OOC Chapter 3 Lone Wanderers

Ok, just a few things which i wanted to mention...

The recon team is in some sort of Experimentation lab probably located on the 6th floor under the university. Thats one floor below the med labs.

This floor is like a vault place and little sound gets out so Reggie and the others won't have heard the commotions so shouldn't be aware of the others below.

The recon team are infact lost and are in search of another way out as the other way seems to have some new tennants.

With the electricity back on, the elevator should work so the group can easily get to the med labs from level four.

Remember, these creatures have access through the full university (They can get to the people on the surface for food as Welsh mentioned) so by night time which is just about here there going to become pretty damn active no matter what level people are on.

Tought i'd just post these so if anyone want's to post they know whats what.

Oh welsh, what level do you figure Pip and his friend are on?

Cheers
 
Just to clear this up...

When i mentioned the six man team, i wasn't including the lieutenant which means there were 7 members all together.

Two have fallen victim to the beasts below so there are now 5 remaining soldiers. The lieutenant Lyall, Cleary, the head strong Mitzi and two other members which havn't been named yet. These can be called what ever you like or i will give them names next time i post. Which ever is good with you all...

cheers
 
By all means, we have two interesting encounters happening. A set piece battle with a little commando action going with the Oprezki, and then there is the horror story going on at the University basements. Either one is full of surprises so have fun with it and add on.

Oh and Pip and Andy/Niles are somewhere else in the University basements. Where, well, lets see how the story pans out. Rogue, use this as ever you may wish.

I'm going to need to take off for about a week... Roadtrip.

I don't that will be much of a problem, although I am thinking that one of the first things that Reggie does at the hospital is fix Kelli's back- spinal fusion and bone and muscle reconstruction- good thing the ghouls are good doctors. THen he will have to replace Syphon's arm. Rogue has been posting a lot lately, but your character is more or less unconscious and probably will remain that way through much of this.

Still, your character should be up and about when you return, and perhaps the story at the Univ. will not be quite finished.
 
kudos to Roguehex for the stuff at the University so far. One thing Rogue and Syphon-
You two might want to pm each other about what was planned and desired for the cases of Kelli and Syphon.

Kelli's body was pretty well crushed, so there will probably be some bone reconstruction and perhaps mechanical implants. Syphon will probably get a mechanical arm. Considering what was done to Grim early in this chapter, almost anything is possible- but almost everything should have some consequences- just to keep it fair.
 
I would most certainly agree. I think we shall need to keep in contact for the duration of this one or at the least to find out your ideas Syphon. I have a few my self but I’d be happy to throw them your way before posting anything.

Well, by result of unpopular and abnormal working hours forced upon me by my even more unpopular crazed manager I will not be posting this fine evening.
I tell you it’s scandalous, bloody scandalous! Just because I’m under 18 and a student they think they can damn well treat me like a slave!

Well, I’m not going to stand for this crappy oppression any longer!

*Shakes fists* the bastards.

*Runs off to find an angry mob chanting "Burn the lot of em."

Bah! Soon I'll be 18 and then we'll see who has the last laugh. SOON I tell you!

But do not despair amigos, I will be back in full swing tomorrow.

ciaos
 
Hey guys. I'm back. Remember me?

Skik still around? Or did you finally get sick of waiting for me and kill'em off?

Also, I plan to stay around this time, don't worry.
 
Well Atreides- Nice to have you back with us. Skik is still alive and well but behind the caravan. Actually we don't know what he's been up to but there are a variety of story issues where he could play a part.

I am going to ask the rest of you what you think about this. In the meantime if you want to start a second character, by all means, have fun.

Also, we are coming to an end to Chapt 3 and getting up for Chapt 4. What are you thoughts on this. Gunslinger has Pm'd me a few thoughts, but I think we should open up this discussion here. What do you all think about the next chapter?
 
As already mentioned on character's thread (which shouldn't really have been on there but is entirely my fault), I'd rather have you make a new character. There's sidestory going on that will include Skik. Unless you're keen on massive collaboration with me, you can still do Skik's part.

But it'll be easier if you just start over again since Skik has been go for a while. You're quite lucky he isn't dead, in fact, considering the length of absence.

Yeah. I noticed the thread on what was allowed for charachters, can I assume i'm still more-or-less limited to ghouls and humans?
 
Ok, Smar I would like you to edit this part of your last post-

OOC: This is just a test post for Dreg, remove it if it doesn't fit.

"Grrraaarr" He After 3 or 4 minutes, he saw his chance. He crept up behind the sneaker, and jabbed a section of his neck, whilst covering his mouth. He had stunned the man, like soo many other men, except he knew the stunn wouldn't work for much longer. That was when a rocket came whooshing through the air, hitting behind the heard of horses. Then all hell broke loose.

for the simple reason that I don't think Reaper has finished his post. From what I recall, Reaper was about to take out a group near a campfire, the last obstacle before getting to the coral.

Based on this, your chracter has just managed to sneak up on the resident assassin. In otherwords you have out done Gabriel which i would have a hard time believing. Simply, Gabriel's character, a nightblade, would probably be on to your character before he got close.

Secondly, it's interrupting the story. Reaper still needs to finish this post and I know its taking a bit long for him to finish, but this is a cooperative effort. Give him the chance to finish.

Thirdly, I think this mucks up the story. I don't know if the horses have been freed yet, and the rocket attack is not to happen until Reaper would probably give you the signal.

Now I am not saying change everything. But change at least this last bit. Perhaps a conversation with Reaper, or allow the two characters to meet.

You asked before about comments on your writing. Ok, here are a couple-
(1) you are too often strong arming the story. TA cooperative effort means that you should PM Reaper and see if you can work something out for your character meeting his, and perhaps an alliance being formed. At least you could ask him what he has planned before you stun him.

(2) I know you want to play strong characters, but bullying your way through is not going to make you many friends.

(3) patience. This is hard, and I don't always have it. But let the other characters post what they have to post. Wait for it. In the meantime develop your own story.

(4) your character doesn't have to be the biggest bad ass to have fun. Rogue, for instance is taking the story in many new directions and isn't even playing her character.

Ok?

So please edit this so that you have not knocked out Gabriel but perhaps have met him and maybe even decide to work together.

Reaper- when are you going to finish this up?
 
Ok. Could someone send me a PM summing up where we are? I'm going to read over the chapter, but a summery would still be helpfull.
 
Well actually the chapter is coming to an end.

THe caravan trip out of Tabis has been a long and painful one. Among the important events and learning experiences-

(1) discovery of numerous new monsters- Trogs, Gimmerling, Abominations, etc.
(2) Discovery of an underground train where we picked up Nat, a hooker/medic who can also shoot and is something of a refugee from the League
(3) That someone has murdered Border Patrol men
(4) there is a spy among us
(5) Another one of those robotic implants
(6) A university run by ghouls that was involved in some unusual research
(7) The Oprezki has shown up in force
(8) A clan of refugees escaping from Mexico (with the Oprezki on their ass) but which have also introduced horses to the wasteland.
(9) That the plague is alive and well
(10). some new characters
(11) the Slayers have allied with the League- but what about Gabriel?
(12) Men in power armor are hard to kill
(13) Avoid wandering around abandoned genetics labs after dark.
(14) Someone else has some interesting weapons.
(15) Marcus is dead but made a fine tasting soup.

And there is more

In addition Caleb has been wondering the wastes with Jeeva trying to get to Grey Cliffs. Grey Cliffs is being held by a band of Blades fighting off a group of League troops plus Slayers

At present the caravan crowd is raiding a large group of Oprezki. We are currently held up waiting for Reaper to post.

THe folks at Grey Cliffs are taking the battle to the enemy.

Syphon a new character is flat lining while getting a mechanical arm.

Pipboy, a new character has been stolen by a creature that is half dead man/half functioning robot.

So what are the combined thoughts on Chapter 4. Gunslinger? This is a good time for you to bring your ideas to the table.
 
Right then. These are all me cards out on the table, gentleman.

Obviously, the main conflict will be between the Blades (the good guys) against the League (the bad guys). Of course, there'll be auxiliary forces aiding both main forces (maybe Border Patrol for the Blades and the Slayers for the League). Then there's the upcoming surge of Oprezki which will be gunning for the League.

As of now, the Blades in Grey Cliffs are protecting the town because they are capable of manufacturing a species of alternative fuel which will be vital for the war machines of both the League and the Oprezki. The mobilization of the main Blade army will be difficult. There are many Blades scattered around camps located near key locations (though some of the camps have been destroyed) and the Blades do not possess radios. So a general rally will have to be sent to each camp by word of mouth. Then the Blades will have to return back to the Fatherland (which is located somewhere to the Northeast - I'm thinking Maine) to pickup supplies. But then the influx of horses (not to sure about that issue yet) will probably make things easier.

Anyway, our heroes will probably working on hitting the League where it hurts the most. There's also the opportunity for Gabriel spearheading an initiative to restore the corrupted Slayers.

Oh, one more thing. There's a Reactor that the ghouls control. The ghouls are technologically proficient to theoritcally manufacture energy weapons. This is a big problem for the bad guys since the ghouls are pretty keen on Grim, Rogue, and Caleb for helping them out. So, naturally, the League will be sending a force to do something about this.

Fang is still alive. And Fang is a corrupt Slayer. Last we heard from him, he and a few fellow Slayers had been lost in the battle in the sewers. And the sewers lead to the heart of the Reactor. Uh-oh. Fortunately, we've got some heroes to help: Skik, Horus, Yacob, Wally. The ghouls have already evacuated back to the Reactor. So Fang is on the loose for now.

So there you go, gents.
 
Thanks!

If no one minds, I'm just goint to create a new charachter. It should make things much simpler.
 
Go for it but please, make sure you read through.

Also, the rpg is becoming more about creative writing than strictly RPG. RPG is more at Kilrick than on Lone Wanderers.

Ok, other thoughts about Chapt 4.

Well I can't seen the Blades plus allies winning in the long run. Four Slayers in power armor gave the caravan a good fight. If there are more than that at Grey Cliffs it woudl be difficult. Add auxilliary forces and chances are the real League troops aren't pussies either, it would be a tough fight.

So I think in the end Grey Cliffs will be lost. Whether the group escapes, does a scorched earth on Grey Cliffs or gets overrun, I am not sure about. I am pretty sure that, unless you folks figure out who the spy is, the spy will reveal himself or herself in Chapter 4.

Gunslinger noted that it was unlikely that the Blades would volunteer themselves to be the saviors of the wastes, and I think he's right. Chances are they would need to be convinced. So I would imagine the Blades will eventually go back to their bastion until they work out what they will do and what role they will want to play.

At the same time there are other groups that could be brought into the fold for the coming battle. Perhaps Red Waters. There are quite a few places in Fangs World that have yet to be visited. Also the De Silvas will probably either decide to lay down roots or will move onwards. That is still undecided.

Let me add that Mandrake is still enroute and will make an appearance sometime quite soon. While it is possible that we will run into more Oprezki, especially if they are handed a righteous defeat. However, I doubt they will make an appearnace in any real strength for a while yet.

Rogue, what are you thinking about the University?

Reaper- what do you think about the story of the Slayers?
 
Ok, recent message from reaper-
Oh shit, sorry. I haven't even been checking e-mails recently. Work has hit me like a charging pack of wildebeast. It ain't cool at all. I am really sorry.

I may be able to do something this weekend, but if you can't wait, then I guess you'll have to stick something in for me. I am really sorry.

Reaper should be posting this weekend. I will post something to keep it going.
