Graham: You step out of the hut you've lived in for so long, wearing your old and torn clothes, held together with the common patchwork of the tribe. On your back you carry your pack made of leather from a lesser beast, and your bow. In the pack you carry your flint and metal, a rope, some arrows, the knife you've made yourself, and a Shattered-Compass. The compass is fully functional, no matter what the name says. It's just named after the village.
You're in the village of Shattered panes, where you were raised. The village resides on the ground, amongst the many tall structures from the past. The village is thriving, and tribals, mutants, and the occasional sane beast busily work to keep things that way. Beyond the village walls lies the streets of the past, now covered in green growth of all shapes and sizes, and thick enough to keep travelers on the beaten paths.
You stand in the middle of the village. There's the village trader here, and the elder is sitting on the side, meditating. She give you an acknowledging look, the closes her eyes again.
Sammy: You find yourself in the main corridor of Silent Gecko village. The darkness is faintly lit by a few braziers burning quietly. There's several doors here, one leading to the elder, another to the quartermaster, a few doors leads to living quarters, and the main door, heavily reinforced leads to the half-collapsed highway tunnel. From there one could get to the surface, to the overgrown Valley of Pillars. Unless you use the secret path to the broken bridge, that only Silent Geckoes know of.
You're wearing your old and well-fitted clothes, smeared with dirt and foilage to blend in on the surface. On your back you carry your pack, made from the stomach of a long dead creature. In the pack you carry your old-world lighter, your Gecko machete (the tribe's own weapon), and a rope.
The corridor is silent, as noone's there but the guard to the outside. He seems to be sleeping, even though he's standing there.
Griffin You step out of the hut made from shelves and junk, and into the heart of Supmark village. The village is located in a large building littered with shelves and junk, often forming huts like the one you just left. In the middle of the ceiling, there's a hole, letting large amounts of sunlight in at most times. The village floor is covered in tracks and dirt due to the constant traffic to the outside. The people are doing what they've been doing for as long as you know, gathering salvage and food, building up the village, keeping things running smooth and safe. Occasionally you see one or two crawlers go in or out of the gate. Your village is well known for building those treaded vehicles.
You're wearing an old and dirty jumpsuit, littered with patches. On your back you carry your old-world backpack (miraculously held together with patches as well), and your Supmark-Crossbow. A weapon created here in Supmark, made to fire arrows faster and harder. Although it's slow to reload. In your backpack you carry: your firestarter, your switchblade, some arrows, and a toolbox filled with Supmark essential tools.
You stand in the middle of the village, and the sun looks in through the large hole in the ceiling. You see the village boss working on the gate, the hut of the local trader, and the local mechanic working on a crawler.

Sammy would double check that her camouflage was well painted and that everything was secure to her, so she wouldn't click and clack. She would retrace her steps in silence to the pathway to the broken bridge for she would leave this village as she came into it, silent.
There was a calmness about her, there had to be. She couldn't let the sadness that was on her heart be worn on her face.

Post by: LionSiege on January 31, 2016, 12:54:04 pm
Griffin checks his backpack, tests if his switchblade works, and then goes to the boss, and says Hello. Can I borrow one of the crawlers, and start exploring around?
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 01:12:19 pm
Sammy: The guard snaps into action as you approach, and open the heavy door. A gust of wind howls into the corridor. With a nod from the guard, you leave the safety of the tunnels, into the collapsed highway-tunnel. Using your Gecko knowledge, you search the rubble for the dug out path to the broken bridge, then dive into the dark passage.
You emerge on the Valley of pillars side of the bridge, on a hidden plateau of concrete, through a gate that Geckoes keep locked. After closing the gate, you look around.
The broken bridge got it's name for being just that, broken. But an adventurous person could surely navigate the various support beams that still lie where they should. On the other side of the bridge lies Golem bay. A dangerous place with old-world golems wandering around, killing whomever trespasses.
There's also the path up to the Valley of pillars from here, where you'll enter on the opposite side from where you'd usually come from. The wind is brushing the water below, the delta that leaves into the sea to your right. The sky is clear, with a few clouds.
Griffin The boss turns his attention to you, and sheathes his tools into his belt. His face is covered up by a rag, and some welding goggles, but you clearly know that he's a quite muscular and peachy man. "Depends Griffin, are ya gonna run away?" he says in a serious tone. But you know him well enough to know that he's probably joking
Greer: You emerge from your tent, into the cold concrete floor of the towertop. Around you are other tents, belonging to other mutants, and even some humans. The sky is clear, with a few clouds. There's a bunch of people standing around, doing whatever they'd want, really. The village has this whole complete independence policy. You wear your old and worn clothes, and carry your sack on you back, along with your Tower-Sword, which simply is a long peice of metal that has been sharpened, then made safe to hold using rags. In your sack you carry: your old-world matches, your small knife, and your crowbar.
The rooftop is littered with life, and below you see the overgrown streets, along with the many, many other towers beside this one. You see the Warboss, who leads the village in conflict, but little else. Then you see the trader of the village, and the gate to the hand-powered elevator down to the surface.

The golems are a scary bunch and Sammy would like to avoid being molested to death for now. Instead, she'll choose to take the path toward the Valley of Pillars seeing that as a better place to explore on her own. Perhaps if she were to have a partner she would risk the Valley of Doom-Death.

Greer awoke that morning to find some unpleasant news; he was relatively low on food. A small sack of wild grains and some aspic was all he had at the moment, and he knew this wouldn't do. Perhaps some favors could alleviate this. Stretching his back and arms out, he strolled over to the Warboss. The guy had a scary name, but he was nice enough, and was usually happy to get some help.
"Greetings, Warboss. This one seeks work." Greer's voice wasn't one for negotiating, with its hissing, raspy nature, but most in the village had gotten used to it. Hopefully the Boss had something for him to do.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 01:35:53 pm
Sammy: You leave the concealed gate, climb up the small path, then proceed into the valley.
Before you is the entrance to valley proper, marked by a wall of thick foilage consisting of plants, trees and bushes. To your immediate right is a subay entrance. On the top of the archway stating that, hangs a couple of dead travelers, stripped of all their belongings. A common scarecrow used by bandits outside their lair.
Greer: The warboss, a large mucular mutant who's feared throughout the valley turns to face you, his red eyes looking right at you. "There's always killing that needs to be done..." He spits out a well-chewed berry to the side. "If you're up for it..."
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on January 31, 2016, 01:40:12 pm
Greer counters the red, malicious stare of the Warboss with his cold, calculating grey eyes, peering from behind the veil of leather strips wrapping his face. "When has this one been against it?" He asks, tilting his head inquisitively. "This one is on a tight schedule. State who or what must die."
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 01:49:04 pm
Greer: The warboss gets up from his leaning position, and face you once more. "There's a band of cock-sure little bandits who though raiding old earls..." He points at the trader. Named earl. You knew that though. "...caravan. He'd love to recive the head of the one in charge. Make the rest pay with their lives." He pulls out another berry from one of his pouches, then proceeds to start chewing on it. "They're hiding at the hall of ghosts." You know of the hall of ghosts. It's filled with the ghosts of old, forever repeating the same over and over. Some are dangerous to be disturbed. "Just avoid the ghosts, and you'll be fine. When you're done, bring the head to earl. He'll handle the payment."
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on January 31, 2016, 01:57:39 pm
"This one'll bring the head of the ringleader to Earl, and kill the others." Greer states assuredly, tapping on the hilt of his tower-sword to make a point. With that, he turns and heads over to Earl, nodding his head to the old trader, before walking to the exit at a brisk pace and heading off.

Post by: Siege-Loli on January 31, 2016, 02:00:39 pm
Bandits are a common threat to every adorable loli and dude in the Valley and with Sam's skill, this will be a good test of what she knows. She would approach the tunnel, her machete of stabbing ready. She would stick to the foliage when possible and if that fails, to use her small frame to hide behind things.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 02:10:01 pm
Greer: Earl merely grunts in response. You head on over to the elevator, and tell the guys to lower it. With combined effort the two strong mutants one the sides of the elevator, the breaks are released slightly, little by little, causing the elevator to quickly, but not dangerously decend.
You hit the bottom floor with a thud, and you leave the elevator, then the lobby filled with old dirty benches and desks that used to be white.
Outside you're greeted with the overgrowth of the valley. You know the way to the hall, and it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Sammy: You quietly approach the tunnel entrance, and peek down. Noone in direct sight. You then decend into the tunnel, sticking to the shadows. Soon you're in the dark subway station, on a platform above the tracks, with stairs down to both sides of said tracks. Below you see a bunch of firebarrels, some with bandits around them, some alone in the corner.
There's little light around beside the fires and braziers. To your right and down the stairs sits a group of 4 bandits around a table, loudly chatting as they seem to be playing some sort of game. To your direct left however, on the very platform you are, is a bandit leaning over the rail to the tracks, seemingly in deep thought. He's wearing a blade on his belt.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on January 31, 2016, 02:15:13 pm
Greer makes his usual dismissive nods to the elevator-bearers and any other mutants in greeting distance as he steps out of the lobby. He takes note that the colder morning air felt nice on the tissue beneath his wraps. With a bored sigh, he continues on away from the Tower, hoping to get to the Hall as quickly as possible. Ever cautious, Greer makes sure to move quietly, something he thinks himself rather adept at.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 02:27:18 pm
Greer: You move through the thick growth with the usual resistance of the plants. Soon enough you reach the hall of ghosts.
You stand outside, just at the edge of the foilage. The hall before you is quite large, with a sign on the right that says something like "Ri ro Museum" It is obviously missing some letters.
The doors right in front of you are wide open, leading to a dark hall.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on January 31, 2016, 02:31:58 pm
Greer smiles beneath his facial wraps as the Hall comes into view. This was it. Taking a few moments, he mentally prepares himself, thinking hard while cracking his knuckles and running in place. He probably looks rather silly, but he was about to kill an unspecified amount of people in a god-forsaken Hall of Ghosts. Breathing out, long and hard, Greer draws his sword, the finely serrated blade of sheet metal glinting in the sunlight, before crouching low to the ground and sneaking into the Hall.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 02:39:54 pm
Greer: You crouch down, and head into the hall as quietly as possible. With the sun at your back, your eyes attempts to get used to the dark.
Suddenly. A transparent cyan human appears in the darkness. He's wearing clothes that you've never seen before, and bears what you could only describe as a grin. He opens his mouth, and begins to speak. "Hello, and welcome to the museum of #####Ja####! Unfortunately, we're closed for security reasons. But please, come b###########" After speaking that line, he remains there, silent. Staring blankly towards the entrance.
Beyond him is the doors into the hall proper.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on January 31, 2016, 02:42:19 pm
Greer is a calm, collected individual most of the time. He goes at problems decisively, and prides himself on that. But seeing the ghost appear so suddenly almost causes him to jump right outta his scarred skin. After some panicked, useless flailing with his sword, he calms his breathing once again and sighs. Stupid ghosts.
Creeping close to the wall, Greer tries to edge along to the side of the ghost and make it into the door.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 02:54:24 pm
Greer: You creep along past, to the door. It's unlocked, and you enter.
Inside is a 3-story hall, lit by some stil-functioning lights in the ceiling and on the walls. On the sides on all floors are crevices in the wall where various items are displayed. Though it would seem that there's little left of value in the displays.
There's a stairwell on the right of you, leading too all floors. You hear some muffled sounds from the floor above, behind a door.
On the other side of the hall on the ground floor stands another ghost. Seemingly indentical to the one from before. You can't hear from here, but it appears to be saying something.

No, of course. says Griffin and laughs. He then goes, gets a crawler (if there is somewhere around him, if there isn't he asks around for one) and heads out of the town, and he starts exploring around.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on January 31, 2016, 03:19:52 pm
Griffin: You hop into one of the crawlers, and turn the ignition. After some coaxing, it comes to life. Luckily you know how to drive one of these, being raised in Supmark and that. You drive on outside, and the sunlight blinds you for a moment.
Before you is the flat concrete ground in front of Supmark. Above you is the sign that says "Sup Mark "
You could head along the cleared path to the broken bridge, or head on along into the valley.
[Last update for the day. Be back tomorrow. I'll be sure to toss in lucy then]

Graham heads over to the elder, "Did you need something, Miss?" he asks.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Siege-Loli on February 01, 2016, 01:11:59 pm
Sammy will attempt to stick to the shadows as she inches closer to the man with the sharp object on his belt. She will try to approach him from behind (or as close to that as possible) then use her machete of Loli Justice to fillet his neck.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 01:24:50 pm
Griffin: The crawler roars as you drive on into the deep valley, following the path beaten out by other crawlers.
With no clear goal in mind, you drive along the trail, looking for anything interesting that noone has checked out yet.
After a good 15-minute journey, you reach a crossroad of the trails. The overgrowth is trying it's best to reclaim the path, but is failing due to some barriers made of scrap.
The road splits in four. You could go forward, back to supmark, forward to go deeper into the valley, or right or left into lesser known territory.
You hear a faint scream to the left. Distant, but not too distant.
Graham: The elder speaks without opening her grey eyes. "My child, I fear that this village soon will be dragged down a path weather we'd like to or not. The path of war. The other villages have been sending more and more scouts to spy on us. Spies that they didn't think we'd notice. So yes, I need something from you, if you wish to help..."
Sammy: You attempt to silently sneak up on the lone bandit. [5+2] ((+2 for Gecko stealth training)) And successfully end up behind him.
Using your gecko machete, you aim to take him out. [7+2] You grab him by the mouth, and slice his throat from behind. He fails to make a sound as he struggles to get loose. In a few moments he stops resisting, and goes limp.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Siege-Loli on February 01, 2016, 01:35:50 pm
With one bandit taken care of and four more in a group, Sammy will take the weapon from the dead guy and move into position to where she can see them again. She'll then use the other guy's weapon and throw it at one of them. She'll then attempt to find a pipe in the ceiling, jump and grab onto it, and hide so that she can be above them when they come to investigate.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 01:50:30 pm
Lucy: You step out of the old container that you've called your home, into the walled society of Edge of Water. The tribesmen and women are working hard to provide for the village in these harsh times.
You're wearing your own tribal clothes, made of leather of common beasts. On your back you carry your leather bag. In the bag you carry: your firestarter, your butcher's knife, and a rope.
You stand in the middle of the walled village, with it's sentries keeping a close watch on the outside from the walls. The various homes made of container lie scattered around the village. Some have even used multiple containers for their homes. You see the village lord, sitting on his throne outside his large home. There's also the trader's hut, and the village's two gates. One leading to the Rio harbour, the other to the small dock, where you keep your small raft.
The sky is clear, with the sun looking down on the village.
Sammy: You grab the sharpened piece of metal, then regain a vantage point of the bandits. They seem to be unaware of the death of their friend.
You hold the sharp blade in your hand, and ready to throw at one of the bandits. [2+2] You narrowly miss the head of one of them, and the blade lands and gets lodged in the table instead. Although that may be just as well, considering that you wanted their attention.
The bandits jump up on their legs and yell loudly.
You take the moment to nimbly climb up onto a pipe that runs from the upper platform to beyond the right platform.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" One bandit looks where the one you killed used to be, unaware that he's no longer there. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING QUINCY?!"
Blades in hands, two bandits begin to acend the stairs, leaving two to catch their breaths.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Siege-Loli on February 01, 2016, 01:57:16 pm
When the two bandits get under her, she'll drop down behind one and fillet his throat and push his body onto the other one so that they both fall off the platform and fall to their deaths.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 02:08:01 pm
Sammy: You wait for a brief moment, until the 2 moving bandits are right below you. Then you drop on down behind one of them, and attack him. Aiming for the throat. [7+2] He gets no time to turn around and face you as you shove your machete deep into his throat, narrowly avoiding it getting stuck in the vertibre.
As the one bandit goes down, the other turns to face you, using one last moment of suprise, you attempt to push them down the railing. [8] You send the living bandit, and the dead one falling to the tracks. There's a loud crack of bones as they hit the metal rails.
The other 2 bandits are now aware of your presence. One points his blade at you, and shouts "GET THAT BITCH!" The other one starts moving up the stairs, focused on harming you.

Post by: Siege-Loli on February 01, 2016, 02:14:06 pm
"Aw, you're cute. Hold me in your arms big brother!" Sammy says as she leaps at the guy going down the stairs and attempts to surf down the stairs with his body. She'll stick her machete in his sternum to keep her balance while on top of him.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]

Griffin prepares his switchblade, and goes to the left!
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 02:25:33 pm
Sammy: You get some speed, and jump on down the stairs, aiming for the bandit with your machete in hand. [5] "What the?!" You barely make the jump, but luckily manage to land your feet on the bandit's torso, pushing him down and along the stairs. And the machete goes nicely into his shoulder.
He yells in pain as you surf him down the stairs, with a face of pure pain.
The other bandit makes a rush towards you, enraged. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"
There's a brief moment before you reach the bottom of the stairs, and the bandit should reach you around that time aswell.
Griffin: Switchblade at the ready, you drive down to the left with some urgency. In a few minutes, you come across a common sight in the valley.
A caravan lies in peices here. It's crew and animals dead. The place seems to have been cleared out in a hurry. This is obviously the work of some bandits.
There's someone alive though, fighting to even breathe, leaning against the carcass of a dead oxen. Clearly looking at you, with pain in his expression.

"Surprise!" Sammy said she then launched herself again, this time aiming her machete forward going for a straight kill.

Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 02:46:00 pm
Griffin: The man, covered in his own blood, coughs a bit. "Why no, no I'm not friend. *cough* Listen, we got ambushed by some bandits..." He shifts his head for a bit, clearly looking to get some more air. "Normally, they wouldn't be much of a problem... But those fuckers... *cough* Had attack-dogs!..." He turns his head back to you. "They dragged of some of my crew, and killed the rest... Please... help..."
Sammy: With the last of the corpse-surfing, you launch into the air, looking to stab the last visible bandit in the heart. [5] You narrowly hit the bandit, causing him to trip backwards, with you on him. And your machete lodged firmly in his... head. Close enough, as he's dead now.
Now that the area is seemingly clear, you note a shed made of scrap from the subway. With light emitting inside. Otherwise, there's the train tunnels leading forwards, but the tunnels leading back are collapsed.
Lucy: You head on through the gates to the small dock, and find your raft sitting there among the others, gently bobbing along with the waves. It's a simple raft, made from some barrels, some planks, and a metal pipe holding a small sail. There's also the oar, lying on the dock. There's also a small storage chest on the raft, which is empty.
Graham: "The last one was spotted on a unnamed tower to the north, just a few hundred meters from the gates." She opens her eyes, and looks at you. "I'm not asking you to kill them, but you get to decide on how they should be dealt with. Just make sure that they don't pass along anything to their masters."

"Aw, they're all dead!" Sammy said as she pouted for a second. She then approached the shed and attempted to see what was inside it as sneakily as possible.

Post by: guest48 on February 01, 2016, 02:57:52 pm
Lucy looks back towards the village, then shrugs and picks up the oar. "Eh, they won't care if I just do a little scav run, right?" She whispers to herself, hopping onto her raft and pushing it away from the dock.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 03:01:11 pm
Graham: The elder goes back to meditating, and you head on over to the local trader. "Hi there Graham. Here's what I have today:"
-A pack of arrows -A suit of heavy leather armor -A box of basic tools.
You'd need to offer something in trade.
Griffin: The dying man meekly points towards an obscure path towards an old-world store.
Sammy: Leaving the 5 corpses, you quietly head on over to the shed, and take a peek inside.
It would seem as you found their ill-gotten gains.
There's several chests and boxes here. One box seems to be filled with clothes from former victims, another is filled with some unsorted cans and bags of preserved old-world food. The last locker has a Supmark crossbow, along with some bolts inside.
Lucy: You hop on the raft, and push it into deeper waters. Soon you travel into the only direction that the small raft can, towards the broken bridge.
When you arrive, you find the bridge above you. On your left is the valley of pillars, and on the right is golem bay. A dangerous place. You could land on either side, or keep on moving inlands.

Using the clothes from the box, she'll make a slung for the crossbow and take the bolts. She'll then take as much as the food as she can carry and start making her way back to the village. She'll take the super secret route of spookiness to avoid being followed.

Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 03:08:43 pm
Sammy: Luckily, the crossbow already has one attached. But you nonetheless reinforce it with some tough fabric.
Unopposed, you waltz on out carrying the box of food, soon reaching the broken bridge.
There's a raft in the water under the bridge. Slowly moving along. There's a woman on it (Lucy). It would seem that she hasn't noticed you.

Griffin: ((The crawler has 2 rubber treads. You know, like on smaller excavators.)) You recon that the path is too narrow to drive in through. Besides, you'd probably just make too much noise, and alert the bandits. You instead walk on down the path, and find the store in question. "Dean's Pharmacy"
There's someone or more making noise in there...
Lucy: There's a small girl on the left side of the bridge, waving and shouting at you.

Graham: "Your rope? Don't think you'll get much for that. Besides, you'll need that to climb the towers and such." The trader pulls out something from the stand, and puts it on it. It's a tribal telescope, made from scrap and old lenses. "But I'd like to give you this, Graham. It's something I've been working on, and I'd like you to try it on the field, if you don't mind..."
Griffin: The large window into the store is dusty, but with a slow, discrete swipe, you look into the store.
There's a campfire in there. But otherwise there's noone there. There is another door in the back though.

Griffin: You break the window, and scream into the store. The noise your heard earlier is noone to be seen. Or heard, for that matter...
It's silent inside. But without the dirty glass, you notice tracks leading through the back door. Human, and dog tracks.
Sammy & Lucy: You start rowing inland(?) at a steady pace.
Soon you reach the edge of something strange.
There's a thick cloud of smoke ahead, engulfing the canal. Yet the sky is still mostly clear, and the sun is still up. It smells bad, like really bad. But it doesn't seem dangerous. In fact, the only danger is not seeing that well on the canal.
You note a sign on the side aswell, written resently. "DARK CANAL"

Post by: HS1342 on February 01, 2016, 03:59:11 pm
Griffin: You rush on into the store, then rush into the door. It flies wide open with a crash.
On the other side is an alleyway, and nearly at the end you spot 3 men accompanied by 5 savage-looking dogs, covered in blood. They look at you, silently.
Sammy & Lucy: You continue into the strange mist, slowly.
After maybe a minute, your in the thick of it. You can barely see 5 feet in front of you. And something's scratching on the bottom of the raft...
It's like the sun can't reach this place so well, cause it's dark here. The silence is occasionally broken by a splash, or something similar.
Graham: With you natural skill at pathfinding, you have no problem reaching the tower in question, and waste no time entering the lobby. Inside you see some interesting things. First are the elevators, which may or may not work, then there's the main desk in front of you, with an old-world computer on it. Then there's the stairwell on the side, and lastly a corridor leading of to the side.
It's quiet.

Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 02:39:26 pm
((Shit, did I forget to change the update status yesterday? Sorry...)) Griffin: Whether it was bravery or recklessness, you charge down the alley towards the men, aiming for the biggest of the bunch.
Before you're halfway down the alley, the bloodied dogs dart to intercept. [5] You get bitten in the arm, but shove the dogs out of the way, still locked on the biggest of the men.
The moment between the dogs and the men give them ample time to stand ready to recive. [8-2] However, it seems like luck is on your side, as you dodge the attacks of the men.
Now that you're close enough, you thrust at the heart of the big guy. [3] Though it would seem as your luck ran out, as the man swiftly dodge your thrust, and then counter it by hitting you hard in the stomach with his club.
You feel like you're deflated as all air leaves your lungs, and the hit leaves you sore aswell.
You're now surrounded by the three men, armed with clubs, looking angry. And the dogs you dodged have turned, and are running towards you again.
Sammy & Lucy: It's hard to see anything, and the raft barely moves as you paddle. Either it's very shallow here, or there must be something under the raft...
You hear a faint humming to your right, somewhere in the strange mist.
((Working on you Zaweri))

Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 03:10:55 pm
Griffin: Being outnumbered, fighting dirty is almost natural. You aim to skewer the biggest man's junk. [6] You hit, and the man screams as the blade is thrust into his scrotum, he then goes kneeling, pulling the blade out of the wound. You remain in control of the blade though.
Though as quickly as you've done slashed his junk, one of his friends attack you from behind. [3-2] You feel an incredibly painfull hit to the back of your head, then everything starts spinning. Before you know it, you're on the ground, unable to think due to the pain. You see the one you stabbed in the groin, tearfully loom above your head. "I'm gonna FUCKING PEEL HIS SKIN OFF!" Before he turns your head to mash, you hear one of the other guys. "Wait! This one's a fighter! Just look at those muscles..." The third one chimes in, just as everything fades to black... "Yeah, we'll bring him along too..."
...
You wake up with a twitch. It's dark, and your head aches like hell. You appear to be locked in some kind of cage, in a dark room with other cages. One of the cages on the opposite side of the room holds a woman in fetal-position, clearly in shock. In the middle of a room is a table, covered in blood. On the table lies several sharp tools, and bones.
The cage is obviouly locked, and sturdily built. You also note that you're missing your gear! Behind a door on the side you hear occasional faint screams.
Sammy & Lucy: Suddenly, the raft suddenly stops. You avoid falling over though. You note why it suddenly stopped, as there seems to be some kind of concrete structure on the side of the raft. A concrete platform at docking-height, and beyond it, a metal door. On the side of the door is the source of the humming, some kind of fan housed in a metal casing.
Zaweri: You step out of the tent you refer as a home. Into the green glade, the village where you were raised. The glade lies in the middle of the valley somewhere, surrounded by foilage and tall towers. You're wearing your short cargo pants, accompanied by some worn boots. On your back you carry your backpack made of plant-fibers. In it you carry: your flint and stone, your green bladed gauntlet, and your rope.
The tiny village is silent, with the majority of it's inhabitants meditating around the firepit. The sun lies right on top of you, in the clear sky.

Sammy: You quietly open the door and peek in.
There's working lights inside, and it would appear clear of the mist outside. Inside is a corridor, with some open circut-boxes on the sides, leading to a larger, harder to see hall.
There's also some mechanical noices eminating from deeper inside.
Greer: You return to your senses after spacing out for a while. Then proceed up the stairs a level, and reach the door eminating muffled voices. Now that you're a little closer, you hear that there's some sort of argument inside.
You also note that beside the door lies a disabled security robot, occasionally sparking.

Greer takes note of the robot. Too damaged to do anything, obviously. Now, the voices behind the door. Probably the bandits, right?

"Dat booty!" Sammy said as she reached back and smacked Lucy lightly on the arse. She then said, "In reality I'm not sure. Let's take a closer look."
Sammy then began to walk down the hallway to get a closer look.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 03:44:47 pm
Griffin: Your shouts and screams goes unheard. Probably mixed in with the other screams from outside.
Although, soon the door opens, and a blood-covered man wearing some whole covering overalls, and a mask with ski goggles.
The man cheerfully chuckles as he walks over to the captive on the other side of the room, opens the cage, and pulls out the woman. She seems to be too tired to resist much, and the man has little problem to drag her over to the table, and throw her onto it.
As he grabs a butcher knife from the table, the woman reacts, and starts panicing. She screams and fights back as the man tries to chop her head off.
Greer: You peek in through the thick window of the door, and listen close. There's 3 guys in there, gathered around some kind of locker. "What do you mean you can't open it!? I thought you said a crowbar would work!" "I'm doing what I can, but it's heavier than I thought!" "SO WE RAIDED A TOWER-CARAVAN FOR NOTHING?!" "JUST LET ME WORK, ALRIGHT?!"
The third one remains quiet though.
Sammy: You stroll on down the hallway, and get a clear view of the hall in front of you. It's some kind of old-world assembly plant, for some kind of robots. The line seems to be out of order, but there's two small four-legged robots walking around, seemingly ignoring your precence, attempting to repair the old and worn equipment.
There's a double-door on the left side of the hall, and another on the right (labeled exit). There's also a stair leading up to some kind of observing office.
Through the office glass you see a siluette. Seemingly human...

Greer sighs to himself. Raiders. Scum. Trash. Useful for nothing but making things hard for anyone else. He was gonna do the world a favor today. Taking a deep breath, he turns the knob on the door and swings it open, his sword held high, his stance confident. "Greetings, friends."

Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 04:08:05 pm
Greer: You step in and confidently greet the bandits. They turn hastly, carrying crude weapons made from scrap. Their clothes are dirty and worn. The one that was complaining speaks up, "FUCK! I knew we shoudn't have raided a tower caravan! I KNEW-" The one who was working on the locker interupts him, "SHUT UP BILL!" He lowers his weapon, and speaks directly to you. "Listen, pal. If you're here about the caravan, just listen for a moment. There's enough to gain here for everyone..."
Sammy & Lucy: Each doing yours to gain the figure's attention, it seems to work. The character gets up quickly, then walks on over to the door. With a click and a clack, the door goes open, and an average-looking character emerge from it.
The man is wearing a a suit made of scrap plates, a gas mask, and a metal helmet. He's also carrying a gun, a medium-caliber one.
He looks at you, casually aiming his gun from the hip. "Listen, I don't want any more problems here. I'm having a hard enough time getting things to work here, so it would only be salting wounds to kill and or rob me."
Griffin: You struggle to open the cage, to break it, anything. But it's sturdily built, and the lock is complicated.
The woman struggles as best she can, and the man merely chuckles. "Don't be like that now honey, I just want to strip your flesh from your bones!"
With everything seeming lost, suddenly the doors swing open heavily, smashing into the walls beside it. And in comes 2 dirty-looking men, lead by one equally dirty woman. They all carry pistols, and they are all wearing some blue cloth tied around their left arms.
They waste no time putting lead into the butcher, leaving him to fall lifelessly to the ground. The woman that was almost killed, runs screaming out of the room, past the armed people.
It doesn't seem like they've noticed you.
Graham: You put too little faith in old-world technology, as both the elevator and computer function. If just a little choppy. And the elevator has over 100 floors, so which button should you push?

"This one did not come here to parlay. This one did not come here to make the deal you are about to offer. He came to make his own." Greer rasps, lowering into a more threatening position and holding his blade at the ready. "And that deal is you deciding how quickly you wish to die." With that, Greer waits for them to take an action, hoping to beat back an attack and counter with his own right off the bat.

Sammy & Lucy: The stranger lowers his gun. "Well, if you'd like to help... You see, I've been trying to get this factory into a functional state, but since the basement generator is offline, I can't really do much, and it's guarded by a bunch of robots." He points at the left-most door. "If you could go down there and turn it back on, it would be great. And I'll let you keep whatever you find down there." The maintenace-bots idly work in the background, ignoring the conversation. "By the way, I'm Gerald."
Griffin: The woman smiles. "Thanks for the offer, Griffin, but the lawbringers don't need much help. It's a constant fight against injustice, but we manage."
You fail to find your gear in the butchery, maybe it's outside.
"We are always looking for more recruits though..."
Greer: You hurl the locker out of the way, and give chase to the bandits.
Soon the pursuit ends on the roof of the hall.
Cornered, with no way down except through the staircase, the bandits ready their weapons to fight.
"FUCK... FUCK... FUUUUCK!"

Greer's eyes stare like miniature grey suns from beneath the coverings on his face, and he wastes little time in getting things started. Dashing forward, he makes a go for the nearest bandit's leg, hoping to get a good slice and immobilize him, hopefully catching an artery if he's lucky. Should the hit land or not, he quickly hops back to his earlier position near the door, still aiming to stay out of reach of the group as a whole.

Greer: You make a dashing slash for bandit #1's leg [10+2] (2+ from tower brutality trait) You perfectly hit it from upside-down, cleaving the entire leg in two. He screams as he falls down into a pile of bleeding meat. You then jump back, leaving the other 2 bandits scarred shitless.
Graham: You type in floor 65, and hit go. The doors shut, and the elevator clunkily goes upward. It shakes, yet keeps decent speed.
Suddenly the elevator stops, and the screen of the interface goes from "65" to "NO YOU DONT". The elevator is completely stopped between floor 34 and 35. As if locked in place.
Sammy: The robot turns it's head, and looks at you. #PLeaSE take CARe ARound MAINTEnanCE OPEraTIONS# Then gets right back to work.
Griffin: "Sure! We always need more people to fight the constant threat of lawless scum!" She holds out her right hand "I'm Jenny, a captain of the lawbringers."

Now Greer's blood is pumping. "Come on then! This one came for a fight! This one expects more than this!" He hisses, exploding forward again in an attempt to drive his serrated spike of a short sword into the gut of one of these cowards.

Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 05:08:20 pm
Greer: You dash forward again, looking to make one of the bandits a kebab. [6+2] You successfully drive your long sword into the gut of the silent bandit. He doesn't scream. Either he can't now, or he couldn't to begin with.
The leader-bandit takes the only chance yet, and attempts to attack you when you're killing the other. [9] But you swiftly avoid it, and push him in the face as a bonus, breaking his nose. "GAH! You faching fach!"
Graham: You try to make the elevator move again by pushing the buttons, trying to type 34. Everytime you press a button, it makes a denying sound.
Looks like this elevator isn't moving anymore. This is obviously sabotage. There's a service hatch on the top of the elevator though...
Griffin: "First off..." She hands you your gear. "I think this is yours. It was the only pack outside that hadn't been sorted yet..."

Post by: Forrest on February 02, 2016, 05:12:13 pm
Greer, despite showing little outward emotion as usual, feels pretty good about how he's doing so far. Ripping his sword from the gut of the silent one, along with sweeping his legs to cast him down, he turns to the 'leader' of this little band of thieves. "Can't say this is going well for you now, is it?" He taunts, lashing out in an attempt to kick him to the floor.

Greer: You pull out the sword, and take down the silent one without any problem. The nafter taunting the leader, you attempt to kick him down. [4] But you end up missing as he makes a diving roll to the right, then gets up into a fighting stance again. "We couhld have ruhld the vahlley with thoose things..." he tries to say with a broken nose.
Graham: You pull yourself up onto the elevator, and findyourself in the old shaft. The floor above 35 (being 36), has an open door. Though it's guite a climb up there, and there's nothing to hold onto.
Griffin: "I doubt that there's anything on that butchering bastard, and the others have already scoured the rest, and handed over any belongings of some of the other survivors. So I'd say we'll return to base."
Lucy & Sammy: Gerald awkwardly scratch his neck "I doubt you'll get anything out of them... They're very basic... I hope..."

"Ruled the valley with some things from a locker? You think the Tower would stand for that? The Warboss would've come here himself to flay you if you made claims like those. Be glad it's me; this one's much quicker about that kind of thing." Greer growls, following up his miss with a sort of uppercut slash to the side with his sword.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 05:34:28 pm
Griffin: You follow the Jenny out of the cannibal's den, and find a suprisingly well-made half-track outside. Jenny and her lawbringers hop on board, then she throws you a blue piece of fabric. "Tie that around your arm, and hop on up!"
Greer: You step up, and swing to finish the leader.
He was too weak to even try to resist, and you effortlessly chop off his head. Once it comes down, you grab it. He has a resigned look on his face.

"Well, that solves that, doesn't it?" Greer asks the head, chuckling darkly to himself. With that, he looks over the possessions the bandits have on them; he'll check out the locker they were tampering with in a bit.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]

Graham takes out his rope, he tries to make a makeshift grappling hook with his rope and a piece of metal, if it's heavy enough to be a counter weight, if not he uses his knife.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 05:47:29 pm
Greer: Well, the bandits sure were poor. They only carried around their weapons, in addition of the crowbar they stole. Worth nothing, and inferior to your weapon, you decide to leave their little blades ((if you're ok with that)).
You then head on down to the locker they were tampering with. It has thick metal doors, with thick bulletproof windows on them. Inside is about 5 compact assault rifles, along with some boxes of ammo.
Guns are a rare and powerful commodity in the valley...
The locker is electronically locked with a keypad. The bandits prying on the lock has barely scratched it.
Griffin: Tying a blue ribbon around your arm, you hop on aboard the halftrack, and it starts moving at a decent pace.
Soon, after a mostly quiet journey, it stops at a large garage door, one level under a tower. The halftrack sounds it's horn, and it opens. Inside is a garage with a couple of beds, some lockers, and a table or two. "There may just be 5 of us now, well 6 with you, but we're making progress!" Jenny and the others disembark in the small garage.
Graham: You use your rope, and grapple on up to the open door. After pulling yourself up, you're greeted by a corridor filled with tripwires, leading to several spring-loaded bolt-throwers.
On the other end of the corridor, is a door. Inside, you see a faint stream of light. Light from flames.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on February 02, 2016, 05:52:04 pm
Greer's eyes widen as he sees the firearms within the locker. Hell, maybe the dead man wasn't exaggerating when he mentioned ruling the valley; this sure was a hell of a lot of firepower. Thinking to himself for a moment, Greer opens up his pack and slides his crowbar out into his dominant hand. He tests the strength of the doors and the lock, gauging whether or not it'd be possible for him to get in.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 05:55:46 pm
Greer: You test the locker as best you can. But the lock just won't budge. It's a very secure locker, and there's doubt that even a golem could force this open.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Forrest on February 02, 2016, 05:57:08 pm
"Hmph." Alrighty then. Greer just goes and guesses he won't be able to get this thing open, and so, his mission here is over. With the head in one hand and the crowbar in the other, he takes his leave to make his way back to the Tower. Hopefully he can notify Earl and the Warboss of this discovery.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 02, 2016, 06:02:23 pm
Greer: As you leave the security office, you're greeted by a hall of ghosts, filled with ghosts. They're walking all over the place, in all shapes and sizes. There's small child-ghosts, adult ghosts, and others all around.
They're walking around, looking at things you cannot see. Talking, yet you hear nothing from their mouths.
And to top it all off, the ghost you saw on your way in is standing right in the middle of them all. "Hello and welc#############"

Greer nopes back into the room with the locker as fast as he possibly can. No. No. Nuh-uh, and no thank you. The roof, maybe? Heading back to where he slaughtered the bandits on the roof, Greer checks the height of the building itself, and whether or not there's anything to climb down. Rain gutters, perhaps?

"Aw... well okay then. Let's head down the stairs then Lucy!" Sammy said as she approached the door and began to sneakily make her way down.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 03, 2016, 03:12:47 pm
All: The sun is setting, and the moon peeks over the horizon.
Greer: Back on the roof, you have a look around. The hall is way too tall to simply jump on down from, and the city is devoid of any raingutters. Presumably the old world found a better option.
This is however a rather short gap from the right side of the hall, to a open balcony of a residential tower.
Griffin: "Well, Tim's the one that opened the door. He's over there by the terminal." She points at a bored-looking man sitting by a table, looking at a screen. "And Riley had to go and gather some supplies..."
Zaweri: You waltz on out of the village into a unspecified direction. Soon you findyourself on the main trail, connecting the broken bridge to your right, and the village of Supmark to your left.
Otherwise you're surrounded by the old-world towers on all sides.
Sammy: You sneak on through the doors, then down some stairs. Soon you get up on some cover as you spot a small maintenance robot patrolling the corridor up ahead. This one doesn't seem to be peaceful though.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Siege-Loli on February 03, 2016, 03:16:13 pm
Sammy will attempt to get close to the robot via a series of jumps, flips, and rolls. When she finally gets close enough, she'll stick her machete where appeared to be the weakest spot on the other robot she attempted to seduce.

Sammy: Being small and nimble, you have no problem jumping on over behind the dumb robot. Then using your machete, you... [7+2] Slice off some of the exposed cables on it's back.
With a loud spark as the wires short-circut for a moment, the robot dies on down, into a pile on the ground.
You're now in the middle of a T-section of the corridor. To the left you see a sign saying "electrical", and to the right you see a sign saying storage.
Both directions end in a dead end with doors.

Post by: Siege-Loli on February 03, 2016, 03:29:22 pm
"Well that was easy. Hey Lucy, there's some storage over there. Loot!" Sammy said as she motioned Lucy to follow her. She would then peek inside the storage room to see what we've got here.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: guest48 on February 03, 2016, 03:33:08 pm
Lucy starts saying something, then immediately stops upon hearing about loot. She just opens the storage rom door and steps in.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 03, 2016, 03:39:16 pm
Sammy: You sneak on over to the door, and have a little peak inside.
Inside lies a promised storage room, with several shelves holding some batches of spare parts and the like. But there's also some interesting items on a shelf in the back.
Although, that would mean that you'd have to deal with the security robot in the middel of the room. It's a treaded model, with a small machinegun-turret.
Then lucy goes on ahead and opens the door unhindered.
Sammy & Lucy: As Lucy goes on and opens the door wide open, the security robot starts beeping, followed by it opening fire on the doorway. [6] Luckily, you both hit the deck as the lead starts flying on overhead.
You note that the only thing stopping you from being turned to pulp is a flipped shelf between you and the robot.
After remaining out of sight of the robot for a moment, it stops firing. And luckily it also seems like it isn't moving.

Post by: Siege-Loli on February 03, 2016, 03:45:41 pm
Being unsure whether or not the shooting was triggered by sight or sound, Sammy will throw a rock over their shelf of safety and into the room. If it turns toward the rock, she'll leap up and stab it in the back. If not, she'll keep still and continue to think
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 03, 2016, 03:47:41 pm
Lucy: You peek up as discretely as possible, scanning for weak points. [5] You duck as you nearly lose your head to bullets.
The brief glance did allow you to notice that the turret has been imobilized, it's track on the side. And there seems to be a unshielded ammo feed on the back.
Sammy: You toss a bolt (rocks being hard to find inside) into the room.
Nothing. One could assue that it's heat-seeking.

[7-3] about half the way, you recive a shot to the gut, and fall down in pain. Luckily though, you end up behind a workbench. Not that it stops the bleeding though.

Graham: While the bolt-throwers aren't that hard to disarm, or hard to avoid if you fail, you're lucky you spotted them in the first place. Being trained in shattered panes sure have sharpened your senses.
Soon enough, you've disarmed your way to the other side of the hallway.
There's a door there, just a bit ajar, with something burning inside.

Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 03, 2016, 04:12:18 pm
Sammy: You dash out of cover to try the same thing that Lucy tried, only with a plan on what to do once you reach the damned sentient machinegun. [9-3] Whether it was your speed, your dodging, or just your small frame, you manage to get into a position that allows you to jump behind the robot. Then you execute the final stage of the plan.
But since you can't locate anything close enough to be classified as a robot anus, you simply ram your machete into the exposed feed of the gun. It's not destroyed, but it's no longer able to fire.
Graham: You peek in. Noone in sight, just an old once-white wall. You then get on the side of the door, and push it open.
Suddenly you hear a loud bang, and you notice a hail of shrapnel racing out of the doorway, looking for someone to hide in. It would seem that there was a shaped charge on the other side, waiting for someone to open the door.
Inside the room is a small campfire, and a hole in the wall, leading to some kind of service platform outside. You hear someone run out there, away from you.

Instead you focus on rummaging through the room, looking for something nice. And Indeed you find something. There's a skeleton here, wearing some old-dirty clothes, holding a compact assault rifle with a full magazine.
Though you'd need to drop your crossbow if you want to take this gun. Carrying both would be quite heavy.

Graham: You knock on the door, and wait a moment. You hear some shuffle inside, then the door flies open.
A hand dressed in a black leather glove reach out too fast for you to dodge, then pulls you in.
You're thrown in, and land on the floor. You manage to get up on your one knee, then you see the one who pulled you in.
It's a dark haired woman, wearing a rather clean trenchcoat, holding a pistol aimed at you. You also note that she's a lizard-like mutant, with a green scaly tail behind her. "Damn you're persistent"
Sammy & Lucy: After retriving her machete, and pulling off the large ammo box from the security robot, Sammy helps lucy out of the storage, and back into the corridor.
You're now at the T-section again, by the disabled robot from before. Before you is the corridor to the generator room, and to your left is the stairwell back up.

Sammy: With your sneaking-skill, you have little problem avoiding the damaged robot's sensors, snatch up the items the skeletons were trying to keep, then go on ahead and turn the generator back on.
With the flip of the lever, the entire factory starts to make noise. Especially on the factory floor.
You then leave the room, without alerting the damaged robot. Outside you get a look at what you collected. It looks like two functional PDA's, though they seem to be missing something. Though you can't tell what. Maybe someone else could.

Then when you hand over the PDA's, he respond "Well, Yes. I think they've run out of power. Luckily I carry spare batteries in my pouch."

"Well you can take a look at her if you want. I just kinda stuffed cloth into it till the problem stopped." Sammy said as she sat Lucy down gently and lifted her shirt high enough (and then some) up to show the wound. She would then poke around on the Magic Box so see what it does.

Sammy: Gerald looks at the wound (And nothing else, he swears) "Well, I don't know much about medicine either. So I guess stopping the blood will have to do..."
You press on the screen of the PDA, and a basic interface of different shapes comes up.
"I guess you've never used a PDA, huh? I don't blame you, they're not easy to find." He pulls out his own PDA "You see, with this device you could use a map, write things down, or even directly contact other PDA's if you're in range of the general transmitter." He swipes on his PDA some times, then push a button saying "accept" that popped up on yours. "There, you now have a map that should make things a bit easier to navigate with. And I also gave you my adress, you could contact me at any time, or I contact you."

Sammy: You search the directories of the PDA. Although a lot of it's corrupt due to quote: "extended degredation". But there's a directory that isn't though.
It's a bunch of access codes, and a map pointing at some building in the valley.
Graham: She ignores the offer of dissarment, and stares at you with her red eyes. "So you've bypassed the elevator, and cleared all my boby-traps to do what, talk?"

Sammy: "Looks like codes to access security terminals in a building down in the valley. Never noted that perticular building though." He swipes the documents, letting him see the text under the codes. "He was an "accountant", whatever that is, at a place called "Soul Soda Corp"."

"Oh my stars, we look soooo cute Lucy!" Sammy says as she shows the picture to Lucy, who is probably KO'd at this point. She would then pick her friend up and say, "Bye sexy beast, I'm gonna go home now."
And with that, she'll head back to the boat and plop Lucy on the bottom and begin rowing to where Sammy and Lucy met.

Sammy: As you drag along Lucy to the small dock, Gerald waves goodbye, then goes right back to restoring the factory to it's former glory.
As you exit the dimly lit factory, you note the clear night sky, with it's many stars shining bright. That makes you note that the dark mist that covered the factory is gone. Maybe the ventilation started working properly?
You're now on the boat, and you can see far in all directions. The broken bridge lies behind you, and the river continues inland, off into unknown territory.
Graham: "Get up if you need to. But I ain't taking my aim away from you." You note that she's wearing a blue piece of cloth tied around her left arm. "And you're right, my pay is none of your concern. But my work here is over, due to some administrative error. I'm leaving, and you're not going to stop me..."

Graham: "Let's see, I have a gun, and you don't. And I'm not dumb enough to risk everything when I already have it. You've got nothing that I want either, so bye."
The woman steps out of the door, slams it shut, then probably blocks the door or handle. Leaving you alone in the small observatory.

Greer: With a strong resolve, you work up some momentum, then leap. [10] You land so perfectly on the balcony, that you practicly teleported there.
You're now on the balcony of some unnamed residential tower. There's some sort of pipe on the other side of it, leading all the way to the ground. There's also the locked glass door to the interior of the tower.
Griffin: "Riley is one of a kind I tell you. She's been on the team since we started, and she's also very experienced and well-traveled." Jenny makes sure that the door close behind you, hiding the bright garage from the dark overgrown streets. "But there's also Mickey, Arron and Dave. We picked them up not too long ago now, and they've been a tremendous help for us all."
You're given a locker, and a bed in the storage, where everyone sleeps.
Zaweri: You enter the first convinient tower you find, thus finding a old and forgotten lobby inside. The elevator's done for, and the terminals are all broken, leaving only the stairs as an interest.
Sammy & Lucy: Through the broken arch of the once-mighty bridge, you reach the small platform holding the secret gecko entrance.
Graham: You hit the door with all your might, hoping to breach it. [8-4] You almost succeed, though she's blocked it too good. There is the observatory window though, leading to a small ledge. From there you might be able to shimmy on over to the platform outside the door.

Sammy will continue her journey of returning to her village with a KO'd Lucy and loot. Upon entering the village, she'll first drop Lucy off at Sammy's house then take all da loot she acquired over to the trader (assuming we have one).
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 04, 2016, 03:22:17 pm
Graham: Taking the risks, you carefully climb on out of the broken window. When you think you've got a stable posture, you start to shimmy on towards the platform. [2] But regretably, halfway there you slip, barely managing to grab onto the ledge. This is dangerous, considering you're on the 36th floor.
The moon lights up the overgrown streets below you, very far below you.
Sammy: Are you sure you'd like to take Lucy on through the secret passage, and into the silent gecko village? The elder isn't going to be happy with that (with him being that isolational old man that he is)... But you're certain that the things you have will let the quartermaster give you something in return...

"OH SHIT, FUCK!" Graham cries, he tries to get back to the observatory. "please please." This time he looks around for something stable near the window to tie his rope to, then he'll tie the rope to his waist, AND TRY AGAIN.

Griffin: "Well, we rest and rearm until we find any more dens of evil lawlessness. At least until Riley comes back with the supplies we need." Jenny turns her attention to the door, then back to you. "Although... If you're willing to carry out some extra work, we do need more recruits. If you'd like, you could go to the local villages, and ask around for voulunteers."
Sammy: With a steady resolve, you decide on going through with it.
Sammy & Lucy: With Lucy unconcious, Sammy opens the grate, and drags Lucy all the way to the village, whilst struggling to carry the box of canned foodstuffs aswell.
You end up at the heavy door, and open it. It would seem that luck is on Sammy's side, as the guard is nowhere to be seen.
After dropping the box, Sammy drags Lucy into her room, somehow avoiding detection.
Graham: With the weight of your pack fighting against you, you struggle to haul yourself up and into the window again. [5-1] You slip once more, this time more dangerously.
You drop from the ledge, and fear the worst as you grow farther and farther apart from the ledge and the observatory. [9] But as you begin to feel death grabbing a hold of you, your pack suddenly gets caught in something. A pipe. You ought to thank yourself for adding leather straps to your pack a few years ago.
You're now hanging there, next to a pipe that leads just about down to the ground.

Greer: Being a tad bit larger than most, you have some problem sliding down the pipes. [8-1] You succeed nonetheless, and find yourself on the ground, next to the hall of ghosts. There re bright lights eminating from inside the hall, and you know well what those lights are.
Sammy: You leave the room, and head of to the quartermaster with your newly aquired goods. The quartermaster sits in the dark, with only a small lamp to light his small storage room. Without much fuss, you hand on over the box of food, and the quartermaster inspects it.
When he's done, he wordlessly takes out a small bag filled with about 125 caps. Caps work as an all-round currency when there's little else to trade.
Griffin: "I suppose that would be alright. We'd need to transport any volunteers back here, and walking is too dangerous. But I'll let Dave drive though, since he built the damned thing." As she informs Dave of the plan, the garage opens, and in walks a lizard-like mutant. It's a woman, with black hair and a long green tail to accompany her green scaly skin. She's wearing a trenchcoat over some casual clothes, with the symbolic blue cloth on her arm. She's also carrying some gloves, a handgun, and a box of various supplies. "I'm back." She notice you quickly, then look at you. "Who are you?"
Graham: You are indeen lucky, as you got caught on what you assume is the 3rd floor. With a quick jolt, you're free to slide down the pipe to the ground.
You're now on the ground of the tower again. There's no signs of the spy anywhere.

Sammy sighs sadly as there wasn't anything cool to acquire other than dosh. She pockets her loot and returns home to a Lucy who is awake and probably quite confused.

Greer: You triumphantly return to the tower, and ride the semi-motorized elevator to the top. There you find the warboss, speaking to the trader. Earl.
Graham: You return to the lobby, and check the one (once) functional elevator. Still locked up beyond belief. And the computer seems to have been smashed.
You're sure it's recent, since it was fully functional when you went up.
There's some rustling in the foilage outside the tower.
Griffin: ((no. she's not. Dave's talking to Jenny right now.)) The woman looks at you, as if scanning you. Before anything goes akward, Jenny steps on up. "Riley! You're back!" The woman, called Riley, hands over the box to Jenny "Yeah, sorry if it took too long." "Oh I'm sure you had your reasons! This is Griffin, a new recruit! I've tasked him to recruit some more people around the local villages." "Shouldn't that be handled by someone more experienced?" "I'm sure that he can handle it, don't worry Riley." Riley sighs, then walks of to the storage. "Dave's ready for you, so hop on to the halftrack!"

Greer flexes his hands and steadies his breathing as the elevator heads to the top. Gotta keep up images, y'know? Presenting yourself as either a raging psycho like the Warboss or a cold, calculated murder like yours truly was really the only way to get any recognition around here. Sliding the door open, he strolls out, cool and collected, right up to the Warboss and Earl, his hand slamming down the head of the bandit leader right smack in the center of Earl's counter.
"Done."

Greer: Earl grabs a hold of the head, looks into the dry, dead eyes, then puts it behind the counter. "That's great pal." He pulls out a small bag with about 300 caps, and put them on the table.
The warboss seems pleased for a brief moment. Not impressed, but pleased. He pulls back from the counter casually, and looks you in the eyes aswell. "You up for more? Cause we're going to war."
You note that most of the village inhabitants are gearing up, with armor and weapons. The firebarrels glow brightly onto the village on the towertop, and the moon looms overhead.
Griffin: Wating little time, you hop on onto the halftrack again, and soon enough you're riding along the trails, heading towards the village. "So you're from Supmark?" Dave suddenly remarks.

"'Long as it's nothing too simple for someone like me." Greer replies, tapping his nails on the hilt of his sword.

"Guns. And I'm not talking pistols, or muskets, or flintlocks or any of that shit. Assault rifles. Five of them. In a locked case, in a room off the side of the main entrance." Greer states calmly, an invisible smirk on his covered face.

Greer: "Now that is interesting. I can't use any firearms," He puts emphasis on his larger than normal hands. "but some of the guys could provide some interesting support in our assaults. I'll send a couple of guys to break it down or move it back here."
"Now get ready, we attack in half an hour."
Griffin: "Oh you'll build things if you put in some imagination, but yeah! Supmark rules!" The overgrown streets make it hard to see beyond what's just in front of you, but you're certain that you're almost at Supmark.

Greer: "Oh I'm sure you won't need any replacement for the good old tower-sword now will you? But I do have some thing that might interest you. With a discount, considering that you'll need some equipment soon."
Earl has: |Scrap suit| -200 caps- A suit made from scrap tied together with leather straps. Decent protection from bashing, superior protection from cuts, and little protection against bullets. But it's noisy and quite cumbersome. |Supmark Crossbow| -150 caps- A crossbow we "aquired" from Supmark when they left it unsupervised. Made from scrap, and packs quite a punch, but slow as hell to reload. Comes with 10 bolts. |Leather Armor Set| -175 caps- This one was also left unattended, although by shattered panes. A lighter form of armor, protecting decently from cuts, and lightly from bashes. Nothing against bullets though.
Griffin: "Well since we're the recruiters, we'll bring up the basic goodness that this world might still offer. If that fails, I dunno..."

((Wanted to wait a while for some posts max, as this is today's final one. And your character might have to look, Wilson)) Griffin: You reach the empty lot in front of Supmark, and Dave pulls up to the main gate and sounds the horn. A figure steps out into the dark lot, and walks up to the driver's seat. "Who are you then?" Dave holds up his hand and waves, "Hi warden, just wanted to swing by and see if anyone wants to join our cause!" "You're still in that group Dave? Sheesh..." The guard spots you in the back "And you brought Griffin back to us too. Hey Griffin! The boss needs to speak to you."
With a roar, the gates open, and Dave drives on in. He parks out of the way near the hole in the roof.
There's still people out in the village, even though it's night. Supmark always were a busy place.

Greer looks over the armor presented before him, thinking for a short while. "I'll take the leather." He likes being able to move freely and quietly, and his thick, scarred skin already provides some decent protection on its own. Once purchased, he'll quickly slip it on and look to the Warboss. "Well then, which group of poor bastards is the Tower attacking now?"

"Indeed, I have. They live among the Pillars, if I'm correct." Greer replies, mulling over the assault in his head. "So, what did the Shattered Panes do to deserve a visit from the Tower?"

All: The sun return from beyond the horizon, bathing the world in a gentle morning light.
Graham: You step out into the orange-lit valley, bow at the ready. You carefully and cautiously scan the surrounding foilage for the rustling.
It would seem that wahtever made those noises, are gone now... [6] You manage to dodge the sudden leap from the foilage from the side. In a mere second, you're back on your feet to see your attacker. It's a Jaguar.
Looks like it wants to tear the flesh from your bones, and eat it. It's getting ready to jump at you again, fangs at the ready.
Greer: ((I take it you've done all you wanted, and therefore I'll go ahead and drag you along for the assault. If not, sorry. Got a schedule to keep XD))
"They're weak. And they have things I want. Do you need more?"
As the morning light arrives, the warboss, wearing some seriously heavy armor and a bumper-sword, roars the mutants and others on to the elevator. There's little objection from anyone, as everyone seems eager to do this. On the ride down the large makeshift elevator, you're among a sea of armored soldiers of the tower, all wielding some kind of large weapon or other.
As the elevator hits the ground with a thud, you all start to wander down along for the gathering point.
The journey is rather quiet, though occasionally someone roars out, and is responed by a similar chant from all the others.
You'll reach shattered panes shortly in at this rate. You're right behind the warboss, who's leading the warband without question.
Zaweri: You decide to climb up an unspecifed amount of stairs, until you find something interesting.
And after a long, and tiring climb, you find yourself on the roof. Looking out over the valley, all covered in the gentle morning light.
You can see far from here. ((All players might want to read this, as this is common knowledge in the valley.)) -Beyond the valley to the west, is the plains. Dotted by small buildings that acording to old knowledge was used for farming. -Beyond the plains, you see the outskirts of the deep jungle. A savage place were few ever return from. -To the north, you see golem bay. It's mainly plain and grassy hills, with roads somewhere under the grass. In far into the bay you see the golem hall. The golem bay is littered with golems, wandering around, looking for intruders. The golems are massive robots, with four legs and some major weaponry. And of course, beyond that, is the Beyond. A seemingly endless place where towers and pillars are far and inbetween. A place which is seemingly impossible to reach, due to the watchful gaze of the golems. -To the south you see the deep jungle aswell, close to the area where the hidden gecko village somewhere lie. -And lastly, to the east you see the sea. Who knows what lies beyond the sea? But closer to you, is the Rio harbour. Where a container-circled vilalge lie, the Edge of Water. Just a little to the side is the harbour proper, where wrecks of old ships lie, aswell as a bunch of old-world warehouses.
Griffin The boss steps out, and towards you. "There you are!" He looks at the halftrack, then around a bit. "Where's the crawler?"
Sammy & Lucy: While you lie resting, the door suddely knocks heavily. Behind it you hear: "Sammy! The elder has called for a meeting in his office!" The knocking then stops, and someone walks away from the door.

Griffin: The boss looks at you. And his face turns more stern. "You sold it? You sold a CRAWLER. A machine that's worth more than any raider scum that you'd find in the valley." He looks rather angry now. "Unless you sold it to the goddamned tower, I doubt that you made anything better!"

When he turns back to you, it would seem that he's yet to calm down. He looks at Dave, who's been quietly observing the whole situation. "And who the fuck is this?!"

Griffin: Dave steps out, and offers his hand in greeting. The boss simply stares at him. "Eh... Maybe you don't know me, but I was born and raised here. Names Dave." The boss looks at you, then back to Dave. "Buddy, I was just recently put in charge after old stockman died. And I don't remember you." It would seem that there's some people gathering around this firery conversation. "I don't know why you're back here Dave, but I do know that Griffin here is going to have to help the mechanic to build a new crawler. And that' snot going to be a piece of cake!"
Sammy: You leave Lucy behind, and go to the elder's office. The room is rather spacious for being a office, but poorly lit. In the middle is the desk, with the elder seated behind it. Around it are several chairs and benches, most that are occupied. You find a empty seat in the back, and soon the meeting begins.
The elder, a old and experienced man dressed in camo clothes, speaks up in his rather dark voice. "Geckos. As some of you may know, today the Shattered Panes village will be destroyed by the tower. We've been cooperating with them, providing intel and such. Most which came from our best free stalker, Riley. Unforunatly, the tower seems to have decided to slip out on our deal, and have ingnored to provide us with our payments." The elder gets up, and slams his hands down onto the desk. "While some may argue that it's unwise to do so, I've decided that we need to pre-emptively strike the tower, before they come for us!" There's some hushed talking among the geckos.

Post by: HS1342 on February 07, 2016, 04:57:51 pm
Sammy: Maybe it's a bit too dark in the back for anyone to see?
The elder waits for things to go quiet, then talks again. "Now some of you might think it's a really bad idea attacking those merciless beasts, but I have a plan. The tower consists of brutes, intelligence-lacking brutes. And we excell at stabbing stupid people in the back, am I right?" After a bunch of yeah's emerging from the crowd, he continues. "Right now they should be on the way towards shattered panes, leaving the tower only slightly defended by their traders and guards. So if we slip in there, and rig some of the main floors to collapse, using those explosive charges we nicked from those warehouses, then wait for them to return..."
Griffin: The boss looks skeptical, but he seems a tad bit calmer than he was before. "I doubt that you'll be able to Griffin, but fine. I'll give you 2 weeks. But if you fail, or simply don't return, I'll have you hunted down, and brought here to build 10 of them under supervision." He then storms off, into the crowd. Dave turns to you "Whoa, that's quite the promise you've made. Hope you know how to manage that." He then turns his attention to the gathered crowd. "But how about we get to the matter at hand now?"
Zaweri: After taking in the view, you proceed with the long journey down.
Exhausted, you emerge at the foot of the tower. From there, you hike towards the plains in the west.
On the way there, you come across a pillaged caravan on a side path. It's not the road you need to go down, but it looks abandoned and forgotten.

Sammy: Seems like the elder heard you among the others (or simply didn't ignore you). "Sammy, I doubt that the tower will leave anyone alive to take the blame..." The others quiet down, and the elder thinks for a moment. "Although... You may have something there. If we could then pin the blame on Supmark, they'll most likely destroy eachother... But how do we make them think it was them..."

Post by: HS1342 on February 07, 2016, 05:55:55 pm
Sammy: The elder sits down, and ponders for a moment. He then starts to chuckle, as he turns to face the geckoes once more. "Yes! That's a perfect suggestion... And the best of all is, that we just managed to get a hold of one!" He laughs a bit, then proceeds "Some idiotic Supmark bastard left a crawler at a freshly raided caravan, and one of ours found and brought it here! So now the plan comes to this... We'll go to the tower, with the crawler. Once there we'll pop a tread or something similar, making it seem like it was too damaged to bring back! Then we'll proceed with the plan, and bring the forgotten tower down, leaving an angry warboss nothing but a crawler to point out who tore down their precious tower!"
He get's up from his seat, and looks sternly into the crowd. "Alright geckos! Let's get right to it then!" As most of the geckoes have cleared out of the room, the elder turns his attention to you. "Sammy! I didn't think you were this clever! Come now, we'll turn the Valley into a warzone!"
Graham: You switfly nock an arrow, take aim, and loosen. [2] The arrow overshoots the Jaguar, leaving it free to jump you once again! [3+1] The jaguar manage to give your arm a stining scratch with it's claws, but otherwise it flies by without too much trouble. The wound hurts a bit, but you've felt worse. Looks like it's preparing to jump you again.

He walks on over to the door, and holds it open. "I'm feeling truly alive for the first time in a decade, Sammy. Soon the Silent Geckos will be a force to be feared once more..."

One step closer everyday...
Sammy simply gives a smile and a polite bow as the Elder walks away like a giddy fool. She then steps out of the village elder's hut and goes home to see if the ammo box the turret had is the same ammo type that her assault rifle takes.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 07, 2016, 06:27:32 pm
Sammy: The elder, along with all other geckos except the door guard, leave the tunnels to partake in the attack on the tower. You'll catch up with them if you want to. It takes time to move about three dozen people without being seen.
You check the ammo in your compact assault rifle. 7,62 x 51. And then the box. 7,62 x 51.
Well that's fortunate... Seems like you have about 300 rounds then, after you've removed those that were destroyed by the machete. And that would give you a total of 11 magazines worth of ammo if you count the one that already was in. Too bad you only have one actual magazine though...
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: Siege-Loli on February 07, 2016, 06:38:16 pm
Sammy will leave a note for Lucy, explaining where she is going and then join the others on the attack on the Tower. But before that, she'll attempt to take the belt out of the ammo box and chamber it into her assault rifle. If successfully done, she'll wear the ammo belt around her body. She'll never have to reload!

Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 07, 2016, 06:48:57 pm
Sammy: You leave a note in your room, where a resting Lucy lie.
As you're about to leave, you see if it would be possible to put in the entire belt instead of relying of magazines. While it sounds reasonable enough, it's just not possible. The feed that's where the magazine would go just don't accept belts. And even if you managed to force it in there, the belt would probably get badly stuck in the rifle, maybe even damaging it.
Though it may be possible to modify it. But you'd have to go to someone else for that, as you currently don't have to know-how to do it.
Graham: You nook an arrow again, and let it go towards the jaguar. [10] The arrow perfectly penetrates the skull of the jaguar, killing it in an instant.
You're now standing outside the unnamed tower, with a jaguar carcass beside you.

"So, boss, what's the game plan, hm?" Greer asks the Warboss as they near Shattered Panes. "Run right in? Have some people sneak about? Call for a meeting with their leader?" He names some possibilities off the top of his head, idly swinging his Tower-Sword back and forth in one hand.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 08, 2016, 03:42:24 pm
All: Seems like there's stormclouds gathering above.
Sammy: You waste no time, and join up with the advancing Geckos, into the valley, now darkened by the gathering stormclouds above.
Soon enough, you find youself on the second floor of a building in front of the tower, along with about a dozen other geckos and the elder himself.
The tower seems mostly unguarded, though there's the usual guard in front of the doors, and there's also a couple of mutants approaching the tower, hauling some heavy-lloking locker.
The elder whispers to you and the others; "Alright, this is it. We've split up in three groups, ours being group 1. The other groups have surrounded the tower from the other sides, in case things goes sour, and we have to apply force." He turns his head to face you "Sammy, would you mind disposing of those guys out there?"
Zaweri: You approach the abandoned wreckage, and have a look around. While two of the three wagons were empty, you hear something from the third.
You cautiously approach, and look inside. There's a large komodo-dragon inside, hissing as it looks at you. As you have knowledge from the Green Glade village, you have a chance at taming this beast.
Greer: "They won't be able to hold us back no matter what we do. Might as well be direct..."
The remaining march towards the village is a quiet one. The only you hear is the occasional rustle in the foilage, or the silent breeze of the wind.
Soon, you reach the gates of Shattered Panes. They've been closed, and it looks like the village is ready to resist your invasion, with bowmen on the small palisade walls. The mutants carrying shields hurry to form a wall in front of the rest of you, then proceed to advance closer and closer to the gate. The tower soldiers chants and taunts, while the Shattered panes guards fire into the formation as best they can. "BRING UP THE GATE-BREAKER!" the warboss shouts.
A mutant comes up from the back, pushing an old-world shopping cart carrying a barrel marked as flammable. "Let's see what this gecko-present can do!" The warboss push the mutant aside, and kick the gate-breaker towards the gate, making the soldiers in front of you barely move out of the way.
The cart hits. Hard. It explodes in a ball of fire, leaving the gate blown wide open.
The warboss roars, and now the butcher's work begins. The formation rush into the village, accompanied by terrified screams from inside.
Graham: You skin the jaguar, and pull out it's teeth. By the time you're done, you look towards your village, and find several large pillars of smoke eminate from where the village is!
Griffin: Dave doesn't respond, and simply continues where you began. "We're from the lawbringers! A group of independent induviduals that seek only one thing. Justice! We fight the bandits, and we fight the beasts! We protect those who can't protect themselves, and more! We're here to ask you one thing. Is there anyone here that belives in justice here?!" His words are met with some skepticism, but there are some that nod in the crowd.
Seems like Dave would like you to speak now.

Lucy: You leave Sammy's room, and step into the residential corridor. After going to the end of that corridor, you spot a gecko guard at the door leading out of here. He seems to be sleeping though. Sleeping while standing no less.
Griffin: [7] You're not the most well-spoken Supmarker, but you manage to tip the scale of decision for about 8 of the supmark residents. They step on forward, and express their interest in serving a greater good. 5 of them are about middle-aged, and the other three are simple teenagers (maybe ranging from 14 to 17).
Dave gestures them to step forward, then begins to introduce them to their arm-cloths and weapons, such as knives and spears. There's still a crowd here, if you'd like to push a little further.

All Seems like it's that time now. It's raining, heavily.
Griffin: "Fine by me." You and Dave get into the halftrack with your new recruits.
Soon enough, you're on the trails leading back to base. There's some chatter among the recruits, as it would seem that most of them know eachother. Only two stay silent, watching the trails the halftrack pass by.
As you're out on the trails in the rain, you spot a bunch of larger smoke-pillars eminating from where Shattered panes should be. "Whoa... Looks like there's some kind of fire over at Shattered panes..."
JC: You step out of the shack you've called home for your entire life. Into the rain-covered fortified farmstead of Ancient Dirt. Around you are several other small shacks, housing villagers and farmhands. In the middle of the farmstead, on the top of the hill lies the head farmer's home. A larger two-story house, with proper walls.
You're wearing your dirty jumpsuit, and your worn backpack. In the backpack you carry: your lighter, your knife, and your light-crossbow, along with some bolts.
The gates lies on the side of the farmstead walls, leading out to the plains. From there you should be able to wander to the Valley of Pillars, where more tribal villages lie. Other than that, there's the deep jungle to the east. Though that's not a very kind place.
The farmstead is mostly empty. It lacks a trader, but there's sometimes a traveling one visiting. There's also a bunch of farmhands taking cover from the rain under a small roof, built to house firewood.
Graham: You hurry on back to the village, using a path that leads up onto a concealed rooftop among the foilage. From there, you have a great view of the village.
Though it's not that great. It would seem that the village is in the process of being burnt to the ground by those mutants from the forgotten tower. About half the village lies dead, and the rest is screaming in terror as the tower soldiers kill without mercy.
There's atleast 60 of them. That's a lot of heavily armed mutants. You could slide down to the street below if you'd like to enter the village.

Zaweri: [6+2] Following the knowledge of the Green Glade, you attempt to tame the komodo dragon. The method is your of interpretation of the teachings, thus you're most likely to succeed.
After a longer struggle, you've gained basic trust from the large komodo dragon. You'd eventuallly gain it's full trust if you're to keep interacting with it.
And hell, you actually think that you'd be able to ride this thing. It's just big enough to support you. (Don't read to deep into that line...)

"Drop the safe and get the fuck outta here."
If they leave, she'll run up and attempt to stab them in the back. If they refuse, they get shot.

He puts his backpack above his head to shelter himself from the rain as he runs over towards where people are taking cover. Even though the landscape was normally painted in heavy shades of dull greys, JC enjoyed the rain. It meant that he didn't have to tend the crops, and the sounds of it hitting the surface always calmed him down.

Greer doesn't talk much. Keeping up his cold veneer helps his rep around the Tower, and he'll be damned if he's marked as a coward by the others for refusing to cut up some fleeing villagers. Taking care of a few with little to no problem thanks to the onrush of his people, Greer notices a lone bowman firing into the charging Tower mutants, and so he redirects himself and charges at the archer, hoping to knock the newcomer's bow from his hands with his trusty Tower-Sword.

Zaweri: Well, the nest it made is empty. Though it seems to be reluctant to do so, it seems willing to follow you away from it.
Sammy: With the cover of the storm, you have little problem finding yourself a way up behind the first, idle guard. [6+3] As a streak of lightning pass by in the sky, you thrust your machete into the guards throat. He screams faintly as the thunder hits, masking it completely.
You then wait a moment, then ambush the mutants carrying the locker. [5+3] Having an assault rifle really helps here. They drop the locker, hands in the air, and stare at you and your weapon. "Fuck the safe, and the boss! Let's bail!" They tun away, cowering as they do, probably scared that you'll end them too early.
The moment they're gone, a dozen geckoes emerge from the surrounding fauna, and run into the building. They're followed by the elder, that stops to talk with you. "Well done child, but there's more for you to do. I saw some kind of vehicle approaching the tower. Deal with them."
JC: ((I assume you want me to make up a friend for you)) Although you could call them all your friends, there's one person on this farm that you really do call your friend. Carl. He's a mutant, looking like a rat with his fur and tail. "JC! Good to see you up and around, mate!" You inquire about what's been going on. "Well, it's all the same around here, but I swear I've been seeing some pillars of smoke from the valley. No idea what's going on though."
Greer: You slice left and right, killing villagers until you spot the archer. Sword in hand, you rush towards him from behind.
Graham: You abort firing on the savage mutants, and turn your attention around, towards a fastly approaching mutant, covered in leather armor, and bandages.
Greer vs. Graham: ((I hope this works to simulate pvp battles.)) Graham fires an arrow upon Greer. [4] It misses, and flies above him.
Greer gets in close, and raises his sword to slash Graham from the side. [9+2] The blade slides in without too much resistance, and Graham is brought down to the ground.
Graham attemps to pull a second wind to get up and continue fighting on pure adrenaline. [4-3] But his wounds are too severe.
Graham lies on the ground, barely alive, at Greer's mercy.
Griffin: "Fine by me." You drive along for another minute, then Dave speaks up. "Damn, I can't see much in this rain! And the mud is getting hard even for the halftrack! I think I've made a detour, but I'll try to get my bearings!"
Lucy: You sneak up on the standing, sleeping guard. [6] You make a small noise, and he snorts a bit. But he seems to still be asleep.
You then try to open the door. [7] By the skin of your teeth, you mange to open the heavy door, and leave the tunnels.
You now find yourself in a once-busy highway tunnel. Collapsed on one end, leaving only the way out. It's raining heavily at the end of the tunnel.
((That took some time to write. Sorry.))

"We should get that safe though, it seemed important." Sammy said to the Elder as she went over a sneaky to see where the vehicle was it.
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 03:47:42 pm
Lucy: The tunnel is calmly echoing the rainfall up ahead. Noone seems to be around, fortunatly.
You leave the tunnel, and are greeted by the heavy rainfall. Around you are buildings and towers that you've barely ever seen. You'vegot no idea what way is out, or anything for that matter.
You note something in your pocket. It's a PDA, strange. Do you even remember where you got it? Perhaps you were down for the count at the time...
Zaweri: You hop onto your komodo dragon, and ride off towards the plains, where you were supposed to be heading in the first place.
Soon you reach the end of the valley, and find the plains stretching all the way to the deep jungle. Littered all around the plains are small buildings, formerly known as farmhouses. One in perticular looks fortified.
Sammy: "There's little time once we've planted the bombs. And we really shouldn't stay out in the open any more that we have to." The stolen crawler crawls up to the doors, and the driver hops off, shoves a metal pipe into the treads, turning it inoperable. He then runs into the tower, along with the elder.
While seeing the approaching vehicle would help, you just can't get to a good enough location for doing so. But you do hear a roaring engine approach. Seems like it's going to drive past the road you're on, and it'll be here in about a minute!

Sammy decides to go onto her belly just off the road and give herself a quick mudding (she rubs herself in mud) and sets up her gun, waiting for the half track to past. When/If it does, she'll attempt to stop them but if they dont, she'll attempt to shoot the driver.

"Well I hope that it doesn't come our way then. Any word on any traders coming by? I know it's stupid to ask considering the smoke.", JC asks leaning out from the covering to get a better look at the black pillar of smoke soaring into the air.

His eyes widen as slumps to his knees, he grabs his wound. He looks down to his cut, then to the mutant that caused it, "W- Wow. I didn't think I'd go down like this..." he hoarsly laughs, "So, what are you gonna do?"
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE]
Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 04:05:55 pm
Griffin 1 of 2: "I don't recognize anything here, Griffin. It'd be unwise to stop in this rain too." The halftrack jolts as it hits a small bump, then Dave speaks again. "Hey, isn't that the forgotten tower?! MAN are we in the wro..."
Sammy: You quickly blend in with the mud, and get into a shooting position from where the halftrack is coming from.
The engine becomes louder... louder... and louder. Until you see it emerge from the wet foilage. You steady yourself, and fire once. [5+2] With the element of suprise, you plant a bullet straight into the driver's hed.
Griffin 2 of 2: Dave is cut short, litteraly, as his head takes a bullet to the head, from the open hatch in the front of the halftrack. His foot must have been on the pedal though, as the halftrack speeds off uncontrolled. It happens too fast to react.
Sammy & Griffin: The halftrack speeds off to the side, and hits the locker that the mutants dropped. As it does, it's flipped over to it's side. [8] Griffin is lucky, if he could say so, as he lands on one of the recruits as the halftrack flips. The recruit dies with a broken neck, and the others are stunned by the crash.
The halftrack is completely covered, so Sammy can't look inside.
Lucy: You check for, well, stuff. In the PDA. You note the map function, giving you a full map of the area. Looks pretty accurate too, considering that it's even showing the overgrowth on the streets, and the few scattered collapsed towers. With this, you could find your way back to the broken bridge, where your boat should be.
Other than that, there's the features that you faintly remember that Gerald guy say while being slighly dizzy.
JC: "The traders... huh... Well, it's been a while since the last one. So I guess that whatever's going on in the valley must be serious. And since they don't know what a schedule is..." Carl makes a joking gesture.

He to Daves body, and whispers Fuck no! Rest in peace, Dave. and he closes his eyes, if they aren't closed. He tells the recruits Who the fuck would do that! Guys stay here. I'll go out of the halftrack to see something. He then comea out, and screams Whoever did this, FUCK YOU! DAVE WILL BE AVANGED! . He says and just runs maddly around. ((Does he know the way to the base?))

Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 04:15:55 pm
Griffin: ((Well, yes. But it's not close by.)) You leave the shaken recruits in the flipped halftrack, and find someone (Sammy) pointing a gun at you. (Look at the post for details)

"Guess I'll check up on the walls then, maybe if I'm lucky one of the "higher hands" left their jacket out.", JC then rushes out from the cover using his pack once again to shield himself from the rain as he makes patrols around the fence to see what needs fixin' and maybe look for some tools.

Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 04:28:04 pm
JC: "You do that, and I'll check the fields..." You head on out of the shelter, and off to the walls.
You walk along them, looking for any breaches or structual weakness. No rainjackets from the farmer's family left around though...
As you pass by a gate in the side of the wall, you spot something moving around the plains. You squint, and see what it is. It's a stray golem. (A four-legged robot tank of sorts) This could get dangerous if it decides to check the farmstead.
Sammy vs. Griffin: The moment Griffin darts towards her, Sammy fires 4 rounds in a burst. [6] Although barely, one bullet find its way into Griffin's arm. It starts to bleed.
The bullet in the arm forces Griffin to stop behind a concrete collumn next to the doors of the tower. It's painful, but Griffin remains steady.

Instead of playing hero or screaming like a madman, he decides to calmly walk to the head farmers house to inform him that the Golems are starting to move ever closer to their village. Seems like paradise even all the way out here is a lost cause.

JC: You calmly walk on over to the head's house, and knock. Nothing...
Strange. The farmer's supposed to be here 24/7. He and his family never even leaves the farmstead... There's a light on inside though, and upon closer inspection, the door seems unlocked aswell.
Sammy: You check the ammo counter on the side of the rifle. 25 of 30 bullets in the magazine.

Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 04:58:00 pm
JC: Carl quietly gives you an "ok" gesture, and stands at the door, keeping an eye out.
You enter the house. A place which you rarely get to enter. The interior is fancier than anything in the huts, with clean furniture made from actual wood, rather than the scrap you use.
While it's interesting to look at, you notice that there's items strewn across the floor, making it seem like the family left in a rush. Most of the important stuff like food and supplies are gone too.
Could it be that they left at night, when you tired farmhands slept as much as you could before it was time to work again?
Carl whispers in through the door; "What do you see?"
Zaweri: You start to move towards the fortified farmstead. But halfway there, you spot a golem slowly and steadily approach it.
Those things aren't to play with, but you could still get there before it does.
Sammy vs. Griffin: Griffin goes all-in, and jumps out of cover to attack Sammy.
Sammy, ready for such a tactic, empties the magazine at him the moment he does. [8] About 14 of the 25 bullets find their mark.
Griffin can do little but slump to his knees, struggling to breathe through his torn lungs; world looking pretty grey now.
Griffin's as good as dead, and nothing can save him. But Sammy could give him a faster end to things, if she wish to do so.
Graham: While doing so would seem appropriate at this time, it hurts a bit to much to move right now. ((And doing so would be a wee bit unfair, wouldnt it? It's a shame forrest can't reply, yes; but what can you do...))
Title: Re: Beyond 2452 [Updates: ONLINE] (Clash of the Tribes)

Sammy will take this time to begin reloading the magazine as she watched the color leave Griffins eyes. She would then turn around and leave him there to go back to the back of the half track. She'd then shoot everyone inside the back of the track.

All the air escaped JC's lungs as he saw the sight. "T-those bastards, those fucking bastards they knew.", he thought to himself. He rushed to Carl and told him, "Organize the people up here get them inside the house, tell them it's a town meeting! NOW!"

Post by: HS1342 on February 10, 2016, 05:11:49 pm
Sammy: You reload, and leave Griffin to his death.
You then walk up behind the halftrack, with a clear view of the scared recruits inside. There's no resistace worth mentioning, and all you'd need is a clever one-liner as you empty another clip into the halftrack.
Soon there's only corpses around.
The doors to the tower opens, and the geckos return from the planting. The elder shouts; "COME ON! THIS TOWER'S COMING DOWN!" You note that there's noticable less geckos left.
JC: After a bunch of loud calls from Carl, the entire farmhand workforce arrives reluctantly to the house. All 7 of them. "What are we doing in here? And where's the head?"
Griffin: Breathing's getting really hard, and you can only see blurs all around. You breathe in... And out... Then you can't get another little gust of air down anymore.
You close your eyes, and fall head-first into the mud.
You are dead.
Zaweri: You look at the golem. It's slowly moving towards the farmstead. Other than that, It's not doing much else than scanning the ground around it.

JC steadies himself, this isn't the first time he's had to do a motivational speech for his farm hands. "Our masters have abandoned us due to a looming danger that's been growing outside our walls. As you know those Golems have been on a fast approach towards us and our masters promised us shelter or protection from that. We thought we would be able to avoid conflict but it seems that even in this world conflict is something we cannot escape. But I ask of you not to take up arms, we need to find a place to hold out at this house is very old and should have some form of a way out. I need all of you to comb this place out from top to bottom to find anything that we can hide in or escape through." He steadies himself and looks at Carl. "If worse comes to worse we'll flee into the jungles and find a safer way into the city. But I promise you that I will get you all out of here, no matter how tough it gets."
Bile crept in JC's throat, he realized he made a promise that he wouldn't be able to keep.

Sammy: "THE TOWER'S COMING DOWN, AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME! LET'S GO SAMMY!!!" The elder and his geckos run into the foilage, and disperce. They'll probably assemble at base after making sure they're not followed.
Lucy: As you try to open the camera app...
Sammy & Lucy: Your PDA's vibrate, then sound a chirpy tune.
Zaweri: You leave for other farms. There's three in sight. One near the deep jungles, another near the river, and another next to the valley edge.
JC: The farmhands takes a moment to let the speech sink in, then reluctantly decides to go along, and begin to search the house. Carl asks; "We haven't got a chance against a golem anyway, so we need to run indeed. But how do we get out of here without alerting it? How did the family get out?"

JC stars looking for a cellar or a basement, a house like this has to have something like that. "I'm thinking that they got out underground, these people used to have like tunnels or something running under their houses. I'm guessing they went out that way, if not they just ran like hell clear towards the city. Who knows maybe they tried to run and got killed by the Golem which led it this way, all I know is that we need to get out and we'll worry about revenge or whatever later."

Zaweri: Through the mud and rain, you reach the river-side farmstead. The river is wide and deep. Impossible to cross without a bridge or boat.
The farmstead itself consists of a house, a toolshed, and a garage. The komodo dragon seems to pay attention to the toolshed for some reason.
Sammy: Into the rain and thunder, you dissappear into the overgrown valley. Behind you, a loud explosion on one of the middle floors cause the entire tower to come crumbling down.
Sammy & Lucy: Seems like there's a message for you on your PDA's. "Feeling up for some dangerous but worthwhile work? Gonna hit golem bay with the tools you helped me aquire. I'm expecting there to be plenty of loot. Find me and my friends at the factory -Gerald"
JC: The moment you finish talking, a farmhand shouts from the basement. "Hey! I found a tunnel down here!" Carl merely shrugs at the convinence, and walks down the stairs, along with the rest of the farmhands.

JC: In the basement, you find the tunnel. Formely hidden behind a crate, the tunnel goes a short bit into the rock, before you note that it joins in with some kind of subway tunnel. Carl remarks; "Well, that's how they got out without us noticing. Wonder if they're still down there?"
There's no farmhand that's willing to in there alone to check it out. Except Carl, since he's always ready to help you.
Lucy: You go for a stroll in the rain, towards the factory. Though you have to stop at the broken bridge, and climb on down to your raft.
With a small journey, you reach the factory, disembark, and walk on in.
You're in the corridor next to the assembly hall. There's voices from there, and it would seem that noone heard you come in. There's two voices. One's Gerald, the other sounds a bit annoyed. "Where's this "help" you've asked for?" "Calm down Riley, we've only waited half an hour." "Fine, but tell me about the help, would you?" "Well, there's 2 of them..." You could walk in, or eavesdrop a little...
Zaweri: You carefully, carefully, open the toolshed door. [1] The moment you open the door just slightly, the door flies open, causing you to fly off and land face-first in the mud.
The moment you regain your bearings, you look at what caused the violent outburst.
It's a small bipedal robot. There's text saying "FARMER'S AID" on it. And it looks mighty haywire, flailing it's arms around while chanting "INTRUDER ALERT".
Sammy: You return safely to Silent Gecko village, where a rare sight is seen. There's people walking along the corridors, cheerfully bragging about their deeds today. Nothing too ridiculous though. In fact, you can hear some geckos singing in a secluded quarters. The door to the elder is wide open.
And your room is empty. Seems like Lucy's gone off somewhere.

JC sighs, "Tell them it's safe, we can take whatever is down there with force. Hell they might even be too afraid to pick on a larger group. We'll see where this leads, and if we find the old family... I don't know what we'll do we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

Lucy: You stand still, and silently listen in. "There's a blue-haired one that seems quite interested in the promise of loot. She even took a bullet down in the basement down there to get some of the loot." "What's so special about that?" "Well... Yeah, she wasn't that talkative, or concious most of the time. But the other one..." "What about the other one?" "A small, and wild one. She... hugged me while I was pointing a gun at them both." "And you didn't shoot why?..." "Guess I was too suprised to think straight. Damn glad I didn't though..." "Some engineer you are..." "*sigh* Just sit down for another hour or two. I owe them a chance to partake in this."
Then there's silence.
Zaweri: While that seems like a sound plan, you don't have sodding idea where the sensors are. Anyhow, you throw some mud at it. [7] Well, you hit a joint connecting the torso and a leg, causing the leg to slow to a halt. The robot doesn't seem that concerned about it though, and wails away at the air.
JC: You, Carl and the farmhands decend the small tunnel.
You land on your feet, and look around. You're definately in some sort of old-world subway. It's dark, but one of the farmhands brought along an oil-lamp. There's two ways to go from here. Left, or right. Carl's tail twitches as it touches the ground. "That's strange... I feel almost at home down here." One of the farmhands remarks that it's probably cause he's a rat-mutant. Carl merely chuckles at him.
There's tracks here though. Boot-marks. Leading right, into the darkness.
((Think I'm gonna call it quits here. But as always, tune back in tomorrow. We've made tons of progress today.))

(SHIT SORRY WILSON)
Greer looks down towards the fallen mutant, obviously too weak to continue fighting. His eyes turn to the scene around him; houses burning, mutants and humans screaming, people dying, and for a second, he realizes what titanic numbskulls everyone involved in the situation is. The fuck is he even fighting for, so the Warboss can have some cool new stuff that he'll never share, as usual? So Greer can keep running around for him, doing whatever the fuck he says and killing whoever the fuck he says? After a short few moments of thinking this over, Greer looks the mutant straight in the eye.
"Fuck this. You wanna live? Come on then." He rasps, reaching down to take the mutant's arm and hefting him upwards.

Zaweri: It may be made of metal, but with a lot of resolve, you rush up to the imobilized and frenzied farmer robot to punch it using your blade gauntlet. [6-2] It takes the punch with a mere scratch, and proceeds to flail at you. [3] The robot manages to sucker-punch you, throwing you on your back. It hurts, but you manage to avoid breaking anything. The robot remains stuck.
JC: You and your following strolls down the dark tunnel, using the small lamp to light a small distance in front of you. After a long and dark journey, you find a side-passage leading to some kinda stairwell. The stairwell is dimly lit, possibly by the grey sky. There's also the faint sound of the downpour outside eminating from the stairwell. The tunnel continues on forward though, but the tracks proceed up the stairs. "The asshat and his folks must've left the tunnels there...
Yes, I know that's pretty obvious..."
Greer & Griffin: ((I didn't misread it, I DEED NAWT. Oh hi forrest.)) Greer, with along with a wounded Graham tries to slip away in the fight. It would seem easy, though since you're surrounded by mutants and bloodshed, it may be a little harder to slip away without being noticed. [7-2] Barely, only BARELY you manage to slip out of the battle without resistance.
You now find yourselves at one of the deserted gates of the soon-to-leveled village of Shattered panes. The screams and roars, slightly fainter from where you are.
Sammy: Little happens on your journey through the secret tunnel, over the broken bridge, and along the riverside to the factory.
You enter through the front doors, and find yourself in the assembly hall. Gerald is here, and so is a lizard-like mutant woman. With green scales, black hair, and a trenchcoat over some casual clothes, she scans you with her red eyes. "Oh, Sammy! You made it!" He turns to the woman "This is one of those I talked about, and I'm certain that her skill will come in useful in this heist.
Sammy, this is Riley. She's an old friend of mine, from the silent Gecko tribe"
You know riley. She's known as a skilled free stalker in the tribe.
Riley remains quiet, while looking at you.

Sammy & Lucy: Riley keeps an annoyed look on her face, still with her arms crossed. "Yeah, Hi." Gerald gives a nervous cough, then proceeds to explain; "Glad you asked Sammy. You see, with this factory I've managed to construct these:" He presents a bunch of smaller robots. Hovering behind them, looking fast. "I uncreatively call them baits. We'll use these nimble robots to keep the slow golems busy, while we slip past into golem hall! And I expect there to be some kind of internal security, so that's why I need help."

Sammy & Lucy: Riley seems unipressed, though Gerald ignores her. "Not just mules Sammy, internal security meaning that there might be golems or worse inside. And since you're so good at sneaking up and slicing off important cables and joints, your services will be very useful."
"And yes, you may end up getting shot again Lucy. But this thing might make it a little easier to swallow..." Gerald pulls out a small submachinegun, and an ammo pouch from his bag, and holds it out to Lucy. "It was a bitch to find, but you'll definatively need it.
If you know how to use it..."
JC: You climb up the stairwell, and find the door to the surface. It's ajar. You peek out carefully.
It's hard to tell where you are, but it would seem that the area is covered in tall grass. And there's a factory in sight, merely a hundred meters from you. The rain is loud, and the ground in muddy. Seems like there's no more tracks to follow.

Post by: ajwilli1 on February 12, 2016, 04:15:08 pm
As much as the thought of holding out in a factory sounds amazing, he decides to head back into the tunnel. "Nothing up there but swamp and a factory, if anything well wait out the rain in these tunnels and check it when the weather clears. But let's continue ever onwards down this tunnel." JC then continues his exploration down this tunnel, making some kinda marker at the ajar door.

JC: "Who knows if we'll ever find another exit to the surface, but sure thing sir, we'll keep walking down this dark, scary tunnel." Carl says jokingly, as you continue down the tunnel.
After a dark and scary journey, you reach the end of the tunnel. Seems like it leads into some kind of station. There's a bunch of barrels around, having some glowing embers in them.
There's also corpses around. One specific corpse is lying on the track before you. The corpse looks only a couple days old. It's sad you know such things, but the farm didn't have much kindness for those who were too weak... You're unsure how it died, but there is a platform above you.
The body is dressed in dirty, torn clothes. He's wielding a small blade.
Lucy & Sammy: Gerald chuckles; "So I take it you're onboard then, Lucy?"

Zaweri: Seemingly enraged by the confused robot's mere existance, you decide to give it a kick to it's head. [6-4] You hit, yes. And it hurts pretty badly. Kicking a buckethead robot sure isn't that easy. The robot continues to flail at you since you're near. [8] Though this time you don't stand there and take it. You merely step back, out of range of it's arms.

And if you simply dislike the rolls entierly, state your opinion in the OCC)) You attempt to hit the robot with your gauntlet once more, hoping for better results. [5-4] You hit the robot, and the gauntlet breaks from the continious hitting of metal.
Since you're back in range, the robot swings wildly at you once more. [4] You're forced back as it hits you in the stomach, pushing out the air from your lungs.
Greer & Graham: The village is starting to settle down. As in, the screams are mostly gone. It's still burning in there, but you can bet that the tower is starting to loot in earnest now.

Roki & Dave Jr. You find yourselves on top of an unnamed tower. It's raining. For the most of your lives, you've spent them wandering the valley as nomads, looking for food and supplies.
Without a place to call home, and without any ties, you're free to roam the valley and beyond.
Roki is carrying your only backpack. In it is a pair of knives, and a matchbox.
Below the tower to the north you see the broken bridge, and the strange factory that lies on the side of golem bay. To the west you see pillars of smoke eminating from the village of shattered panes. Recently, the forgotten tower collapsed to your south.
There's a stairwell to the groundfloor here on the roof.

Roki & Dave Jr. You head on down from the tower roof, and over to the broken bridge. Moving carefully over the bridge's slim pieces forming a passage over to golem bay.
You now stand on the other side of the broken bridge, on the edge of golem bay. The grassy slopes stretch upwards in front of you. Occasionally you spot a golem walking around, looking for intruders. The heavy rain is making it hard to see far, and the ground muddy.
On your left you see the factory that emerged from the black mist not too long ago. On your right you see Rio harbour.

Roki & Dave Jr. Without any problems, you reach the Rio harbour.
The harbour consists mainly of concrete piers and warehouses. There's also the harbourmasters office, and the well-guarded edge of water village. There is also a wrecked ship in a drydock nearby. Seems like there's some raiders hanging around there though.
The rain hammers down on the pavement under you, making the cracks leak mud.

Sammy & Lucy: Fast forward to the outskirts of golem bay.
Gerald pulls out his PDA, and taps for a moment. The baits spring to life after being turned off after you left the factory. "Ok, just so that we're on the same page now, once I hit this button, these little buggers are going to flare out as loudly and hostile-seemingly as possible.
The moment they do, we make a careful rush for the hall over there."
He points into the rain-covered distance, where you can see the outlines of a massive building lie.
Riley, looking impatient, pulls out her pistol and checks the magazine. "Just get on with it. We already know the plan, idiot." Gerald merely sighs, "Just wanted to make sure we're all aboard with the plan..."
Zaweri: You pick up the seemingly useless shards of the knives of the gauntlet, then proceed to finally leave the broken robot to rust in the rain.
Inside the tool shed is a rope. The rest is just a whole bunch of rusty, broken paintcans.
Roki & Dave Jr. Brave as all hell, you head on over to the wreck.
The moment you get into ear's reach, you hear the bandits inside. They're talking about something generic, you bet.
You're outside the wreck, just beside a bridge into the wreck proper. The bridge leads into a room through a hole, where a firebarrel stands. Illuminating the room. There's a shadow in there, the shape of a human. It's unclear wether it's looking at the bridge, or at the barrel.
Greer & Graham: You decide to sneak into the still-burning village again, heading towards the medical shaman's hut. [7-2] It's close, but you manage to reach the hut, and close the door without being spotted.
There's a bunch of bodies in here, along with a bag of medical supplies. Seems like they tried to pack up and flee, but were then cut down. You're alone in the hut, but you hear the tower mutants outside, begining the looting properly.
With greer's knowledge, you know it's only a matter of minutes before they break down the door in search of loot.

Seriously though, the rain is also pretty damn loud. You might even be able to walk up the bridge unnoticed.
Sammy & Lucy: Gerald takes a deep breath, then proceeds to turn the baits on.
They start to loudly beep, and along with their blinking lights, they fan out over the plain that is golem bay. You hear how the nearby golems act right away, moving towards the baits.
"Alright, let's go! We'll wait up at the gate before going in- HEY! WAIT FOR ME RILEY!" Gerald scramble to keep up with the swift lizard mutant, into the tall grass.

You hear an explosion in the distance. Seems like one of the baits got hit.
As you run along, there's some sudden rustle in the grass, and something jolts up! [5] You're knocked on your back into the mud unharmed. In front of you is a grass and mud-covered humanoid robot, wielding a broken gun. #TERMI########INTRUDERS# It moans with a broken voicebox. It tries to shoot you, but the broken mess of a gun merely clicks. It then moves slowly towards you, looking to pound your head in.

"That... was something I didn't want to run into again..." carl whispers.
But in a moment, the golem is gone in the distance, chasing that object.

Graham & Greer: (Pulling Greer along automaticly) You carefully attempt to sneak out of the burning village. [10-2] You peek outside, and plan a careful move to some cover behind some rubble. From there, you carefully work your way towards the closest exit.
You even manage to avoid killing anyone, drawing no attention to yourselves.
However, once you reach the gate, and take cover behind some boxes on the side, you note that the warboss is standing at the gate, looking away from the village. Before you manage to move again however, a mutant emerge from the foilage beyond the gate, running towards the boss. "BOSS! BOSS!" The warboss grumbles, then responds disinterested "What it it?..." The mutant stops in front of the warboss, breathing heavily, trying to catch hi breath. "The... the tower! It's GONE!" The warboss is quick to grab the mutant by the throat, holding him up. "THE TOWER IS GONE?" Chokingly, the mutant struggles to force out words from the chokehold. "They... *guhg* Snuck in... and rigged the... 45th floor to blow... *guhg* they left a broken crawler... and a supmark truck..."
A moment pass, as the warlord stares into the distance, where the tower once lied. He then roars out in a bloodrage, and slams the mutant into the ground, killing him instantly. "FORM UP MAGGOTS! WE'RE CRUSHING THE SUPMARK VILLAGE NOW!!!"
There is little objection as the mutants, hauling whatever they could find, start to stream along towards the gate.
