[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast OOC

[airwalkrr]

Voda Vosa, you are actually at 13/22 hp. The damage roll was to determine how much damage you had taken, not your current hp total. You may edit your post title to reflect that.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Done!

Voda Vosa, could you also please change your spoken text color to one of the following: dark orange, yellow, lime, dark slate blue, cyan, blue or purple? (Dekana has already put dibs on red.)

FYI, less than 5% of Chicago's current rail system is underground, so they really don't have much of a subway, especially where you guys are presently located (in a suburb). Public transportation is mainly by bus or the "L," which is slang for the Elevated Rapid Transit train. However, since this is an alternate reality, we can just assume that a fairly recent underground transit line has been constructed in the Orland Park area.

Voda Vosa, I am assuming in your post that when you said you were headed for the market you mean the mall on the northeast corner, since much of the smaller shopping center to the west would be in various states of ruin.

Also, I don't recall seeing some of your equipment in your original write-up. Maybe it was and I just glossed over it. In any case, it would be rather odd for your character to be carrying around some of those things, although I have no problem with you having them back at the hotel (even though it seems a little neurotic to bring a gas mask with you to an academic congress, which seems to be your character's reason for being in Chicago). The sword cane, crossbow, and 10 bolts you can carry on you, as well as some form of identification. The crossbow is partially disassembled in a case with the bolts. You can reassemble it at a moment's notice in 1d4 rounds. Everything else is back at your hotel room, wherever that is; you decide.

Blackrat, which direction is Kyle headed? The fuel stations are on the NE, SE, and SW corners respectively. The NW corner has a Bank of America.

Incidentally, for those of you who are already posting IC, you notice each other. Sophie is noticeable for being the only person moving inside the 7-Eleven on the SE corner. Francisco is noticeable for dashing across the road towards the shopping center (while most people are crying in agony or just dumbstruck by the mushroom cloud). Kyle is most likely in scrubs and carrying medical equipment. That's bound to turn some heads.

Yeah, I think Kyle's srambling to a cleaner part of the street, so if the blast came from north, then all the cars are packed to the southside of the street. So he will try to get a bit north first to get his bearings. He is carryin a large med kit but he is in jeans and shirt actually.

 

[airwalkrr]

Heading north doesn't necessarily mean you will get into a clearer zone. Rather the opposite. It's more accurate to say cars are piled up on the north side of buildings. However, if you take cover behind the south side of a building, those areas were better shielded from the blast. Some vehicles that were particularly close to tall and wide buildings might actually be fairly well-shielded, but the intersection where you are located does not have any such buildings in the immediate vicinity (three fuel stations and a bank). The shopping center to the northeast is your best bet for that kind of "clearing."

Hob Marshmallowfoot, let's place the warehouse just to the north of the bank with the entrance opening to the parking lot on the north and the parking lot exiting to the road on the east. (Also, remember to keep character thoughts in a spoiler tag. Those are for GM's eyes only.)

 

[Blackrat]

Well, now he's moving away from the sparking car anyway So probably northwards, getting as far from the stations as possible. Or on another thought... The mall seems like a good place to be...

 

[airwalkrr]

Cardinal directions are helpful.

Edit: I see you added them.

 

[Blackrat]

Yup, those map notes helps a bit... I'll update my last IC post if that's ok?
