Scavenger Tale
« on: June 30, 2011, 10:34:26 pm »


(There aren't enough post-nuclear forum games. I aim to fix that. The main gimmick of this game is that you are supposed to combine anything you find with everything. Car wheel + Broken Knives = Blade Wheel, Disco Ball + Rope = Disco Flail. For your first command, I recommend scavenge so we can start the game with our first combination.)

It has been about twenty years since the end of the world. This city used to rise above the ground, but now the skyscrapers of yesterday are the broken leviathans of tomorrow. Time is a cruel mistress after a nuclear war. All this time you have been in cryostasis, along with hundreds of other people. Due to either time, the weather or system crashes, you are the only one left. Outside, psychotic bandits fight against each other, and mutant creatures feed on whatever fungi are left after the bomb. But now, times may be looking up.

You are on the snowy street, nuclear winter's cold wrapping around you. Your gasmask itches.

Scavenge. Hopefully we actually create something useful. ((I think that there are random loot generators on the net that would be perfect for this.))

After much searching, you manage to find a telephone (A push model one with the important bits EMP'd) and a Spray-on Water Repellent that is broken. Now, what could you make from these...?

Perhaps you can somehow combine them to make it spray when you press a button? Or dispense repellant. Either one.

First, we need some basic tools. Namely, a knife and, ummm. . . . Sticky tape, I suppose.

The phone does have metal parts, but some of them are a little rusty after years of being under a car... But you keep scavenging. You find an electric toothbrush which is pretty much perfect apart from missing the hairs where the brush is supposed to be. You also get some sticky tape.

Take wiring out of the phone, take the battery out of the brush. Connect wires to battery connect other end of wires together to make continual spark. Tape battery to can. Use phone casing to support wiring. Spray the repellant. Boom, we now have a blow torch/flame thrower thing.

Well, time to do something. You make a ramshackle welder/flamethrower that is mostly good for the former and good in a bad situation for the latter. Now, it is starting to get dark, and you need shelter, fast. What would be good?

Find shelter and a weapon.  Who knows how long your mini-flamethrower will last, best find some sort of knife.
