Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Most if not all of the party should sign off on any deal you make.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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
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?Last edited by Volthawk; 2020-11-12 at 12:09 PM.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
The way you handled the former slaves earns you all another 2 Character Points.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.

Who's taking what? And do you need me to help you look the weigh and value of the stuff?

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
Yeah, giving Tariq the speedloaders makes sense to me.

Done. Three speedloaders given to Tariq.

You've reached the radar base. Now, how and where do you want to get into it?

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.Last edited by Shoot Da Moon; 2020-11-23 at 09:01 AM.

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
The 900 lbs. of junk is worth $90. But that isn't what you're interested in, is it?

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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!

Re: Worse Than the Disease OOC
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.)?
