Another way to find companions: Each player-bear can, upon will, detect the location and identity of the nearest player-bear that is not in stealth-mode.Use charades to try to get Propane!Bear and Knife!Bear to find a paper and pencil, cause writing stuff down is much quicker then charades.
[2] Propane!Bear looks confused.
[1] Knife!Bear: "You want...tongs?"
(Extremely Loyal) Large Propane!Bear
(Favorable) Small Knife!Bear
The revolution against the oppressors cannot begin without others of similar minds. Search for those who would be sympathetic to my cause.
((Being in the youngest generation, you cannot search for specific player-bears (see page 2), but automatically know the nearest location of one, and their identity (see above).))
((EDIT: Whoops. Actually, conein's bear was younger than yours.))
The nearest player-bear is Kevak. Enter the warehouse he is in through the back door, and see him pantomiming something to two other bears: the small one is made out of kitchen gloves, and has a steak-knife for a hand; the large one is molded out of a propane tank.
What's on the other side of the door?
((Whoops. I completely missed that. You can take two actions next turn to make up for it, which is enough to make it to the edge of town.))
You see a driveway, which joins a dirt road flanked by trees. It leads down a steep incline to the edge of the suburbs below.
You also see an unlocked shed, and an old, abandoned car.
Check the nearest house.
You notice the garage door of the nearest house has a 1-ft gap beneath it. You decide to check there.
[4] Inside you find the following things of interest: a spare lawnmower blade, a dozen target darts, a toolbox, and technicallyAdventurer holding a 1-ft length of pipe (non-threatening).
"Mghhh"
TEAR EYES OUT WITH PEN KNIFE
((You scream "Mghhh," because you cannot talk, only scream))
[1] The teen bats the penknife onto the ground, cutting his hand, screaming even louder, and faints from exhaustion.
[2] You hear a clamor as both his parents rush down the hall to check on him.
Small container of pins
Lighter
Crawl into the vents.
[6] You do so like a ninja.
You are now in the ceiling ventilation shaft. You hear a confused clamor from the cockpit.
[Notification]
You encounter wipeout1024 during your search of the basement. He is holding a revolver, but looks non-threatening.
You have the 1-ft length of pipe in your hands.
