Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

[Walking Dad]

Winston

Winston takes a look at his new room before starting their mission. Can the door be locked? Possible entrance/exit through the window? etc.

Aside from the backpack they'd been sharing Chase really doesn't have much but it's nice to take everything off and take a quick cat nap. He then gets up, stretches and walks over to Alicia's room since she had inhereted the roll of de facto leader. This was good though because Chase certainly didn't want the responsibility. As he walked down the hallway he let his mind wander to picture Alicia stretching after a cat nap or better yet after crawling out if bed with him. It was all he could do to keep his mind off the fact that everyone else had thought the elevator had been disabled, dooming everyone else inside the vault to a grisly death at the hands of that monster. He hoped someone else had the same chance to escape.

He knocks at Alicia's door and waits for her to respond. He then expresses his readiness to go by saying "So we going to do this or what?" in a vaguely suggestive manner.

Alicia thanks the innkeeper and is beginning to get a better idea about how things are working in this community.

She heads upstairs to take a look at their rooms, just checking to make sure they can find them later without much fuss. After a moment she catches Chase getting read to settle in for awhile. She still has the backpack with their stuff, not showing any intentions of leaving it behind.

She smirks, "I figured you for the lazy lay-about, but we just got here and there is work to do."

"You other guys satisfied that we can find our rooms later? We should probably head out to go look around. Any ideas where we should start?"

When Alicia mentions to Chase that it's time to go he grabs his guns and is ready to go (previous posts thoughts still occur but he doesn't rest).

"Sorry about that Alicia. I just thought we'd get more done after a good night sleep or at least when we were all feeling a bit more well rested. But I'm ready to go when you are."

The medium-priced rooms that you are in are capable of being locked, unlike the low-price ones you saw on the way in. Upon checking in, you were all given the key to your respective rooms.

Winston

Winston scratches head: "Not really. You got one?"

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: We were kinda vague about what we passed en route this town, so unless we saw some promising ruins to search, then I guess we are just looking the hard way.

Alicia shrugs, "No ideas other than systemic search patterns. Since we only have about four hours left for looking today, we can start with a close perimeter search of this community."

"We can start South and search for an hour covering a 90 degree arc from within visual range of the walls, to about 500 meters. That might take an hour to do."

"Then we just move clockwise around the town, repeating the process for each 90 degree arc and then return here to spend the night. Sound like a plan?"

She looks to Winston and Chase to see if they agree.

"Sounds good to me. But you're not expecting to find one of these things just laying on the ground right? I mean more than likely we'd find one in one of these shelter type things. So I don't think it'll take us so long to search that far." Chase says refusing to believe that one of these vacuum tubes would just be lying out there in one of the nearby open areas not keeping in mind that Alicia was suggesting it for everones safety.

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: Actually you are right, we would need to search structures. But I was assuming that we are in the ruins of the old town and it would take that long to search those sectors. But if we have lots of desolation, then our initial sweep around the outside of the town can range much farther out, just as long as we are covering four 90 degree arcs in four hours.
