"Hmm. Note to self.... be careful how I say that name. You can summon demons by saying their names, right?" Moderately certain that he's used up his bad luck for now, but suspicious of how well the encounter went, Sam heads back into his motel room.
. Lock the door, shove something in front of it (do the whole 'stick chair at an angle under doorknob' thing to keep people from opening said door, if possible) and also check all my gear. Grab some energy drink, my laptop, and some comfy pillows; time to lore dive and see if I can learn what urban myths there are about this area. Also search information about supernatural beings in general.
“Who ‘re ye talking ta?” Some random bum says.
”none of your business.”You hand him a dollar.
You get yourself real locked up, and the only way in or out now is through the window. Hmmm. Google, demons, skip the Bible crap, here’s a promising site! Huntersonline.com. Not sure what that means, but it sure isn’t for animals. Huh. It says to decapitate vampires? This is probably bunk.
There’s a search bar, use?
"Hello everyone I'm not really sure what happened but I think my accelerator pedal got stuck, then I blew a tire, and lost control, and flipped several times."
Accept any offers for help flipping the van over, and offer to pay anyone who helps twenty dollars each.
“Sure. I’ll tow your car to the mechanic. “
”Thanks!”You decide to watch as he flips the car over with a jack, and toss it to the mechanic. You hand him a twenty dollar bill and wait for the mechanic.
Build a fire at the mouth of the cave, try and smoke the beast out.
[3] you find some wood, and it’s reasonably dry, but you forgot the tinder! And the lighter. Tough luck. Anyway, you realize the wind is coming out of the cave, so it wouldn’t work anyway.
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: Just bad luck got him 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... 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.
$928.00
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.
