Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

OOC: The survival pack is in a large duffle bag that can also be used as a backpack.

As you step out of the dark cave that leads to the grave that was once your home, the light of the full moon provides just enough illumination for you to see. A century ago, before the Great War, you have heard, the fields before you would have been filled with crops. Grains as far as the eye could have seen. Now, the fields are full of only hard-packed dirt, baked by the sun over the years. Bones of strange animals occasionally litter the ground, and bare hills can be seen in the background.

Alicia offers to carry the backpack first, "Well I might as well since most of us appear have the same strength."

Once out of the cave entrance and into the moonlit sky, she asks, "Did anyone see anything to light the stove with in that kit? I am wondering if we have a tool with which to start a fire to make a torch or something. Out here in the moonlight we cannot read the map. Otherwise we might as well pick any direction to walk in next... maybe those hills."

<<OOC: Was there a lighter or anything to start a fire in the kit?>>

Yes, I forgot to mention that there's a small box of matches in the kit, as well. I won't be keeping track of those, but don't get absurd.
 

Alicia answers her own question, "Oh, here are some matches, never mind."

She hitches the pack up onto her back in a better, more comfortable position and begins trekking towards the hills thinking, probably should put distance between us and the vault. That monster might yet find its way out after us. She is keeping an eye out for something that would make a good torch.

<<OOC: I said I would play be myself if necessary. LOL>>

Winston

Winston takes the stuff he should take, hoping that his book knowledge of survival will be of a bit help. He also quickly puts the glasses away. They are a bit ridiculous in the night.
"How do you think will the sun look like? Like on the photos?"
As he sees her struggling with the map, he offers: "Can we scan the map to the pipboy? It's screen is lit."

ooc: still here.
 

Alicia stops up short after Winston's question, "Hmmm, maybe, dunno. Actually let me check the other Pip Boy, maybe the map is already loaded into it. That would be lucky if it was."

She shrugs the pack back off and examines the extra Pip Boy. She continues talking while examining the object, "
By the way, my name is Alicia Taliaferro. I used to work in security. Your name is Winston right? I think I remember seeing your name on a duty roster somewhere."

<<OOC: 2 questions then: Scanning the map and anything different about the 2nd Pip Boy.>>

As Alicia scans the pack's Pip-Boy's memory for a scanned map, she finds it quite easily. Otherwise, there is nothing of any real use on it that's different from the Pip Boy you're wearing.

There are a few dead-looking trees in the distance that might be helpful in making a torch. Your Pip Boys also have a "flashlight" mode as well, that brightens the green screen considerably.
 

Isaias takes the spare pipboy after downloading the maps to the other units. "I'm Isaias." He states. "At least you'll not return to your tent for the moment." shrugs the man to Winston "Which is good cuz there's the ugly beast there, heh" he explains.
 

Alicia watches attentively to Isaias's actions, Hmmm, did not know this gear could do that. Great!

She looks at the map on the Pip-Boy and wonders aloud, "
So which way should we head?" After donning the pack again she looks for a likely place to go on the map awaiting another opinion.

<<OOC: From an IC perspective, she has no idea what she is looking for. No experience to draw upon, but maybe signs of civilization, like nearest town or another Vault.

Hope everything's okay VV.>>
