Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

"You can defend yourselves all you want," the man replies. "As for trade, we use these." He pulls a small bag from his belt and shows you the contents, a few tabs from were once beverage cans. "The majority of the places around here use these."

Alicia looks at the little pieces of metal and wonders where they are going to get some as they have none. However, she just shrugs letting that answer come when it will.

She inquires, "At this time we don't have and of those, but I assume there are some traders inside. We possibly have a few items to barter, can you tell me where we can discuss such business?"

"Also we are apparently without viable employment at the moment. Are there any people that are looking for assistance with tasks in the community? We have a variety of skills, perhaps your overseer can see the value of our worth."

Chase watches as Alicia takes the lead, attracted to her even more because of her assertiveness. He laughs to himself as he imagines the townspeople looking at them and them seeing the teenage girl talking for a group of men and a teenage boy. However she probably was the one out of them that would be easiest to listen to and the least hostile in appearance.

When the man informs them of what they use for currency he thinks back to see if he'd ever seen anything like them.

He walks forward and stands beside Alicia as she asks about the possibility of jobs but says nothing.
 

The man nods. "The merchants here are always looking to trade," he says. "They'll take pretty much anything for some tabs. I have no idea why, but there has to be some use for it." he shrugs.

As Alicia and the sheriff are talking, Winston remembers seeing some cans on the side of the river with the tab still attached.

"As for work, the sheriff continues. "I hear old Ephrem's looking for something out in the wasteland, but he's too old to go out and get it himself. There are several small jobs here that need to be done, I'm sure you'll find something."
 



Alicia nods a thanks to the sheriff, "I appreciate the information. Where might we find this Ephrem?"

She does a mental inventory of extraneous gear that they could trade, There is the spare Pip-Boy and a the two handguns from the raiders, plus the spares we have.
<<Possum; Can you confirm how many spare handguns we have? I think we have 3 at least, possibly more if everyone else had more than one.>>

OOC: Chase and Isaias, likely. And I count three spare handguns as well.

IC: "Ephrem's in the old post office," he says. He points to a road to the north. "Follow that road until you reach the main road. There's a lot of activity down there. It's the building on the left before the church after you take a right."

He nods at Isaias' question and chuckles somewhat. "Lots of people in this town need an engineer, and we only have one."
 

Alicia thanks the Sheriff, "Thanks, er... I didn't catch your name. I am Alicia Taliaferro. You have been extremely helpful, perhaps we can help each other out more in the future."

After getting his name she will offer to shake his hand in parting. She gestures to her companions to go ahead and enter with her into the town proper, commenting once they are sort of alone, "Interesting place. Wonder what that business with the church is? Maybe we will find out on our way to this post office."

<<Improve Attitude: Diplomacy (1d20+4=5) :erm: Well it was worth a try.>>

OOC: BTW, I leave on a business trip for 4 days out of the country. I should have Internet, but I might be short on time. When I get back other RL issues will take away my gaming next weekend, so I might be scarce for the next 7 days.

I also posted something in our OOC thread, but no one answered or commented. That's why I posted again here, not sure anyone is reading the other one.
