Special: None Damage: None BACKSTORY Click to reveal.. (BACKSTORY) "They're not coming back." Officer McCloud had startled himself by saying that. For the past month, he and five other Amarillo deputies had been holed up in a small run-down house outside city limits. As far as they had known, they were the last of Amarillo's police force; the rest had been killed by either the zombies or the bottom-feeding scum that had followed them. Of course, over the past month, that number had been dwindling. One had been turned into a zombie. Another had been shot by an overly-jumpy bystander. And the third... well, the third just vanished. And he suspected that the only reason he had survived was because the others had refused to take him on outings for supplies; they had told him it was because they needed something to hold down the fort, but it was easy to see the truth: They didn't want to be weighed down by a rookie who's first day on the job got interrupted by those shambling monstrosities. Honestly, he didn't mind. Zombies, roving gangs of thieves and thugs... he hadn't signed up for this kind of damage. But he was getting nervous; both remaining officers had taken a good number of their supplies to try and make a run for food and ammo. They had been gone for four days, and still showed no sign of returning, and food was running dangerously low. McCloud sighed. He did not want to run, but Amarillo was getting too dangerous, especially for a lone rookie still dressed in uniform. Gathering his supplies, he glanced out a small gap in the boarded-up windows. The field around the house was clear, for now. Deciding it was now or never, Officer McCloud removed the barricades from the door and bolted for Interstate 40, heading east out of Amarillo. ...Whew. That's getting big. ========== Anyway, we should probably plan our next move. First off, considering how badly wounded Erving is, I suggest we consider just staying put for a day to give his leg additional time to heal. We've got plenty of food at the rest stop, so it's not like we're risking anything sitting tight for a day, and having someone up and able to contribute is better than having someone be dead weight. Assuming we're heading for Norfolk, our best bet is probably to stay on the I-40 and take it as far east as possible. And even if we aren't, we don't have any reason to get off the interstate (unless someone else has thought of something that doesn't include the words "oil rig"). Also, there's something I'm starting to wonder about our tactics; thusfar, we've been having difficulty whenever we try to scavenge from or enter a city. No surprises, after all, there's zombies. But here's what I'm thinking: Right now, zombies tend to spot us either by hearing us or by seeing us. Which brings me to my point: if they're using vision to find us, why make a scavenging run in broad daylight, when we're most easily spotted? Why not wait until dark to try it? Obviously, we don't want to try and find a safe house in an unknown city after dark, and we'd probably want to do a bit of scouting on the outskirts of the city before trying anything (we need some binoculars), but for just simple scavenging runs, it might make more sense to do it at night when the zombies are less likely to see us (And also use melee to keep noise down). Thoughts? On another note, right now, we've got a good amount of food and fuel, but ammo is running dangerously tight. We've got four magazines of Small Cal ammo between us and two shotgun shells; that'll last us one fight, maybe two if we're lucky. If it was just zombies, we could simply resort to melee, but seeing as we also know there are raiders in the area, we could potentially have a very big problem on our hands if we're caught in a firefight. In short, we need ammo. I propose we do one of the following: 1) Send a small team back into Oklahoma City: Odds are, there's got to be police precincts, shopping malls, sporting goods stores, or something that we could salvage ammo from. We could do this by sending a small team on foot into the city (they'd take the sedan to get there; that'd also be a good test of its gas mileage) to scavenge, utilizing melee only to dispatch any zombies they come across. The four we picked up already demonstrated that a small group could navigate the city without drawing every zombie out of the woodwork (they got screwed because they got into a firefight). If we decide to wait and let Erving rest and heal, we could do this while he's resting back at the rest stop, and with a little luck, the team would be back for dinner and ready to go the next morning. 2) Scavenge one of the smaller cities to the east: If we continue east on the I40, we'll wind up passing one city, Henryetta, and going through another named Sallisaw. If we don't want to risk Oklahoma City, we can instead stop at one of these two cities and see if we can locate ammunition there. Okay, I think this post is getting a bit long. Any thoughts, or anyone else have something to add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Wait, you're seriously suggesting that we attempt to navigate the zombie-infested city at night with no special equipment and slightly over three dozen rounds of small arms ammo? Perhaps not a massive city like Oklahoma City, but I think it'd work in a smaller city or town. Also, I'm talking about fast hit-and-runs here, not drawn-out wandering; fact is, the last two times we've been in a city, we wound up drawing out a horde of undead after our flesh in record time. Come to think of it, though, I could be totally off-base here. I'm making assumptions about their sensory perception here that could wind up inaccurate... It'd be helpful if we could figure out how exactly they perceive the world and how they identify their prey from fellow zombies. I still think the idea has merit, but if we were to try it, it'd probably be best to try it in a village or very small town like McLean. Quote: dude have you ever even seen a zombie movie Nope.

Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Near the end I said that you had about 5 days worth of food, which is mostly the canned goods and pasta you found. Most of you are carrying around jerky or other snack food, I guess we can just assume that you eat that stuff during the day whenever you're hungry (for example we've yet to actually stop for lunch or anything.)

(Inventory) WORN/EQUIPPED/POCKETED -P226 Service Pistol (3DMG 10CLP) [small Arm: 10 Small Caliber Rounds Loaded] -Revolver (4DMG 6CLP FRload) [small Arm: 6 Small Caliber Rounds Loaded] -33 Small Caliber Rounds -Bullet-Proof Vest (Piercing DR 2/AP) -Plain Clothes -Pistol Holster -Mirror Shades -Amarillo Police Department Badge -Handheld CB Radio -Lighter -Sedan Keys -Duffel Bag (Pack) DUFFEL BAG -Fire Axe (3DMG Slashing) [Melee] -Police-Issue Flashlight (2DMG Blunt, Strong Beam Illumination) [Melee] -Submachine Gun (6DMG 4BRST 20CLP) [small Arm: Empty of Small Caliber Rounds] -Pink Furry Metal Handcuffs w/ Key -Amarillo Police Uniform -Flask of Alcohol -4 Dead D-Cell Batteries And in addition to THAT, we also have the Sedan and what's contained within. FYI, any stuff that's stored in the sedan is effectively fair game for the party; I only ask that you guys leave the bows and arrows alone until we know more about them. Click to reveal.. (Vehicle Stats and Contents) SEDAN Fuel: 66% Full (Gasoline) [Estimated] DAMAGE Rear window destroyed; Firearm damage on passenger-side doors. OCCUPANTS Devin (Driver); Caitlin; Clyve. CONTENTS -2x Full 5-Gallon Gas Cans -Air Freshener -Pawn Shop Safe (Unopened) -2 Bottles of Shampoo -2 Compound Bows (-2HIT 5DMG) [bows: Uses Arrows] -Crossbow (5DMG FRload) [bows: Uses Arrows] -20 Arrows [Armor-Piercing] -Semi-Auto Pistol x5 (3DMG 10CLP) [small Arm: Empty of Small Caliber Rounds] -Various Assorted Batteries -Oklahoma Road Map -Penlight (Weak Beam Illumination) -Small Box of Laundry Detergent Phew. I've also got some questions. First off, regarding the crossbow: -What kind of crossbow is it? Standard, repeating (as in semi-automatic), pistol? -What kind of weapon skill does it require? Small Arms, Single-Shot Rifles, a separate Crossbows category? -What kind of stats does it have, in terms of damage and accuracy (and if repeating, clip size)? -If a standard crossbow, how would reloading work? Would you have to take a reload action each round? -Does it use arrows just like a bow, or does it use its own bolts/quarrels? Second, regarding the bows: -I'm guessing this would fall into its own skill. What would be the criteria for it? Flat perception? -Would it be possible to craft new arrows? Obviously, anything crafted on the run would be inferior to quality arrows, but it should still work for short-range combat. And finally, regarding some of the other new stuff Devin picked up: -What's the clip size on an SMG and revolver? -What protection does the Bullet-Proof Vest offer? -What's in the flask Devin picked up? -How much shampoo did Devin pick up at the store? ----- Finally, as for next session: any day works, so long as it doesn't conflict with another campaign (though that should be clearing up quite a bit, soon, what with Mistb0rn returning and EoD approaching its end). So the only days that are off are Tuesday the 23rd (tomorrow) and Thursday, September 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 The crossbow/bow: Bows/crossbows use their own proficiency. Crossbows are governed by PE, and bows by (PE + DXT)/2. They do 5dmg, and arrows are considered AP. Both weapons use the same arrows. Both must be reloaded every turn, but the crossbow reload is a full round action while the bow is the typical move action. However, the bow is more difficult to use reflected by a -2HIT as well as requiring higher STR to use (HIT penalty for STR below 3.) If an arrow hits flesh, it can be recovered and reused. Missed arrows may get lost, or hit concrete or metal which would break them. I don't know about constructing your own arrows, if you can come up with a reasonable idea + tools then it may be possible. The bulletproof jacket: Offers no AC bonus, but gives 2/AP piercing protection. Does not protect against called shots to limbs or head. The SMG has a 20 round clip. The revolver holds 6 rounds, and reloading it is a full round action. (The Slight of Hand feat reduces full round reloads to move reloads, this applies to the revolver and crossbow.) The flask contained alcohol. As to shampoo, a bottle or two I guess? You guys haven't even taken a shower since we started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
