(As far as phases, they will be split into Morning-Day-Night-Late Night)

Day 1 – Morning

Chaplain Eve, Mr. Allbright, Scrubber, and James sit in a circle around a table with a radio and a flashlight on it. It is an extremely grim day when you know you will die soon, and Allbright has called the men together to try and come up with solutions – while dividing up the very few rations they have left. Allbright opens up a pack of cigarettes, takes one, and passes the pack. He then opens up a rations box to find a lone Twinkie. Obviously disappointed, he breaks in into fifths and passes around the the sorry last supper, saving one for the Nurse, who was taking a nap in her secluded Vault room. They were sure her door was lined with traps, as she had been quite protective of herself since she had become the last female resident left in Vault 207. They all look at the huge Vault door in the room, frightened of what they know they must do: Leave or die here.

Allbright: If it wasn't for that damned freak killing Frank, Sarah, and Mary, we would still be fine! Don't know why we ever let 'em in here....

Scrubber: They shoulda stuck 'em in a chamber like I was for a couple hundred years....

Chaplain Eve: God is still with us even with the unfortunate events of this past year. My father used to tell me what it was like out there – in that Wasteland – the horrors....would you all like to hear a prayer to calm your souls?

James: --silence--

Allbright: Father? More like creator – and shut up with the prayer $#!% already....No food, no power, no women, well, besides Haviland....I don't think God's on our side....(looks at James, who is silently reading something to himself under the dim light of the flashlight) What the heck are you reading about anyways? It better be a way to open that door!

James: (turns around, facing his back to everyone) –silence--

Scrubber: Hey, he's talkin' to ya, boy!

Allbright and Scrubber erupt into a shouting match aimed at James, who refuses to say anything....Chaplain Eve ignores Allbright and goes into prayer....chaos ensues until the loudest crash that any of these poor souls have ever heard in their life knocks them off their feet. Surely the crash awakes the slumbering Nurse Haviland in her room close by.

At first the bright light is dizzying – as none of them have ever seen true sunlight before, but slowly their eyes adjust. Chaplain is thrilled by thinking that his prayer has opened the door and stands to his feet to praise God....a bullet tears through his leg and he falls back to the ground. Wild screams echo the room and three figures dash into the room with equally wild hair, feral markings on their bodies and fearsome spikes lining their shoulders. Still dizzied from the blast – none of our Vault friends have time to react.

The raiders circle the room ready to slit throats and grab loot when a fourth, shadowy figure enters the hole in the wall. The man, covered in blood, runs and lunges at the first wild man and rips his right arm from his body, leaving the man to scream and bleed out. The other two charge him with knives but the creature dodges with skillful agility. He headbutts one, knocking him unconscious and stealing the other's knife with his free hand, cuts the throat of the downed raider while kicking the newly disarmed one in the kneecap. Fearing his life, he runs as fast as he can away from the creature out into the blazing sun. By this time, Chaplain Eve has drawn a gun, and has pointed it at the creature.

Scrubber: It's Stone!

Allbright: Scrubber! Check on Antonia!

Covered in blood once again, there is a stand-off between Stone and the group. He is standing in the doorway, about to run after the last Raider, but he pauses and stares at Allbright. Chaplain has a shot lined up. Scrubber is speechless, and runs to check on Nurse Haviland. James tries to shake off the dizziness and is bleeding from the back of his head after falling. Allbright thinks of the situation...being saved by the one that had doomed them....

Stone: I may have killed those people....but I wasn't the one who cut your power....

You may all post about the situation at hand in an orderly manner. I will end discussion after the story progresses a little bit.

Game info:
Also, you can move faster than 1 square a day. When moving out in the wild, you can move 1, 2, or 4 squares a phase. 4 is running, and will tire you out. 2 is brisk, and will tire you out only slightly. 1 is walking slowly.

Oh and the fives levels of exhaustion/hunger:
Hunger: Starving/Very Hungry/Hungry/Full/Well-fed
Exhaustion: Extremely Tired/Very Tired/Tired/Fine/Well-Rested

Abilities will go up Oblivion style, with things raising the more you use them.

Combat: For every 10 points in a weapon skill, it increases damage done when using that type of weapon by +1. Having 17 in Guns, for example, will give you +1 damage when using them.

Effects of crippled limbs:
Head: -4 Perception, +25% chance your attacks miss
Arm: -2 Strength, chance to drop things you are holding, -1 combat action point
Body: -2 Endurance
Leg: Slower speed, -2 Agility

Called shots: If your enemy is within close range of you, you can call shots instead of just shooting at different modifiers to hit than normal, or you can just take generic shots and hope for the best
Called shot Head: -25% hit chance
Called shot Arm/Leg: -10% hit chance
Called shot Body: +5% hit chance

If a body part is already crippled, calling a shot on it and hitting will give you a +25% critical hit chance
If you are hidden/sneaking and they don't see you, the first hit you make on them is a critical hit
Three critical hits in a row is an automatic kill

During Combat:
You may take a number of combat actions equal to half your agility. If your agility is 8, you can pop off 4 shots with your pistol. Different guns may change this, such as the hunting rifle will take 4 combat action points or other big guns may also take more than 1. Reloading small guns takes 3 combat action points, except for guns with elaborate reloading processes, which may take more.

After checking on the nurse I will also search the bodies of the wild men.

"Can we get the power back on? Who cut the power, Stone?"

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 18:58

Before you can reach the Nurse, she meets you in a corridor. The crash triggered her explosive trap lining her door, blowing the door clear off. You meet up with her, and go back to the main Vault Door room, where the stand off is still taking place.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 19:02

I'll check the bodies as well, hopfully finding something to repair my leg. After scrounging through the raiders possessions, I too will join in on checking the nurse.
"The lord will watch over us, this flesh wound is just a test of my faith."

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 19:08

The have ragged and dirty clothes, probably not a good idea to use those things as bandages.

Antipathy

01/15/2009, 19:10

I also search the bodies of the wild men.

"Nurse Haviland, can you staunch my bleeding?"

Antipathy

01/15/2009, 19:14

Sidenote: This is my first RPG, so bear with me here if I do anything wrong.

I search for the gun of the first wild man and any ammo he had on him.

(Can I do that?)

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 19:19

Someone has searched the bodies and taken all they had on them. One of them is running away as we speak.

Antipathy

01/15/2009, 19:20

I chase after the one running away.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 19:22

Ok, but your head will still be bleeding, as no one did anything to it.

d_knight7

01/15/2009, 19:23

I draw a laser pistol, lay it on my arm and sight at the guy running away, before firing.

"I don't know who turned off the power, but they probably aren't friendly. By the way, thanks for looting my kills for me."

Antipathy

01/15/2009, 19:25

Ok, but your head will still be bleeding, as no one did anything to it.

Hm, never mind then. Guess I'll have to get healed up first.

Unless I can't take it back.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 19:36

I'm new to the whole rpg games too. I guess I'll check on the nurse to see if she can heal up my leg. After that I will chase the runner, peacemaker in hand ready to fire if necessary.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 19:39

Anti, you can chase after him, but you will be considered as having a crippled head. It's your choice. You can take it back. He might not wait around until after you guys are healed though. I would like to hear from Allbright and the Nurse, especially if Stone is drawing a weapon. (After this initial chaos unfolds, things will be more structured.)

darius_dax1

01/15/2009, 19:45

"We will probably not be able to catch up with the runner. We need to get those wounds looked at.

Sorry about looting the bodies...there were only a couple of knives and these shoulder pads. I can probably repair one set of them."

Antipathy

01/15/2009, 19:52

I'll wait to have my head healed.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 20:14

Ill wait to have my leg healed as well.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 20:35

Ok let's wait a while for Foxfire and JackA to jump in then.

JackAssterson

01/15/2009, 20:48

Sounds like the nurse has stuff to do right off the bat. :speechles

Given that we're in a nice big group, I can help motivate the nurse as she tends your wounds. My throat gets sore after a lot of jawboning, though, so it'll be around 24 hours before I get motivated to motivate again.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 20:56

I was more looking for a response since you have a gun pointed at Stone, and he just drew a weapon.

d_knight7

01/15/2009, 21:07

Well I contemptuously turned my back to him as I drew, so I obviously wasn't threatening him.

If he wants to try shooting me in the back and play a game of who falls down first he's certainly welcome though :grin:

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 21:13

Well it's good to check if he read the opening because he said nothing about lowering his gun from your face. Anyways, so you take a shot?

JackAssterson

01/15/2009, 21:21

Well it's good to check if he read the opening because he said nothing about lowering his gun from your face. Anyways, so you take a shot?

Where in the opening does someone have a gun in someone's face? I'm lost.

If someone'll just quote me the relevant bit I'll work from there.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 21:25

Wow, I meant to say Chaplain. He has a shot lined up on Stone. It has to do with the whole killing people and leaving thing that they prolly don't like you Stone.

JackAssterson

01/15/2009, 21:26

Wow, I meant to say Chaplain. He has a shot lined up on Stone.

Okey dokey.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 21:32

I'll holster my gun then. See if we can get everyone rounded up for a gameplan.

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 21:42

Note on bandaging vs. stimpaks: bandages will last half a day on average and stimpaks auto heal a crippled area.

For anybody new to RPGs: It's part choose-your-own-adventure, part play.

The GM or game master creates the setting and all the NPCs (non-player characters) in "his" story.

You create the actions (and some of the narrative) for your character as well as all the dialogue your character speaks.

You might have noticed that d_knight7 and I have used quotation marks "" around the parts our characters speak (perhaps we should just use the quote function instead....might be fun). Those are things our characters are actually speaking to the group. The rest of what we write is generally the actions our characters take or some other narrative we may want the rest of you to know.

Any other thoughts or actions should be PMed to the appropriate party...especially if you want it to remain secret...like the knife I now have pointed at d_knight7's kidneys...j/k;).

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 21:51

So we PM sneaky stuff to the GM? I'm just winging it, cuz I got no idea how these work. So far it seems pretty straight forward though.

OOC example:

My hand flashes out and grabs I.C. Weiner's wrist, breaking it in 2 places and removing the knife.

"Little boys shouldn't play with sharp things"

----------------

OOC stands for Out Of Character, and signals that your post is an out of game question or statement. This stops people from becoming confused, or the GM thinking you're doing an action.

The text block following it describes an action, in this case asserting my macho authority over a lesser male, much like a powerful alpha male Lion.

The quotation marks show that my character is speaking, in this case being a damned sexy and suave bad-###.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 22:01

Ok. Let's get back to the story. Last thing was me lowering my gun and attempting to call a meeting to establish a gameplan.

"Let us all come together, we can get through this with teamwork."

NurseFoxfire

01/15/2009, 22:22

[OOC] Holy HELL this game moves fast! I may not be able to keep up with the pace if you're planning on playing this quickly (I have a very demanding job with a 60 mile commute). If the pace is going to be this rapid I may have to bow out, but I'll keep playing as long as I can until you can find a medic to replace me, if you'd like. If the game settles down to where I could do a few posts a day, that would be awesome!

It's my fault really, for thinking it'd be a game like SUPERPOWER where everyone makes a move via PM. No worries, like I said, I'll try my best and feel free to boot me :)

On to the game now:

Item 1)
Note on bandaging vs. stimpaks: bandages will last half a day on average and stimpaks auto heal a crippled area. How do bandages work? If they only last 1/2 day, does that mean they're not actually healing the wounds? Just need clarification on that.

Item 2)
I can see there're going to be repercussions playing a Doctor when my login name is Nurse :D Y'all managed to call me Nurse repeatedly throughout this thread and I didn't spend eight years in medical school to be insulted like that! ;)

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 22:25

OOC: We should probably slow it down a little bit. I'm all free tonight, but I'm usually working too. Maybe a couple (scenes) a day at a set time?

NurseFoxfire

01/15/2009, 22:27

I run into the room carrying my medical bag.

"Damnit, what's going on here?!"

I notice two bleeding men, one with a head wound that I start to treat immediately.

darius_dax1

01/15/2009, 22:33

I was going to suggest that we are only allowed 3 (or so) posts each session and the session doesn't end until everyone gets a post. I think most of what went on in the thread has been chattering. It's still pretty much Act 1, Scene 1.

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 22:37

"Nurse please help me next, my leg has suffered a nasty wound."

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 23:15

After this, it will be a lot slower. I just chose to open this way. Are you wrapping his head up or using a stimpak on it?

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 23:21

It's gonna get traditional, with morning/day/night/late night phases and actions being handed in and stuff like that. If want to tell me what you use on the head and what you use on the leg we can get done with this morning, as this was just a warm-up.

NurseFoxfire

01/15/2009, 23:31

After this, it will be a lot slower. I just chose to open this way. Are you wrapping his head up or using a stimpak on it?

OOC
Could you clarify for me how a bandage works? I'm confused about the half-day healing you described it having

Hellfire117

01/15/2009, 23:34

Yeah, what good is the half day healing if we won't be on again until tomorrow?

NurseFoxfire

01/15/2009, 23:35

"Nurse please help me next, my leg has suffered a nasty wound."

I cough and tap meaningfully at my badge which reads Doctor de Haviland.

"As soon as I finish patching up this guy's head I'll be right there.

By the way, anyone want to tell me what's going on? Why is there a hole in the wall?"

hellskingpin

01/15/2009, 23:44

d_knight7

01/15/2009, 23:59

It will take away the negative effects of a crippled limb for half a day. Like, if your left leg is crippled as Chaplain's is, it affects his ability to walk and his agility. A bandage will hold the blood loss for a while - it might even last longer than 1/2 day.

OOC: Questions from the Doc (and me too, this all seems pretty confusing)

I understand the short-term affect of it stopping blood loss, but...
How does a limb get healed permanently if not by a doctor using bandages?

How do you know that it's a crippled limb and not just health lost?

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:01

I'll always tell you if one of your limbs gets crippled in a fight. Reaching Well-rested for your exhaustion level and stimpaks heal crippled limbs (for now, this will change as ones medical skills increase!)

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:04

Oh and if you haven't noticed, most of my explaining will be done as we go along. So ask questions.

d_knight7

01/16/2009, 00:05

OOC:

Great, thanks for the explanation.

The Doc will bandage the head wound, then the leg wound if she has time.

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:13

She has time. Let's structure this thing.

Day 1-Morning has ended
Both James's head and Chaplain's leg are considered not crippled.

Stone shoots 8 shots, the second one skims his head, the third takes a piece of his head off. But he escapes down the rocky hill.

Ok in case you all want to follow along, the map I made is 25 squares wide x 30 squares longs(letters going wide numbers going long :). You are starting at square Y11. During each phase you can move one square diagonally, vertically, or horizontally. Since you are all together, you may discuss openly. You may venture out or hang around the vault for a while for supplies/clues, but beware, they may be back. If you have any specific things you want to do during Day 1-Day, pm me them. I am going to send you all updated char sheets also.

Hellfire117

01/16/2009, 00:26

OOC: Who's shooting? I don't know what's going on :OOC

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:27

Stone shot at the fleeing raider.

Hellfire117

01/16/2009, 00:28

OOC: That nurse thing is hilarious; it's hard not to call you nurse with that screen name. :)

Hellfire117

01/16/2009, 00:31

Stone shot at the fleeing raider.

Oh, I thought stone was getting shot. How are we supposed to know if there are raiders?

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:35

"Wild men" = Raiders

Hellfire117

01/16/2009, 00:37

There not they! I know what a raider is. :)

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:38

My fault, I wasn't specific enough. I guess I assumed people knew spiked shoulderpads meant raiders.

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 00:44

This time is to discuss what you would like to do for Day 1-Day phase as group, while small talking and perhaps sharing secrets you may have already picked up. Or holding them....

darius_dax1

01/16/2009, 00:54

"We need to start searching for supplies. We need food, medical, and weapons if we are to survive more attacks like this one.

We should also look into repairing our power issue in this vault. If we cannot repair it then we need to scavenge what we can and get mobile. Perhaps find another vault and more survivors who might help us."

filler boooyaaaa

d_knight7

01/16/2009, 00:56

OOC:

Is there some way we can modulate how many resources we put in to an action? For instance, energy weapon ammo isn't too plentiful, plinking off 8 shots at a running goon seems kinda inefficient? (I just hope we find his corpse when we mosey out!)

Could you give a quick description of what we can do in various phases?

Like what types of actions can we do in each phase, how many actions per phase kinda thing?

:OOC

Stone puts away his pistol.

"He shouldn't get too far with a piece of his head missing, when we leave we can follow the brain matter"

He turns to the assembled people.

"I'm going to get me some supplies and then go and look for a town. If you goldfish want to come along make yourselves useful.

Sweet cheeks, why don't you rustle up some medical supplies. Clerk boy, check the supply closets. Holy roller, rustle up any grub. Old timer, try personnel quarters for anything useful. You, the quiet one, keep an eagle eye out for any more savages trying to sneak in. I'm going to check the armory.

We meet back here in an hour to divvy up any spoils.

Why are you all standing there gawping at me? Let's move, we don't want to spend the night here."

OOC:

Ok, thanks. I thought we were returning to the vault tonight, so I figured we might as well explore during daylight then scrounge for supplies at night.

This changes my action.

OOC

James gathers up any unbloodied clothes of the raiders for later use, moves the bodies into a side room, then finds a hiding spot where he can still see if anyone moves near the vault entrance. He keeps his gun at the ready.

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 03:10

Let's see what Mr. Vault Manager's actions are then.

JackAssterson

01/16/2009, 04:16

I'll assist in checking the armory. I should be fairly familiar with it -- maybe I can find some stuff to salvage.

d_knight7

01/16/2009, 12:01

OOC: Jack, I suggested you check the main supply room as that was your job in life and we don't want to spend more than a day here with people gunning for us. Diversification of labor and all that, us all doubling up on stuff is counter-productive.

If you check the main stores there might be things like canteens, batteries, a Geiger counter, essential stuff.

We're all meeting up after this turn to divvy up anyway. :OOC

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 13:52

I'll be sending out results shortly.

Hellfire117

01/16/2009, 14:20

Allbright, found a broken robot in the kitchen. Maybe our combine robotics skills can get this thing up and running.

hellskingpin

01/16/2009, 14:23

Day 1- Mid-Day
They all split up after orders from Stone, and Allbright was undecided on what to do. He felt weird taking orders from someone who just killed some of his friends, and he felt ashamed not taking any type of leadership when the situation had gotten crazy before. He looked to James, who was on watch duty, holding a pistol to the outside.

Allbright: “Where the hell did you get a gun from?”
James: --looks to Allbright, then looks away again--

Allbright decides to take some action and goes towards the armory the way Stone had gone....

One Hour Later
Everyone returns minus Antonia, who you assume will be back shortly.
Stone: “Let's see what we got here everyone....”
(swap meet time)

d_knight7

01/16/2009, 15:18

OOC: The Doc should have her move up in an hour or two, work has the servers down :OOC

Stone returns, wearing a nice clean Security outfit.

"This goes against my better instincts, especially considering you feebs stood by and let your pals use me as a science project, but I'd like this little family to start off on an honest foot.

There's a temptation to horde things for ourselves and be sneaky, but that's a sickness that will lead to disaster down the line. If I was smart I'd take what I have and the loot from those Raiders and hightail it, but having someone to take a watch might be good for a change.

So..."

Stone empties out 3 security helmets, 3 batons, a bloody Vault suit and a package of 10mm bullets on to the floor.

"Now, what's the haul from the Raiders and the rest of this crummy joint?"

JackAssterson

01/16/2009, 15:42

I checked out the Overseer's room and found da following:

A Hunting Rifle and two packages of .32 bullets.

Given that I have the rough hand-eye coordination of a headless Radroach, I wouldn't exactly mind relinquishing the Rifle to more skilled hands.

I definately DO wanna take a look at that robot, though.

I have adequate small gun skills, and could use the 10mm bullets for my peacemaker. I would be glad to take the hunting rifle as well, but if anyone else needs it be my guest. Like i said earlier, i found a broken robot in the kitchen. I could use some help lifting the heavy shelf leaning on the robot. I also found some forks, spoons, and plates, but i was unsuccessful in finding any food.

"Guns is my skill. I have an injured head."

James nods to Stone and Allbright as he takes the Hunting Rifle/.32 bullets and a security helmet.

Hellfire117

OOC: I realize Dax grabbed the Raider stuff, but he did in front of everyone, and I didn't think he put knives and a spiked shoulder pad in a napkin on a stick, like a hobo, and walked off with them. I'll leave it to Dax to lay out the spoils then :OOC

Stone looks down at the 'gun expert'.

"Just don't shoot any of us by accident."

He looks at James.

"That's a nice gun. I was going to take a turn at the hole, but considering you have all the firepower, keep a weather eye huh? You've got the range now

"Ok folks, seems like the Doc is still rooting out lollipops and band aids, we may as well make use out of the daylight too.

Preacher and Allbright are going to check out the robot. Logan how about checking the repair bay? I'm going to tear the personnel quarters apart. Let's get back here by dark, I guess we're spending at least one day here."

I also have my mop handle, toolbox, flashlight, and blueprints of the vault...but this stuff was mine from before.

From what I can tell the power was not cut off from the inside, as everything looks fine."

Is a shoulder pad even armor, or does it have some other effect? :OOC

You are in the Main Vault Door room. There is a Kitchen and various rooms of residence. There is a Command Center, attached to Command Center is Library and Main Storage Room. There is the Security Officers Equipment Room, Maintenance Room, Medical Bay includes Doctor Haviland's Room, Frank and Sarah's Room, and Dr. Eden's personal Office. There is the Overseer's Personal Office. There is also a commons area where you guys hang out sometimes. I might have missed some.

I'm waiting on darius and Anti's actions and then it will move to night.

Antipathy

01/16/2009, 22:26

I reckon since I'm a Shift Supervisor, I should be the one that goes to the Command Center to get stuff from the Storage room, in case the computer/5 mm guns are still active. This requires me to go to the Overseer's room first though. Stone, could you watch for raiders with your laser pistol?

But if everybody else thinks it's not worth the time to go to the Storage room, I'll maintain my original position while Stone scavenges for supplies.

OOC

I'm not sure how to communicate what I want to say while still staying silent. I can talk, I just choose not to most of the time, heh. :p

Stone looks over the plans.

"Ok Dunleaven, give me the Hunting Rifle for now and I'll cover the hatch, you go check out the control, library and supply rooms.

Eve and Allbright can see to the robot as planned. Logan, you still seem like the right choice to check out the maintenance room. The Doc is still looting the med bay obviously.

OOC: Hmm, If everything is working in the power room, why is the power out? The Vault has a fully internal power supply.

Yeah I know what you mean about the quiet thing Anti, I just figure necessity is driving us to be moderately less antisocial. As long as we still act surly or quiet most of the time I think it's fine :OOC

Aren't you more effective with the laser pistol though Stone? Energy weapons is your skill IIRC.

Stone smiles as he takes the Hunting Rifle, expertly working the bolt action to load a round.

"If it has a trigger I'm your man, peashooter or missile launcher. The Laser Pistol is a decent weapon, but it doesn't have the range or stopping power of this rifle. For now it's our best defense."

Day 1-Midnight
No one had passed on Stone's watch either. The inhabitants were beginning to feel safe, until....
James hobbled back into the Main Vault Door room, still pulling bullets out of himself.
James: The miniguns weren't supposed to be facing the inside! They weren't even supposed to be on! How the hell do they have power and we don't?

Dr. Haviland finally returned, baring new supplies for the group, Janitor returned with something less useful, and Allbright and the Chaplain returned with something very interesting in it's own right.

"We have good news and bad news and worse news.

Good news is, this Old Fashioned Mr. Handy robot is fixable. It's missing a couple of arms, but that shouldn't be any problem.

That's where the bad news comes in -- I don't have enough scrap metal to fix it up. I'd need about three more pounds of it to do the job right.

Then there's the worse news...it's missing its nuclear power center. That'll need to be replaced outright.

If we can scrounge all the spare parts, however, I should be able get it up and running."

(OOC: I'm not sure what this particular Mr. Handy can do, so I left that out of my dialogue -- I remember they can have flame throwers and whatnot, but I'm not sure what this particular model has on it)

"Aren't we surrounded by potential scrap metal? The Vault is full of metal, and we have a maintenance shop.

"While there's a lot of bit and pieces around here, most of it's solid steel or titanium and we won't be able to break that down easily. Trust me, I've tried in the past.

We could probably break down some of the stuff into the kind of bits I'd need -- if someone wants to spend some time either hacking at scrap or looking around for more manageable bits.

As for nuclear power core units, I think I remember seeing one in the Storage Room behind the Command Center. That was where the "N's" were kept, anyway."

"You fill me with confidence Allbright. Let's just hope the guns don't fill me with lead"

OOC: I included Logan because he has repair, but would repair be used for stuff like cutting power cables and shorting circuits? Or would it just be Jack's computer and robotics?

I know you've got repair too hellfire, and if a third person is needed you should totally help out, but I'm thinking the other repair guy should work on scrap. We have uses for it beyond repairing the robot.

If Logan is superfluous too we should have a scrap duo working :OOC

hellskingpin

01/17/2009, 19:06

Computers would be used to find the right wire that corresponds to the turret guns, but anyone could go in and start beating up the mainframe and kill all the power (like you guys had any to begin with).

I've since returned from the Medical area after having salvaged some medical supplies.

I go over to James and treat him.
"I suggest you lie down right now and get some sleep. Full bed-rest is the best thing to get your health back.

Also, I went through almost my entire stock of bobbypins getting these medical supplies (I use bobby pins to pick locks). It may be possible to use some cutlery such as forks as scrap metal to modify into bobby pins, and does anyone have bobbypins that they're not using?"

OOC

Dknights got a big PM box, he can lead

Naturally I'm biased since he's my husband, but we also have to consider the fact that Stone is the only one of us who's been outside the vault and he'll know how to get around the wilderness better than we will. So I second this motion.

/aside: "Ok honey, can I have my $50 now?" :grin:

Antipathy

01/17/2009, 19:49

So exactly how are we supposed to take down these turrets, with no explosives? Are we just going to shoot it with bullets and hope for the best? I don't think this is a feasible plan.

I mean, all I did was open the door and 20 bullets came out, with about 5 hitting me.

Then there's the fact that we have no food, and we need sleep as well.

JackAssterson

01/17/2009, 19:53

"I should mention that the doors the doors guarding the armory and the Main Storage Room are mini-versions of Vault blast doors, commanded only by High-ranking Vault Tec admin computers or the computer console right outside the doors.

"Assuming the rest of you are ok with me doing the organizing, here's my plan.

We were attacked, and more might come, so time may be of the essence. We're all fairly well rested, so I suggest we work through the night.

Dunleaven, you get some rest, we'll want you healthy when it's time for action.

Allbright, you neutralize the control room defenses via the computer controls.

Logan, Eve, you two gather what scrap you're able to and see if you can make some bobby pins and perhaps get the robot patched up. Don't forget the cutlery (and plates if they're metal).

Doc, you search the personnel quarters for anything useful. Maybe some female residents left bobby pins behind also.

I'll keep watch again.

Come morning we'll see about looking for some food."

"Two questions.

One, does that mean you can't hack in from an outside source?

Two, if you can't hack in, do the guns respond to any motion? If so our best bet is to throw/push something in (do we have any kind of trolley?), while I make a mad dash for the command desk"

According to blueprints there are two above the overseer's command desk, hanging from the ceiling, spaced not a lot apart.

OOC: So as BA as a phalanx would look (and I agree it would lol), I should be able to use the Doc's door as a shield to get under the guns and safely turn them off, yes?

It has the advantage that the one door is already off. These doors would probably be very difficult to remove. :OOC

Hellfire117

01/17/2009, 22:29

Sounds like a good idea. My only question is to what would be a better strategy: parting it for the robot, or reprogramming it? What are we going to use for the power source?

d_knight7

01/17/2009, 22:53

"As I see it, the turrets have a ton of potential uses.

Get control of them, and we can use the back rooms for safe resting with a sentry that doesn't sleep.

Then if we abandon the Vault we either try and mount the weapons on the robot, or break them down for scrap and ammo."

Hellfire117

01/17/2009, 23:01

I suggest either mounting them on the robot, or a stronger character carrying it like a minigun

hellskingpin

01/17/2009, 23:19

Even one of those things would be WAY too heavy for the robot. OOC: Phalanx does sound really BA. I actually forgot about the Doc's door being blown off, good thinking.

Do you have some final actions for me?

d_knight7

01/18/2009, 01:52

OOC: Door is too heavy, what about a table? It should be long enough, but light enough to carry a short distance with a harness. Plus you said most everything in the Vault is too tough for scrap, so it should hold up against small caliber rounds for awhile, right? If that's doable...

I go in to the control room, doing my best Captain America impression, turn off the guns, and check out the rooms beyond.

Allbright comes in after I've disabled the guns, and checks out the control room, hopefully pulling up useful information on the computer.

Logan works on salvaging scrap and making bobby pins (remember the cutlery here), so the Doc can open her door later on.

Eve keeps watch.

The Doc goes through the personnel quarters looking for anything useful, including bobby pins and clean sheets for bandages.

Dunleaven gets some rest and heals up. :OOC

Would it be better if Eve explores another room then searching for scrap? We'd find scrap metal all around the wastelands once we leave the vault, I think?

"The Doc has a medbay door she needs to open that can't be forced, and has no lock to shoot off. There might be scrap out there, but medical supplies are hard to find, and she needs bobby pins.

Besides, once we've gotten past the guns, and the Doc has taken the personnel quarters, that's everywhere searched."

Dknights got a big PM box, he can lead

*ahem* I have two comments that would work here:

"That's what she said"...or..."How would you know?"

That was where the "N's" were kept, anyway."

*GASP!*

OK fellas. I found this old shovel...but that's about it. I have a few bobby pins I will give to the good Doctor.

I think we should at least attempt to use the autoguns as a trap for the raiders should they come back...maybe trick them into believing we are near the command center so they go into the blazing guns, perhaps using up the ammo.

*hands the Doctor 5 bobby pins*

"As I said earlier, I think we turn them off till we can get control of them, then sleep in the back rooms at night as long as we stay, with the guns as sleepless sentries. Then when we want to leave the Vault we break them down for weapons or parts and ammo"

Well, now that the Doc has bobby pins, can she open the door and have Logan do something else (like explore the commons room or other places).

As far as skills go, it's kinda like Oblivion where they get better as you use them more. As far as creating weapons/traps, you can wait to learn how to make things from schematics or people or if you can think it you can propose it to me and possibly build it.

"I'm pleased to report that my last minute table gambit paid off, so no holes in my new clothes.

I shot out the power cables to the guns, so the control room is safe. Bad news is the computers were locked up and saying a Vault-Tec office had overridden our systems.

So the override has the power, guns, and doors to supply and the armory out of our control.

I set Allbright on finding out where the override originated, and then hopefully cutting us off. We'll have to see how he did.

All I found in the library were these 3 pre-war novels."

"Good work guys, we're making some good progress now."

"I think everything's been searched. I'm going to catch up on some medical reading right now."

I go over to a quiet corner of the room and read, waiting for the others.

"Well, I took a look at the computer, but as I don't have access, I'm not able to do diddly with it. The override is from an outside source --sorry."

d_knight7

01/18/2009, 19:20

"Damn!

Ok, it'll be light soon. Let's get down to business.

Allbright, see if you can find the hardline that links us to the outside. Logan, go with him and see if you can cut or short out the line so we return to internal control.

If you guys get us internal control, pull up the computers, search the armory and supply room, see if you can get the guns patched up.

That lot should keep you busy all day.

Doc, there's not much for you to do right now. Read your book and keep an eye over Dunleaven while he heals up. If anyone tries to come in without identifying themselves shout out. Dunleaven can wake up pistol blazing if needs be.

Eve, you come with me. We're going to go out looking for food, hopefully find us a dead Raider too. We'll try and be back by nightfall, and we'll call out as we approach, so try not to shoot us by accident."

You soft skins are going to have to get used to a day or two without sleep. You're in the real world now"

d_knight7

01/18/2009, 19:43

"I'm taking the rifle, hopefully I can shoot us some game. I want you and your 10mm to watch my back in case of Raiders or predators."

Stone tosses Eve a security helmet and the Raider shoulder pad.

"We'll get to work at sun up, so we can all grab about three and a half hour's sleep."

Dunleaven can take a short watch. I'll sit him up in his bed with the rifle, and turn the bed so he can watch the door without having to get up.

hellskingpin

01/18/2009, 22:27

Your moving his bed into the Main Vault Door room?

d_knight7

01/18/2009, 22:45

Your moving his bed into the Main Vault Door room?

OOC: We should all be sleeping in the main Vault room communally. Then if the lookout sees an intruder he can quickly and quietly wake us to help defend the entrance.

I'll also set up a small barricade at the door with a sturdy table. That way we have a firing position, and anyone charging has to clamber over the barrier. :OOC

hellskingpin

01/18/2009, 22:48

K, so you're moving all the beds into the Main Vault Door room and sleeping out the rest of the late night phase. Gotcha. Anyone object?

Day 1- Late Night phase has ended. Day 2-Morning has begun.

Nothing happens on Stones watch and you guys are as happy as someone could be with only 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Stone is starting to look visibly tired after his shift, with bags forming under his eyes.

I think we've explored every part of the Vault we can access, and there's no food here, so unless you guys still want to try to get to the armory/main storage area (which I think was locked down by an external Vault-Tec employee who wanted us to leave), then I say we go out and follow the trail of blood left behind by the wounded raider. I spotted the trail when I was on my watch yesterday.

Hellfire117

01/19/2009, 18:35

Ooc: Now that it's morning, do you want to venture out? I got some sleep, but stone should probably get some rest. Want to explore outside for a bit Antipathy? You can take the hunting rifle, I got my 10mm.

That sounds good. We'll follow the blood trail, and we can also scout out another place for us to sleep when we make our eventual move from the Vault.

I'll take the Geiger counter so we won't run into any serious radiation, and the shovel in case we find anything we need to dig up (unless somebody here needs it).

OOC

I'm not sure who has the hunting rifle, but I think they need to post that they'll give me the hunting rifle/bullets. Or is it automatically assumed this happens? Not sure how that works.

Antipathy

01/19/2009, 18:46

As for moving all the beds in the main room, wouldn't it be better if we slept in the Command Room? That has a door that can't be opened unless you have the Overseer's key, so if we sleep there then we don't have to have a guard awake, since they'd have to blast open the door to get to us.

OOC

I think that's how it works?

d_knight7

01/19/2009, 19:08

OOC: Is Dunleaven healed already? I'd have thought recovering from multiple gunshot wounds was more important than my beauty sleep.

Even if we cut the hardline, why would the override suddenly disappear? Maybe it's just me being ignorant, but I don't see how disconnecting the Vault from the outside helps anything. It's not like it's a continuous override, it's a one and done thing.

"We know Allbright can't get in to anything as we are, so it's worth a try. Maybe it is a continuing signal, and cutting the contact will let us access the computer. I certainly think it's worth the attempt, as we're not getting in to the armory and supply room without computer access, explosives or a powerful cutting tool.

If Allbright, in his professional opinion, thinks it's a waste of time then please let him speak up, and we can move on to abandoning this place."

I agree that a morning nap would leave you useless for the rest of the day. So I say we split up into two groups. Stone, Allbright, and me follow the raider's blood. Eve, Logan, and Doc go in another direction. (I think that's two even groups.) That way we can cover more ground, get more supplies, and meet back at the vault and the end of the day to determine which way we'll go tomorrow. If we do this, we'll need to carry the pile of supplies.

This leaves the Vault unprotected though. I don't see anything wrong with this, but maybe there's something I haven't thought of.

Course, this changes if we do need to find/cut the outside link, which in that case I say Eve and I follow the trail of the raiders, while Stone takes a morning nap, then spends the rest of the day guarding Allbright/Logan while they're outside, since they probably could be taken by surprise since they're focused on looking for the link. Doc could guard you during your morning nap, but then perhaps could search rooms again for supplies? I don't think we've looked at the commons room yet. Or maybe she comes with us, and Stone just guards Allbright/Logan for the whole day? Or does Allbright/Logan even need a guard?
