Wallops at Swallop's
What happens
- 00:00:37 Brennan welcomes viewers and recaps (recap): the crew arrived in Baustin, New Texas, met Lamelia Lefarve (caption "Lafarve") and her ten Chesters, Plug of Plug's Butt-Ugly Stuff Hut, Loose Duke and Sheriff Warner Codge, took the 5,000-credit Smash 'n Grab job and delivered the Kublacaine, and the Sheriff asked for a proldier's license; Skip kicked a gun boot onto the Sheriff's shoulder and Initiative began — 00:01:20–00:03:15
- 00:03:15 Skip rolled a 24 Initiative: a surprise round, then a second round in which he acts first again; boot shot on the surprised Sheriff (19 hits, automatic crit, 17 damage with two dice held back), Angle on Perception 19, then hides behind a wall — 00:03:19–00:08:20
- 00:08:22 Round two: Priming Attack (Wisdom save DC 15, Sheriff fails with 16 and 5), then a krystal dagger throw with a natural 20 for 48 damage; 17 + 48, "65 damage"; Skip jet-packs up and his Stealth is a natural 1 — 00:08:35–00:14:23
- 00:14:26 Margaret finds the deputy with the Kublacaine briefcase (backwards hat), vaults the bar; Barry bursts the two lieutenants beside the Sheriff for 17 each (the Sheriff makes his save) and puts himself in front of Gunnie; Riva (Insight 24) turns one lieutenant on the Sheriff with Psychic Confusion — 00:14:31–00:21:22

- 00:35:01 Skip fails to spot the Sheriff (Perception 17 against 23), sneak-attacks a lieutenant for 19; Margaret uses Critical Analysis on Barry and sends the Jib-Job hot-exit message (Barry's luck check is a 7); after Barry's lightbow hit (13 damage) a laser from Barry's assault blaster kills the lieutenant in sandals; Barry leaps to the rafters — 00:35:04–00:41:51
- 00:42:10 Riva is frozen and does not make death saves; Gunnie would need a DC 30 Mechanics check to revive the drone, fails to lift it, and heals Barry with a med pack — 00:42:32–00:51:38

- 00:56:51 Margaret pings the Sheriff's phone with "get nasty" messages and the ringing gives him away at the outdoor bar; Margaret's natural 1 shot; Skip bursts through the plate glass and kills him with a laser to the throat — 00:56:58–01:03:42
- 01:03:59 Barry jump-slams two deputies and shoots the floor; Sidney finishes the last two with incendiary grenades; combat pauses — 01:04:02–01:09:48
- 01:09:48 Sirens 10 to 15 rounds away; five-star review for the Sheriff, skeet-shot of his burner, loot, group Stealth with Smuggle; Riva repaired to 1 hit point — 01:10:17–01:15:27
