Oh, I got it. We can do that. Chino can drive, Doc can take shotgun (since he has one in his arm), and Ohanzee can be napping in the back. Ace optional.

@rednblack, would you kick off the trip into town with an IC post?

Shopping: ballistic masks or helmets (they don't stack), PPP armor, any other proposals?

While in town, Chino and Doc will find themselves curiously attracted to beer, potatoes, and oats. Chino may even make oatmeal with beer after he gets tired of Katsina's cooking.

I'm in and out with the jobby job today.  I'll try to get an IC up this afternoon/evening.

[Zweiblumen]

Sorry for my absence, I just noticed these were getting updated.  For some reason I wasn't getting my notifications

Doc can make the proposed date change.  I'll get an IC post up late this evening.  Work's been busy

[Tecumseh]

Sometimes the forum has a senior moment and doesn't send me notifications either. It's annoying.

Having IC posts up tonight would be great. In the meantime, do people have wish lists for equipment? I'm not thinking of anything that Katsina wants/needs.

[Zweiblumen]

I'm good on equipment AFAIK.  Maybe some rounds for the shotgun, but I think he's fired it maybe once?  And while it's only been one day, always good to grab some more food type things while we are in town.

[Malevolence]

I'm good.

[rednblack]

Sorry all. Real life is hectic. We've got some big changes in the job and I'm without Internet access for most of the day. I'll try to get caught up here soon.

As for equipment Ace wants a ballistic mask and Sam needs ammo. Unsure about PPP, but I'll get an IC up before tackling the shopping list.

[Tecumseh]

My wife and I will be on vacation for the next couple weeks, our last before Junior arrives in a couple months. (Due date is two months from today).

I should have internet access the whole while except for the days spent driving. First driving day is tomorrow so I'll be offline until late.

Today is a bit bonkers, trying to get everything squared away at work and at home. Not sure if I can post today; the weekend is more likely.

Next step is we need a post driving Ohanzee, Doc, and Chino into town. This can come from anyone on that crew. If nobody does it by the weekend, I'll do it.

Shopping list: Chino's old armor was scorched by the fire spirit he punched so he could use some new rags. Urban explorer jumpsuits are hard to find in rural ranching towns so he might have to settle for a lined coat or an armor jacket.

[Poindexter]

Ok, things are looking up again.
Over the next day or two I'm gonna read everything I missed and get back to it.

Thanks for being patient.

[Tecumseh]

Welcome back, Poindexter. Your sabbatical had the good timing to coincide with Sam sleeping in-game, so that was convenient.

Ace wants to learn more about The Infected. Luckily, Katsina knows a bit and has the Instruction skill! I'm going to roll it, not because it's mechanically necessary but because it's good for RP.

Instruction: 4d6t5 0 hits

My Charisma 3 vampire isn't the most gifted teacher. Regardless, Ace can still remember what Katsina taught him pre-amnesia.

I originally had this knowledge skill obscured on her sheet so as to not give away any clues about her true nature. Now that it's out in the open, I'll update her sheet.

The road trip will commence shortly.

[Tecumseh]

Chino's driving test: Pilot Groundcraft: 11d6t5 2 hits

He actually needs to do better than that, given the conditions. The nanites will try to encourage his sense of self-preservation.

Nanite Volume: 6d6t5 2 hits

That adds 2 to Reaction. Rolling those dice:

Reaction boost: 2d6t5 1 hit

That's enough to avoid slamming into a tree, although barely. Chino will take 2 boxes of stun when the effect wears off in six seconds. He'll be less brash for the remainder of the drive.

Chino's Firearms knowledge skill is high enough to identify the guns seen around town.

You're at the store. Ohanzee can roll Etiquette to help break the ice.

[Tecumseh]

Mal says he won't be able to post until late Tuesday or Wednesday.

I don't intend the shopping trip to be very time intensive. If Doc or Chico wants to speak up, we can move forward. Camp RP is also available.

I'm on vacation so I have good availability to post. Give me something to work with.

[Zweiblumen]

Hope I didn't take the CFD thing too far.  Lemme know if you want me to edit that back some.  I didn't bother rolling for info as this is happening before there's been much info out there.  I feel he'd need to spend some serious time actually hacking into Proteus at this stage to really find anything (something for after the run is actually finished?)

[Malevolence]

If the guy presses, Ohanzee will spin some tale about them being brought in to help deal with some awakened fauna that are harassing the livestock on the local farms. He'll message Doc to find a suitable farm on the outskirts of town and get some owner information so he can use names and locations to flesh out the accuracy of his story.


Etiquette (Cha 6 + Etiquette 6): 12d6t5 3


Adjust accordingly depending on whatever modifiers you feel are appropriate.

[Tecumseh]

@Zweiblumen: Your post is great. No need for corrections.

@Malevolence: The man is suspicious (-1) but Ohanzee wants to spend money which is advantageous to the salesman (+1). Those offset, so he'll roll to resist 3 hits.

Perception + Charisma: 5d6t5 4 hits, goodness, he is the suspicious type. He is now Prejudiced instead of Suspicious.

@Mal, you can roll your Con story if you want to try and improve his attitude, or you can just grin and bear it.

@Everyone: I'm not sure I have a complete shopping list. Chime in if we're missing anything:
Ace: helmet (¥100) or ballistic mask (¥150) + SecureTech PPP (¥900 for a full set)
Doc: helmet or ballistic mask (same as above)
Chino: armor
Sam: armor (optional) with chemical protection (Doc/Katsina's solution of BoPEP blanket sewed into his clothing protects Sam's armor, but inhibits stealth)

Ballpark is ¥2,000, presuming you don't buy anything for Sam. You have enough to afford two extra sets of PPP if you want, with enough leftover to buy groceries for another day, but then you'll be broke after that.
