We can keep them along, shows the uneasy truce. Kilrick in one hand wants to the do the rigfht thing, and in the other he has a handful of barves and mercs who want that kids head on a rusty spike.

I'm game. Just don't expect Edden to like it, though she'd respect Kilrick's decision, though she may not get along with Kilrick. Rama keeps her on a leash and Wolf calms her nerves.
 
I'm back.

Sorry, but it's been a busy week. I was thinking whether to go back to sleep or post here.

Guess what I chose :)
 
You could do a lot of things with the woman and the kid.

Of course you have the classic kid can go where adults can't. Could use him as a suicide bomber without his knowledge.

Or we could end up getting more information from them at a later date. After all the Tinkers seem to have travelled far and wide and could have run into many juicy things. The kid or the woman might even know the location of a hidden Tinker weapon or information cache.

We eat the kid?

:rofl:

You are especially going to love what's coming up then.

Some good ideas. Darkcorp's suggestion about having the Tinkers as adding to our knowledge is especially good.

Two women and two kids is a bit much though. I have plans for Angie, Clara we might keep for awhile. We will be losing some of the characters that have become NPCs. One kid we will lose very soon. The other, before the end of the chapter or early in New York.

The thing about NPCs is that they make easy cannon fodder.
 
I'm still not very good with the rules here(like where do i post to ask permission to join?) so ill just ask here. Can i join the story?

<--edit-->

Maybe ill just come in on the next chapter (unless its in a while)
 
yes, this would be a good place to join up. Let me see what I can do to bring you in over the next day. Something short.
 
I apologize for the lack of posting but my internet has been acting up as of late. I will try to get in as many posts as possible but feel free to have Eric either snipe some heads or otherwise provide either recon or medical help.
 
Folks, Darkcorp's problem reminds me to post something regarding, well, posting. We are coming into summer which often leads to "down" time in RPGs. As people go on vacation or lose internet connections, we need to pick them up and carry the story a bit.

Remember the five day rule- don't post you die. So if you are going to be away for awhile and don't want to die, let us know.

If someone isn't posting and you want to move the story, or are just tired of waiting for someone to post.... then post. Don't wait. Take the initiative.

A good story is more important than any one poster and good stories move on momentum. The more you post, the faster the story picks up.

SO if anyone is absent, write up their character a bit. Better that than the story is on perpetual pause.
 
PPL, continue posting!!!

Stakes: If I were you, I'd wait until Welsh comes back and talk to him then.

Edit: sorry about that, just forgot :oops:
 
Stokes, yes, you can join up. We'll just have to figure a way to put you in. Send me a pm and post a character and we'll come up with something interesting for you.

Ok, the crew at the midpoint is Wolf, Rama and Reik. They need to mine the tunnel and get out quickly, then run up to the rest of the group. That will mean crawling around in a crawl space under the roads- Maggot kind of territory. This could go a lot of ways, many ways badly. Have fun with it.

Everyone else is up on the hill either helping pull down the generator or providing cover. There are a few small buildings nearby but it's mostly clear fields of fire with some bramble.

The maggots are small, hairy, foul smelling but quite ferocious with strong claws and teeth. Their greatest assets are (1) Very very fast, and (2) quite strong.

If you go hand to hand with a maggot you will probably bleed.
 
Just thought I'd post a quick hello. To clarify, I am making my way towards those of you providing cover up on the hill.
 
This storyline looks pretty interesting, If it's alright with you welsh, I'd like to get in on it.

Feel free to modify my charicter a bit if you need to to make him fit into the story.
 
Ok, Elli. I probably won't be able to bring you in until the group finishes this section about salvaging the turbine. Stokes introduced his character already, and two new characters at this point might be too much.

However, neither Aaron or Reik have "players" at the moment, so if you want to play one of those characters in the interim, please do. Likewise, Dr. Edwards, Maddy Stowe, Jasmin and Deeds are all NPCs. So are all the maggots. Feel free to adopt any of these at the moment to keep the story going or to write.

In otherwords, don't feel "out" merely because your character has yet to come in.

You might also want to think about Lone Wanderers. There are a lot of NPCs that need a character at the moment. Also the story has taken the turn that I wanted it to for this chapter- kind of a role play post apoc horror story with a really nasty critter.
 
Rohan-

I like your idea for bringing in Dire, but keep them at a distance.

Maggotville is isolated primarily because the maggots can't really leave for being eaten by Dire. But the more the Dire come to town, the more it favors the maggots. So the border between Dire and Maggot territory is unclear and constantly tested.

Also the maggots are numerous, the Dire are few, a couple of packs at best. Chances are they wouldn't risk an attack in daylight because they are smart enough to know better.

Nice idea for plot development.
 
I like the dire idea and might have a suggestion.

The group lures some dire into maggot territory(or wherever we need help with maggots), while at the same time staying safe and picking off both sides.

So while this big ol maggot/dire fight is going, we pick off the sragglers and go rescue our compatriots.
 
Well, chances are the Dire would be too smart to fall for it. ALso in the town the Maggots have the advantage- numerical superiority. Also we don't need to do anything so complicated.

Still, let's see how it goes.
