Speaker: Hello everyone, and welcome to A Path Through Time. My name is Dakota, your PM, your GM, your GM. And sitting to my left is somebody who accidentally put the wrong oil in their car this morning.
Speaker: Ooh, yeah, it wasn't great. Luckily, nothing caught fire, but gotta get it cleaned out. It'll be fine. Happy UI.
Speaker: don't Don't worry, don't don't think too hard about it. What happens if you do put the wrong oil in? So I say wrong oil, I don't mean wrong viscosity. Right next to me, the reason I said that I have a liter of motorcycle oil.
Speaker: What would happen if you put that in your car? Your truck would break down.
Speaker: I don't know. Because it's not like putting gas in, like it still lubricates. I'm very curious about that now, actually.
Speaker: Well, sitting across from but not directly across... He said like 11 o'clock for some reason aye is someone who is slightly confused as to why there's not a person here.
Speaker: I swear was someone here. I can't remember who they are, but I mean deja vu like we have another player. Man, I got hit a hard heart then. I can't remember their name. Yeah.
Speaker: Currently, Evelyn is on vacation, so we are doing a bit of a special episode, if you could tell from the title. um However, Don't be um dissuaded, this is going to be a major plot point episode, assuming everything goes well.
Speaker: So, this time will be following the adventures of Selina, Abyss, and Brie, who are back at the Flameback Residence while the main crew is out doing their thing.
Speaker: So, we're going to be, this is going to take place um the day after you guys left, I think. I don't remember how long you guys have been out of out of the Flameback Resonance. It's been two days, right?
Speaker: I think this is the third day. we We've been out for three days. we just started the third day. Okay, as long as it's not past the as long as it's not in the future, that's all I'm worried about. so I'll say a day after, because you stayed at... ah Bruce stayed at the Flameback Residence for a full day, so I'm going to say it's the day after that, because Bruce got COVID, remember?
Speaker: Oh, right, I forgot about that. Yeah, so I'm going to say it's the day after you left. so Yeah, like that. Okay, um, right. Well, we don't have a recap for you guys this time because there's no recapping to do.
Speaker: Um, Jake, why don't you give us a random move? Hold you want a recap, go back to the episode where eli had at COVID. Bruce had COVID. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. I never had COVID. Bruce apparently had COVID and recovered remarkably quickly from it. and then I don't know. I've never actually had COVID before. so And then leave a comment saying, get better, Bruce.
Speaker: yes Get well soon. Anyway, let's flamethrower on Flamethrower, let us flamethrower on in. Okay, so, um I also realized I forgot to mention who's playing who.
Speaker: So, um we have established that Jake here is playing Abyss. jobb book What's your name? Eli? Yes, your name is Eli. Eli here is playing Bree.
Speaker: And I took the last pickings and I'm taking Selina. So, go figure. um So, you guys are um at the mission board. And you guys have just picked up a mission.
Speaker: Um, the mission you guys have just picked up is as follows. Help! A runaway trolley! Many people on the road. Please send help. And the reward is 2,000. Okay. Do we have trolls in this universe?
Speaker: I guess so.
Speaker: This technology is just like actual anime technology where you have phones but don't have You guys have trains. You guys have trains. guys have bullet trains and stuff. They have trains in the Midwest too, but not trolleys. um Actually, I don't know. Isn't there a trolley in D.C.?
Speaker: i know I'm talking about Midwest like the when it was Western. When it was actually old time Western. oh ah well i think the technology is supposed it it not a scratch was supposed to be based on nineteen twenty s But uh, yeah, trolleyes are just road trains.
Speaker: Anyway, there's a real trolley problem out in uh... Oh god, Gale Beach. Fuck, I forgot the city you guys are in.
Speaker: Okay. Uh, it was submitted by an Audino.
Speaker: Oh, I should probably give you guys' location. Um, the location is... Fuck. I don't know. I'm going to say next to the school, there's a trolley that drops kids off at the school.
Speaker: So the trolley line goes there. There's a trolley instead of a school bus. Why not? So and instead of getting the police to take care of this runaway thing, which is still running away, which means this thing's been going on for multiple days, they want they're hoping on a random guy like us to stop it, but not city officials stopping it.
Speaker: I forgot the fact that missions can sit for up to a week. So how long has this trolley been going out of control in a school zone? Well... How many kids have died?
Speaker: this trolley's been speeding down this school zone for eight days, or five days, or whatever. this thing have a nickname? The Demon Trolley? Is that its nickname now?
Speaker: That's what the kids call it. If you hear the ring of the trolley, you know your time's up.
Speaker: Okay. So, it is, yeah, I'm just going arbitrarily say it's next to this school. It's like a throwaway location. You guys can do without what you want. There's still the fact that they want us and not the police to do it.
Speaker: so Well, you guys continue to do it. Technically. We're gonna go Maybe get some trustworthy around or something.
Speaker: Oh no. Okay. Man.
Speaker: Okay. What's the reward on this? It is 2,000 poke. So there'll be 1,000 for each of you. Man, this must be a poor school. Technically, no, only 2,000 because Bree's taking the money to store in a bank. So it'll be 2,000 towards your guys' bank.
Speaker: This must be a public school.
Speaker: Oh jeez. Jesus. Man, we're getting political in here. So, uh... Alright, that's cool.
Speaker: Okay, so you guys start heading down to the, uh, the school. And on the way, I want to, uh, what if you guys throw me a perception check?
Speaker: Doesn't matter who. You got this, Eli. don't have my dice out yet. Got it. That's beauty.
Speaker: 15 plus 2, 17. So as you're walking along, um you notice that honestly you feel kind of dizzy. It's really weird. And you don't like notice anything really out of the ordinary, but you feel kind of dizzy.
Speaker: Hmm. Yeah. So you guys continue on. and eventually... Selina, you feeling kinda dizzy?
Speaker: is it just me?
Speaker: So he like sniffs the air. Uh, no, not really. I feel fine. Everything seems fine. You feeling alright? You need to head back?
Speaker: don't think I need to head back. But there's definitely something going on here. and just got weird dizzy spell. Okay, well let me know if it gets any worse and we'll send you back to the house.
Speaker: We'll be fine.
Speaker: So, she doesn't seem too bothered by this. And as you guys continue towards the school, eventually you guys come to a real bad trolley problem.
Speaker: and in front of you guys you see you see a trolley with two diverging tracks and the trolley's heading down the track can i just out question i to point this out um she checks on the um They check- she checked on Bri, but after that she doesn't check on her boyfriend to see if she's good.
Speaker: Man, she really is an awful ah partner. She's also cheating on him too. Well, hold on. Oh yeah, wait, I forgot. I guess Abyss and Selina kind of are- Are they dating?
Speaker: Who was that? That was the whole point. That was why he got an updo when I said something like that. Yeah, that's true. So anyway, in front of you guys, you guys see a speeding trolley going down the school zone. It's going 21 miles an hour. It's speeding.
Speaker: And um there are two diverging tracks. On one track is five Pokemon laid out on the track. And on the other track is also five Pokemon.
Speaker: However, if you flip the lever that is so con conveniently placed in front of you, it'll switch tracks and it'll do a sick loop-de-loop. why so Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. there's ten Pokey on one track and then a loop-de-loop on the other?
Speaker: nope. No, there's five Pokemon on each track. The only decision you guys are making is either it will continue it on straight or it's gonna do a really sick loop-de-loop. What?
Speaker: Wait, so is the loop-de-loop before the people or is it after the people? It's after the people. Tell us the Pokemon on each side.
Speaker: Oh, that's a good question. Let me pull up a random one. I want to know who's worth more to society.
Speaker: Whoa. Whoa there. Okay. Jesus, we're being so political on this episode. It's not even that. because's much the more The point I like the most is going to survive this. my Okay.
Speaker: and Okay, I'm glad no legend shows up on this one. Whoever has a Mr. Mimer on this side, they're fucked. Uh... Okay, so on the first track is a Vibrava, a Bibarel, a Palma, and an Aeriodos.
Speaker: Okay. On the second track is...
Speaker: Squawkabilly, Drizzau, a a Zubat, and a Sizzlipede. I wanna know what they're doing on these tracks in the first place.
Speaker: Are they tied up? don't know why there's two bad virgin tracks in front of a school anyways, but uh... Hey, Selina, you think you could stop that trolley with some, like, ice-type move or something?
Speaker: I don't have her move set, because I've failed characters to get deleted. I know they have... Use your ice beam to freeze the rails and it'll off-rail itself.
Speaker: ah Yeah, she runs forward and tries to do basically exactly that. So you see her like trying to breathe ice on the tracks, and as the trolley hits it, it slows down slightly, but it just bumps around and continues on its way, shattering the ice that was in its path.
Speaker: Alright, let's see. let's see What do we do? It is now going 19 miles an hour. Scary. Use Shadow Ball at me and hit the connector that's connecting to the wire.
Speaker: I was thinking what if we use psychic on the trolley to slow it down and start making it go backwards. You know, your logic is logicking right now.
Speaker: You know, you can try. um' i'm not I'm not used to using it on intimate objects, just actual people.
Speaker: Did you just say? I think you meant an intimate object. An intimate object. Oh no, know what I just said. No. God. Someone quote that.
Speaker: I'm done. I'm done. Come on. Come Someone quote that. Holy shit. I'm only used to using our intimate object. i'm not used to using it on intimate object but he's not used to using it on selena is what i'm hearing by not fun love me to say he's he's gone okay so uh all right what is brie doing to try and take an action against this uh so well so because like psychic
Speaker: doesn't only attack the mind. Psychic is also used to like stop the attacks, at least in the anime. Psychic is used to say, hey, say, I've got an attack coming at me. What if I just use Psychic, stop the attack, send it off somewhere else?
Speaker: umm I'm going to say that depends. Is there a move called telekinesis? Because I think there is. There but that's also that's a completely different thing.
Speaker: But also, like, Psychic and Confusion both do... ah Yeah, that's not a Psychic as well. I think I'll allow it. I'll allow it on the dice roll.
Speaker: Honestly, I should for Selena too, but it's fine. Also, I just tried looking for Telekinesis in the items list, so I'm good. Well, that's the wrong list. Well, who's the goo for now? but Psychic, according anime, very clearly works on in-animant objects.
Speaker: ah I think I'll allow it. Go ahead and roll me a... be Intimacy check. Arcana. Arcana? Arcana? Not just straight roll psychic? Okay.
Speaker: ah I mean, you can... Yeah. Well, hold on. What are you trying to do? I'm trying to use psychic to stop the trolley. Okay, so you're just adding force to it. You're not trying... to Okay.
Speaker: Basically hitting the brakes on it. Yeah. I'm basically trying to like say, hey... psychic opposite force of the way that it's going. Okay, go ahead and roll accuracy then and I'll just treat as a grayscale.
Speaker: Unless a six being a miss. That's a 16. Oh, a 16. You managed to slow down considerably going down to about 10 miles an hour. You know, I just thought of something. It is now within speed limit, so it's no longer breaking the law.
Speaker: All right, drop's done. right.
Speaker: yes the whole problem was that it was speeding uh so all right i'm gonna get all right so abyss hasn't taken an action yet i'll let you take one more action before you guys have to decide on flipping the left part oh jeez what we really should have done is just use slash and cut all the rope
Speaker: i mean that is a viable option yeah but it's only one of me now i don't think you're gonna give me enough time to do all of them all five i mean depends on how well you roll
Speaker: Uh... I'm gonna cut the rope on one side, the side with the loop. Okay, gotcha. Okay, go ahead and roll me a slash.
Speaker: Oh, hey, 16.
Speaker: Oh, hey! Okay, so with a 16, you managed to cut the rope from all of the people on the tracks. And i will remind you guys, the trolley is still heading towards the five people that are still tied up.
Speaker: thought you just said that they they he cut the ropes of all the people on the track. No, on one track. The other five are still tied up. You gotta flip the lever fast.
Speaker: all Alright. Flip the lever, Kronk! Alright.
Speaker: The lever goes down the right on time right in time and the trolley diverts, almost falling off the track. And it goes and it does the most sick loop-de-loop. Or at least the was would if it was going the right speed.
Speaker: it It kind of gets halfway up and just sadly rolls backwards. Coming to a stop. Oh.
Speaker: And the five Pokemon who I do not remember, it is Squawkabilly, Drizzile, Dracozolt, Zubat, and Sizzlipede. know I only can remember the two of the two of them off my head.
Speaker: Squawkabilly, Drizzile, Dracozolt, Zubat, and Sizzlipede. Yep, lost. Lots of Galarian Pokemon here. I don't know. I just set it to all regions. so yeah The funny thing is I just realized this include the list I chose includes legendaries. Hey, Arceus! Who tied down Arceus?
Speaker: hey our trick food tied down arsseius wide track Palkia, Lord of Space, is just tied to this track. Don't worry about it. These damn spatial ropes.
Speaker: it's like what He's not even tied. It's just like a little string on like his toe. thats Oh no! one more Tied to the track! Oh no! They're the size of his toes.
Speaker: Okay. um I need Abyss to roll a perception check. Oh, okay. A fork? Oh Jesus, okay, you were right below the DC. You notice nothing.
Speaker: You're completely oblivious. Wait, what? Deception's but but but but but Oh wait, no, six. I didn't add beauty to it. Six? With a ah six, I was looking for a DC 5 at this point.
Speaker: So with a six, you notice something really weird going on around you. The air is all wavy. and like there's just like waves in the air. Kind of like a ah like ah you see the waves coming off from like heat of the road and stuff like that.
Speaker: But it's like everywhere. Huh.
Speaker: Is that another drug farm around here? so this is a weed dispensary down the road yeah right right right beside the school could you imagine
Speaker: i'm just i'm just not with it today not holding back today so selena rolled an 11 for her perception i had her roll as well and she notices the waves going around as well uh you guys seeing this
Speaker: Yeah. I'm going to say Bri can also see this for the simplicity. Is it hot out? yeah It doesn't seem like it's hot enough for this to be happening.
Speaker: As you guys look at each other, you notice you guys are all wavy too.
Speaker: Oh, we've been drugged.
Speaker: So... is this Is this what it feels like?
Speaker: Okay, so as the Pokemon start clearing off, one of them... I should have made one of the Pokemon on the track in Audino. She got tied to the track and somehow submitted it to the board.
Speaker: Wait, wait that makes a fact that jesus if that wast if they're not there now, that's a fact that Audino saw this, didn't help the kids. I should...
Speaker: saw this, didn't help the kids went to the board and then just left that's it, that's all they did I made this one shot up in like 20 minutes I i just came to write up pass my sufferer and think think you made a mass murderer who loves it when their murders get stopped so when so after some time odd Dino shows up from the sidelines. A random bush!
Speaker: They were watching the whole time! I realized I really didn't prepare for this. So an Audino just up appears in front of you guys, materialized. And she's like, oh, you guys, you saved all the Pokemon. Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker: How long were those up there? And she's like, here, here.
Speaker: She hands you 2,000 Pokés. Like, yeah, that'll be that that's exactly what I needed, so sure. And she hands you 2,000 Pokés. Question. How long did did you go put that poster up?
Speaker: Huh? Oh, that poster? Oh, I put that up a couple hours ago. But you didn't help Because saw it so fast.
Speaker: Um... I mean, she looks like her stubby little fingers. Maybe? does Aldino's fingers look like? They're nurses. they have they have Their hands are good enough to undo rope.
Speaker: Oh, fuck. They do have hands. Damn, I can't use that excuse. would wait it's just so far away.
Speaker: see she just runs away she just she just disappears like she appeared yeah she just disintegrates in front of your eyes she snaps her fingers and she's gone what and with this you notice that the waves around you are getting really bad everything's getting really wavy and suddenly you guys hear a bunch of static
Speaker: and then you guys look up
Speaker: You guys see a massive blue rift opening up in the sky. Oh, no. but And it looks like it's about to end the world.
Speaker: Huh. And then you guys black out.
Speaker: Huh. Oh, no, it's ore. It's too much for us.
Speaker: So you guys wake up.
Speaker: And there's a couple things you guys see. First thing you see is you see Sammy laying on the floor of a train. Furniture everywhere with a trico and a machop standing over him.
Speaker: What? He is clearly very badly burnt. ah The whole train car is on fire. And... Selena perks her ears up. She's like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker: I know what this is and she runs off to a different train car leaving you guys alone.
Speaker: Did Sammy cause an explosion on the train?
Speaker: i don't think so. Is this some time travel that Sammy was encouraged to train bombings?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: We should go check on Selina. probably should. as you go, you follow Selina and what you see is
Speaker: you see Vaporeon and an Eevee. And Vaporeon is falling out of the train through a hole in the floor that was blown there from the explosion. and you see Selina desperately trying to help the Vaporeon and the Eevee get out of the hole.
Speaker: When suddenly you guys hear, you should not be here, and everything fades away.
Speaker: And you guys are back where you guys should be. You guys are back in Gale Beach. The Audino has just run away, and everything seems to be fine.
Speaker: Except for the giant gaping rift that's still overhead. it what What just happened?
Speaker: ah So I think we went through rift. And i'm guessing that must be the rift to that happened that sent Selena here to this time.
Speaker: Is Selena with us?
Speaker: Yeah, Selene is there, and she is crying her eyes out. She's sobbing.
Speaker: ah I guess I'll go comfort her.
Speaker: You know who that was, right, Abyss?
Speaker: I assume I guess.
Speaker: Uh, yeah, at this point, you guys, she would have told you this story of her mom a while ago. I'm pretty sure was told that they they know the whole story. yeah
Speaker: The whole reason I'm doing this whole, like, questline thing is to try and get back to her bed seats.
Speaker: There wasn't anything I could do. we have to We have to wait to get the the orbs to try it. Going through random rifts is very dangerous.
Speaker: Well, I don't think we went through the rift. it's She she like gestures upwards. It's still there.
Speaker: Well, when we get influenced by the power... the by the way, I will say everything is weight still wavy, but only slightly.
Speaker: Not like nauseatingly wavy, but you can notice that there the rift is having an effect on the world around you. I think we need to find a way to close this rift before anything...
Speaker: Once again, I need one of you guys to... ah ah this Abyss. Abyss, you wouldn't notice this before anyone else. I need you to roll perception again. Okay. 17. Okay, yeah, you'll definitely notice. The hair on the back of your neck stands up, and you feel like somebody's watching you.
Speaker: Am I the only one feeling watched?
Speaker: I... she like looks around selena looks around and i don't see anything but with your what do you roll 17 yeah with your 17 you see a shadowy figure dart down an alleyway behind the school
Speaker: i am going to shoot a shadow ball down that way
Speaker: Okay, by the time you have by the time you react, it's already decked behind, so you can shoot a shadow ball, but it will not connect. They're already down the alleyway. don't know, I'm just blind firing down the alleyway.
Speaker: ah Okay, machine gunning shadow balls. Listen, okay it's a very strange day and when I get an eerie feeling when a rift's open. I'm just gonna blind fire
Speaker: So... Okay, so you fire a bunch of these shadow balls down the alleyway and they all puff into shadowy nothingness as soon as they hit the brick wall. The shadowy figure has run down the alleyway.
Speaker: so
Speaker: like Did you see something, Abriss? Someone was watching us and then ran down the alleyway. i think we should follow. Okay.
Speaker: I guess we should yeah start start taking off then. Okay. like As you guys get down the alleyway, you guys, more abyss than anyone, ah notices that there are like footprints on the ground.
Speaker: But they're not normal footprints. They have like shadows evaporating from them almost. Like just black matter just coming off of them in an eerie ghostly way.
Speaker: Like a yeah they lead down like like black liquid or like black um gas just slowly fading off from steps? It's kind of like a gas. it's like ah It's like shadows just coming off these footprints.
Speaker: Something basic pretty evil must have stepped here. Like the steps get left behind by that little short evil Pokemon, the shadow Pokemon.
Speaker: can't remember name. Oh, Marshadow. Yeah, that. Marshadow. That's what you're thinking of. That's what this game will remind me of.
Speaker: so um down the alleyway you guys just see like a dumpster. There's a fence at the end and you see the footprints. Clearly they jump the fence.
Speaker: You guys can also jump the fence but you guys also have the opportunity just to go around the building. Up to you guys. I will check the dumpster first, see if it's not a fake out. Okay, you look in the dumpster and yeah, they're not there because the footprints did not lead to the dumpster, they went past the dumpster.
Speaker: it could They could have done a turnaround on us. Simple tracking move.
Speaker: nope Okay, so yeah, Bree is gonna like do a nice little like springboard off the dumpster over the fence.
Speaker: Okay, that's really interesting i'm trying to imagine a dog doing a springboard. A vicious psychic gets themselves over.
Speaker: don't think you can use it to fly. two does! That's how they fly! We'll go with that. Okay, I'm not giving you infinite flight.
Speaker: It's like for a short time, but look they can do it for a little while. It's limited. it's It's just over a little fence. Selena hops up on the dumpster and just hops over the fence.
Speaker: follow i mean Let me be special.
Speaker: We're both doing flare in different ways. Yeah. It's not like I'm using this to go get an artifact. So, um, okay. um but I take it you guys are all over the fence now.
Speaker: um the The footprints lead out of the alleyway and they head to the left.
Speaker: As guys follow the footprints down You can see the shadow we figure dark behind the corner of the school as well. and They're clearly trying to get away from you, or at least out of your sight. Stop running! Yep.
Speaker: got Too bad we don't have quick attack. Yeah, i was going to say, guys, just ah roll a d20. I'll take the average, and I'll roll against it. Jesus.
Speaker: 19. Is this athletics? nineteen is this athletics I'm guessing. I was just gonna take a nat 20. Er, pfft. I'll take a... Flat?
Speaker: Just a flat 20. Um, okay, I did not get that high. I got 4. Okay. 419. That's... What? 419.23, so... What was that? 11 and a half. what four nineteen twenty three so was eleven and half Yeah, well, 11.5 beats a 2, so... Ooh, nice!
Speaker: So, you get around the corner of the school, and you see that the shadow Pokemon has tripped and fallen on the ground.
Speaker: And as you get up to it, you notice it is Roggenrola, but it's, like, made of shadows. What Roggenrola is hopping on the fence? Yeah, that's an interesting thing there. That's a really powerful rogan.
Speaker: yeah that It doesn't skip leg day. It just hop a fence by itself. Apparently not. Yeah, so Bree is immediately going to shoot a shadow ball at it. Okay, instant shadow ball. Okay, gotcha. I'm going to that to you ah going first because you got a basically surprise attack on him.
Speaker: So ah with that, we will commence battle.
Speaker: this up um Do really need to roll speed? We're gonna beat it ah You don't know that. It's a Roggenrola versus know we know that. You guys might not beat it.
Speaker: um Oh, really? Okay. well Well, brie Bree has to roll her Shadow Ball first. You got like a a attackcker you got a yeah surprise attack, so you go ahead and take your attack before anything else.
Speaker: Nat 20. Oh my god. One shot it. One shot it. One shot it. all Alright, so it's max damage plus damage dice.
Speaker: that's one yeah forty eight plus ten So 10. It'll be 26 plus an extra 2d8. It
Speaker: says just plus 1d8, right? Oh, is it? Maybe. Yeah, it's max damage plus a damage dice. Oh, okay. Well, I got a two damage. Okay, I will check real quick just to make sure.
Speaker: Oh, my definitions are out of place. Move effectiveness. Gosh, I'll be honest. Their stats suck. Their stats suck. Why
Speaker: do I it? why do i not see it i Well, okay then. That's something I've got to write down. then There's no rule for crits in the system.
Speaker: think you just I thought we just did it. one Max damage plus ah roll your damage.
Speaker: Unless I'm wrong. No, it was always max damage plus a damage die. Unless I'm wrong. yeah um No, that's right. it was It is always said as plus a damage die.
Speaker: I always assumed that it meant... that like the dice that you roll, but it almost always happens with just moves that just had one D-whatever. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. So, what did you get?
Speaker: Yeah, so I rolled 2 then. a So that'll be, what, 28 plus 8? eight Or no, special move, plus 10. So that'll be 38...
Speaker: Special ghost damage. Special. Okay, 38. Alright, that actually does a pretty big amount of damage. You shoved the, uh, basically shoved the rug and roll's face further into the ground as you do 28 damage.
Speaker: Okay. So, a pretty sizable amount of damage. And with that, we're gonna roll initiative. Alright, time to roll by d12. What are these fucking rolls?
Speaker: I got nine. Alright. right Alright, 10 and 19. I got a nat 1. So, 20. This thing fucking sucks.
Speaker: It had a speed of 24, by the way. um Technically, I was just rolling a d20 plus 4, but yeah. wrote Rock and roll is a speedy boy. Apparently so.
Speaker: It's a shadow shrugging roller. Okay, no so you guys get to go first. Alright, are you guys doing? Same as the first, Shadow Ball in it. Shadow Ball. Go for it.
Speaker: Come on, we want two crits here. Not a crit, but still good, 15. 15 will definitely hit. That's right. It also lowers the spadef by 2 because of the special effect of Shadow Ball since I got
Speaker: crit. Oh, Umbreon here, yeah. uh oh i see that okay so that's all d20 yeah yeah yeah okay i see that uh special defense minus 20. minus two but
Speaker: Oh, yep. Special Defense minus 20. Next Special Attack. Okay, I'm a level-looking The reason I said that, it has it has a Special Defense of 20. So I read the number 20 as I was saying.
Speaker: Oh, wait. If it has a Special Defense of 20. Oh, my God. All right, thanks for telling us. You guys don't know that. Don't worry about it. I did 25 damage in total.
Speaker: Okay, 25 damage, and then it's also special. So that's what was. 10 is 15 damage. Big hit. Big hits. All right. It is back to Bree.
Speaker: All right. We're going to, seeing as my crit Shadow Ball didn't, like, just take it out, we're going to assume it has a lot of health, and we're going to throw a Toxic at it.
Speaker: Toxic. okay With 17, that'll hit. You guys, these rolls are insane today. Yeah, apparently I to not be as bruised.
Speaker: tip My are gross.
Speaker: My rolls are terrible. this is This is really hurting my heart because Rock and Roll is one of my favorite Pokemon. Well, it's made of shadow now, so it's even cooler. I know. And it's going to die.
Speaker: Well, it's now badly poisoned. Okay, ah what exactly is the effect of badly poisoned? bad Oh no, it's just badly poisoned. really shouldn't say that.
Speaker: There it is. Roll d4 and take damage equal to the result times turns since being poisoned.
Speaker: ah Oh, so a number of d4 times the number. Okay, gotcha. So right now it's 1d4. 1d4 times 1. four top one Yeah, 1d4 times 1. Next turn, it'll be 1d4 times 2. And this is dicking damage that can't be blocked by defense.
Speaker: Yep, and this is just he straight up damage. Yep. Okay. Alright, so ah first roll was a 4, so it right off the bat it takes 4 damage from that. Oh, yeah. Nice.
Speaker: And it is going to go for... Wait, what about Selena? It's going to go for... I think it's going to go for a rock smash. Wouldn't Selena be next?
Speaker: Oh, Selena is here. I forgot about Selena. I'm playing Selena and I forgot. Yeah! All right, Selena goes. Mr. Profile. right Mr. Glacione Profile. All right.
Speaker: Rock and Roller gets its HP back. Selena's turn comes up. I'm going choose like two moves. that don't have a character for her. um i'm gonna use the embryon's character sheet and just replace with some ice moves uh use ice ball
Speaker: ice ball you mean ice beam okay so yes he's gonna go for an ice beam which is a d10 plus 10. and in some of the animators they could just be using the ice ball move ice beam because they just chuck a giant ice ball at them that's a nine and a one So that's 10 plus 10, 20 plus special is go away taskbar.
Speaker: Go away. you multiply this damage, ta no we know that not its actual type. Okay, so it's, uh, what did I say? 20? Yeah, 20.
Speaker: 20 plus 10 is 30. 30 minus its special defense is 12. well So it's going to do a max of burn. It's going to do 12 damage. Alright, so it's not rock or ground type.
Speaker: It's rock type. It is? Alright, well, it's pure. It would normally be pure rock. Normally. However, this thing here says, oh, it's untyped. How mysterious. Oh, right. I forgot about that. I forgot we do untyped these. Yeah.
Speaker: yeah The rug and roll is dancing around your guys' attacks, trying to take as little damage as possible as it goes for a rock smash. And it is going to target um Abyss because it's the one that's done... It's doing lousy dance dancing. It's getting smacked. It's going to go after Bree.
Speaker: so uh that is a 1d8 plus six i'm gonna need my d8 i'm using oh my god my god yes i need a roll for accuracy uh 12 it hits anyway uh i've got a two for damage oh that's good three the plus six eight
Speaker: plus six is 14. fucking fourteen i hope Oh, 14 minus defense. No, no, it's times 1.5. What? Times 1.5.
Speaker: It's been 1.5. Super effective. we We made it 1.5 super effective, then two times for quadruple. No. Yeah, we did that because otherwise we one-shot too many characters without without doing this.
Speaker: you guys talking about? I'm literally looking at the definitions right now am crazy? i swear we- yes you are! i've literally looking at the definitions right now we banned that because it was more fun to be more powerful rather than nerfing your guys' selves oh okay bigger numbers is more fun to combat combat that I just give you guys harder enemies rather than nerfing you guys okay
Speaker: We've almost done it that way. I know Not a Scratch changed that a couple years ago. Yeah, I was listening to Arc 7 of Not a Scratch. I forgot we did that.
Speaker: We didn't do that change. yeah I believe that if I just increase the difficulty of the monsters, it's more fun. It's a bigger number. Okay. It's 14 minus
Speaker: well it's final final damage 28. no because it the type effectiveness is done last oh okay i always forget how that's done it's uh what so it's damage dice plus your attack minus opponent's defense times uh super effective not very effective whatever so what so it'll be 14 minus a damage and a damage Yeah, so yeah, he'll... Okay, we're gonna note that down somewhere.
Speaker: then Yeah, yeah i said I sent them screenshots the carrier sheets, so... Yeah, so I've got max health at 23, so it'll be 15. What? How much health do you guys have?
Speaker: We only have 23 health. Oh god, okay, well I'm gonna... I ah didn't know you guys were... Okay, well, honestly this might be more balanced than I thought it was. ah all right Uh, it is now your guys' turn.
Speaker: Although I think you're missing some level-up bonuses.
Speaker: What about the level-up bonuses? You might... I think you're missing some level-up bonuses. Um, I don't know. i made this and I made these character sheets in like two minutes, so if I... yeah Oh!
Speaker: Yeah. It's fine. I scaled the i scaled the enemy around the character sheet I gave you guys. so So you guys should be fine either way. And the rest your guys' words, you guys are doing okay. So you guys are fine. Just keep in mind, I've only got 15 health left. don't know if Rathenroller doesn't care.
Speaker: He's got three enemies to get through.
Speaker: Quick, Ron Roll, and explode. explode change Explosion. Now you can take care for toxic damage.
Speaker: um Yes, it does not take toxic damage, which will be a 1. My low roll is coming in touch. Well, that'll be 2 then. 2?
Speaker: ah to Because it's the second turn. You guys, it it just went for the first time and now it's your guys' turn again. Because it just used the Rock Smash on you guys.
Speaker: Right, okay. i thought So it's going back to you guys. The end of its turn, okay. Yeah, so going to get Selena's turn out of the way real quick. She's going to go ahead and use, try to use Blizzard.
Speaker: It is, oh my gosh, I'm going to say 12. Oh my god! nat 20. i got a nat one oh my god oh my god maybe just hit us the sheep for selena i don't even have a sheep for her i just edited the one you got i gave me you guys oh god okay this is a 10 plus 10. so you just do so you just do three d
Speaker: So it's just 3d10 divided by 2 is how much damage you're going to take. 7, 8, 15, and 6 is 21. Oh, God. 21 plus 31. No, you don't do the plus.
Speaker: It's just the dice for nat ones. Oh. We've been doing that way, I'm pretty sure. I... no you don't do you don't do the plus it's just the dice where nat one oh
Speaker: we've been that way i'm pretty sure then apparently you've been doing things a lot differently than you've been thinking lately. Really? i don't i don't know. You got the... ah Whatever. um We'll go with that for now.
Speaker: ah So, what did I 31? 31. No, 21. 21. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker: um Sorry, my cat is trying to take attention. I can't fucking see my screen, Shippy. Wink. Go over here. So, 21 damage divided by 2 is 10.5, right?
Speaker: Yeah, so. Minus 11. It runs down, right? Minus 10.
Speaker: Okay. So, c Selena basically tries to summon a giant blizzard, she ends up choking on her own breath and ends up like freezing, that giving herself a brain freeze.
Speaker: So, she's dealing with that as it is now your guys' turn.
Speaker: All right. well We're going to go for... Psychic! yeah Psychic?
Speaker: Let's go for the Walter combo.
Speaker: Sure, let's do it. We'll do a double psychic on it. Double psychic. Okay, go ahead and... You got you can both roll them if you guys are doing the exact same thing.
Speaker: Nat 20! twenty o oh my good This is supposed to be a boss fight Well, boss fight ain't no match against our luck Go ahead and roll.
Speaker: Oh my gosh 38 plus 10 48 thirty eight plus ten forty eight hi Nice, and I get to do my 2d10. 3 and 5. So that's going to be 8, 18, 28.
Speaker: So we've 28 and 48? Is what we've got? Final damages? Yeah. Okay, 28, 68, 74. Wait.
Speaker: so yeah so we've got twenty eight and forty eight is that what we got yeah final damages yeah yeah okay twenty eight' your boss looking seventy four wait
Speaker: What did you guys say? No, 76. I don't know how to do math. Oh my guy Guys, this was supposed to be a long fight. Uh, the rag and roll looks at you guys.
Speaker: You do take away at special defense twice because it was two separate hits. Oh, that's true. Uh, special defense. Well, the funny thing is I didn't even... can't even remove special effects.
Speaker: Oh, hey! And because Abyss got a nat 20, its special defense also drops by 2 again. a Guys, I'm doing okay.
Speaker: I've a long day today. I've been awake since 3.30 this morning. you haven't recorded in like three weeks. I'm all right. So, the RobbDub role is not in completely dead. um It's still standing on its feet and Tupi's trying to push buttons on my keyboard.
Speaker: ah What did you do to Tupi? They look so mad. Roggenrola, seeing the amount of damage you guys are doing, is gonna go for a dig. Does my neighbor like one? Yes, it is.
Speaker: Wait, Roggenrola, you're cheating. you You're supposed to wait a turn, then you hit us with it. Yeah. rolled a four. but You roll the you rolled a hit when the hit would happen.
Speaker: So you don't roll the hit this turn. Or at least you're not supposed to. Well, we're not supposed to, but I'm gonna say it's still gonna lose its turn anyway. It tries to dig through the ground.
Speaker: It is just sad and pathetic. It's concrete. It can't dig through it. It makes you a day noise and you hear a ding. It was just metal. There was just metal underneath it.
Speaker: Two. That's four. Yeah, it's like metal under the ground for some reason. Okay, that's four toxic damage. And... Well, that's fun. You guys have done exactly 100 damage.
Speaker: Holy shit.
Speaker: Okay. I mean, surprised... My TNT did over this.
Speaker: chuck more TNT when you guys are standing next to a school. Ah, no!
Speaker: We do not have TNT on our... They call Walter a shooter because he never misses. Jesus. Oh, no. He lines up his shots and never forgets.
Speaker: take a go Okay, okay, uh, Selena's gonna go. she is going to use another ice beam because it's one of the only two moves I actually gave her. So, ice beam.
Speaker: Go ahead and roll for that. my god, 19, I can hit something. Holy fuck. Yeah, but it's against the boss. It's against you, though. that but No, that's the ice beam.
Speaker: I know, no. It's against you, against your boss. Uh, no. Uh, what's the effect roll? Hold on. Actually, it doesn't tell me my effect roll. Effect roll is when you get frozen.
Speaker: Oh, this was in the middle when I got rid of the... Ice beam. Is it? Ice beam. Give me the...
Speaker: ah Ice Beam may freeze opponent. a flatron effect Oh, it's off to the right.
Speaker: It is 19. Okay. nineteen 19. All right. So that free... Yay! It's badly poisoned and now frozen! Woo!
Speaker: this poor rag and roll just trying to do his job all right 2d 10 plus 10 that's a nine seven 16 26 plus what is it um uh it's fit oh wrong character sheet um oh no i'm pretty slim that is like oh what did i say these guys 26 plus it's not that's next for four Plus 10 plus 40.
Speaker: So 46. Okay. So 46 damage minus the special defense of 18. 46. Minus. It should be 16 now because it's had special defense drop twice.
Speaker: did it? Okay. Because Abyss's crit psychic drops the special defense by two. in the shadow ball by brie you can't be doing that buddy yep brie got a crit shadow ball to drop the special defense and then abyss got a crit psychic to drop the special defense even more this actually works as a team because they lower it they lower the defenses and selena's the heavy hitter okay i was so confused because somehow the hp went up accidentally added instead of subtracting
Speaker: Wait, that- oh, I didn't submit. Oh no. Oh my- Why did you kill it already? good. Do you know what freeze does, by the way?
Speaker: yeah it makes it like completely stationary, unable to- Oh, also it's dead, but- oh okay, well- Well, we fear up the body. and Yep, you are frozen and cannot move or attack. Roll d ten If result is 9 or 10, you are thawed.
Speaker: Oh my god, that's brutal. Only have 5% advances thawing out each turn. guys So, that we need we need someone to learn Ice Beam.
Speaker: Or Ice Punch. you you Walter needs to learn Punch. I know that! asonge Well, there you go. We have something that can freeze.
Speaker: I think you're the only one who will be able to do that. Yep. You guys look at the the ice block that you guys just created, and from within, the rug and roll it starts to disintegrate.
Speaker: It, uh, well, not disintegrate, it starts to vanish, I should say.
Speaker: So is it just like a rug and roll a body shape in the ice?
Speaker: Uh, yeah, it's like a cavity of rug and roll. ah The rift above you guys starts to shrink until it disappears the waviness that's around you and the slight nausea you guys have been feeling disappears
Speaker: Man, and these are this would be no problem if these are the kind of people we gotta fight It barely marked us Yeah, I guess I mean like that that that rock smash kind of hurt I am kind of sitting at like two-thirds health right now.
Speaker: Dakota's like, you know what? I'm going to add 20 levels on this. Add this special ability.
Speaker: Add ability. Make sure that it can't be frozen. Immunostats effect. All opponents now have the flame body ability. cant i flip and I'm waiting for Dakota to make these shadows immuno effects.
Speaker: Jesus Christ. but the The last one we did on the train was actually a good fight. There was also the randomness effect, which I had a lot of fun with. That was really fun.
Speaker: This one, i didn't think to make any like gimmicks or anything with it. um So... Yeah, that fight was just sad, so... This fight was fun as long as you were player the game. Well, guess can go look for the Audino now and report him to the police.
Speaker: Uh... Sure. I think that that Ragin' Rolla thing there was more related to the Rift than it was to the Audino.
Speaker: Oh no, I'm just saying that we have a person whos trying to murder some children. Oh, I don't think we have any real evidence of that. Children can testify.
Speaker: yeah but do we really want to be going to court considering who we're currently working with? It's time for another court drama. dun dun dun ding ding ding ding. Welcome back to Pokemon Law and Order.
Speaker: welcome next back to pokemon law and order
Speaker: Bum bu bu ba da bum. Okay. Somebody got a soon now. Well do have that. Wait, do we know about the Arcanine dog as an ally?
Speaker: Or was that after? Okay. That was after. I don't think they that. That has not happened yet. And also, apparently we were not supposed to be trying to recruit that Arcanine as an ally.
Speaker: though there were some clear indicators that we were supposed to try to recruit that Arcanine as an ally, but apparently not. Well, you guys could recruit him.
Speaker: It's, uh, just Mr. Flameback that didn't want you to. Okay. It's because he's in, uh... Bruce! We're just trying to get your father since you it's unlikely we're going to find yours in that void.
Speaker: um I don't remember entirely how that went. I know he's like part of the police force, so like there's that whole thing where he has a job and he has to report to the police and stuff like that.
Speaker: So, yeah, again, i don't remember exactly how that whole debacle went down, but listen that's like the main thing I can think of. The flamebacks can pay off the cops at their place. can pay off him. Whoa.
Speaker: whoa yeah Okay. back to
Speaker: Okay, so um you guys, I'll give you you guys just a couple options. ah You guys can seek out the Audino if you really want to. You guys can also head back to the Flameback residence for, because you guys already got the money from the contract. The contract has vanished, disappeared, and you guys have 2,000.
Speaker: two thousand Okay, so I'm going to add it to the bank. a Oh, I do have it written down here. Okay. Yay. So yeah, we we go deposit that money at the bank.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Okay, so... I think we should head back to the front of school just to make sure that Audino is not talking to those kids.
Speaker: So, yeah, okay. Okay, so you guys head to the bank. um You guys end up depositing it. Do you think Miss Planebag would actually hold those kind of funds in the bank?
Speaker: Or do you think she would have them in her own house? in a vault or something? She's definitely got like a secret side bank. Like Cayman Islands bank. but What? No. why No. that people don't ask what the money's for.
Speaker: no Well, I mean, would she be able to send money elsewhere from her house? Like, would there be a way for us to...
Speaker: Wait, we have ATMs? Withdraw the money.
Speaker: Um... Or would we have... or no you guys just have really deep pockets. Oh. Because I think all the money is is physical in this world, right? I don't think credit cards and stuff exist. Yeah, no, I don't think so.
Speaker: So, wouldn't that mean, since there's no credit cards, that means all the thing would be in one bank. Not until you guys get, like, the RF reader... app for your GBA.
Speaker: Tap pay. that Check out. and Yeah, until then, we're basically either putting in the mansion or putting in a single bank. Well, I mean, if we put it.
Speaker: Oh, yeah. Huh. That does kind of make little do we know the bank was the one that got robbed.
Speaker: All you guys are savings go. And as you guys arrive at the bank, the bank explodes! The bank's not exploding. We were just on the very background of that.
Speaker: I'm just gonna say you guys can just deposit at the bank. It's not a big deal. It doesn't really matter where it goes. You guys can pretty much withdraw whenever. It is inconsequential. So, um also for a recap, Brie currently has 7400 poke stored away.
Speaker: oh Cool. Nice. Technically, that would you guys don't have that now because Bree did a mission the day after that's in this count. but Yeah. Because you guys are a day behind.
Speaker: I put it in immediately. ah Wait. Wait, hold on a second. This wouldn't get added at all. because Because it already already has.
Speaker: it already have it ah We can't have some special episode bonus money, dude. didn't even think about that till now. No, it's just the pocket i change that kids gave us for saving their lives.
Speaker: I guess I had 2,000 pocket change. You know, the typical kids stuff. and i mean hey i mean, out of 10 kids, it's only 20 pokey each. And also... 200 each.
Speaker: two hundred Yeah, $200 each. That comes down to $2 a kid if you switch it over to American money. that makes sense. Let's take that out of context. We robbed their lunch money.
Speaker: You see, robbed these poor, young, kindergarten kids lunch money. Otherwise, we would have let this trolley run over them.
Speaker: think she This is for for us like missing out on the loop. This is them for making us miss out on the la cool loop. I mean, if that if you got if you guys want, you guys can try and get the trolley to go in the loop-de-loop-de on the episode.
Speaker: Create the problem, then get paid to solve it again. Just create your own problems, get paid for them. but We'll find Audino, there will be one tied up.
Speaker: Let's just... You guys don't go tying people. help let's Let's see them ask for help and then someone just watch from the bushes.
Speaker: Let's not and say we didn't even have the thought. I have the thoughts.
Speaker: Yeah. Shall we roll for some psychics and see if we can get that trolley to do a loop-de-loop while there's nobody on the tracks? Yeah. Yeah. Please tell me that loop-de-loop is just an off-rail one and it disconnects and just lands in the school.
Speaker: That's what i was thinking it was. When you when you said loop-de-loops, you like, oh, cool loop, disconnected. It did a cool loop, but then swings out out of the disconnected cable and goes in the school. That's what I thought was going to happen. How would that be Hold on.
Speaker: How funny would it be yeah if if you pulled the lever, not only did it switch the track, but it disconnected the loop-de-loop. It's just having it... a half-loop that launches its train?
Speaker: Just a death trap from the beginning. Why would the trolley system build an automatic destruction system? the Is the Arduino the trolley system maker? This is some saw stuff right here.
Speaker: no.
Speaker: Okay. So, go ahead roll me some d20s you guys to set things. And we'll see how great you guys launch this thing. Well, I got a 6.
Speaker: I got an 18. Okay. okay Average out, that's 24-12. I'll give it to you guys. So you guys manage to push it back with your psychic. ah Push it forward. It goes forward.
Speaker: It goes around the loop-de-loop and it's really awesome. Wait. I saw about this. How does a trolley do loop-de-loop? Um... Because it's connected to the ground. Don't think too hard. Don't think too hard about it. was a really sick loopy loop. That's all you need to know. It's powered by the thing it's connected on and by the ground.
Speaker: Does it just lose power? It's just like the third rail. It's just like up in the air for anyone to touch. no it's it didn't fully loopy loopy. It got stuck in the air. Now it's just the Wait, hold hold on.
Speaker: I thought trolleys would receive power from the above head power lines. It does, but they also have tracks.
Speaker: so Is there just a second loop-de-loop wire going around? I guess. Offset from the track. Just a roller coaster at this point. I'm going to cut this here. so With the fun you guys had, guys um the rift disappeared.
Speaker: And I do want to point this is the first time that Abyss and Bria have seen a rift, I think, right? I think so. Maybe? don't know. Okay. What did... I don't know in the backstory if they saw when Selina came out of the portal. Uh, no. Because she wandered to the nearest town after she came out of the rift and then wandered to the nearest town, which was Hawkeye.
Speaker: So... Okay, and then um so you guys wander back your way to the Flameback Residence, and I'm going to leave all of the NPC dialogue for off-screen time.
Speaker: So, am going to call this episode here. little bit shorter than I be, you guys are... Did you say this is Patreon or not? Or just gonna be out there? No.
Speaker: No, it's gonna be out there. Oh, goody, they get to talk get to hear me basically have a meltdown. today.
Speaker: What did you meltdown about? No, just about my Adam playing today. Oh, yeah. Especially the whole not used to be to using it on intimate objects. God!
Speaker: I'll have to check the rules. on i No, I don't think I have to sense that because already listed as explicit. um Yeah, I think that'll be fine.
Speaker: Okay. Okay. I've been Dakota, your PM, your GM, your GM.
Speaker: I've been Eli playing Bree. I've been playing... Oh, God. um Abyss, the intimate one.
