MIGHT AS WLEL NOT EVEN PLAY

are you guys ready
we're coming up on the end of the game

Thomas is going to kill a man

hmmmmm

I'm ready.

if you guys can beat the final boss quick enough, you'll be able to avoid fighting the secret boss

How interestnig.
I'm good to go.

We already destroyed hagunemnon
What could possibly go wrong

http://gottesman.pressible.org/govan/today-in-history-dust-storm-great-plains-to-eastern-seaboard

Wait what really.

>On May 11, 1934 the most severe dust storm to date spread 350 million tons of silt from the northern Great Plains to the eastern seaboard. This major storm was preceded by a series of lesser dust storms in the West, brought on by drought and farming methods (over-plowing and over-grazing) that failed to address environmental needs. Thousands of families, known as “Okies”, were forced to migrate to California from Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The dust was felt as far east as New York, causing many to be sick, and this massive storm eventually helped prompt legislation for smarter farming, including crop rotation and grass seeding.
yeah

that's not required reading it's just interestng

spooky

who are these friends

spirit animals

oh
do you want to talk to your spirit animals

I don't really have anything to talk with them about.
Felicity's pretty sketchy on the whole magic thing after all.

>>306868
thomas is just making an observation

Don't ask a deer for advice unless you need help breeding to the point of overpopulation and then being culled by local hunters.

that's basically what white people did in curtis' opinion and he wants hunters to cull them lol

ONLY A HANDFUL OF HUMANS TRULY MATTER

felicity is pretty impressive, being able to hang on to the side of the plane like that

I wasn't sure what to call it!
There's usually ridges or grab-able edges to things in planes.

Thumbs up for being canon there Kiririn

thanks

Yeah Sicily, that's about what I was thinking too.

I believe you

thanks

Bah.

nice coupling

wow i guess felicity and thomas died in the crash

thats a joke obviously

Some say that Kinzo was actually dead the whole time.

poor bathrobe kinzo

oh you guys don't take any damage even though you're banged up

nice

Much obliged.

it would be bad manners to damage you guys in a story event on your way to the final boss

I dunno man I would have taken it as fair game.
Or maybe less so since we don't have many people playing.
If there was like five or so players I would have thought nothing of it.

>>306940
impyong i wont have you guys take environmental damage on the wat to the final boss

of course if you do well enough you wont

c a r j a c k i n g

Aw I thought this was some apocalyptic abandoned highway shit.

Where's VV to haphazardly threaten the man with her gun(s)

Oh don't give her any grand ideas.

too bad none of you have resassurance

Why would VV threaten him? She's not crazy.

you can spend a point of bargain to make that work

Definitely.

>politicians

Gotta shmooze our way through the Washington D.C. chapter and we haven't even hit the actual city yet.

I was going to use flattery but this works too!

I was expecting you to, but it's good that felicity finally got to use bargain

Most of the characters we meet along the way haven't exactly been in the kind of mood to bargain.
Or to bargain things we would be willing to give up.

i'm pretty bad at having reasonable NPCs

Wait Kirara so is this currently early May like >>306858 in there.
Because The Gay Divoricee was out in October of that year.

oh i thought it was earlier
oh well
yeah it's early may 1934
let's pretend the gay divorcee came out earlier in this timeline because the director was an eldtrich wizard or something

Doing some blitz research on the time period apparently Chicago gets hit hard by these dustbowl sandstorms.
But Felicity hasn't been back to Chicago for a good while.

I remember back when I was worried about Victoria being the mischievous one looking to make awry perfectly good situations.
How times have changed.

I like this guy's reaction.

he's the most reasonable NPC in the campaign

i like how nobody was worried about sicily, hoover, and battler
like nobody even tried to look for them

Battler is enough of a side character to not cross my thoughts most of the time.
Hoover is about 80% detached from reality so I can't expect much from him.
And Sicily is only there when she wants to be found.

fair enough

>>307043
My assumption is that Hoover left to go do whatever it was he was planning to do.
That's why VV thought we were close to the city. Well, in the city. we were further from it than VV and I would have expected!

Im going to wait a tiny bit before resorting to doggo

i need a ~5 minute break

Maybe this is just my post-9/11 sense of the world, but an entrance to an important political building like this being unguarded is a little weird.

It;s probably a little weird.

Really I have no clue what the Capitol Building even looks like so I'm just running off assumption here.

Well there's also a freak standstorm happening.

zombie senators

Tony what was your wolf power again.

1 stability in exchange for a clue

hint system

Of you want me to use it to try and help Sicily instead of find curtis since we found curtis ill do it

Nah I don't know if it's exactly applicable here.

Can I use my brainwashing power to out-brainwash the brainwasher?

if you roll stability, maybe

So I'd have to roll stability and then spend stability?

Yeah. But you won't lose stability if you fail the roll and I won't make you spend stability unless you use your power successfully because I'm such a generous DM!

I'm not like made of stability here, but I guess I should have expected to have to pay up when dealing with a certian kind of person.

that was so pitiful that i'm going to let you try again and then add 1/2 of the second roll to that

Do I get to re-use my 1 stability?

you do not

I'll just use another one then. And still not really roll all that well.

well, let's say you managed to out-brainwash curtis for the 2 stability you spent in those rolls

I was planning on asking Chicago what sort of trick there is to breaking mind control if Rika couldn't break it.
Though I don't know how closely that ties into lore questions but it kind of makes sense in my head.

yeah that would have been lorey enough

At this point I figure Thomas could pull just about anything out of his bag and no one would think twice about it.

It would be more like a canteen or a waterskin since they didn't have plastics at this time.

snacktime

>>307181
they had plastics in the early 1900s and used them to make toys and stuff like that

I cant see thomas taking it out of the bag ever bt do I still have a gun with ammo in it?

sure

neato

>>307189
I thought we didn't have plastic till space?

>>307208
The first major plastic was invented in like, around 1900, and by 1930, it was common enough that many radios and phones were plastic.

also, i think we should end here for tonight, since the session ends in 20 minutes and there's a monologue AND a fight

To be continueeeeee

Oh no.
I was wondering if there was going to be a long fight coming up.
I felt a bit slow tonight.

I wouldn't call it a long fight, but between that and the monologue, I don't think we can do it in 20 minutes.
What's a villain without a big monologue before the good guys stop him?

>>307210
That sounds good to me.
Though I am just hoping to bash his head in.

>Being the kind of person that just disregards the villain monologue-ing to run up and punch him in the face

Haha, I disregard villain monologues in games I play all the time, too.

I'm going to explode a man
