Hours of researching the precursor to the Abrahamic religions, finding and reading their holy literature. All for a one shot where the players will hardly get any of it.

If that is not a sign that I'm insane, then I don't know what is. (Zoroastrianism, a faith system from the Persian Empire based off of a duality of good and evil, mostly known for their fire worship.)
Unless you play crusader kings, in which case you know it mainly for the incest.
 
Ah, I see you are a man of culture.


Normally, armor doesn't stack without perks.

My reaction is a theme song for Riley "Breaker" Lynch.
 
I got mildly inspired by the character creation session, and decided to finish statting out my zealot character concept. They too went through a lot of changes over the course of their creation; they became an Anabaptist as soon as i learned that faction existed, and they then became a girl because i liked the mild Joan of Arc parallels. Without further ado, i present to you Miss Meatshield Accumulator herself.

Name: Carolyn Tyler
Gender: Female
Physical Description:
A 40-ish, 5 ft 4 woman with shoulder length brown hair, a collection of scars pockmarked across most of her body, and a badly set broken nose.
Backstory: Carolyn was just one city girl among millions before the bombs hit and she was caught in and increasingly chaotic and irradiated city center. Months of desperate scavenging, fighting, and several blows to the skull later, she escaped into the countryside with nothing but the clothes on her back, a burning hatred of mutants, and a collection of voices in her head telling her to gather the righteous in the name of God. She met some like-minded folks out there who agreed that the world was suffering from a lack of faith, and has spent the last few decades trying to do just that. The seeming futility of it all has worn quite thin, but faith carries her forward regardless.

Welp I'm boned. Rolled a 3 and adding my stats only brings it up to a 5. Nice talking to you guys for all of *looks at watch* 30 minutes.
Well, we're on our way as soon as Schrodinger's Valerian collapses his wave state, so unless we flub this you should have at least a little chance.
EDIT-anyway it's one AM so see you in the morning

Hey I'm just gonna wait for the others to do something cause, right now I don't trust my rolls not to get me killed.
 
Moving towards saving Reily. Might need to shoot out a window. We will see.

So IM! Should I roll Stealth and then a Projectile attack to shoot out the light, just to make it MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY!?
 
COMMENCING VIRTUOUS MISSION!



Update: That's a 17 on the stealth. Evaded the Cannibals, now to go full stealth and shoot out the light. Well on my way to saving the Irish.

Update: 12 on the light shooting. Virtuous Mission failed, operative noticed. Commencing Operation Knock Knock.

Well, Jeb noticed me, but if it's any consolation, he'll be more focused on me (MEAT!) than you, Riley.
