Day 11 Afternoon
While everyone is disappointed with how the library raid went life goes on and you are determined that your group will too.
Improvements:
The canoes are still out this could be a good sign or a bad one. You will not know until they return.
When you returned the team dissecting the beast wanted to how you some thing. As you approach the carcass you notice that they are now using gloves and are using sticks and handles to poke something inside the body. Looking inside you see what looks like a black ribbon wrapped around the beasts major arteries. When someone pokes the ribbon it starts to flex for a few seconds before relaxing again. You think it might still be alive.
Talking to the team they say it seems to be found on the arteries inside the torso and not the rest of the body. They are unable to agree on what to do so you must make the decision.
They have not started to smoke the meat. What do you have them do.
[ ]Smoke it all, the smoke should kill it.
[ ]Pick it out then smoke all the beast.
[ ]Remove all the organs and smoke the remainder.
[ ]Remove the limbs and smoke them while you dump the body.
[ ]Nope not eating any of that thing the risks are too high
[ ]Write in
General Actions
You decide to chance one more raid today and are heading out to the eastern gas station.(Raid post)
This time when you check the radio you luck out. Flipping through the radio station you find two that are being use. The first is a group from a different city sharing the information that they have gained so far most of which you have already found out but there are two pieces that are new to you. First that whatever is happening is the infected thing are staying out of the water making waterways one of the safest way of traveling. Secondly that there is a creature that looks like a hybrid between a rat and a termite that seems to be making hives in empty building. These creature seem to be about a foot and a half in size.
The other channel is a local broadcast. It is a small group holed up asking for rescue. While the are safe they are out of supplies and have injured with them. After listening for awhile you decide that they seem to be close enough to the river that they could be rescued by canoe and after looking at your map you decide that you might be able to combine their rescue with scouting the castle. The earliest you can do either is tomorrow as the canoes are still out on the water.
Finally you start to work on building the outriggers for the canoe but between everything you barely get started.(Lock in)

[X]Nope not eating any of that thing the risks are too high
-[X] At least not until we know a lot more. We should experiment a bit, though.
--[X] Submerge a part with the black thing in water. See if it kills it. Discard the water at a safe distance later (not in the river).
--[X] Smoke a part with a black thing. See if it kills it. Stay out of the smoke. Do not use your smokehouse, but set up a makeshift one next door or somehing.
--[X] Try to fry/grill a part with a black thing. See if it kills it. Stay out of the smoke. Do not fry/grill on anything you want to keep. Discard anything that touched the meat.
--[X] Try to salt a part with a black thing. See if it kills it. Discard either way as the salt is unsafe.
---[X] Keep an eye out for cats/rats/whatnot you can use as guinneapigs to see if the meat is safe to eat (in any of the preparation methods used). Capture alive, contain, feed, observe.
----[X] Smoke or otherwise treat all the meat off the limbs (clearly marked) and enough of the rest to do tests. Discard everything else. Cut it in pieces and use any method that seemed to kill it then bury it. If we find out that it's safe then we can eat the smoked meat from the limbs.
If you can think of anything else we could test, please add it.
I may have gone a bit overboard, but on the other hand, do we really want to risk it?

but I have a question. What do you want to do with the corpse while you run the tests? You need to add the part or it will be disposed of.

Adding it to vote. I also thought of another thing to test.

Eastern Station Raid

Eastern Station Raid
You had thought you stealth was bad when you raided the library but is was superb compared to what you had today. Your group spend most of the trip knocking over garbage cans and kicking or tripping over anything that can make a noise. Surprisingly you almost avoid any attention on your way out. This caused you to get a little to relaxed. Just as you get within sight of the gas station you manage to emerge inside a small group of Bangers.
At first the longer reach and the crossbars on the spears let you hold the Bangers beyond arms reach. This does not last as even with the spears embedded in their bodies they still try to advance and there are slightly more of the Bangers than there are scouts in your group and your salvagers end up having to hold back one of them while the scouts are occupied. Finally one of the scouts takes his hand axe to the head of the Banger embedded on his spear and after a few blows the Banger drops in place and lays still. See that this is effective the rest of the scouts follow his example.
Finishing the bangers in front of them they turn to the Banger that the salvagers are dealing with the quickly extract it from your people and finish it off. The salvages did not come out of their fight unharmed. While they were able to avoid the Bangers bites it still was able to claw and grab at them. The result is a number of scratches and bruises as well as one of the salvagers being gouged along the back. You bind the gouge but it will need to be looked at one you return to base.
As you are within sight of the station you decide you try and loot it before heading back. The building looks to be mostly undamaged and you can see inside from the windows and it looks clear but you still have the scouts clear it before the salvagers get to work.
The haul is not as good as you hoped as it is clear that you are not the first to come here. Still you do not return empty handed. You gain 3 days of food, 8 jerry cans of gas and number of sunglasses.
With an injured member in your group you manage to return to your preveiosly stealthy ways and the return trip is quickly over with you having to evade only one group of Bangers along the way.
Once back Diana quickly takes charge of the injured and tells you that she will get back to you before you decide what to do for the evening.

Eh, not our finest moment, but not horrible either, yeah.
I'm kind of worried by the scratches and the gouge. I think we've had injuries by Bangers before, but did they break the skin? The suspicious and paranoid part of me is insisting that they could be infected. The rest of me is pretty much going: Nah, they avoided the bites. Why would that be mentioned specifically if it wasn't important. It wouldn't make narrative sense. ... Right?
... right.
WE'RE DOOMED! WE'RE DOOMED!!!

New quest starting at http://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/a-settlement-in-disaster-and-magic.18347/
Aww. I'm still interested. Thought I voted too, but apparently not, sorry. (I would have gone with the same as Vanestus)
Ah well, I'll go join the new quest.
