Well, that's helpful if I can buy it. Have to check if it actually is Magic though. GO, Knowledge Check!
Introduce myself to the chinese looking girl. Also ask about seeing that book from the cleric.
(do you mean clerk?)
Ren and Twil ask for the book. While he goes to get it, they strike up a conversation.
“So, you into magic too?.”
”yeah! who are you again? “Oh, my name’s Ren. What’s yours?”
” Mine’s Twilight, but you can call me Twili.”When the clerk returns with the book, Twili does a check of magic.
(Magic check: 2+1)
Twili’s magic check reveals nothing but the low hum of magic. At least it’s from the back room of the bookstore, no idea what it is though.
Ren looks at the book. It looks as though it’s written in German, and appears to say: “Monster töten”
((Ah, but Sam as yet has no field experience, so he doesn't know what's necessarily effective, beyond popular superstition. I'm sure he'll figure out the hard way.))
go to a general store type place, and buy 4 5 gallon jerry cans for spare gas. It's gonna be a long drive. Stop by the next door bookstore on my way out, see if there's anything good to read. Maybe there's a old copy of LOTR or The Hobbit! As an afterthought, grab my Webley and put it in my shoulder holster as I park the truck.
((I shall have a copy pasta file of my character sheet tomorrow, once I get on a computer. For now I have to use my phone, which is not easy to copy pasta with. Also, the back of my truck has one of those jeep style canvas tops with zipped up plastic windows, and benches, so people can come with me, or at least follow me, to Chicago.))
You find a tractor supplies. Inside, you buy 4 jerry cans, granting you an extra 20 gallons of liquid storage. -$32.68
Then, you go into the bookstore next door, and see two people already inside.
“Wow, didn’t realize bookstores were so busy this time of day.”
The clerk is busy, so you check out the shelves. You’re in luck! All of Tolkien’s books are here.
You buy a copy of the hobbit, and get back into your truck. -$20.00
Go buy two boxes of 12 gauge shells, then go and look for an abandoned warehouse to use as my base.
You go to tractor supplies, and buy some shotgun shells. It costs $30.00
Then, you check the surrounding area.
(Knowledge check 2+2) you find an abandoned warehouse. It’s filled with air, and you could probably fit a ship or two inside.
Wouldn't think that would be included in the standard set of guns and knives
If you already let me have it in my inventory, find some creature of evil to slay.
(3) you ask around, but don’t find anything supernatural. Oh well, better find an Internet cafe and do some
research.

Name: Samuel Martin
Appearance: 22, 5'10". Somewhat pale. Purple tinted black hair (dyed, obviously), violet eyes, and rectangular glasses. Wears an old US Army jacket, blue jeans, and a t-shirt of some kind. Combat boots for shoes.
Backstory: (Has been a while since I've watched Supernaturals, so I can't think of anything that fits in especially) Just bad luck got me into this I guess. That and a mildly unhealthy interest in mythology and the supernatural creatures that exist therein. Was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and saw a friend getting killed. Decided that rather than live in fear for all his life, he'd go and make these creatures live in fear of him... Or something.(I'll flesh this out in an hour or so) Crack shot with a pistol, owns a Webley MK6 and Ithaca M37 because of their ease of use and historical background. Loves anything WW2 related.
STR:1
DEX:2
KNW:2, Sam knows all of the basic knowledge of mythos (anything you can find with an hour's work on Wikipedia) and a lot of more arcane knowledge from obscure books (an even mix of fictional books and nonfiction mythological books)
Skills: Mechanic. Sam's fascination with history has led him to purchase and restore numerous old vehicles of historical significance. He also has a large pool of mostly WW2 vehicles that probably have illegal armaments. The hard part is getting permits to drive them.
Gun Nut: Again, Sam's WW2 interests means he has a number (like 30) of functional replica and original weapons from 1920-1950, some automatic, most semi. Lots of ammo for about half of them. He always carries his Webley and keeps the Ithaca in his truck
Vengeful Crusader: Sam's in this for the long haul. He wants to make sure he can be safe, and so can everyone else. He loves mythology, but when the monster jump out of the page and try to kill him, and succeed in killing his friend, well... Anyways, he has massive amounts of supplies, and just about everything he can think of that a monster would be weak to. He even as a crossbow with bolts of wood, for low risk vampire killing. He doesn't even know if vampires exist, he just wants to be ready.
Inventory: Webley MK6 .45 revolver, 5 speed reload clips of silver bullets.
M37 Ithaca slamfire shotgun (that means if the trigger is held down, it'll fire a shot everytime you pump it), with about 36 shells total, in convenient little holders.
2-way radio, and a spare radio on the same frequency, just in case.
Lock pick set. Knows how to pick simple locks, at least.
Silver paratrooper knife, and a silver plated kukri (essentially a machete).
Glasses, Canteen of water, 3 more in the truck, a flask of whiskey (for medicinal purposes I swear), and a pretty big medical kit.
3DS with about 6 games. 2 or 3 books. Smartphone. Two laptops: one for gaming and a more robust one for field work.
$969.00
Vehicle: M3 Scout truck, made by White Truck Company. Hidden under a tarp is the .30 cal M1919 that it has a mount for; obviously that's hilariously illegal, but they manufacture semi-auto versions of the 1919, so if anyone asks that's what it is. Back of the truck has seats and supplies. Sam's planned for a long trip.
