"...Well, now.  This is quite the haul.  It'll be difficult to carry all this equipment back, even without risking ourselves fighting the bug, or getting more loot off of it.  In light of that, I think we should head back now.  What say all of you?"

Take an industrial tunic and wear it.  Take the arclamp, bait, stimulant, and whistles, then store them all in the autocage.  Take the liquidoplas bomb, stacking it with the one Kander already carries.  I'd like if you confirmed that Kander's inventory is legal--I already edited this into the sheet.

Strongly nudge Xeriay towards grabbing the death ray, and Steve towards taking the specimen containers.

Quote from: Remaining lootables
1 Autoharness.
3 Specimen Containers
1 Industrial Tunic
2 Biogel
1 Death ray
1 Galactic Slugger
1 Compression blaster loaded with what looks like gasoline.


Spoiler: Kander (click to show/hide)
Your inventory is currently legal. The autocage isn't considered "Held" as it follows you around. The bombs don't stack though. They're a bit too big for it.

Take a biogel to replace the one I used.

Done.

Drop my dinky thermaray for the death gun.

Spoiler: Xeriay (click to show/hide)
Done. The death ray does feel much more weighty and powerful in your hands. More able to crush your enemies. Or rather, to cut them into multiple steaming chunks.

Go aid the guys fighting the squid thing with my own therma-ray.

Blast with therma ray.  If it gets within range, punch it with my martial arts fist attack.  Claim galactic slugger, biofuels, and an industrial tunic.

"Sorry bout that, I snoozed off there for a second. Is that squid supposed to be so big and aggressive, by the way?"

Go help fight the squid. Keep my distance and try to take a shot at it with my therma ray

Death ray the giant monster

"Yaaaaaa!"

Spoiler: Maxwell Hardberger (click to show/hide)
[8][1][6][1][4]
Jim, Bob, Hlaine, and Maxwell all swarm across the island, scrambling over the uneven metal surface until they get Anton and his attacker in view. Anton, along with Hlaine, Bob and Jim all unleash rapid volley's of therma-ray fire, pelting the exposed tentacles and the surface of the sludge with packets of heat. Max shoulders his rifle and presses the trigger, sweeping the resulting beam of bright red light back and forth across the alien limbs and the sludge around them. For the first several seconds everything seems to be going perfectly fine; the alien sludge beast's rubbery flesh boils and bursts with purplish gore as the therma rays hit, before one of its tentacles is hacked clean through by the Death Ray. And then, under the onslaught of heat and concentrated energy, the sludge catches fire.  That fire, a horrendous yellow-green blaze, spreads out within a fraction of a second, covering an area 10 feet in diameter over the sludge beast and right up to the shore. It burns for about another half second, and then the surface of the sludge swells into a flaming bubble and bursts like a napalm hand grenade.

[5][5][3][6](Hlaine speed up)[7][-5 HP Anton]
Everyone scrambles wildly from the splatter of flaming toxic waste, diving behind  pipes and scrap. Anton, the one closest to the blast, is the only one who gets splattered with any of the burning chemicals, which scorch small craters in the flesh of his shoulders and arms, scouring small marks on his helmet as well. After a few moments the group peeks from its hiding places and surveys the scene.

The sludge beast is well and truly dead: the sludge detonated directly on top of it after all. Bits of tentacle and other flesh is floating here and there, still burning with odd colored flames. A huge serrated beak, like a bear trap made of bone and flesh, lays on the beach, trailing part of a digestive tract.  The sludge bubbles and burps flame a few more times before finally extinguishing itself.

Carefully search the island for anything interesting while waiting for people to take the boat to distant shores.

Put the biogel into the autocage, along with Kander's arclamp, logbook, and oxygen mask.  If they don't fit... drop them.  They're worth substantially less than the loot.  Take the compression blaster, autoharness, and industrial tunic (filling the freed inventory spaces).

Then head back to town.  We don't even have enough inventory space for this loot, going and hunting a bug when we can't carry anything more seems foolish.

"How we gonna split all this money?"

Get the boat ready to go, by shooting a line back to 'shore' such that the wreckage piece can be used as a line.

Mh. Give Kandar one of my biogel and wear the new autoharness.
I mean, not like having an extra heal will help if I fall from far enough.

Then go back to the camp. To the market so that we can sell extra equipment.

Spoiler: Kander (click to show/hide)
Terra, Xeriay and Kander shuffle some items around, eventually having to leave their oxygen mask behind when it wouldn't fit in their autocage. After they have everything carefully packed away they trundle back out of the jungle, loaded down with loot. As they follow a rough path back through the knee high plants on the outskirts of the engine jungle they notice that its starting to get a bit dimmer than before. The red sun is moving ponderously towards the horizon and the burning heat of midday is starting to reduce, just a bit. Thankful for a minor reprieve, they continue hauling their loot through the Shipbreaker's camp and over to the Iron Road. Though its getting later the Iron Road is busier than ever; street side food vendors are filling up with Guild apprentices, locals, and other would be treasure seekers. More of those snake people are coming out now, wrapped in robes and cloth that cover most of their bodies, but leave their many limbs sticking out. One of the snakes is coiled around an enormous Sitar like instrument and is playing an impossible melody with at least 6 hands.

Xeriay immediately begins searching for the best method of reselling the loot, leaving her pack with the other two who simply sit and rest against one of the scrap and concrete buildings. [6] (Xeriay Perception leveled up). She wanders the market for at least an hour, peeking into shops, checking price boards, eavesdropping on other groups at cafes and food stands, and casually talking with vendors. After she thinks she has a full picture of the market, she returns to Terra and Kander. She explains that a lot of what they have to sells is unfortunately quite common. A lot of new arrivals have it, a lot of it ends up back on the market. Vendors will buy it, but not for much. If they want to maximize profits they're better off selling below vendor price to the locals over at the camp to the northwest, or to new arrivals. They'll never get full vendor price BUT if they sell to individuals they could still get 70-80% instead of 50% or worse.

Spoiler: Jim (click to show/hide)
Jim jots down his best interpretation of the creature from what he saw and what others tell him. Its very much incomplete, but better than nothing.  He estimates the size of the creature at about 30 feet long, if tentacles are included. The main body is still nothing but a guess based on squid and octopi.

"How we gonna split all this money?"

Spoiler: Maxwell Hardberger (click to show/hide)
We'll assume the shot was a success but can you explain what you mean by "Back to Shore"? From the boat back to the pipe island? From the pipe island to the far shore in some direction? From Boat to far shore?

See if the beak is small enough to carry with me.

Then keep an eye out for trouble.


Spoiler: Hlaine (click to show/hide)
The beak of the creature, once the trailing remnants of the throat are cut away, is about as long as your arm. Wrapped with wire to hold it close and strapped to your pack though, its not too terrible to carry.

[2][7]
Bob continues his losing streak by finding nothing worth taking in his search of the island. Anton, however, does find something. Its a small metal object about the shape and size of a tongue depressor. It has an inscription in an indecipherable alien language on one side and a small square...crystal? On the other with what looks like a droplet of purple fluid suspended within.  There is a small circular hole at the other end, like you'd expect to see for something designed to hang on a keyring or necklace. Its has a solid and very reassuring weight to it and seems important somehow.
