Because we want to be aware of them to counteract them.
But I could be persuaded to scout on the water instead or just general exploration. Or even building outriggers or blowing up the rafts.

Edit: @Vanestus are you wanting to get at other crates? Because if it's wood your after I think we have a lot at the moment.

Day 11 morning
  • Threadmarks
    • Day 11 morning

    You check the remaining barricades and traps. They are undamaged and the walled off door looks good in the mornings light

    Last night you lost your power resulting in 2 days of fresh fish going bad. This mornings catch replaced the loses and you have decided to run the smoke hut today.(food lose restarts)(gain 3 days food{full ration})

    Will you go back to half rations or stay on full rations?
    [ ]Half rations
    [ ]Full rations

    Improvements:

    The first thing you do after your morning rounds is to send one of the canoes out with 4 people in it to scout out the surrounding waterways. You ask them to get a general feel for the area and if they find anything to make a note of it for latter and not investigate right now.

    You also set a small group the task of dissecting and butchering the beasts' corpse and ask Diana to supervise as best she can. You take the beast's corpse out it to the yard so it can be dissected in the best light you have. You also start running the smoke house with the raw fish you have so that as the beast is butchered you can also smoke it's meat.

    You are getting tired of referring to it as the beast and decide to call it a:
    [ ]Write in name

    General Actions:

    You have the remaining people split into two groups. One group is coming with you on the Library Raid while the other group explores the surrounding area for equipment and any threats or dangers they can find.(Raid turn)

    Exploring the surrounding area yields mixed results. Much of the equipment you find is either you have no idea what it does, is useless to you or unmovable. That does not mean they return empty handed as they are beginning to realize that all they can expect to have is what they have on hand. As this is the case they start to bring any find straight back as the find them.
    You gain:
    18 car batteries
    4 sets of heavy duty block and tackles
    assorted mechanics tools
    metal scrap
    3 stacks of wooden pallets
    1 pallet jack(+1 to moving crates not shipping containers)

    They might have found more but they cut the search short when the search for threats part of the job succeeded. They found the beasts' lair or more correctly the lair of the beasts. They are lairing in a damage truck yard near the river. Finding signs of the beasts activities they approach carefully. Inside they see what looks like 5 large nests but before they can get a closer look one of the group spots the fact that one of the nests is currently occupied by a sleeping beast. This causes them to decide to leave the area and return to the warehouse.

    [X]Full rations
    Because we have a pretty decent food income, and will be getting even more when the micro greens are ready to harvest (on day 21?).

    Name? Um ... Well the description kind of reminds me of a bull terrier or possibly a shark? So maybe Sharkdog, Sharkhound? Bullshark? Though we might want to name it someting shorter that's quicker to shout a warning about? maybe portmanteau it? Shog? Or name it the same way you did the bangers, by what it does. Although I'm not entirely sure what that is... Stalker?
    Undecided as of yet.

    It's worked pretty well so far, hasn't it? Although if anyone has any suggestions for improvement I'd be happy to switch. I just cant think of anything myself. Maybe remind people that the beast was easier to kill if you could reach it's belly and try to plan on what to do if attacked by another one? Two or three fighters trying to hold it up with spears so the fourth could get at the belly? ... I'm rambling.

    Our work in moving the crates just got so much easier. Yes!

    Nice game you got here prince84, got just the right amount of 'fun' and 'WTF' that any good zombie game needs. Makes me really look forward to see where you will take things here.

    i wish for a zombie game where the PCs are in a high rise apartment/tower where they can 'observe' their newly generated world.

    Day 11 Library Raid

    • Day 11 Library Raid


    You get your team organized and ready for the trip. Almost from the start thing go differently than before. First you end up having to detour several times to avoid active groups of Bangers. This causes you to go through areas with few back alleys and poor cover. When you do find cover someone always ends up making a loud noise or gets caught up on something.


    By the time you reach the Library you are beginning to worry about how long it has taken. Until you get a look at the library then it is replaced by other worries. Part of the roof has collapsed but that is not what worries you what worries you is that despite the libraries large windows and glass doors you can not see in to the building. This is because the inside looks like it has been plastered with a combination make up of paper mache and shredded carpet even the doors are covered with it. This combined the the sounds of movement coming from inside cause you to call off the raid as you feel that the risk is just too high.


    If you thought the trip out was bad the return trip was worse. Almost as soon as you start back you run into another group of Bangers as you leave an alley and have to make a run for it. The scouts provide a distraction as the salvagers try to get a head start. Remembering how the Banger you stabbed before did not react to the wound the scout use the spears to trip them or push them over buying you the time you need to get away.


    You manage to get back to base with no more difficulty but your failure hangs heavily over everyone.(-1 morale)

    I hope it's not the nest of something that prefers paper... that would be really bad for our chances of more knowledge.

    But yeah, good to see more of this quest.

    We should really be trying to get news, or anything really, from the radio pretty regularly, but preferably at different times of day, just in case someone's transmitting something, but only at twilight or something, because that fits with their routine. If we then only check at noon, then obviously we wouldn't hear anything.

    We should raid the brewer's store pretty soon. Getting drunk would be stupid in this situation, but they probably have yeast and sugar and maybe some equipment we could appropriate, like a still or something. Bottles could be useful too. And even if we (hopefully) are smart enough to avoid drinking the alcohol, there are other uses for it. I'm still choosing to raid the gas station first, because it will probably have more variety of loot and a chance of a local map again, which we need. Also there's a chance we can get more firewood from it.

    The outriggers are so we can transport things more safely on the canoes.
