Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
The workshop is enough for pretty much any repair. BUT! Those broken guns, IIRC, only have 25% value for the purposes of trade or using them as parts. Repairs on the broken guns use the full value as if they weren't broken for the purposes of parts needed. You will need more parts than you have worked out.
You do not need anything else for fixing the car. All the stuff needed was dumped in the workshop by the previous occupant. All you need to do is roll.
You can choose extra time for one roll, or multiple rolls for short periods of work. It's your decision.
The guns are both about -1xHP. Major repairs will get them working again.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Ah, yeah, so we can only fix the SAA for $100 dollars of junk (200 for +1 to the roll, 400 for +2).

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Alright, that first day had enough successes to fully repair the gun, so Richard's going to spend one of the two days resting - convenient, since looking at the dice roll thread I actually rolled healing for day 16 already in the post I did the IA roll and then forgot about it (hadn't applied it to my sheet), so the way it works out is day 16 resting (healing to 5) and day 17 fully repairing the gun (or vice versa), leaving him resting/free to do other things in future days.
That used up $200 of our junk pile, incidentally. Probably didn't need to use double junk, since I made the decision when I was misremembering the TL modifier as +1 rather than +3, which would've left more to hopefully get up to the Government's cost with this last bit of scavenging, but hey.Last edited by Volthawk; 2021-01-08 at 09:52 PM.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
No objection to this one, a RoF 3 handgun is a good thing to have. Writing off $200 of junk. As for the remaining junk, I don't think we should use it to fix the pistol, even if we find more of it. Steel parts could be machined when we restore the power, so it seems not the best idea to write off a huge pile of junk that could be better used for parts that cannot be machined (electronics, optics, etc.).
Who will take the repaired revolver? Richard? Tariq? I think we should have it on someone at all times, not just in a pile of loot.
Yep. Keeping track of it.
Does this mean I should not issue a whole bunch of rolls for the day?Last edited by u-b; 2021-01-09 at 01:25 AM.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Richard's best skill is Pistols (given it's what he's defaulting off for the rifle), and he currently doesn't have one after giving his old one to Tariq, so him using it is probably a good idea.
That said, has Tariq gotten a bigger gun than Richard's chargen revolver yet? If not, maybe he should have the SAA so he has something punchy (or he takes Richard's rifle and Richard keeps the SAA).

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Yeah, Tariq still has that cheap old gun. How about the following arrangement: Tariq gets the SAA, Richard gets both his old gun and Sean's rifle. So, Richard can make one rifle shot, then fast-draw some handgun. And Sean gets Richard's rifle, which is both more accurate and faster to reload. Objections?

Simone? We'll give it to her, explain how to use it and hope she spends one point.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Try to roll for stuff one day at a time, getting ahead of the IC thread is probably a bad idea.
DAY 17!
Mark off another meal for breakfast, everyone.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Marking off 8 pounds of meat for breakfast and lunch on day 17.
Simone is most likely in the radio room scanning the sectrum.
Please confirm no stash in the radio room.
There are three motion-sensing monkeys as per #271i, one on building entrance, and two others I cannot meaningfully place without a map, but should be somewhere where we don't normally walk on our internal activities, but where the potential intruders are likely to wander.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Richard's been resting for today, so I suppose he'd be where we're sleeping.
He has Tactics 11.
Oh, Richard will take that shortsword if it's going. He has the skill, since it's what batons use, but it has better damage types than his baton so he'll be in slightly better stead if/when a melee happens (although next trading opportunity we should probably sell it because swords are pretty valuable).Last edited by Volthawk; 2021-01-09 at 07:52 AM.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
So that would be the former officer's quarters. I think that's also where we store all the loot we have found, except junk, because that was supposed to be "our" part of the base. Go ahead and take that sword (or, actually, that flamethrower, though I'm afraid it'd take too long to arm).
Sean's Tactics is just 10.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
I think it's not yet my turn to do anything, but it's not too early to ask:
1. I assume most of Sean's gear is in our room, but the rifle is lying somewhere nearby to where Sean is (same room, or, if Sean was moving from one office room to another, even in hand; the last find was junk, so Sean had no reason to visit our room between looting one office room and another), and pocket-sized stuff would be on Sean. Correct?
2. What floor is it? Does the room have windows? How many of them are facing the approach? Are the windows closed with intact glass on them? What would happen to the bullet if Seans shoots straight through the glass?
3. Does Sean have an idea how fast those nanomachines work?

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
1) Yeah. You got your rifle and the pocket sized stuff.
2) You are in the radio room, so second floor. The new people are outside the base. For now. The radio room does not have windows, but they are not far. The windows are closed intact glass. The glass probably won't stop a bullet.
3) Instantly.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Ah, cool, so Richard should be able to grab his gear fairly quickly. On the flamethrower, two Ready actions to light it plus presumably one to actually get the thing, plus potentially one or two for movement to get to the thing and into position still translates to less than ten seconds real-time, so Richard could probably do that without much issue if having the flamethrower would be more useful than another rifle. That said, perhaps he shouldn't rock up to meet them with something that heavy, since he's our best shot at dealing with this without a shootout against a numerically superior force, and flamethrowers and diplomacy don't exactly go hand and hand. Also them having vehicles for cover is a little concerning for the flamethrower idea given how HT talks about them being pretty bad against targets in cover.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
The cover issue, I believe, concerns with solid covers, like maybe even glass. I have no idea how difficult it would be to project liquid into a hex behind the car (it depends on how high the jet would be arching), but burning the car might be a good start. That said, I see the following problems with the flamethrower:
1. It is not loaded with fuel. The loading time is not specified because that activity is normaly performed out of combat. We have the fuel, all right, but it is not in the tank.
2. It fires a two-second jet. I have no idea what you'd like to do with second second given that sticking in the window for two seconds is a suicide.
3. And that's ontop of nobody being trained to use it.
I would counter that a warning shot from a flamethrower could do wonders towards a diplomatic solution, but that might be just me.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the flamethrower plan either, and Richard doesn't feel like he'd go for diplomacy under threat of incineration.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Way not to interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake, guys.
Since combat is very likely to start soon, keep a good eye on the thread so you don't slow the game down.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Does the room Richard's in have line of sight on where they are, or is he going to need to move through the base a bit first?

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
This means Tariq now has two mines with him. If he just runs away to place them strategically somewhere inside, it might be better for his short-term survival and maybe his overall survival (not sure about the later). Also, I wonder what the mines have for the trigger: is it a bog-standard pressure sensor or something more fancy like prongs? If later, maybe he can throw the mines...
