Posting to join wait list.

The problem I see with going to both the hardware store and the hospital is that they're on opposite sides of our starting position.  Even if we went together, it'd take us a whole turn to get there, meaning we'd only have half a turn to search.  When I was looking for places to go, one of the criteria was that they needed to be close together, so we'll still have time to do stuff when we get there.  However, I think that tomorrow, going to the hardware store would be an excellent idea.  It only takes 1/2 a turn to get there from the water tower, so we could spend a whole turn searching and then a whole two turns fortifying the tower, which will probably make it fairly safe.  Then we could hit up the diner or the apartments for food and other supplies the day after.

i vote for this plan! but dont go to the gun store, really people most likely already went there. Lets go to diner for some food or we could go to the cathedral

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

And I already have a gun.

[Scood]

all right frelock thats a sound plan. ill just follow you. hopefully the gun shop owner doesnt ask for some good old fashioned cola. (l4d2 ref.)

[monk12]

Good plan, Frelock. I plan to move as stealthy as possible through all actions. Given my lack of fortification ability, I plan to spend that last bit of action exploring the area in the immediate vicinity of the water tower. Clear lines of fire, check for potential bolt holes, and generally know that bit of ground VERY WELL. Again, stealthily as possible.

Also, zombies are attracted to sources of light, yes? Our engineer type people could exploit this to make a LFD style Pipe Bomb. Glows brightly, then explodes.

CONTINGENCIES: If we hit trouble at the hospital, fight it out. If we hit trouble at the gun shop, I attempt to flee to the water tower. If there is zombie trouble at the water tower, fight if success is at all possible, call for reinforcements. If there is people trouble at the water tower, talk it out.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Kilakhan, we're waiting on you.

[kilakan]

I agree with Frelock's plan.... though I think we may run out of gas without stopping at a station, but anyways.
I'll drive the group where they want to go, and attempt to keep me and the van hidden from zombies, cover them while they loot and help them load stuff into the van t each stop.  Attempt to find myself a hunting rifle and ammo for it and my magnum at the gunstore, and load as much supplies of food and medcine as I can at each stop, along with building supplies if we find any.  Keep a look out for gas.  Contingency:If I spot any undead while driving, if the groups large go around, if it's small go through (aka drive em over) and when looting, try and sneak up to them and blow their heads off with my magnum.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

And I think that's everyone.

[Frelock]

Excellent.  As an additive, while searching the hospital, I attempt to stay in rooms with windows if possible.  While searching the gun shop, I make sure there's no paranoid war vet hiding in a corner.

[kilakan]

as opposed to the sneaky white van driving rapist outside?

DAY 1:
You exit the cellar, sticking together, and clambor into the van. You easily manouver to the Strangelove Memorial Hospital, avoiding or crushing a fair number of wandering zombies.

HOSPITAL

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once there, you all spread out to search. Much of the building is damaged, bloody, or simply turned upside down. With 7 of you searching, you pretty much comb the whole place.

Jetsquirrel (rum0)=6! Picing around the ransacked rooms, you locate a storage room. Inside, you locate 2* OXYGEN TANKS (25lbs ea). ALSO, you locate another survivor, hunkered down inside the storage room.

Monk12 (rum2*2) 1,4 You very nearly brain yourself on a fax machine (REF0:1), and then DO (-1 HP) but doing so reveals some drugs, obviously dropped in a hurry. 2 Pain Drugs, 1 Psych Drugs, 2 Medical Supplies.

maxicaxi (rum0) 2 Despite your best efforts, the rooms you search seem empty.

Frelock (rum 4*2) 1,5 You narrowly avoid getting your arm shredded (REF0:3) while you extract some very sharp surgical supplies. 4 Medical Supplies.

kilakan (rum0) 4 You pick 1 Psych Drugs and 1 Medical Supplies from the remains of a closet.

JacenHanLovesLegos (rum1*2) 3,1 You stumble into an OR, and pick up some relativley blood-free 1 Medical Supplies. The room was rather upsetting. (COU roll 5) You're a little green, but okay.

Scood (rum1) 0 You find nothing of value.

Summary: (66 lbs)
2 Oxygen Tanks (25lbs)
2 Pain Drugs
2 Psych Drugs
6 Medical Supplies

NEXT you travel to the Gun Shop. The windows are broken and the door is hanging off. A pile of corpses is on fire in the street. Empty shells litter the doorway. It seems abandoned, and mostly ransacked.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Jetsquirrel 2 finds nothing of interest.

Monk12 2,6 Finds nothing at first..but wait... OHSHI- You have located a primed landmine. Fortunatley, it wont go off as long as you dont touch the top of it. There are 2 more in a crate. 3 Landmines.

maxicaxi 3 Scrounges together 18* 5.7mmNATO rounds from various places.

Frelock 6,4 Immediately finds an unopened gun safe, and (LUK2:5) manages to open it on his first try. Within, he finds 1 S&W M500 .50-Cal. Magnum, with 15* .50 rounds, and 4 frag grenades.  The bottom half of the safe contains another survivor, who apparently got locked inside during the fighting.

kilakan 3 Finds 10* .22LR rounds.

JacenHanLovesLegos 4,2 Locates a crossbow and 5 bolts. (note: rebar makes fine emergency bolts)

Scood 1 Stumbles across a rigged shotgun! (REF0, +2trap master:4) He manages to avoid serious injury, and recover the shotgun, although there seem to be no shells. 1 Winchester.

Summary: (26 lbs)
3 Landmines (5lb ea)
18 5.7mmNATO rounds
.50 Magnum (5lbs)
15 .50 rounds
4 Frag Grenades (2lb)

You then proceed to the Water Tower.
It seems untouched. You spend a momnet levering open the lock on the gate with a crowbar, and then drive the van right under it, pulling the gate shut behind. There's not a lot of land space here; there is fencing all around, and a small utility shed (locked, windowless). The catwalk around the tower isn't very wide, and you figure you can't fit more than 12 survivors or so up here. There is a small portable radio up here, and a water tap. The inside of the bulb is 3/4 full.  You could haul everything up to the catwalk, if you'd like, for half an action.
Monk12, you notice 3 places that could become points of entry - the gate, now unlocked, a low spot where the fence could be jumped, and a spot where the fence has seen better days and is rusting away a bit.  There is some shrubbery that could prove a visibility problem from above.

From up here, you watch the glorious vista of sunset o'er burning city, while listening to the dulcet tones of the test pattern on the radio.

[Frelock]

9 people, so I suggest 3 watches of 3 people each.  Each person watches one of the three entrances, so we should have plenty of warning.  We should get up to the top quickly, so just leave the non-critical stuff (food, medical supplies) in the van and lock it, but take the weapons with us.

[Jetsquirrel]

Il follow whatever plan there is and take the crossbow!
