that is probably just your strength. Yeah, I think it's strength plus 1d4. It might just be strength. Yeah, that's probably what it is. So, seven.
00:49:50
Speaker
Seven. That's enough to kind of daze him. And he just rolls off of the wagon, rolls off of your body and just kind of rolls away from you like like as like bitey's running in circles. So he's like he dips out the way just in time for bitey runs him over. But like you can see him like as like you're kind of just spinning in circles now, the wagon starting to tip over a little bit. So you don't you have a very small finite amount of time before like the whole wagon just goes complete. What do you do? Did you say he's knocked out?
00:50:19
Speaker
Uh, he's dazed. You, you, you, uh, you dazed him. So like he fell off of you and he's just currently laying in the dirt, like probably like 15, 20 feet back. Okay. She's going to try to, um, get by these brains. You're dangling off of his face. Essentially. He's the only thing keeping you up. Yeah. Yeah. She's going to try. She's just going to yell bitey ho.
00:50:45
Speaker
Who are you calling a hoe? You, bitch. You know what, let's call that a... I don't want to call it a persuasion roll, but I think that's probably what it is, because you're not technically riding at this point. You're yelling at him. So, go ahead and roll a persuasion roll. And I'm going to give it at a minus one because you're like, you're still a lot of noise. Well, you rolled a zero. Zero. I fucking critical failed, man. Well, she's...
00:51:12
Speaker
Well, you didn't go down with the wagon, guys. It was nice to meet you all. He just keels over like he just can't like hold that weight anymore from the bit that's in his mouth. And he just kind of like continues to like compensate by leaning more inward so that way he doesn't get hurt. And that pulls the wagon inward. And before you know it, bitey falls. The wagon tips over. Aloe spills everywhere.
00:51:38
Speaker
Uh, and yeah, this is going to, it's going to hurt a lot because like all this shit's pretty much falling around and on top of you. Um, after all that momentum, body was running in. Um, so yeah, why don't we say we'll just call it America's first car crash guys, 22 damage of, um, yeah, that's a lot. Um,
00:52:02
Speaker
So now what you can do if you don't want to take that damage is you can roll to absorb that damage with a soak roll. Yes. So you just you roll a spirit roll or is it a it's a bigger roll. Sorry. I think it's a bigger roll, actually. Or is it spirit? I can't remember now, guys. Been a while since we've done this. But how's that? So button, it'll do it for you.
00:52:23
Speaker
I'll do a seven. I'll do it for you. So you're able to soak one of the wounds that it would cause to you. So we'll go to your wounds. So you have how much vigor or how much toughness? Thirteen. Thirteen. So thirteen plus four is seventeen plus four is twenty one. So you only get two more wounds instead of one more wound added to you. I know actually it would be three because
00:52:54
Speaker
You're, you're, oh no, you're not shaking anymore. So no, nevermind. I take it back. So it'll only be two wounds and a shake versus three wounds and a shake.
00:53:02
Speaker
So that's where you're at. You took a lot. Everything fell on top of you. The horse fell on top of you. The wagon fell on top of you. Yeah. And actually, it kind of worked out that you forgot about the penalty from the first shot with the guys, because I forgot that I also had steady hands, which requires me from getting to be able to fire from the back of a horse or a moving vehicle without any penalties.
00:53:27
Speaker
Perfect. Well, there we go. It all worked out in the wash. It all worked out in the wash. Sorry, I forgot about that. So Ren is currently laying. I think you have more wounds available than the average person. So I think you're still probably conscious. Yeah, mostly. I recall. Kind of. Yeah, you're just really, really, really, really hurt.
00:53:47
Speaker
So, yeah, like your your body's pretty busted up. You have probably some sort of sprain somewhere and you're just laying under a pile of rubble. Yeah, the camera might be broken. It's hard to say. You're laying under a pile of horrible.
00:54:01
Speaker
So while while Ren lays and thinks about her choices in life, let's go back to the train. Go. I will say that before we get back in the ghost train, like as you're laying there, like in a pile, you can kind of hear footsteps making their way towards you, just kind of like hobbled footsteps like chachachachach. You're the guy where she had. So think about your next move as we go to the ghost train.
00:54:30
Speaker
Cutter, Maverick, you're on the ghost train! What are you doing? Were you playing Blackjack? Is that what you wanted to do? No, I would play catch. You're gonna go play catch. Alright, the guy kinda sitting there with the white hat on the table, he says, well alright, well, here's how it goes. You're not allowed to use any of your weaponry, so no guns allowed. And you gotta go catch all these little miscreants that are running around the train.
00:54:57
Speaker
Uh, and when you catch them all. Define miscreants. Oh, trust me. You'll, um, you'll, you'll, uh, you'll know them when you see them. I promise. Um, so just, just go a looking and you'll find them. And once you catch them and you knock them out, you bring them back here. Actually, you don't need to bring back, just knock them out. No, that'll be fine. Just, just kick their ass. Okay. Then that counts as you win. Pretty easy, right?
00:55:26
Speaker
Are they like marked or something? So would that be like no for sure which people don't know? No, you'll know. Just trust me there, friend. Just go back on through the door, Yonder, and you'll see. Okay. Let's just try and do your thing. All right. Put my hat back on. Have fun, Pipsqueak. Nice. Let's go, Maverick. Let's go.
00:55:52
Speaker
As you walk through the door, you can see that there is all sorts of a fuss going on in this room, like, oh, God, what is going on? And you can see probably about maybe maybe four and a half, five feet tall. Like they're I mean, they're not they're shorter than the average, Joe. But you see like these kind of bipedal critters. One of them is pink. One of them is blue. And one of them is orange. And they look kind of humanoid, but they're very kind of squiggly looking.
00:56:20
Speaker
Um, they got little horns like bent out the back of their head. They got bright white eyeballs. Uh, and they're just wearing like kind of little like shitty get up cowboy outfits. Um, and you just hear, Oh shit. And then I'll just bolt like down through the train. One of them goes out the window and climbs up the side of the train. And another one just runs further back to the end of the train. Hey, um, you go down the hallway. I claim up the train.
00:56:47
Speaker
All right, be careful Maverick. Hey, you reckon he said no weaponry, but remember when we caught that chicken, I got my lasso still. I mean, I don't think a lasso is considered a weapon, so I think that's fine. No, it's a tool. It's a tool. All right, I'm going to go get that feller. Who's the first thing? One ran on top of the building, on top of the train, one ran just further down the train. What did the first guy do? He also ran back to the end of the train. He's running towards the back side of the train, so two of them went straight back and one of them went out the window.
00:57:15
Speaker
Uh, the, the pink one went out the window and up, up the train to the top of the train. All right. I'll get them two back in the back. Maverick careful up there. All right. All right. So Maverick, you're climbing, you're going to climb out the window. Yes. It's a bit of a squeeze, but you could probably make it on Maverick.
00:57:35
Speaker
There's usually a ladder on the side of the train by the entrance, right? Yeah, usually by some of the connected cars you can do that too, yeah. Then I want to see if there's a ladder, because it's a safer way to go up there. It sure is, I was going to say. If you're going out the window, that'll be a fun one. So you go out, you find the ladder. Yeah, you climb the ladder. Yeah. Nice.
00:57:58
Speaker
And you can see, you can see as you climb up, there's like, which one did I say come up the pink one? You see like a pink ass in your face as it's bent over and slapping its ass in front of you, and then it runs further down the train. I don't have a lasso, so I'll just try to run after it and catch it. Right. So let's have this be an athletics off to see, or yeah, well, yeah, athletics. Let's call it athletics, guys. Let's just do that.
00:58:26
Speaker
That's a 15. That's a 15. Holy balls. What this guy get? He got a 16. He beat you. It's not a wild card. He is a wild card. That's stupid. These guys are wild cards. That's dumb.
00:58:45
Speaker
Yeah, I'm sorry, man. You're dealing with the denizens of the dead. Some of them are pretty hearty. And so you guys are neck and neck, because you're just like one pube away from each other. So you just keep in pace with this little dude as he's running like, I'm going to get to the last. And he turns around and he whips a fireball at you, Maverick. What do you do? Dodge. You dodge? Dodge. Roll an agility roll. Go. Hurry, before it's too late.
00:59:11
Speaker
Seven. That's a seven. Oh no. I'm going to have him do a shooting roll. He misses. Wow. You did it. What do you do? I distracted throwing a fireball. Ah, geez. I'm distracted throwing a fireball. So you, you are able to get up to him. What do you do? I go and punch him in the face. So I knock him out.
00:59:41
Speaker
Roll a fighting roll. It's gonna be a tough one 16 back. It's not a tough one If you you punch them right the fuck out black and he's done
00:59:58
Speaker
Wow, I thought that would be harder, but you're real high. That's young Maverick. He's like not to choke with. Yeah, I haven't given these guys a bunch of wounds to knock him out because that would take too long. So he's still kind of, they're kind of a blend of a wild card and a piss boy. For sake of brevity. Okay, so you knocked that guy out and then he just fades in. He just kind of turns into a little lava pool and then disappears. Nice. Cutter. What? Yes, Maverick.
01:00:26
Speaker
then I'll try and go down the ladder again so I can train up with Cutter. OK, you do that. That was cool, I guess. Cutter, you're chasing after a guy. Two guys, the blue one and the orange one. All right, come on out, you little fellers. And then the blue one jumps out and sticks a pie in your face, splat. You son of a... I swing. Yes, you're tiny.
01:00:56
Speaker
Uh, you said you swing at him? Yeah. Alright, uh, roll a, roll a fighting throw on a minus one, cause you got pie in your face. Oh, jeez, Louisa, I got such high dice, and I rolled so shittily. Uh, and he pushes you in the ass and you fall into like, um, like somebody, some other people's seats, and there's like a couple there to just sit there and you fall in there laughing to go, oh hi, would you care for some tea?
01:01:20
Speaker
I take their teacup and I try and smash it on top of the thing's head. Okay, I think that's a shocking twist. I don't think he was expecting that. So go ahead and roll a fighting roll with a plus one this time. Take it, you little punk ass. A six then with my plus one to my five. Oh, that hits his parry. Roll a damage roll. I never had cut or maverick roll his damage for that roll. I just realized that. Whoops. Do I get the 11 or I get the seven? Just probably seven.
01:01:50
Speaker
Get why is that your that's your damage? I wrote straight. So I'm just punching. Yeah. Oh, it would be your seven. Yeah, you punch them out. Oh, that shook me a little out with the glass. Oh, I'm shaking, I think.
01:02:07
Speaker
I want to try and rope him real quick too while he's glassed. All right, go ahead and try to rope him. Screw you little son of a bitch. And by that I don't mean I'm going to throw it at him. I mean, since I'm like right beside him, I'm just going to try and grab him. Right. Now I understand. You're just going to try to wrap him real quick. So what do we do? All right. Let's call that a survival role.
01:02:24
Speaker
Survive with your life survive in the wild for all right. I'm gonna have him He's gonna be trying to like wiggle free actually I can't I'm just gonna see if he can unshake first He does unshake, but while he's getting his bearings you already got the rope kind of around him So I was trying to fight you while you got the rope on him. Yeah, you got pie on your face. You're stupid You're sure you're done your girlfriend doesn't like you
01:02:48
Speaker
Don't you keep her name out of your mouth. I put you in the face. Just a straight. Oh, that's a hit. Go ahead and roll your damage again. That's a, that's a hit. If I'd ever seen it, don't you take back his name five. Uh, you punch off it and like, you just see it like a little Nick on your, on your knuckle from punching them. Cause you hit him on his little glass part of his jaw. And he goes, your girlfriend's going to have to bath that clean in hell.
01:03:16
Speaker
He said, I'm going to try, I'm just going to try and just, uh, grab the one with the rope and get them all twisted and tied up. Uh, while you're doing that, he tries to bite you with a biting attack. He rolls a critical fail. I've seen that before. I've been around a horse's name is buddy. You little son of a bitch. Ah, you know, bitey. That horse is metal.
01:03:42
Speaker
Yeah, whatever. I don't give a shit. I hate you. Quiet and get all roped up now, you little turd. All right. You, you wrap him up and then he disappears. It turns into a little pool of lava. Well, hopefully that was meant to happen. I say, I say to the people who I'm kind of still in their, in their seat area. Oh yeah. Pretty sure that means you've caught him. Oh good. All right. Hey, sorry about your teacup bear. Oh, it's all right. I can't taste anyway. All right. Uh, where's this next? You guys seen, uh, what was that blue?
01:04:09
Speaker
Another girl was the one that just hit you the orange ones when you're looking for hey you get a few fellers see a little orange creepy little looking dude with a Child's cowboy outfit on yep, which way to go he's up there
01:04:24
Speaker
Where are they indicating? They point upwards on the ceiling and you see he's like sticking to it like with his big white eyeballs like spider-man eyeballs like oh shit. Can I jump up and punch him right in the gut? You're not punching him in the gut. Alright, roll a fighting roll. This one's gonna be at a minus one because you're trying to jump. Oh you still hit him with a 10. Go ahead and roll your damage. See if you can knock him out before he can get away. Get punched in the gut. Only on a three.
01:04:52
Speaker
So you punch me guess and then he crawls out the window and climbs up on the train Okay, where you get an agility roll see if you can squeeze through and climb your way up
01:05:12
Speaker
Come on, baby, nine. Niner. Yeah, you squeeze. I mean, fucking tiny cutter, skinny cutter easily pulls the winds kind of busting through your hair. Your hat goes flying off. Oh, shit. Good thing I'm dead. And my hat's somewhere with my body. So hopefully my body. Damn it. And then you see that there's you see the orange guys up there and he goes, huh, didn't think you could fit through there.
01:05:41
Speaker
Shut up, you son of a bitch. I run at him. He starts running down the train and hops over Maverick. His Maverick's climbing down to go after you. How'd you get? What are you doing there? That's what I was laughing and asking you guys. I thought we were running backwards. All of them are confused. Come here, you son of a bitch. I'm going to get you. I try and close the gap with him.
01:06:05
Speaker
What do you do? Athletic Checo, hurry! Well, I failed. I do have Benny's, I want to see what happens. Well, you can't roll a Benny on a crit fail. Oh, she has right. Yeah.
01:06:20
Speaker
He rolls a three, so he doesn't do much better as he's running. Like, you trip and fall over your own rope, like, that's kind of sticking out from your belt that you were using to tie up the other feller. Ah, shit. For now. And then, so Maverick, you're going to try to go after him. The cutter's on the... Well, he's not on the ground, but he's laying down on the top of the train. What do you do? I... Maverino. Chase after the little shit. Okay, athletics roll for you, too.
01:06:51
Speaker
That's a six. The six. I want to roll another one for him. He rolls a five. So you guys are kind of he's still a little bit ahead of you because you got to run a running start from you, a head start. But you're catching up. Do you run past cutter? I'll try to help cut up. OK, so you got time for sleeping. You need to catch this little shit. He's trying to trip me up. He's throwing. I'm covering pie. Why?
01:07:21
Speaker
I'm covered in pie Don't worry about it get this little sucker. Okay, that's got him All right, and then you see the orange guy he turns you guys are chasing him He jumps over to another train car and then he like unzips his body and then out jumps another orange one and a red one that are like probably Three and a half feet tall and they both have guns and they start shooting at you today, right?
01:07:46
Speaker
That's unfair. Hey, maverick, he said we couldn't shoot no copies or shooting us. I put my gun out. Bang. As you go to shoot, just like smoke comes out, but no bullet does. This thing sucks. I whip it off the tree. I feel like throwing it at them. I'm not fair. Roll it roll it into a fuck. What would I call that? Let's just call that a
01:08:14
Speaker
The shooting roll. I think there's mention of throwing somewhere, but I can't remember. That's not like, so just go on athletics, because you're throwing something. I think that's what I fell under. Seven. Seven. Yeah, you bumped him right in the fucking head. Ah! Which one you hit, the orange one or the red one? I guess either one of the ones was a gun. They both have guns. Orange one, you hit him in the head. Ah! He drops his gun and holds onto his forehead. Eee! Eee! Never. I watched Kakan do the same. You throw your gun? Yes.
01:08:43
Speaker
That's what they're good for! Yeah! You have a rifle, right? Are you throwing your rifle? I don't have a rifle right now. I only have like a revolver. Oh, you don't have your rifle? Does Young Maverick not have a rifle? Young Maverick doesn't have a rifle yet, no. Oh, okay. I thought it'd be funny just imagining a guy just like, oh, do what he does and he throws a big-ass fucking rifle. So you throw your gun. Do an athletics roll to see if you hit him.
01:09:05
Speaker
I ain't roll a penny. You roll a penny because you roll the two. Okay, go ahead and roll a Benjamin and see what happens. That's a five. That's a five. You know what? It doesn't hurt him, but it hits him. He goes, ah, oh, that wasn't too bad. Oh, now I have your gun, idiot. And he shoots at you, Maverick. Shooting style. No, no. The gun. He rolls a six to hit you. That hits Maverick. That does hit.
01:09:34
Speaker
I know. It is Maverick. But how much damage does it do? Holy shit. 31 damage. It's rolled on today, guys. Would you like to do a soak roll by chance? I think you still have a Benny left to do that. I do. I actually have two bennies left. Oh, you had three bennies? Yes, because I have the luck feet edge. All right, cool. All right, we have three bennies, so you can...
01:10:05
Speaker
You can do that now. You can you can roll a soak roll and then see if you like it or you can do it again, but you can't stack so girls. So do your first soak roll and see how it goes. That's a six. So a six would absorb one wound. What you have some math. So what's your toughness? My toughness is 12. Your toughness is 12. And so just add four.
01:10:33
Speaker
past that. So that's 16. So the 12 is to hurt you. And then 16 is to wound you.
Maverick's Injury and Recovery Effort
01:10:40
Speaker
And 16 is to you. 24 is to wound you. So this is enough to kill you. Unless you. So unless you roll higher on a soak, like it might be better just to spend another Benny and see if you can roll higher. Because either way, you're down for an account, my friend. That's a nine. Not much better. Do you want to go for one more?
01:11:04
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, my God. We're all dead, ladies and gentlemen. Maverick gets a fucking comedically large hole blown in his body. Actually, you know what? You tell me you're not now. I will tell you, you're not dead yet because there are death rules that we did not know before that I need to go back and refresh myself with. But tell me where you think you got shot and what that looks like, Maverick.
01:11:34
Speaker
I think that I also like the idea of just being like a big hole. Just like a giant fucking hole in your body. And I say I can feel the coldness. And he drops down on his back as the train continue barreling forward. Cutter, your friend just got dropped. There's one dude is holding onto his head and the
01:12:03
Speaker
The red one just shot your friend and he's got a giant hole in his body. What do you do? I guess I'm going to run over there and just try and kick the the main the original orange guy off the train. Hope that solves everything for me.
01:12:22
Speaker
All right, go ahead and just like he's incapacitated. Well, he's dazed right now. So and the red one's in the middle of shooting at Maverick. So you could probably run through the halo bullets as you shoot at him and then go and go and are you body checking them or you kick in or you're punching? I literally want to do like there's a kick to the shorter. I just want to kick him in the chin and set him hopefully flying. Give him some sweet chin music. Yeah.
01:12:44
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll 14. Oh Shit, that's a 14 roll your damage if you roll high enough this guy's going by buys Come on, and that's all I get the bonus damage because of the because you a above his thing
01:13:00
Speaker
Do I add the extra the three? I like it. OK. Yeah, you add the three as well. OK. That's your day. Or you can. Yeah. Yeah. So that's eight. That is enough to bypass his extra damage and you daze him enough that he falls off the train. And he just disappears as he gets dragged behind. And the red one goes, oh, man, he was my ride.
01:13:25
Speaker
Um, and then he just turns into a puddle of, uh, lava and then seeps into the train as well. Oh, damn. Oh, dang, man. I remember. Um, Maverick. Okay. So, um, you must make a vigor roll and you must do it with the maximum amount of damn, uh, wounds that you have, which is a minus three. Mm-hmm. Uh, and depending on what your role is, that will determine your fate.
01:13:56
Speaker
That's a five. Is that with the minuses? That is, because you can add the wounds on your character sheet. So that does it for you. So that's a five minus three. So that is a two. So a failure, you must roll on the injury table and the injury is permanent and the character is now bleeding out. So roll two D sixes. And I'll tell you what happened to you. Even though you have a giant hole in you, maybe it went somewhere else. We'll see.
01:14:24
Speaker
It's an eight. That's an eight. Oh, well, it's appropriate. This is under guts. The wound is in your guts character. Your character catches one on the core. That's appropriate. All right. So roll one more D6 and we'll see how this affects you. And then we'll go to the bleeding out stage. You rolled a three. You are battered. Your vigor is reduced by one dye type. Oh, no. Yes. As you have a giant hole in your gut.
01:14:54
Speaker
That's not good. Yeah. Now, Cutter, you could try at this point to try to stabilize him, but if you fail the roll, you'll kill him. Oh, hey, old maverick. I can't lose you again. So you can roll a healing roll on him. I learned from my mistakes before, though. I pull out, hopefully I saw all my things, I pull out like a clean rag I kept. So I learned how to, I've learned not to put dirty things on the deal.
01:15:24
Speaker
I like to put dirty things on people. We'll try healing our old seven. That's a seven. Let me see Other characters of victims bleeding and make the healing roll. This is hopefully the same It's been real a few No, Mary is miss good speed continue to be real. I
01:15:50
Speaker
It can tell you I got to put some padding in there as big as it's a big hole. I don't want to scare you, Maverick, but it's there's a. Oh, geez. All right. So with the healing you have removed like as you're continuing to keep the pressure on him and try to help him that can remove one wound from him, which I will allow him to make another role to try to. Grass back at life, otherwise he'll be back to bleeding out still.
01:16:19
Speaker
you haven't done a good enough job if he fails it again so roll another uh vigor roll maverick this time with a minus two instead of a minus three because cutter is currently healing you he's trying to keep keep your wounds closed the best that's not a good role it is not a good role my friend um i'm not going to have you roll on the injury table again because you already have it
01:16:43
Speaker
Uh, Cutter, would you like to try to roll one more? I'd say that you probably have time to do one more before he has to see if he's gonna die.
01:16:50
Speaker
OK, I'll try another healing. But if you I've rolled a five, that is a five. A five is a success. You know what? You know what? Let's really get where I'm going to do a Benny. See how I can get better. Oh, I'm going to save them to save Maverick's life with this eight. Oh, you got a raise. You have you have managed to stabilize him to a point where you.
01:17:18
Speaker
You have no, your wounds are still technically there because you have a giant hole in you, but they are not going to count against your, your roles right now. Uh, but you are permanently injured. You have your vigor roll, your, what I say your vigor dice reduced by one, um, uh, by one dye type.
01:17:37
Speaker
But that cutter, the miracle baby has has found a way to close your wounds enough that you're you're I know how to explain it, that your spectral body is now starting to to to close all the main wounds in there.
01:17:53
Speaker
And now you just have a bullet that's stuck inside of your now healing body. You know how I imagine
Aftermath and Regrouping
01:17:58
Speaker
this? What? He's just there and he's like trying to collect like all the active plaster from around like the roof of the train, like tries to like put it back in my body. Yeah. He's just scooping it back in. It's like when you it's like it's like it's like instead of scooping out the seeds of a pumpkin, you're putting the seeds back in the pumpkin. He's like, here you go. Here you go. Let's just fill you back up.
01:18:20
Speaker
Well, so cutter, your hands are covered with spectral spectral blood, but you guys have now succeeded and you are poofed back to the main cart or a maverick. You have a bullet just inside of you now as like the wounds are healing around you. And do I fall unconscious or am I like somewhat all right?
01:18:43
Speaker
You know what? Because you're on the death train, it's a little different. Otherwise, you would still be unconscious, but you're on the ghost train, so you're all right enough. Cutter has saved your afterlife. Cutter, you have saved my life. Cutter is kind of standing there like, with his mouth wide open, he's like, speechless. How could I ever repay this debt? We just got to get the hell out of here, Maverick, so you don't die for real.
01:19:14
Speaker
That's a good way to repay that deal. Okay. So we have Rin laying in a pile of wreckage with, um, assumedly, uh, an angry Stan making his way towards her. We have
Episode Wrap-Up and Audience Engagement
01:19:31
Speaker
Cutter and Maverick who just had a hellish chase against some miscreants on the doom train.
01:19:38
Speaker
And now you guys are back in the cart and we see as the train is about to collide with Doo Dad. Tune in next time on the Phony Express. More people die. Yeah, everybody's fucked up a little bit. All right, cool. So good job, guys. I'm OK. Yeah, cutters. That's true. Cutters. This is the first time cutters like I'm fine.
01:20:05

01:23:46
Speaker
Yeah, but right now she's just a little mangled. But seriously, thank you guys for doing that. Does anybody want to do a question today or a German word or whatever? We haven't done that in a little bit. We haven't done it. I have one ready.
01:23:58
Speaker
All right, I'll give you 30 seconds to find one. And in the meantime, guys, Danny guarantee you've heard him on the show before as Frankie, the unicorn. He and I revived my old show. That's our cue where we answer questions just like we do at the end of these episodes. But the whole the whole show is doing that.
01:24:17
Speaker
And we have guests on and they'll be releasing very soon. But in the meantime, you can go listen to the older episodes with me and Josh. Just look for TOQ or that's our queue and it's that's our and then the letter Q and you'll see like a little light bulb. That's us. There's seven episodes up right now and we've gotten so much traction that I was like, fuck, we need to revive the show. So Danny and I revived it and there'll be new episodes releasing, I think.
01:24:42
Speaker
Tuesday mornings or Wednesday mornings? I can't remember yet. Probably same time as these guys. So if you like that kind of thing, we have some episodes coming out that Cass did a guest spot on that will be coming out in the coming weeks. And then Danny and I talk about like what happens if you had to shit out a container filled with the hundred dollar bills. So come listen for those episodes. You know, so yeah. So anyway, you got one, Cass? Yes. What do you got?
01:25:11
Speaker
Does looking at a picture of the sun hurt your eyes? Yes, I think you're repeating. I think we didn't already. I never did this one. I know I didn't. Have a good day, everybody.
01:26:28
Speaker
Does it look good already?
