Summer Break is upon me, and as such i shall run an RTD.
Roll To Survive the War of Mutations
Background Story stuff:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are an average person, living in an average town, of average people, who were caught completely unawares by the hidden war that raged around and through the world.  Governments have been fighting since before electricity was created over a rare resource known only as AGENT-P, it's effects are largely unknown, but all that is sure is that everyone in power seems to want it, and it has been the cause of most, if not possibly all wars in the modern world.

     Last night, a strange white dust fell from a number of bombers, making a run over your country, no acts of war have been declared, and it's unlikely it will, as the dust set down it burst into flame on wires and other electrical equipment that was exposed, and caused people and animals it fell on to undergo horrible mutations, those it didn't kill became bloodthirsty monsters.
     You don't know why it didn't effect you, but you've been exposed to a massive dose at night, and you can feel something change inside you, but for some reason it seems more controlled and harmless then what happened to those around you.  Fires rage around the town, and you, with a group of others like you, have been pushed into an abandoned warehouse at the edge of town.  All vehicles and communications were eradicated over-night, and you think that even if something was safe in a shelter it would be destroyed once outside by residual effects.


     You are scared, you are tired, and those with you are complete strangers to you, you can only hope to live to see tomorrow.  Worse of all, you only have what you grabbed in a panic, when fleeing at night.

Generalized information:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Enemies come in many shapes and sizes, but they are flesh and blood, just like you.  The only hope of actually stopping them is to discover what happened, while fending off the unimagined.

You are human, and you are weak, don't expect to get shot and live, be careful, a bullet is as deadly as dehydration.

The only one with any answers to what happened to you and the country may be the government, if any is left.  But with your heavy exposure, be careful to trust anyone.

Items:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They are devised into-
Giant:They can't be carried alone, at-least by a normal human, these can be pushed at a really slow speed, includes-Furniture, Most Mechanical Parts, basically anything you in real life couldn't carry at a run by yourself.

Large-You can carry at max, two of these without penalties, they are items like large guns, boxes, and bodies of other people. Think something you could sling over a shoulder, it's heavy but in a pinch you could still run with it.

Medium-Things like laptops, medical kits, toolboxes, or a couple SMALL items lumped together in a bag.  Anything that could fit in a backpack, but take up about half the space in it. You take a penalty when carrying more then 3 of these at once.

Small-Pocket knives, wallets, folded bags, light firearms, ammo boxes, flashlights, that type of thing.  Fits in a pocket.  These have a penalty over 8 items for quick usage, and 12 for encumbrance.

Mutation Seeds: something grows inside of you, a physical form of your inner potential.

ohhhhkay then and we are off, let's see two young adults, a hiker girl, and a lax ex-high school jock, who joined the army.  A police officer (ohhh i'm gonna like messing with you and that mutation) and a single 27, balding man who now hears voices, hehehe time to start the sadism of being a GM
Can I assume you want the police body armor as your large item Taricus, a SMG would be medium, clips would be medium, and the rest works out.  If you want a different large item let me know.

Turn 1:Oh god, the light only makes it worse!
As the sun rises in the distance, you crowd around the window, oh god that explains why they stopped attacking you.  All around the building, and over the street lay's dismembered parts, charred corpses, and huge streaks of blood, it seems that they turned on each other.  As you watch a dog with 4 tails drags off the upper half of a... a.... god it must have been a women, but her skin has turned to scales.  Moving away from the window, the four of you appraise your surroundings.  It seems the warehouse has been used as a hangout for local teenagers, and anything of worth has been vandalized or stolen.  Beer bottles lay smashed along the edges of the walls, with copious amounts of graffiti above them, a twisted memorial of times now gone.  many of the widows are gone, to have been replaced by bits of wood.  The only thing of interest in the massive, open building is the double loader doors, which can still be dragged open to reveal the street beyond.  Bit's of broken machinery lay everywhere, if you had something working a spare part may be found there....

special events below, look only at yours, unless you wanna break the fourth wall.
Taric Johnson:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you gaze out at the broken machines, (?) you can almost immediatly tell that some of them must have bits of oil and gasoline, with some of the unbroken bottles, and a bit of cloth from somewhere you know you could make some explosives, if only you had a toolkit to get at the gasoline....

Steve Evans:

 (?)"why...........oil..................god no..........grrratch,.......foooooodmiinne....."  The noise comes from all directions, did someone put a broken radio in my ear!?!?!?!

Henry Mcabe

(?)Your muscles continuously tense and then relax, after the small fit passes..... it almost feels like you are stronger, must have been all the running last night.  Then minor shudders pass, and you feel like your old self again.

Andrea Salem

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(?)Your fever kicks way up, but you arn't sweating, god no you feel terrible, and then it passes and you feel as if your clothes just got very cold.

Highendnoob and Emo are on the waiting list for now, let me see how fast I can update this with 4 people first.

[Taricus]

"Hey, anyone got a toolkit?"

[Riccto]

"No. But we can find one with a bit of searching, Lets search the streets for a bit...Not too far I guess." Search the streets around the building we hid in. Not too far

[Taricus]

"Okay, I'll Watch out for anything coming this way."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Andrea shuddered and but a hand to her forehead. ...A tick must have bit me out in the woods. That's why I feel like crap. That or maybe it was the scene of destruction outside the window. "I'm going to stay in here, guys," she said. "Maybe there's something we can use nearby."
Action: Spend the hour searching the warehouse for useful items, or at least heavy stuff. If I only find heavy things, drag them in front of as many windows and entrances as I can while still leaving one open for entering and exiting.
