OP Has Problems Edition.
Welcome to Wake Up Naked In A Field With A Rock. Last thread, much fun was had. We were introduced to a post apocalyptic world, populated with people trying to carve out their meager survival amongst wild animals, ravenous cannibals, radiation, and corpse merchants. A strange power, some say, a curse, holds the people of the land hostage, where death is not the end, and people wake up, naked, in a field, with a rock, aware of the final moments of their past lives. Our players continue to fight for their survival and morality in a cut throat world, rife with insecurity, mistrust, and fear.
>Welcome to the next installment.

-----

We are presently at player capacity. However, every now and then, I do accept a new player.
>NEW PLAYERS!
>>Use name as tripcode
>>10 HP @ lvl1
>>Choose an occupation for skill bonuses
>>Customize your rock

-----
>>Mechanics Primer
If your HP is reduced to 0, you fall unconscious. If you are alone, you are assumed dead, and wake up the following sunrise without your items, either in the field, or in your bedroll. However, there are ways to inflict more permanent damage upon players.
>>Skill Checks
>>Flat Check
Roll20 and beat a target number to succeed
>>Opposing Checks
Two players roll against each other. The higher number determines the winner. Combat runs on opposing checks.
>>Anything else?
If you leave the game session and you arent dead, your character falls unconscious. If you aren't present for a session, you are assumed to be sleeping. People can do things to you while you are asleep. Be careful...

You check your rifle, before making your way to the checkpoint. Your mission is clear - reclaim the checkpoint from hostile occupational forces, and secure it for the troops. You see the structure looming in the distance, and start to advance.

>What do? (Roll20)

>Patrick
You've taken defensive positions inside the gas station, and you see a man, walking up from an El Camino, cradling a rifle in his arms. He's approaching the front door of the gas station.

I take a look at El Camino driver, trying to see if he has characteristics or symptoms matching with either a normal person, cannibal, infectee, butcher, or outcast.
I try to give a signal to the rest to not fight unless necessary.

Is there a way for us to sneak that's away from Jippy's path or vision?

You look for signs of cannibalism or infection, but at the distance between the two of you, it's hard to tell. His movements however seem to be highly erratic, and he is talking to himself.

>>1749798
So he's either one of the above, or a crazy person. I think I'd rather we sneak away.

I must assess the situation on how potentially screwed we are.

From your cursory examination of the gas station, you know there is an exit out the back of the building. You'd have to go through the store room in the back and out the back door.

>Jippys turn

>>1749808
That's ok, Anne. Do your thing.

>Opposing check 17

As you make your way through the woods, you hear crunching brush, and see someone in Philopolis clothes approaching.

"Hey, firstie! You new here? You know you can get some basics at the town over yonder, right?

I read my weapon, and aim. I move to get a better shot, approaching slowly to see if I can tell between my allies or the enemy. I give a soft prayer to Father Sky. "Let your child see as you do, let mine own eyes be your eyes. Let them not hide from your gaze." I focus my Jedi abilities into my ocular cavities, letting the energies sharpen my senses.

>Sanity and search
>>
>>1749830
You come to, outside of a gas station. How did you get here? You've been here before... Why are you pointing your gun at the place?

>Opposing checks 19, 3, 12

You see someone moving about in the gas station up ahead.

>>1749798
>>1749830
HOLY SHIT
>You guys are about to meet, i hadn't realized
>>
>>1749829
You shuffle away awkwardly from the whole exchange. The man just observes you as you leave, and then he shrugs it off.

You reach the northbound road. In the distance, you see a small gas station. It has a convenience store and an attached auto shop. A couple derelict cars sit in the lot. A large semi truck has turned over in the middle of the road outside. There's also a mile marker sign. It says 4 miles to the next city, however, the name is too faded for you to decipher it.

>>1749865
You call out to the gas station, asking for help. Damn tribal be killing everyone these days.. and poor patches. He was a good boy. He didn't do nothing...

>Patrick's turn
>>
>>1749880
I look to the rest of the folks to see if they have any idea what the fuck this guy's talking about, and if we should start negotiations.

Cyclops shrugs.

"Life is rough out there, man. People kill each other all the time. We could see what he has to say, but we can't break quarantine. He shouldn't come in here. And I'd prefer if he kept his distance. He seems stable right now, but you never know."

I wait with a bit of nervousness being out here in the open. That crazy feller might've followed me, but I ain't gonna freak these people out. I do prepare myself to dodge if they start shootin'.

The gas station is abandoned entirely. You search it, and produce the following items.

>Acquired $50
>Acquired 4 granola bars
>Acquired 1 can of pop
>Acquired wrench
1atk/round, 1d10 dmg

You start examining the cars. Most of them have been here for a long time. However, you find one, a pair of keys dangling in the ignition...

>What do?
>>
>>1749911
Alright. I'll talk on behalf on the party then while the rest remain in cover.
I move to a position where the others can back me up, and shout out from heavy cover.

>>1749865
>>1749922
"Uh, alright sir. We'd love to help, but on top of not knowing on who you're talking about, we're currently under quarantine. Please don't come inside this building, we're currently investigating the illness some of our members have fallen ill with and we'd rather not have anyone else infected."

"We're not going to attack you, so we'd prefer if you lowered your weapon and remain outside the building if you want to have any further discussion."
I'm assuming on what stance his weapon is, if any.

I set my gun a bit lower, not wanting to show any hostility. Mebbe I'd be able to get some help from them. "Well, alrigh' I suppose. Listen, if'n ya can help, I'mma go back to the police station. Is where I las' saw my pal alive. I got you ain't about ta let me in there. Jes... Protect yaself from this guy. He be talkin' all about the Mother or sum such. He pretty tribal and sheet. But he be crazy, stabbed one guy at this town over yonder, killed another, and now he's followed me and killed my friend." I turn back toward my Cammy, wanting to check on Patches, maybe give him a decent burial or sumfin'.
>>
>>1749951
You turn the keys in the ignition and a beep starts to emanate in the cabin. The battery is working. However, the gas gauge is critically low.

>>1749966
LMFAO... Welcome, Poopfist! Enjoy +1 to Melee Weapons, Repair, and Endurance

I peek out. Once it looks like his gun is lowered and he's not hostile, I move out from cover to get a better look on him and prove I'm not hostile. I try shouting out so he can hear me better before he leaves.
"Uh- Ahem. Thanks sir. We're considering going to the police station later, but first we have to investigate the virus a couple of our people have become ill with."
"If you go to the local hospital, don't go to any locked sections or come near any corpses. If you see any people with one of the above symptoms: sweating, rapid heart beat, shaking, constricted pupils and arteries, dry mouth, vomiting, and heightened states of paranoia and aggression, they may be infected."

Poopfist continues to stare at the dirt near his feet. It seems to be lacking nitrogen content. He doesn't have anything to plant regardless, so he attempts to divine his future from the parched soil.
>>
>>1749994
Who needs a car, you muse to yourself. You take off running down the road. In the distance, you see the outskirts of a large city. There's a row of warehouses, and a large rail yard. You also see an onramp to the interstate which is elevated above the ground level of town.

>Where go?

I wave back to the speaker my acknowledgement and drive off. Once I get to the police station, I look about for any signs of the tribal feller. Once I feel safe enough, I get out and make my way slowly inside to see if I can find Patches.
>>
>>1750019
You take the ramp onto the interstate. Cars sit there, engines off, stuck in eternal gridlock. You can hear in the distance, gunshots, and you see a plume or smoke rising from a building.

You have a birds eyes view of the warehouse district and the railyard. Old train engines sit in the sun, strings of train cars lay motionless, and a large tower overlooking it all.

Many of the warehouses have been barricaded off. It's likely people are living in them.

>Where go
>What do

>>1750028
Cyclops perks up.

"Well... It could mean anything, depending how he lost it, but we've been known to take people's right ear as a brand to let others know they're potentially dangerous. Here's hoping we don't see him again."

As he finishes, you hear loud crashes and screams coming from the back of the store room, where youve stashed your two quarantined party members.
>>1750033
You stare intently into the dirt, trying to decipher your fortunes...

Looks like rain is coming, you muse to yourself. You look closer, when you hear someone shout, "hey!"

You look up, and see a man, missing a leg, badly burned, hobbling towards you on his crutches.

>What do?

>Jippy
You've made it back to the police station. You pull in and park the El Camino, and make your way inside.

You find your way to the evidence room, and you find Patches corpse, perforated with bullet holes.
>>
>>1750051
>Here's hoping we don't see him again."
"Got it."
>As he finishes, you hear loud crashes and screams coming from the back of the store room, where youve stashed your two quarantined party members.
"Shit. Looks like it's a virus that caused this mess."
Help the others out in quarantining them and preventing further infection.

Basterd found a gun, huh... His poor head... Well, can't rightly waste anythin.... I cry a little as I take his body down to one of the cells after stripping him. The pad of numbers I keep on me, the rest I pile in the evidence room. Once down in the cells I muse to myself how to deal with this and the other corpses. Hrm. Well, I can always burn the other bodies, but Patches be special. I go back upstairs and look for a good place to park my Cammy, specifically the garage for the police. Hopefully I can shut and open it with the codes I've got. Once I've got it hidden and secured, I'm going to search through Patches stuff for something like thread or whatever.

>>1750059
>1:30pm
You pile out of the convenience store and into the back room. As you burst in, you see your infected have broken loose, and have killed their watchers. One of them is bashing their watchers head in, viciously, with a loose piece of pipe while the second gnaws at his arm. They turn as you and Cyclops come into the room, and charge you, improvised weapons in hand.

>What do? Roll20

>>1750061
You call out down to the warehouses and the railyard. "Helloooooo?" It echoes through the streets of the derelict city. A moment passes, and you see a man walk out from one of the warehouses, clutching a rifle.

"Take my advice traveler - it's dangerous in these parts. Your best bet is to turn back."

>How do you reply?

>>1750064
You start hoofing it as fast as you can away from the man with the crutch, clutching your flint tightly to your chest. After awhile, you're convinced you've shaken your pursuer. You make your way down the road, and in the distance there's an old barn and a farmhouse.
>Investigate

>>1750066
You move patches into the evidence room. You find the access code to the police garage and pull your El Camino inside. You return to patches, weeping over his corpse, and search his belongings.

>>1750076
Poopfist is feeling a bit tired after escaping from the dangers of charity. Feeling a bit hungry he decides to investigate the barn for some innocent animals to bludgeon.
>>

You walk into the barn. It's seen better days. Many of the tools in here are rusted, and the animal pens are empty, save for one, with a long dead cow rotting away inside. It looks like someone has been camping here, too. A small fire pit has been dug out in the middle of the barn, and a sleeping bag and a backpack lay there stretched out.

I take the needle and thread patches and grab Barry the Bear's skull. I go downstairs and set to work. My friend now gonna have himself some new patches, as I see the bits of cloth on to where the bullet holes were. Next, I skin a bit of the flesh from several corpses in the other cell and start sewing them together. Once done, I slip Barry's skull inside and put the entire thing on Patches caved in upper skull.

You did the best you could to reconstruct your friends face, sewing the bullet holes shut with pieces of leather.

Sighing, tear streaks upon ma cheeks, I set him up in the corner. Mebbe a good night's rest will get these two to work together... I put it out of my mind for the moment and start moving the bodies outside. Once there, I'll stack some bits of trash and whatever wood I can find on top. Once I can find a lighter, I'll be able to get rid of them. Fer now, I'm gonna see about setting up the other cars as a barricade to the front door by moving them while in neutral if they don't start up on their own.

The first one falls down dead, seizing out on the floor bleeding from a head wound. The second, seeing this, tries to break combat and flee, as you and Cyclops go to wrestle him to the ground.

You both wrestle him to the ground, and Cyclops ties him up again with the rope.

"Here's hoping that holds for now."

The man on the ground squirms, sweating heavily and breathing hard, demanding you let him go.

>What do?

You don't see the owner at all. Content with your haul, you make your way into the farm house. The door is ajar, and you step inside to the ruins of the living room, and navigate to the kitchen. You search around for something to eat.

You pile the corpses outside over wood and trash. It's grisly work. You search the police cars, but they have already been picked clean, so instead you punch them into neutral and push them around to form a barricade around the building. Your labors completed, you go inside, and sit down beside Patches.

The old man smiles.

"I have a feeling that whatever is binding us here, my dear lad, is waiting for us in the corpse merchants fortress. I've been by there, and a lot of dark power emanates from that place. That place is dangerous, though. Most who go there do not return. If you feel brave, you can find it far to the west. Turn south from Paradise Pier and go past the marina. A giant citadel of black iron is built into the hillside. Something powerful, and something very much evil, lurks in those walls, and I think that... That is the source of our woes."

"Don't worry, we'll try finding a cure for you. Just sit tight."

Make sure Cyclops has medical gear to prevent contamination. Give Cyclops medical attention.

Ask Cyclops if he has any idea on what happened, and how they broke free from restraints.
"Say, did the other guy break out from the rope bindings?"

One of the people with you, you remember his name being Rat, produces a little bit of rope from his backpack. You tie Cyclops up, and then start to investigate the scene.

The rope is unfrayed. The weapons that were confiscated from the infected lay unused on a far table. Three corpses litter the ground, one covered in bite marks, the other, his head bashed in, and the third, your first infected, his head caved in from a crowbar bludgeon to the face.

"Hey, Patrick," Rat mumbles, "we should probably take steps to secure this room. We should pile all the weapons elsewhere, and barricade the backdoor so if they do get free, they can't leave. Also, we should tie them to something, just in case Jaws here gets any bright ideas about Cyclops."

You wash the weapons and the supplies, being careful not to get any blood on your person.

He felt a twinge of regret as he loaded the stone into his backpack, but Poopfist let it roll off his back like water. Anger often drove him to new and exciting heights, so he had learned to simply embrace it. He held the crowbar in his right hand, and the knife in his left and stalked away toward the town wearing nothing but a backpack and a deranged grin... He was going to find a place to settle, even if that meant displacing and/or dismembering someone else.

Okay, so time to discuss with the others on what we know what happened so far, especially the infection. Include the two infectees if possible. A shame the first one is dead.
"So what from what we can tell, the initial symptoms of infection are similar to cannibalism and stimulant poisonings and overdoses."

"In addition, the infection seems to spread by contact with infected materials or fluids, from what I can imagine, mainly blood from what the two infectees said earlier. So this seems like a bloodborne, communicable infection. It apparently can survive for extended periods time of the host, if the age of the corpses are anything to go by.
“I'm not sure what this virus can survive in, but blood seems like a safe bet."

“In addition, it seems like it requires living hosts, otherwise we’d see the walking dead already. So they’re not zombies from what I can tell, and are far too intelligent while infected to simply be undead.”

"I'm not sure what it takes to get infected, but open wounds seems sure. What did the other infectees do that got them infected, what did the pathogen get inside?"
Try to question the infectees on what happened earlier in more detail, and what they got into contact with.

Poopfist looks around at the destruction and smiles... Poor fools. He wasn't one of their number, and didn't plan to be anytime soon. Signs pointed this way and that, offices or labs. It took him no time at all to decide that much more fun could be had in a laboratory than in a stinky old office... Poopfist headed towards the lab, dragging his knife along the decomposing walls as he strolled. Danger was an idea that had fled, his head was so full of possibility now!

>You begin to interrogate the first infected.
Were the two of them together? When did they go into the locked rooms, what rooms did they go to?
When did they first start displaying symptoms, how close were they to infected material or fluids? How much medical gear were they wearing, if any?

What items did they loot, did they learn anything? Do they have any intel we can use for subsequent expeditions?
What did they touch after they went into the infected rooms?

Was anything unusual while they were there? How well did the two of them know each other?
Did they plan the escape? When did they start escaping? What moved them to start escaping?

"We walked into the pharmacy together. We stayed together. We tried to get deep into the pharmacy store room, but it was chained shut, so we busted the lock. I started feeling sick when we were walking back... Maybe an hour after we went past the barricades. We didn't touch anything.. there were corpses everywhere though and the stench of death was heavy on the air. We weren't wearing any medical gear.

We managed to get antibiotics and pain killers. Didn't manage to find anything else of value, didn't really find anything too important... We mostly just handled medicines and tried to keep our distance from the corpses, but the other guy slipped on some blood and I helped him up. I think that's where we came into contact with infected material.

Can't think of anything too unusual, except that the hospital was full of corpses. A lot of them were missing limbs, or half eaten. We knew each other well... We've been friends for months. Hell, he was the first person I met in the field. We didn't plan the escape, but when the chaos started to erupt, it seemed like the thing to do. I don't know why, I just... I didn't trust anyone at the time."

>>1752774
You shout down your query from the interstate, asking if the man had seen any hardware stores in the area.

"Yeah, but you gotta go deeper into town for it, and I'll tell you right now, not everyone is as friendly as I am. Follow the interstate to the next offramp. You'll see a large shopping plaza. A lot of it has been picked clean, but there's a hardware store there. Be careful, huh? There's cannibals and butchers about."

Alrigh' now that things are secured, I gotta find some kinda supplies. Need to start findin' some people ta help me, too. I sigh. Looks like ma best bet would be another town or some such. I start placing my gear about here and there in the armory, so I'll only go out with my armor and my self-made weapons. Don't wanna risk someone stealin' em if'n they knock me out like that tribal feller. With that set, I head out on foot back towards the woods. The tribal feller is here, so goin' back will be a bit unexpected, hehehehehe....

>I think that's where we came into contact with infected material.
"What infected material do you think you came into contact with, just blood? Where did the blood or infected material get inside? Any open wounds, orifices, or just on your skin?"

>I don't know why, I just... I didn't trust anyone at the time."
"Thanks for being honest with us. It could simply being the virus's symptoms."
"To confirm, we aren't going to anything inhumane with you, or keep you here any longer than necessary than to keep you from accidentally infecting others. As soon we can, we'll get you two that cure, I'm sure of it."

"When did you leave the locked rooms? When did Cyclops call you to regroup?"
After this, ask Cyclops the same questions to confirm the timeline.

On the line of thought of timelines, it makes me wonder how time in Purgatory works and what year it is. I'll go ask the others what year it is, what day it is, and when they all entered Purgatory.
What year was it before I entered Purgatory, and was there any significant deviations in the timeline compared to the real world? What about the meta world, the ones that us players are in?

You scrape your knife along the walls as you walk through the gore in the emergency room towards the labs.

>Contamination 96/100

Your heart is racing in your chest. Your palms sweat. Your skin crawls. You feel hunger beginning to gnaw at your belly, and the thought of violence and the gore smeared all over the walls excites you.

You make your way into the laboratories. It's quiet, long abandoned. Filing cabinets line the walls, and a report sits on a desk beside a microscope. There's a centrifuge where and a chemistry set, most of the beakers smashed, but a large flask contains a clear liquid.

>Read report

>Take liquid

You make your way into the supermarket. This place mist have been abandoned sometime in August or early September because a sign advertise a back to school sale. There's a display stand, and after turning it over, you find the last backpack underneath a cardboard display.

>Acquired backpack

>What do?

>>1752878
You start off away from the police station, walking towards the nearest patch of woods. In the distance, you see a familiar cart drawn by a man swathed in black robes. He pays you no mind.

>Flag him down
>Ignore him

>>1752881
"Neither of us had opened wounds. He just slipped and fell. I got some blood on my hands lifting him up."

"We left the rooms as soon as Cyclops showed up. He shouted from outside and we came running."

You turn to Cyclops, and he confirms their story. Then you catch him off gaurd.

"What year is it?"

"I.. don't rightly know. Ash has been keeping time. He's been here longer than anyone at the Mill. He could tell you. He says the last date he remembered was some day in July, 2013."

I jog over to him and wave him down. When he goes through his spiel, I tell him, "Nah, mostly no but I was wonderin' if'n you'd tell me where some places that I can meet friendly others. Thurs a crazy tribal feller aroun' these parts, talkin' about a mother and stuff, really hippy sheet. Watch out fer him. He might try an' kill ya."
>>
>>1752911
Poopfist feels unwell, but the large amount of gore comforts him slightly. Picking up the report, he glances at just one word before throwing it to the floor. A large flask catches his eye, and he wonders what the clear liquid is... He hadn't filled his canteen anywhere quite yet, so he might be able to quench his thirst; though he was quite sure that water wasn't usually left laying around in laboratories. He picks up the glass and gives it a deep sniff.

You throw it to the ground. What garbage. Picking up the flask, you sniff it. The contents are odorless.

>>1752940
The shelves have been picked clean. You make your way into the store room in the back, past a toppled forklift, and find that there are some unopened boxes of crackers on the top shelves. Getting them down would be a good trick.

>Then you catch him off gaurd.
"Apologies if that's unexpected, I'm keeping track of the timelines here and how that may relate to the virus and events that took place around here."
Check to see if any of the notes we have from the hospital include any dates on them.

"They were old, man, like, rotting away kind of old. All of them were decaying, some moreso than others. Could been in there for years for all I know..."

Ask the others if the industry and all the stuff was already here when they got here, of if they all built it.

"So we know that the virus can survive for extremely long times outside a living host, possibly years, and can spread by blood through skin contact."
"Any corpses or blood anyone sees around this town, keep healthy distance away from and assume that it's infected."

"We also know that the incubation time is extremely short and can take merely an hour before symptoms show, that's shorter than the even common cold or the flu."

What was the day and year before I entered Purgatory? I'll ask the others the same question.

Well... It certainly didn't taste like water. Poopfist feels his heart about to pound out of his chest, and unexpectedly his rage takes control. Picking up a nearby cabinet he tosses it against the counter of microscopes, crushing more than a few of them in the process...
His rage was brief and surprising, especially considering the small amount he had drunk. He stood for a while and looked at the wreckage, wondering how he managed to toss a metal cabinet with such apparent ease... As his common sense returned, he began to move toward the mess to see what he might be able to recover from it.

"Okay, so time goes roughly the same from the real world."
"From what I can tell, most of the stuff should follow what our world does. So medical stuff should be practically the same."

Patient documentation litters the floor. The files all say the same thing - stimulant psychosis and acute stimulant poisoning. Almost all the files are dated to May, 2013. However, one note catches your eye. It reads like a journal entry.

"The contamination has spread like wildfire. The hospital is no longer safe. I locked myself in the lab, but I have no food or water. I won't last long here. I can hear them out there - the screams of the wounded, and the maniacal laughter of the infected, punctuated with the sounds of ripping flesh and breaking bones. It's gotten out of hand now. I'll sit here and search for a cure, but I don't think I'll find one before I expire. God help me."

You start running at a medium trot, making your way back to the interstate.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see a pickup truck peel out of the parking lot, and start following you, but you make it up the on ramp and past a wall of stalled out cars before they can drive up on you.

"Anesthetics, probably. Also depressants. Alternatively we could just knock them unconscious, but I'm not sure if we want to do that."
Take a look to see if we have anything to calm him down. That's probably one of the lesser used items around here.

Poopfist considers burning the hospital to smoke out whoever is hiding inside, but instead decides to seek out the scientist. Perhaps he can offer a cure for whatever ailment seems to have taken hold...
Poopfist slinks through the darkness, keeping his ears perked up for the sound of any movement. If he did run into the infected, perhaps he should keep his canteen handy for a little boost? He pauses briefly and silently swaps the canteen for the knife... With his ragejuice in the left hand, and a bludgeon in the right he was ready to inquire about a cure in the most violent way possible. Poopfist creeps slowly around the remaining laboratory rooms, trying find an open door and uncover the hidden doctor.

Poopfist feels the rage boiling inside... The dead doctor does nothing but remind him of his current contamination. Stripping the doctor of the dirty labcoat he slips it on. At least now he had some pockets... Poopfist puts the canteen and knife into the pockets for easy access.

As he moves the knife from the backpack, it brushes against the flint and strikes a couple of small sparks... Almost as if speaking to him. He holds the flint up and holds it in his left hand. Perhaps this place should burn...

First he needed to find some medical supplies. Giving the dead doctor a swift kick to the head, Poopfist spins around and storms down the hall. Breaking doorknobs off with the crowbar he searched for supplies to make up for the doctor's failure.

Okay, now to check to see what kind of a job I was doing.

Are the others wearing medical or biohazard gear? Have them look in the janitorial supply closet or auto shop's equipment room. The supply closet likely has biohazard gloves, masks, and jumpsuits for dealing with spills and stuff. The auto shop’s equipment room probably has a respirator, helmets, and other gear used to safely work with fluids and machinery.

I'll go read the medical encyclopedia on how to prevent infection, how to diagnose one's health and symptoms.

A quick smile crosses Poopfist's face as he piles the treasures into his backpack. The first smile he had made in many years, but it fades as quickly as it had come.

Poopfist inspects the multi-armed corpse and is reminded of a character in an arcade game he used to play... Those games helped foster his love of gore. He wondered briefly if the arms were functional when this moron was still breathing.

Didn't matter now... He brought his arm back and slammed the crowbar into the head of the corpse. The secrets leaked from the brain and Poopfist leaned down to divine the meaning. Who did this to you and why?

His physical symptoms seem to be fading. He's calming down. He's stopped sweating, and only twitching slightly. His heart rate has returned to normal.

Suicide was a necessity in a time such as this. The weak must always make way for the strong... Poopfist shrugs and scalps the four-armed monster.

Continuing back the way he came, he does the same to the doctor who had scorned him earlier. His nerves had calmed slightly, but those that slighted him had to pay their due... Alive or not.

Did he loot enough? Probably not. But the doctor needed to pay more than just his coat. On top of that, the scarcer supplies became the more his own supplies would increase in value... Yes, that made good sense to him.

Setting the hair on a nearby bed, he nonchalantly strikes the knife against his gigantic piece of flint in an attempt to turn the hospital to a pile of cinders.

You rake your knife over your flint, and a shower of Sparks rain down onto the piled documents littered about the floor. Smoke curls up and flame starts to rise, licking at the walls, and climbing to the ceiling. Satisfied with your handiwork, you exit the hospital, and turn to survey the scene. Smoke billows out the windows, and flames jet into the air. You hear an explosion - must have been a gas line, or pressurized tanks, and you see a section of the hospital collapse. It doesn't take long before the entire building is ablaze.

Hm. Well that settles most of our intel so far and how to keep the infected in check.
Inform the others on our current intel.

Have the others check to see if there are any microwaves around here and power.

Make signs on all entrances leading the room the infected are stored in, warning them not to go inside because of infected. Include a biohazard sign.

I'm tempted to make the sign say:
DON'T INFECTED
OPEN INSIDE


After that, meet up with the others and form a plan with our intel we gathered with the hospital on what we should aim for. I’m thinking of mostly the lab for vaccine or cure research, and any rooms that would contain hazmat gear.

You walk up to the door, and wedge your crowbar into the crack. You pry with all your might, and the door pops free from it's hinge. Inside the convenience store, it is empty, picked clean from previous scavengers. However, you see an entrance to the backroom, a biohazard symbol painted on the door, and the same warning, in bold red lettering.

Poopfist glances around at the empty shelves and frowns even deeper than usual.

They're probably hiding all the good stuff behind that door... Yea, that's what I'd do he thought to himself as he prepared his crowbar to pop yet another door off the hinges.

You make your way from the gas station towards your cave. However, the walk is a quiet and lonesome one. You reach home, and you see Carljack in the antechamber, a fire burning in his completed furnace.

"Anne! You're back! Did you find any tongs or a hammer or something to use as a crucible? I've been collecting ore all day and I think ready to start smelting!"

>>1755789
No worries. Schedules change. Keep your character sheet though, find a safe camp, and if you're ever available know you're free to jump in.

-----

You drive your fire truck up to the burning hospital, and look for a hydrant, but none are readily available. You unwind the hose from the side of the truck, and Rat opens The water valve. A stream of foam shoots out of the hose, and the pressure nearly knocks you on your ass.

>Roll20

>>1755792
You jam your crowbar into the door and pop it off it's hinges. You find yourself in a storage room, mostly vacant now. At two ends of the room, you see men tied to the pipes. One of them is unconscious. The other looks at you. He seems rather agitated.

"Who? Who are you?"

Poopfist doesn't enjoy being questioned. Too many people these days with too many questions... Poopfist walks slowly towards the question-man. The look in his eyes screams "Hit me in the face. Shatter my teeth. Snap my collarbones." but Poopfist wants to let the man talk a bit more before ending his miserable life. He runs the crowbar over the man's cheek and gives him a deviant smile.

"Well.. it's a start I guess. Thanks Anne." He gets dressed.

"Ya know, if you're worried about the folks in that city, I'll come with you to the hardware store, and I'll back you up. We can drink the whiskey to celebrate when we come back. If you're about it..."

Poopfist tilts his head inquisitively. He looks into the man's eyes... He doesn't seem infected by anything like the sign outside said, but it's hard to tell. Most of what he senses is fear. Poopfist turns to walk away, in hopes that the man will offer something in exchange for his freedom.

Poopfist's ears perk up at the word 'weapons'. There is only so much one can do with a knife and a crowbar... Fire was a fine ally as well, but it took time to create. Firepower with the squeeze of a trigger? Yea... That was a necessity.

Poopfist trusts that he found all the weapons the fellow was talking about, but there was more information to be extracted...

He refused to let them loose before he found out why they were bound in the first place. The best way to find an infection was to inspect their innards.

Poopfist walks over to the unconscious prisoner and looks into the eyes of his friend as he drives his knife into the fellow's stomach. He rolls the fellow over, lets the guts fall where they may, and inspects them to divine the correct course of action.

Athletics or Endurance since you'd be dodging through a burning building breathing in smoke and dealing with intense heat. Maybe search to spot the switch in a smoky obfuscated room.

You charge into the building. It's hot in there. The walls glow with embers, and smoke rises.

The flames are extinguished.

The entrails slop onto the floor. The other prisoner is screaming now in the corner, tears rolling down his face, but you ignore him. You examine the signs hidden in the flesh on the ground.

The caduceus... The man had come from the hospital. The bull. Great stamina... Great rage. The skull... a poison, most foul. And underneath it all, a faintly metallic, bitter aroma, reminiscent of the strange chemical you carried in your canteen. It hits your senses. It's overwhelmingly powerful and enticing.

Poopfist rose to his feet and walked toward the other prisoner... He ran one hand through the man's matted hair and gave him a look of sympathy before gripping it tightly and pulling his head back. His neck exposed, Poopfist drove his knife deep and brought it across.

>>1755941
By the way, what were the previous rolls for the building and evacuation plans for? Was that because of the high-stress situation, doing it quickly, or the fire and smoke? Or was it like a search roll but using the building plans instead?

>However, in the burned out wreckage, you see that the entrance to the quarantine ward has also been chained off.
If that's the case, then how would any other workers manage to get their gear? There must be a secondary storage.
Look around the lobby for any notes regarding any biohazard secondary storages and decontamination room.

You follow the group through the woods. In the distance you see an old lumber mill between the trees. People roam about it, many of them injured, missing limbs. There's a campfire in the center of town where folks are cooking an evening meal. You see a supply depot set up by a non-functional lumber saw, and a man, badly burned on a crutch, trading with people as they approach.

I tilt my head curiously. Who're these, then? I start to step out towards them when I see the one duck down behind a car and motion to the other. Wait, this ain't a trap is it? I duck back behind the corner and peer out, now paranoid about all this....

Get the rest of the crew to go to the decontamination room, which is likely these ones, decontaminate their gear, then put on the hazmat gear.
Swap out the surgical, mechanics, and civilian gear, we don't need that for this hospital. Store them in an empty box to move back later.

After that, check outside to see if the volunteers from earlier are still around.

Put on the mechanics gear, check the sprinkled lobby and make sure all the sprinkler pipes are set back safely. Do the same with any of the fire hydrants used, and follow the building plans and explosion to where the explosion originated from.
It was a bit redundant if I was doing it like that, but that's a part of the job experience.

You double check the sanitation on your gear. Once everything is up to snuff, you don it, and start to proceed into the hospital. Judging from the building plans, the explosions came from the lab. You make your way there.

The corpses you were told of are badly burned now, indistinguishable masses of charred flesh. You find your way to the lab. Amidst the chaos, you find several ruptured tanks. They probably contained pressurized gas. Of what nature, it is hard to tell now.

That might be the case from long range, but if he's allowed into close range a handgun will easily have the upper hand... Poopfist retreats further into the base and while running he searches for any items that will turn the battle further in his favor.

I can't let him do anything to Patchwork Barry... I cautiously move inward, being as quiet as possible. I doubt he's been in here before, so he might not know the layout. I can't trust that, though since he and that tribal feller work together... I ready my bow for another shot.

Yeah, I just hope I'm not abusing anything.

From what I can tell, it's directly for learning, which is from experience, knowledge, or tutors.
It stems from a liberal arts education, or similar occupations that'd lend itself to the acquisition of knowledge. Or, I guess the Scholar occupations.
It also primarily helps with documents, literacy, or reading in general, which is most of the time spent. It seems to assist in analysis by extension, or investigation.
So mostly a support skill.

>You see no signs, but you do see some bloody footprints on the floor. There may or may not have been a fight.
Hm... Check to see if both sides left any notes around or left any signs before the fight started. Avoid touching the blood, prudence is best.

Poopfist knows he has the advantage at close range and holds the huntsman by the upper arm so he can't step back to stabbing range. He would like to unleash the revolver into this fellow, but he had dropped it on the floor in attempting to hold the huntsman close enough for him to not be a threat.

Poopfist's confused look turns to a grimace. It might be the huntsman's house, but there was no sign posted... Poopfist can understand words, but that point seems to be long passed. With two arrows inside of him he could really use a booster... Either the morphine or adrenaline from his bag, but he can't reach either at the moment. He takes the only route available and takes a couple of wide swings for the huntsman's head with his crowbar.

You and Carljack have made your way to the ruins once again. You walk on the interstate, past the train yard and the warehouses, to the shopping plaza. The hardware store looms in the distance. The people who chased you, nowhere to be seen.

Carljack makes his way through the parking lot, spear in hand, taking cover behind cars as he advances. Eventually, he makes his way to the front door, and motions to you to advance, keeping cover behind a pillar. He pulls out his bow and keeps watch over the lot as you begin to advance.

Poopfist let the rage take control of him... Not a great idea, but even outgeared he gave the huntsman quite a fight. He felt satisfied, if not somewhat worse for the wear...

Poopfist limped around his cell, looking for windows. Even just a toothpick might be enough to free him from his bonds...

He wouldn't try to kill the huntsman again, at least not until he had some equivalent gear...

Hes packing in some belongings, a few necessary items. He asks you to turn over a few practical items for him. Notably a cane, made of oak, and carved, a handgun and a box of ammunition, and a very fine straight handled knife. You have to dig through mountains of oddies to acquire them for him. You see him packing food and water and his bedroll. He seems like hes moving.

Personally I think what Patrick has used the most so far or done the most significantly is: +1 Learning, +1 Medicine, and +1 Melee, Search, or Endurance. I'm not sure what the 3rd one would be, since those rolls haven't come as much as the former two.
The upgrades you gave Patrick would make him less squishy compared to everyone else though.

What's the difference between Endurance and Athletics? Is Endurance sort of like constitution or stamina and Athletics is speed and maneuverability?

Athletics is like your reflexes, top speed, raw bursts of strength,, tumbling, making sure you dont fall into the chasm that just opened up in the floor. Stuff like that.

Poopfist stares incredulously. Slowly he covers his mouth again and shakes his head. This was not going to turn out well, but there was no way he could explain who he was....

Suddenly an idea struck him and he made a writing motion with an imaginary pen his hand. Again he repeated the covering of his mouth, and then the writing motion. Nodding feverishly he hoped this fellow would get the idea.

He didn't like answering questions, but he also didn't want that molotov to come his way. He looks outdoorsy enough that it wouldn't take him long to find the flint rock, the knife, and put 2 and 2 together.

Poopfist tilts his head... The fellow was nice enough not to kill him, he figured he could extend the same courtesy. But sending him back into the waste without his supplies? That was as good as a death sentence...

I set the Molotov a fair distance away and take the keys in my off hand. I extend my other hand to the bars, not all the way in but at the edge. "Ya don't even need to say yes ta stayin'.

"Yer gear, righ'? Well, follow me. An' don't be scared o' me. Ya really can't talk, can ya?" I lead him through to the armory, making sure he doesn't look as I punch in the code to unlock it. Once open, I'll grab his stuff, all kept together, and hand it to him with care.

Poopfist shakes his head in response to the question and shrugs. As Poopfist walks with his head low... He feels a bit of humility for what might be the first time in his life. He owed this fellow a great debt, and didn't want to be a burden. He wouldn't stay and weigh this guy down, but he would try his best to repay him before setting off.

As Jippy handed him the gear, he slipped it all back into place. Knife and magnum in coat pockets; then the bat, crowbar, flint, and molotovs into the backpack... Carefully separated by a sleeping bag.

Seeing all of his things again made him feel nice and he gave Jippy one of the quickest smiles possible. Poopfist rose to his feet and clapped his hand to his mouth, dancing a little... The way he saw old Indians do it in John Wayne westerns. He dragged his finger across his throat, and nodded to Jippy... Extending him a bit longer smile, with quite a bit more maliciousness in it.

"Wanna set right to it, eh? Well I don't know where he might be. Last I know of, he had some mebbe allies back a ways near this quarry. No idea if'n he still there, but there were at least four then. Dunno if'n jes you an' I can take em alone, not as we is. So, wanna see what we can dig up? I found a workin' train yesterday." We get set up right, figger this place out... Might be able to do more than just end ma stalker...

Poopfist looked down at himself, then at Jippy... The fellow was right. Pure rage hadn't been able to overcome a good set of armor. And there was only one of them. Poopfist might've been crazy, but he certainly wasn't stupid.

He acknowledged the statement with a nod, pointing to Jippy's armor and then to the dirty labcoat he was wearing.

But he was in no state to travel, he held up a finger to ask Jippy to wait and pulled the medkit from his backpack to heal whatever he was able to.

I don't want to mess up, really. If I try to help, is there a possibility it could heal incorrectly? I would rather heal myself because nobody but myself would be frusturated at me if I fail.

That's some gallows humor right there.

Thanks for confirming.
>+1 Medicine, +1 Learning, +1, +1 Melee
If I may ask, is it possible to allocate multiple level-up skill points in one skill if appropriate?
If so, then I think +2 Learning and +1 Medicine would be more appropriate for Patrick at this level, reflecting what he did most or most significantly.
