Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

[perrinmiller]

Alicia picks herself off the floor of the elevator, "Cripes! That was close, huh?"

Once the doors open, she gestures for the others to go ahead and exit. Figuring no one else is alive to use this elevator, she pulls the emergency stop button and remarks, "Don't need the elevator to head back down and bring that beast up here with us."

While Isaias looks into opening the vault, Alicia checks to see how many bullets remain in the Baretta in her hand and is glad she has two more guns tucked into the pockets of her jumpsuit, who knows what is on the other side of that door. Might need these extras.

"Worst case, there are more of these things outside. But I'm willing to take this risk. Better a bad chance than no chance..." Winston remarks, hoping the others are able to open the door.

Ammo Count: From my recent reading, Alicia fired two shots at the Deathclaw and Chase fired one, leaving the ammo in their current clips at 13 and 14, respectively.

Isias begins to work on the opening the vault door, and finds it relatively easy to open, likely any higher security clearance needed had been released by the Overseer while ordering the evacuation: if any existed at all.

A klaxon blares its warning as the door begins to sink into the vault. There's a slight hissing sound as the seal is broken, letting outside air into the vault for the first time since the doors closed during the Great War. The air is cool from the night and fresher than any air you've smelled before.

The door opens to reveal a small cave that's obviously manmade. Several bits of debris, both large and small, from the recent earthquakes litter the floor. Off in the distance, there's a small bit of light.

Alicia remembers one thing from her training as she sees the door open, part of a contigency plan in case the vault needed to be evacuated: there's an emergency survival pack stored near the door.

ooc: Winston fired a shot, too.

Alicia watches the gear-like door slowly open with some apprehension. Having checked her weapon, she moves into position to cover whatever is on the other side, her body braced against something hard, behind some cover as well. Seeing what is on the other side as she looks past the sites of her Baretta, she relaxes a little, no freakin monsters out there... hmmm, the air smells different... almost nice.

She moves forward and says, "There is a survival kit here. There should be some useful stuff in it." She examines it and checks to see what is there.

<<OOC: Actually I wasn't being a stickler on the ammo count, just role-playing. Are you going to accurately pay attention to it, Possum?>>

"Good thinking Alicia." Chase says as he takes a breath in the elevator. He waits seemingly exhausted (he was running after all) and is the last to exit the elevator. He watches as Alicia does her weapons check and count and the other guy, Isaias maybe? as he starts with the controls to the doors.

Chase had always wondered what the outside was like, he just wished it were under different circumstances that he'd be finding out. He waits until the doors are open and for Alicia to be distracted looking for the survival pack she mentioned. Then he releases the emergency stop and quickly makes his way to the rest of the group. He wasn't giving up on others survival just yet. Plus he doubted that thing knew how to work the elevators but he wasn't planning on sticking around to find out. "So let's get out of here eh guys, and gal?" he says as he walks through the doors, takes a deep breath and starts towards the end of the tunnel.

<<OOC: Chase hasn't fired any yet. I believe that was Winston.>>

OOC: I normally wouldn't, but since post-apocalyptic is one of the two genres where I do keep track of ammo (survival horror is another one), I will be doing so. And I was incorrect: it was Winston who fired a shot, not Chase.

The survival pack contains the following contents:
* One handgun with two magazines of ammunition
* Four sets of cooking and eating utensils, including a knife suitable for defense.
* One Vault-Tec brand Pip-Boy handheld computer (which you all have, anyway)
* One Vault-Tec brand portable stove
* One mini water purifier (Not for use for more than 10 people)
* One bottle of Rad-X pills (30 capsules)
* Four canteens (empty)
* How to Eat Rat, Coping With Mr. Virus and Pip-Boy user's manuals.
* One pre-War map of Missouri
* Four sets of Vault-Tec brand sunglasses

"Ok, we should divide the stuff and then go on!" Winston says, picking up a set of sunglasses.

ooc: Do we have any packs to transport it. Carrying everything in the survival pack sounds heavy.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Isaias walks from the console, watching eager as the vault pressure door slides open to one side.
"Good" he says nervously. "Out we go, far from the monster!" the man checks the room before leaving, watching for anything useful to take with him, like tools of any kind.

 

[perrinmiller]

Alicia sorts through the equipment and suggests, "Everyone grab a pair of sunglasses, a canteen, and a mess kit with a knife. Anyone need another gun or spare ammo, grab that. The rest can stay in the pack and the strongest person should carry it. We should take everything just in case."

Once this is finished she indicates that she is ready to head outside and see this new world.

<<Everyone but Isaias has Str of 12. Also curious if there was anything else note-worthy in the vault's entryway that we can take with us.>>
