[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast IC

Game Info

[sblock=All Players]Anyone wishing to know if there is a certain type of building located nearby should roll a Knowledge check pertinent to that type of building. To see if you know of any clinics, medical centers, or similar locations, roll a Knowledge (earth and life sciences) check. Because Knowledge is a trained skill only, if you lack the skill, the highest possible result you can achieve is a 10. In other words, if you lack the skill, it is a straight Intelligence check with a maximum result of 10. Even if you were to get a result of 15 on your Intelligence check, it would only count as a 10 (not that a 10 might not be worth something).

Please remember to include your character name and current hp/total hp in the title section of your post as well as any conditions you might be suffering from (dazed, stunned, etc.). Not only does it help us keep track of who is who, it also helps your fellow players respond to your character's injuries appropriately.[/sblock]

Francisco Quiroga 13/22

Francisco can barely contain himself after the man spoke. "Fine? Are you serious about your last statement señor? If I might point something out, there's a huge smoke champignon there" Francisco points at the mushroom cloud "I can't even explain why are we still alive, and I'm a physicist. There's no telling of how many people died today, nor what our chances of survival are, but if you think this is something usual in your country, if I were you, I'll start picking better presidents."
He shakes his head. "If this muchacho has a better place to be, then why not go there: there won't be loons around, and if it's a farm we will have food and other essential things to survive until, and if, the cavalry arrives. "

One of the people in the crowd overhears your conversation and walks up. He is an overweight gentleman in his mid-40s, tall and partly balding. He has a lot of dirt on his face and arms as well as cuts and scrapes all over him.

"Hey guys. Sorry, if I'm butting in on anything, but has anyone thought about trying to find a shortwave radio to see if there is any news about this? I've checked a bunch of radios around here but they all seem to be broken. Maybe we can find one that hasn't been busted up and figure out what's going on. With a shortwave radio we can hear stuff virtually anywhere on the continent."

Tom Buckner 12/23

All Tom could remember was following this girl through the mall. That was his job and that is what he was paid to do. Just another routine investigation Tom thought to himself. That is all he remembers.

Tom didn't know how long he was out for. He was bruised and felt a little light headed. His thoughts were dizzying and couldn't collect himself. He was on his back looking up. He faintly started hearing a bunch of people scream. Extremely confused he tried to roll over and felt a sharp pain in his left arm. His vision returned to see that he was scraped up pretty badly. Cuts from flying glass and debris must have hit him at all angles.

Tom looks up and thinks a bomb went off in the mall. Seeing people running everywhere he is not sure what is going on.

"Hey anybody.. HEY, ANYONE.. What is going on??"

Tom finally gets to his feet and stands there.

[Dekana]

Sophie Lin, 2/9 hp

At Xavier's mention of guns, Sophie moves a hand to her left waist, underneath her black coat. It's still there. She returns to her resting position when James introduces himself. Sophie does not look very reassured by his presence. At the same time as Francisco, she speaks with a tension in her voice, almost to the point of hysterics.

"We'll be fine? Look there! Everyone is dead!" Sophie lets Francisco finish after that point, not wanting to drown him out. She next voices a comment after the idea about the radios is mentioned.

"Shouldn't we get out of the city? There must be -" she pauses, then continues nervously - "radiation, right?"

 

[Willette]

"Radio huh? I can repair one if we find something not too beat up or I can make one, I made a radio for my science fair project last year but its not as good as the real thing.", says Xavier.

"I have to get home to my mom soon so she knows I'm ok, she's home all alone! I've seen enough bad stuff around here to know I need to go."

Sgt. James Matthews; 5/32

James pauses at the comments made by the scientist and young lady, and contemplates for a moment, "Look, I'm not saying this isn't bad. It is. A lot of people died today and more are going to die; tens of thousands, maybe more... but this isn't the time to panic. We've got to assess this situation and act according to our most immediate needs. If that means getting far from here quickly, fine. I don't know much about radiation..." looking at Dr. Quiroga, "What's your take on this professor? How far away from that cloud do we need to get, and how soon?"

James drops his black duffel from his should, reaches inside and pulls out a midsized black device with a hand held microphone system attached, tossing it to Xavier, "Citizens' Band; haven't checked it yet. You think you can do something with that kid, it's yours."

[sblock=thoughts]Don't know if I trust these folks yet... kid reminds me of Jay...[/sblock]

[sblock=rolls/ooc]As soon as the rolling site starts working again, I'll edit this.
Int. check for any medical/vet facilities nearby: 1d20+1 ((take 10 = 10)
Int. check to recall anything about radiation/EMP: 1d20+1 (take 10 = 11)
Knowledge[streetwise] to determine if there are any back alley medical clinics and/or warehouses/stockpiles/safe houses, especially in the industrial outskirts of the city: 1d20+10 = 12 , so probably no much near here.[/sblock]

Francisco Quiroga 13/22

"Let's just say I know almost everything you need about these things" states Francisco. "And I'm jodidamente sure that we must find a way to get as far as we can, although the explosion was far away, it might be too late for all of us, but may be not. I'm not planning on surrender."

Knowledge (Physica science): 1d20+11=30

 

[airwalkrr]

The tall, heavy man notices the CB radio and says, "I've tried several of those. Had two in my pickup, but I can't even get the damn things on, even using backup power. And besides, CB doesn't have the range of shortwave. I mean, if we could get one working, it would be better than nothing I guess.

[sblock=Voda Vosa]In your expert opinion, you are not in any danger of immediate radiation at this distance. However, you will be caught within the fallout cloud within 24-48 hours unless you put at least 50-100 miles (80 to 160 kilometers) between yourself and the blast area. The fallout cloud is certain to contain radioactive elements within that can harm you more long term and cause ability damage.[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

"You are hopeless with the radios I'm afraid. That thing fried every electronic device in a huge area." Francisco says to the ones arguing about the radio. He frowns his face a bit, and looks at the cloud in the sky. "We must find a way to move at least two hundred kilometers from here before tomorrow. In other words, if we are not 200 from here in aproximatedly 24 we'll get caught in the cloud fallout, and there's no telling what genetic alterations we might experience. We'll die in a few hours if we are lucky." he annaunces with a grim face. "Everyone within that radius from the explosion will die of fallout radiation, so I'll be more preocupated about getting our traseros out of here, and quick. Things are going to get real nasty, real quick around here."
