Jagged Alliance 3 - Ep. 07: Take It On Faith

0:04 hey red Don Raider here and welcome back to Jagged Alliance 3. as today we secure what's mine and then I guess we'll take our first jaunt into fleetown we've got Intel for the adjacent sector so that's a good place to start that'll also let us start ramping up our loyalty with the local settlers and boost our income from the mine we just captured though first we should really set up some guards because we are of course within just a few spaces of two enemy outposts it's only a matter of time before they come back and try to reclaim this place we'll also do the usual operations Scout the area get our gear topped off

0:50 pretty standard op [Music] P I'm finished with my task I'm gonna take my 15 minute break now yeah I mean you could do that or you could help meltdown be a slightly less terrible mechanic [Music] and I would be honored to do it like the attitude keep it up rimville and two travel sectors plus the same rumor about the abandoned mansion

1:35 let's go again we've gotten until Rhett and kaylena finished training the second batch of militiamen um I'll get right on it thank you Michael jungle Riverbank jungle someone at fleetown flea market is looking for a missing trinket also Scouts are now tired that's unfortunate but I think being a student doesn't count as as work so let's go ahead and tag them into livewire's impromptu workshop class

2:24 that way they can rest and make some gains at the same time I think I'm getting better at this foreign I'm not sure normally there'd be a marker for when they'd be done resting [Music] well we're done training militia at this point so I guess we should we'll slap Rhett and Kailyn up in training and we'll pull Mouse and MD out so they can get some actual rest [Music] actually let's have Rhett and Kaylin and go scouting

3:11 we're not great at it but this might bump their wisdom [Music] thank you oh uh scratch that exhausted is gone so I guess Madison MD were sleeping through class good for them which I guess means we don't really need to do that scouting run because that was just a kill time while we waited on those two [Music] let's hit fleetown brute Scout

3:59 three grenadiers and four marotters grenadiers might be a problem but otherwise not bad [Music] ah I like the uh the Tastefully decorative corpse in front of the church really really ties the whole place together all right so right off the bat we've got enemies here cluster of four inside that building next to a flanking position right next to our starting area plus one in the road on a patrol route which I'm guessing is this circular path here secret stash next to the uh

4:46 decorative corpse I guess that guy pulled his resources and a second cluster of enemies I see two in the alley here next to a vantage point that that is tempting so in theory we could just creep across to that Tower clear the alley then we'd have a great vantage point to pick off the patrol got a guy next to the church here but he's an easy Kill from the tower oh plus this guy over here I didn't even notice that though he's pretty well isolated so that should be an easy kill as well

5:31 play a game of trailer park tag looks like this make three kills with special attacks I guess that really depends on what they're defining as special attacks but we'll give it a shot oh we've got three in the patrol moving around the side I guess those guys inside the building came out um that is slightly problematic but we can yeah okay yeah we can wait for them to pass by let's get mouse in position this setup's actually almost perfect for a knife kill she can just come right up the dock behind him and not risk being seen by anyone else quiet ain't my strong suit I'm good at making people ignore me

6:21 and for those struggling with knife kills you can actually set up the attack action from a distance like this then all you have to do is move your character adjacent and they'll carry out the attack you already set up and no one's the wiser in fact given that it's night time they might not even notice the corpse ooh armor mod I'll take that now we've got a clear route to the tower so we'll push up get our snipers okay never mind they are really clustering up on that building over there um hmm

7:07 that's not all of them that's three okay next to the church we've got two on the pool now all right um oh here we go let's pick this guy off while he's isolated there's no way they ain't gonna see me careful this mouse bites preferably when he's not staring right at us

7:52 oh no no he's moving too quick for a knife kill and something interesting now he's too close to the other cluster I'm not sure that would be far enough for them to not notice okay let's tag the church guy trying to be quiet but then after that we're on the clock because we have at least one other roamer [Music] um well see now he's too close to those guys

8:40 so you know what we'll just set up over here and then we will pick off the pool guys what did you do before the Leisure we'll worry about the Rovers after that that's [ __ ] up it wasn't so bad until the new government started preaching [ __ ] about peace and democracy and outlawing looting so I quit ran off with Megan here you private sector Blood Diamond gay I've heard they're pretty tough yeah and dumb as [ __ ] because they are they brought someone like you into the gang didn't they well [ __ ] you too oh and they're on the Move now okay so I guess maybe they just stay stationary long enough for you to eavesdrop and then start

9:26 roving it actually kind of makes me want to hear what the other guys have to say but but I also feel like we've already spent too much time skulking around town yeah yeah let's um we have to make a move we can't just keep going in circles here and this may be our chance we've got this guy coming back towards the church and he should hopefully be circling back around the front oh yeah here he comes places people [Music] of course watching this kill could bring

10:13 the rest of them on us we want to make sure we're ready for that nice nice that'll do it so we've got the cluster of four over there we've got these two over here let's hold for a moment see if anyone starts moving our way [Music] okay that guy is coming our way quiet as a church mouse not making

10:59 up nope now he's Wheeling off going the long way also I just remembered that that challenge we have if we just self-kill everyone we're not going to meet that requirement there's no way they ain't gonna see me so maybe we should get a bit more aggressive and provoke a real firefight here I know the rooftops look over here oh that's workable we've got that whole lip there to take cover behind plus the tire barriers on the far side if people circle around

11:48 we would be open from the left but I mean this guy's already walked away so we should be good I shall not make a noise let's take up positions yeah they cannot hit what they cannot see but we have to make this quick we don't want to lose track of that other guy this plan sucks when I was little a good surprise shot and here we go

12:36 got him the other ones notice something amiss he is investigating the corks and he is super dead though two more have started straying well all three of them are headed this way now and once they come with an eye shot of those Corpses it's just a matter of time before they raised the alarm there's no way they ain't gonna see me so let's hold ground here

13:23 we'll keep the rooftop we'll set a few guys up at ground level in slight Crossfire positions and uh we'll try to bang some special attacks I've got to remember that that's a weird optional Quest but it does force me to change up my tactics a little otherwise we'd just be sniping and knifing these guys all day the foreigners are here two arms what and we've got ourselves a firefight friend coming this is always the best way to do things this sneaky [ __ ] ain't my style

14:18 ready [Music] in my sight [Music] find that good position [Applause] nice [Music]

15:06 let's drop the other one wait wait you've got to remember our special objective though we've already got one banged was that from the OverWatch [Applause] yes you have a good shot how about this one I have the villain in my sights oh yeah okay two or three plus an x-pop I will

15:53 let's go clear those last two and I think we're good this sneaky [ __ ] ain't my style Tower is not really great for this the rooftop and Awning would block the shots so we'll circle behind [Music] oh uh okay yep take the shot

16:42 nice nice now we just dropped the last guy with Run and Gun and we're all set actually this might not drop him but we've got Rhett and live wire to fall back on what three special attack should hopefully get it done yeah yeah I'm going

17:27 [Applause] they're probably pissing their pants right now oh yeah well that just makes it easier [Applause] unless we miss like 90 percent of the shots which I guess is also a distinct possibility Livewire you want to um you want to take a shot at this

18:16 wow that is unfortunate but um you know what we'll we'll take some hits for the team I would like that objective [Music] or he could just run away I guess that also works it is flea town okie dokie well I think we're set goodbye [Applause] and we are good things are dead now is the time for singing and dancing plus one leadership come on

19:03 I mean we'll take it but it's not exactly a high priority for someone like meltdown to be fair I think that also Nets us morale and um experience points so still not a bad get I see I wouldn't sleep there even for a briefcase of money that place is haunted face shoot I missed part of the conversation but I want to say they were talking about the hell you hell yeah the abandoned mansion just north of us which we do want to investigate but not until after we've secured Fleet town because our priority right now is

19:50 bumping up our income everyone Norma can I ask you something yeah I figured this was coming look kid you're cute and all but I ain't interested what oh no that's not what I was gonna ask you about why the hell not something wrong with the way I look hey I got guys and girls back home lining up to get in my trailer if you know what I mean of course I'm I'm sure you do but say one of those guys or girls upset you how would they make it up to

20:36 standard procedure for getting back on Norma's good side is cleaning the bathroom walking the dogs getting an apology tattoo stripping naked and assuming the position that is very specific I mean look say what you want about meltdown but she is a woman who knows precisely what she wants and um yes sir I do get the impression she's the kind of woman that you don't get into a relationship with without knowing what you're signing up for Plus follow me or I'll just follow you nope that's fine have you been drinking again

21:24 you know I was told there was special dialogue between the two that is not quite what I was expecting but it is interesting okay and I guess it does make sense because uh for those who haven't played Jagged Alliance deadly games Stella uh mouses significant other does have a similarly assertive and sometimes abrasive demeanor you know what I think we'll just have Rhett hold all the explosives meltdown's the only even remotely trained character in our party and our

22:09 hands are full so what you should really find some time for Rhett to run these guys through the basics spreading more grenades around the party certainly couldn't hurt let's go no sorry wait uh that it absolutely could hurt but that's what the training's for oh lovely a full set of armor only flag but we'll take it ready to um do stuff let's go oh we should uh we should chat up the locals my father wants me to marry one of those creepy van tassels at the twin manners but I would rather run away than settle

22:56 in that cursed place I have no wish to be murdered by a vengeful Spirits thank you very much twin manners um we're going right okay so maybe that's what those two gangers were talking about go to Diamond red I know for sure that the foreman of that mine is a vampire who bathes in the blood of his slaves the Empire oh my let me see we'll need garlic holy water and wooden Stakes you know what I would absolutely play the crap out of a supernatural jacket Alliance at the refugee camp who can heal anything he can't even make a man's pee pee grow bigger oh well well that certainly sounds like

23:42 it's worth investigating for the for the healing I mean not not the other thing no you know I mean if we're already there the communities little but have good benefits the capitalists pay better but working today these are my options uh pass next comment [Music] there are West places than flee Town my friend just not by a whole lot the market has everything you expect to find as long as you don't expect to find much well I do find that managing your expectations is an important part of not being perpetually disappointed

24:28 pipe bombs larger AOE than a standard grenade but on a one-round timer that's a lot harder to set up mid fire fight that could be useful for like flushing people out of entrenched positions or enclosed indoor areas foreign Force the AI to decide between moving out of cover or blowing up we're actually starting to get a bit overloaded with explosives here I should really use this stuff a bit more judiciously we're moving

25:13 oh merchand all right our Merchant but still on wax if you die on this spot while testing the goods you'll get a full refund cool so do you actually sell stuff or oh my goodness yes we will I mean look that's pricey for a magazine but we will take that Beijing retcon [Music] what yes oh wow and another blade sharpener nice

26:00 so maybe I will um maybe I will sharpen a knife or Mouse follow me or I'll just follow you no it's fine let's go [Music] ready sure come with me everyone more pipe bombs okay

26:50 but no actual pipe let's move that is a remarkably elusive piece of basic Hardware yes Rhett are you jacked enough to lift a car someone tried to fix this thing once it looks like various tools and parts are still trapped underneath a rusting Hulk Auto success and 12 Parts not bad we'll have to take another pass on our Arsenal maybe uh tack on an extra premium mod or two on our Quest perhaps what about this one

27:40 all right all right okay I think that's everything but the church got it we do have that one generator over there but that's marked as trapped and it's right up against the church so I feel like that's a pretty clear indication we're not supposed to mess with it while generally speaking the locals don't seem to mind if we take whatever is not nailed down I feel like that yeah I feel context wise that looks like something we shouldn't mess with

28:28 combat stems single use gain extra AP until the end of next turn lose energy pretty straightforward but potentially useful we'll take those I mean classically the problem I tend to have with those sorts of items is that they cost more AP to use than you actually really get out of them but uh we'll see other took her and smiley welcome to the house of blessed Spirits a Church of God and Temple to the spirits I am father Tuka all are welcome here especially if you have diamonds to sell all sales contribute to the good of the village [Music]

29:14 so wait gods and spirits I mean I guess it wouldn't be the weirdest thing in the world but the speed it's guided the people of these lands long before the land of Christ the teachings of their ancestors must be seen in the teachings of the Lord if we want the people to understand and live with the true faith in their hearts but it is no secret that lately the people's faith has been shaken he recent trouble we've been having here at the house of blessed Spirits isn't helping is that so what kind of trouble are we talking here there has been appeared scratching and poking around the church walls at night of course I know it's just a man but one no doubt possessed by an evil spirit please if

30:01 you could deal with this problem I would be grateful as long as the Restless Spirit persists my flock loses more and more faith in my ability to give them hope and guidance right of course and uh where is this Restless spirit that looks like a normal person once I sacrificed a goat to try to coax the evil spirit out of him but when I approached the man he ran off towards the river I curse he sounds cursed I lost him along the southeast Bank not far from here the Smugglers have tried to catch him as well but he always manages to hide in time Southeast Bank well that certainly sounds intriguing

30:48 so did I hear you right your church also buys diamonds yes the house of blessed Spirits means repairs and insurance payments need to be made the humble Prophet I make reselling diamonds allows me to help those in Need by offering them a free meal every day but if you are interested in buying diamonds I can sell you a few tiny pieces I have oh well that's actually more than we would get selling them directly to Adonis though I suppose the downside would be that we'd have to be here specifically I don't suppose you can do better on those rates probably but you don't just get money for your

31:34 diamonds you will also have my blessing everyone in town will know that you contributed to the well-being of the House of blessed spirits and they will love you for it oh come on Old Man blessing is good but money is better perhaps I can offer you a slightly better price but it won't be much my margin is already quite low I barely turn much of a profit as it is oh wow 700 that's a deal not to mention of course that he certainly seems to be implying we would also gain reputation with fleetown you said something about insurance

32:22 I need to make payments to my good friend boss Bluebell so he can continue to protect this church from vandals and thieves he is a good man not necessarily a kind person but he is fair and never resorts to violence unless needed very well respected he keeps the peace right thus explaining why there were gangers just randomly hanging around in the streets here so what are your parishioners just have like diamonds to spare what's the deal here my flock is very poor but they sometimes find a tiny diamond one way or another and I always tell them every diamond is

33:07 clean in the eyes of God that doesn't sound like a great moral lesson to hand down to desperate people but oh okay and I assume it's boss blow bear that buys these diamonds from you this is no secret I will tell you my friend lalia the flea market buys them from me and resells them on the black market I am no Trader so I am grateful for his help in selling the diamonds he is truly a godsend right and I'm guessing Lolly is the middleman for boss blow bear but we're hitting the market next we'll know soon enough man that is a good rate

33:52 but we don't want to blow all of our diamonds we might need them for other things too let's do one for now just to see what the return on rep is and then we can start planning around that I should also do some math to try to calculate now let's do one let's do one thank you and be blessed okay so just plus one that's I guess that's to be expected so with our seven diamonds minus one we just handed him we could get up to plus seven rep here though as before I mentioned we want to keep at least a few in reserve or other potential uses [Music]

34:39 walk in peace with God yeah yeah you too let's see what Smiley has to say let's move oh uh okay I guess we can't actually get to him As You Wish interesting I mean I suppose we could just blast down a wall or take out the door but all right all right much like with that generator out back probably best not to push our luck there I'm sure we'll find out more information about what's going on there as we meet folks like Lolly and boss low bear

35:25 okay I am going to have to do some math because we're coming up on payday in a week and we need to spike our current Holdings if we want to afford to keep everyone on though within that week we should easily be able to take the rest of Fleet Town we've got the marketplace East and um I'm not sure if I mean I guess rimsville must be part of it but I guess we wouldn't get credit for securing it because it's not being held by hostiles we might also get credit for the abandoned mansion it is technically connected maybe the port too we'll do up some militiamen real quick

36:11 just uh just for for now can't really afford the cash or the time to do more than that right now that'll give us a chance to top off our gear and do another quick round of scouting as well [Music] but yeah with payroll right around the corner we have to be careful here we could burn our six remaining diamonds that would be 4200

36:59 I'm gonna take my 15 minute break now I need to see what the cash return on the mind's output per point of loyalty we have is to determine potential yields okay well clearly we don't have time for another fight today so let's just chill out for a second and finish training up these guards enemy scuffle Intel on Savannah flea market Riverbank F10 oh I wonder if that's the one with the evil spirit also someone at the flea market is

37:45 looking for a missing trinket well that is also intriguing because that's where we're headed next [Music] let's get those wounds traded that'll give us time to finish up the training [Music] for me and I would be honored to do it and training complete plus one leadership nice plus one Health on MD as well fantastic all right folks we clearly don't have time for anything else today so I think we're gonna have to call it here but we got a fair bit done and we have

38:32 several new intriguing leads to follow up on also uh I am curious with uh Tucker what's the what's the general consensus here misguided holy man or is took her on the take that said we'll hit the pause button for now I'm gonna crunch some numbers take care of the usual off-screen book work and we will pick up here next time see you then oh and special thanks to the Raiders the fine folks who help make these videos possible including but not limited to Revenant Eloise Dragon Matrix 7 dragon theory b23 Egon alter Emil Excelsior
