[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast IC

[Voda Vosa]

Francisco Quiroga 13/22

"Perhaps so, but what if we get the battery and someone broke the truck trying to make it start?" The man seems to have hit a good idea, as his eyes widen slightly. "What we could do is this: I'll make the truck work for a little time, enough to get us to that battery shop you say" he points at the fat guy. "There we can replace my assemblage with an actual working battery, if there's any working. Otherwise, we'll keep moving on the truck as far as my repairs can take us."

OOC: I think making the truck move there will save time, then we use the actual batteries.

Terrence comes back with his cargo pants and a backpack full of stuff. He pulls the bag off and drops it beside Tom and kneels down going through all the stuff he grabbed. "Anybody that look promising out there, I'm not particularly chosey either just anyone making any sort of progress?" He askes Tom as he sorts thorough whta he grabbed.

[sblock]
Do I need to write down what I grabbed because it really is just random stuff that he thought might be of some use? (sorry that I haven't been able to write in backstory)

No me and Tom are not with the group but if you get that car started i beiliev that we will have reason to join

Sgt. James Matthews; 6/32

"Best idea I've heard yet prof, let's make it happen." James heads over to the cargo bay to do one final sweep before calling out to everyone, "People! Soon as the professor here gets this thing hotwired, we're heading out. Harry, Sophie, help me get this man up into the bed in the back." James moves over to the store clerk and begins to help him up.

[sblock=ooc]Sticking with the truck is the way to go, especially since we can probably get it moving for at least a mile. Also, was anything useful turned up during any of the searches of the cargo bay?[/sblock]

[sblock=Frozen Messiah]I will assume you grabbed a backpack inside the grocery store since you don't have one listed on your character sheet. And yes, you will need to indicate how much you were able to grab although you don't need to be detailed (e.g. you could just indicate canned goods as opposed to listing preserved peaches, canned green beans, etc.). There is a limit to how much your pack and pockets will hold. A backpack can carry 60 pounds of gear. I'll say your cargo pants can each carry 5 pounds of gear. If you grabbed nothing but canned goods, that would allow you to grab 140 cans (each weighs 1/2 lb.).[/sblock][sblock=Hob Marshmallowfoot]You are going to have to be specific on what you are searching the back room for. It is the the back room of a supermarket. There is everything from dry goods (flour, sugar, etc.) to canned goods to Christmas decorations. People are looting the back room too, and yes, the back room also appears to be out of bottled water. At least at a glance.[/sblock]

Terrence and Tom spot a group on the south side of the Eagle Foods supermarket marshaling around a delivery truck. They seem to have a modicum of order and common sense around them, unlike the mayhem that is plaguing almost everyone else in this panicked atmosphere.

"That's a damn good idea Professor Kweeroga," Harry says. "Youse guys mind if I tag along? Youse seem to know what you're doing and everybody else seems to have lost their heads. Plus, ya need someone to show ya to the auto shop."

"Hey gordito, you can come along as far as I'm concerned. If your tip about the battery store you gave us get us a new battery, we'll be in debt with you." replies Francisco "Now, let me see those things..." the academic gets his hands dirty into the truck, wiring and assembling a provisional source of power.

Repair: 1d20+16=25 ; 1d20+16=22

Finishing up, he shuts the truck's trunk and sits at the wheel, after a few curses and hits to the console, the trucks seems to respond to the Argentinian crafts.

Game Info

[sblock=All Players]The truck is now jury-rigged, but it won't last forever. The only question is whether you want to hang around and stock up on foodstuffs before leaving. Hundreds of people are looting the supermarket and it is going to be empty soon anyway.[/sblock]

 

[Dekana]

Sophie Lin, 5/9 hp

"Woo!" hollars Sophie when the truck's engine turns over. She smiles and lightly slaps Francisco on the shoulder. "Great work; now if only we could drive this thing all the way to the farm - or really, anywhere but here. But, I guess we'd better hit the store first before your repairs fail."

ooc: No objections to moving on. Also, will we all fit in the vehicle?

Game Info

[sblock=All Players]The cab will comfortably seat about a dozen people. There are only seatbelts for 4, but the crew quarters has plenty of space. This is the kind of truck that is meant for one or two people to be able to live out of. It has a mini-fridge and even a microwave oven in the back.[/sblock]

 

[Blackrat]

Kyle 3/9

Kyle finishes patching up James and sits on the back of the truck. I never thought I'd say this but I think I need a smoke. He feels the truck tremble as it starts up. Whoa, you got it running. Nice work Francisco. Well, if we got all we need, I can patch up the rest on the way.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Francisco chuckles to himslef. "Yeap, but it wont last forever, we better get to that autopart shop, and pronto" The physicist takes the wheel, but is uncertain where to go. "You'll have to guide me Harry. Everybody get on, we are leaving for good."
