    Most if not all of the party should sign off on any deal you make.

    That sounds good to me.

    As far as haggling goes, defaulting with the half reaction mod bonus gives Richard a skill of 9 - if anyone actually has the skill, they'll probably be better, but as defaulting goes it's not bad. However, whether Richard does it or someone else, he can use his Diplomacy 13 as a complementary skill, which should help a little, but I'm still not sure whether it's worth the risk of a failure driving the price up.

    I'm willing to simply say the proposed deal goes through as written above, with no edge going to either side. You don't have to haggle to get a better deal.

    Sean will carry the rifle ready for use, loaded and with bayonet attached. He'll pack the crossbow and the bolts somewhere into/onto the backpack. This frees some weight, so Sean will put on the gauntlets if we don't sell them (see below). Do gauntlets count as brass knuckles for brawling?

    Now, for appropriating the rest of the loot. I think, unless there are proposals to the contrary, we'll use general partnership and/or communism to allocate the tasks and resources, so it's no big deal who's found what, who's carrying what, etc. With that in mind, we have a small knife, a spare magazine, 5 more pills and a pair of gauntlets perfectly available for sale if we really need something. This is all sufficiently portable and potentially usable stuff, so I would not hurry to get rid of it if we do not, but the men are giving us good enough price, so take a look at your wish-lists to see if there is something you want to have sooner rather than later.

    Yes.

    Moving the campaign onward, you guys have encountered another group of people the next day at lunch.

    Nothing leaps out as being important for Richard - as far as I can see, he's mostly just looking for better versions of what he has. Another pistol would be nice, but that's mostly a luxury and not urgent.

    Might be worth trying for a speedloader if they have it, though, since Tariq's using a revolver, but I'll leave whether or not he wants/needs it to him.

    In terms of the loose gear, Richard will take the knife if it's going spare (since he currently lacks anything cutting), and can carry just under 15 lbs more stuff without moving up into heavy:
    Spoiler
    Show

    Weight: 68.75 lbs
    Encumbrance: Medium (-2 Dodge, *0.6 BM)
    Thresholds: Light 29, Medium 58, Heavy 87

    Weapons (rifle over shoulder, baton worn on belt, ammo in pockets, shield in sack):
    Cheap Remington Rolling Block (9.2 lbs)
    13 Rifle Cartridges (0.65 lbs)
    5 Shotgun Cartridges (0.25)
    Baton (1 lb)
    Light Shield (2 lbs)

    Clothes/Armour (all worn for travel):
    Leather Jacket, Leather Pants, Leather Helm, Leather Gloves, Shoes (9.5 lbs)
    Furs (1 lbs)
    Snowshoes (5 lbs)

    Miscellaneous (tent in one hand, basics and blanket in sack, sack in other hand):
    Personal Basics (1 lb)
    Sleeping Blanket (4 lbs)
    Bulky Tent, 2-man (18 lbs)
    Sack (3lbs, 22.65/40 lbs capacity used)

    Food (all in sack):
    Rations (22 meals) (11 lbs)
    3 Water Bottles (0.15 lbs)
    - 3 pts clean water (3 lbs)


    On another note, how are we handling spending those CP we earned? Can we spend them now on the road (with the standard 'only on stuff related to what you actually did' caveat), or should we wait until we've stopped travelling?

    Either wait for some downtime to spend them on any (valid/rules legal) trait through study or whatever, spend them now on the road for only stuff you actually did, or see out a trainer/manual to improve on the road stuff you didn't actually do.

    Since no-one else chimed in, I'm gonna rule Sean goes hunting.

    He and the former slaves finds a lone wolf. The rules on Hunting in AtE2 tell us what to roll next.

    Shall we take 30 meals from the wolf, and leave the former slaves with the other 30? Are we still considering Simone to be with us, or are you just going to write her out? I see the player is still active on this board, but seems to have abandoned this game.

    I PM'd her player before. The player is suffering from anxiety. I can retcon her out of the campaign no problem. Or NPC her.

    I'd rather let them have the whole wolf, and butcher it too. If they don't have a knife and we'll be participating in the butchering, I'd take enough fresh meat for the dinner and breakfast, so 8 pounds total. We can hunt when we have to, without major problems, and they'll need all the food they can get.

    I'd keep her as an NPC forever. One of many NPCs when reinforcements arrive, so presumably no big deal.

    Yeah, Richard would rather they get as much of the food as possible.

    Sorry to hear that about Simone's player. Yeah, I'd rather NPC her - I suppose we can leave her at the Waffle House on our return (or even at the installation to work on everything, I suppose).

    Sorry for the quietness for the last day or two, had limited internet access.

    Sounds good!

    How close are we? I kind of figured we would be there already, going 15 miles per day.

    I was rather expecting to walk on the surface. Is there ice strong enough to carry a man? Does it seem like it froze after the mines were planted? Does it seem like it would carry us all the way past the mine field? Also, what are fence posts made from? Wood?

    No.
    The mines are planted in another area of the base, the swimming pool is basically on the other side.
    Getting past the minefield would get to another part of the base than if you swam in.
    Fence posts are metal poles.

    If the harness does not work, will be exactly at zero. The hope is that if it's on the line halfway to the roof, and not just climbing the tree, the harness should be engaged. The harness was not tested before the event. Do we roll something to test?

    Well...no.

    You got no skill on your character sheet that would help that much.

    Sorry.

    Tariq didn't specify an area of the base to scavenge. So I just assumed he meant the ground floor office room.

    EDIT/ADD: BTW, the 600 lbs. junk pile is worth $60.

    Not so much, but Tariq is excited to have found loot! He'll take the dynamite, fuse cord, and wire cutters (where were you when he needed you earlier?), and bring the water bottle, multi-tool, rations and heroin pill back to the others before continuing his search.

    I currently lack Architecture and Search, but I do have the One-Task Wonder perk for Architecture when planting explosives. May I upgrade to Architecture at IQ by spending a point? Would you allow him to purchase Search and/or upgrade Scrounging? Ah, so many skills to learn, so few points!

    I'll track everything not otherwise taken. This does not mean Sean does anything other than talk.
    1. Is heroin pill the same as the opioid pills we've found earlier?
    2. Any chance of repairing the three smashed cymbal-banging motion-sensing monkey dolls to place them strategically as noise traps / alarms while we camp at the base?
    3. Failing that, any remaining value (battaries, electronic parts)?
    4. What type is the car? How bad does it look (e.g. major parts missing or located nearby, tires, fuel, etc.)?
