One bump, and if no one bites, well I can take a hint.

Stagger into kitchen.
Retrieve painkillers.
Take painkillers.

Shoot Jessica. Rape Brian.

>>6912404
You do just that. Your head wasnt pounding, but it had that painful kind of pulse it can get.

Brian and Jessica are in the kitchen as well. Jessica mumbles and apology, while Brian just looks happy to be back at his home.

Ask Jessica what she knows of the situation locally/nationwide.

Ask what supplies she has in the house.

>>6912427
>Mumbles and apology

WE'RE ON A GREAT START HERE FOLKS.

>>6912461
Firefox needs a spelling&grammar checker like Word.

>>6912461
Let's ask what she knows about what's been going on lately.

>>6912460
"Well, I heard about the big report on the news about the space thing, but I didnt watch it, i'm feeling kinda stupid about that now. Around here the panic started in the cities and spread out into the towns. Here in Grantsvile though, cops kept the place together for a good while, it might still be ok, but it was starting to fall apart last I went to get groceries, and then those guys broke in and I decided to bunker down here. I heard on the radio that the East Coast is starting to calm down, but everything is still messed up, with contradicting messages, so I cant be sure."

Aside from the general things a medium sized country house would have (Tv, fridge, ect) The house has about 2 weeks worth a groceries for 2 people, a small portable tv/radio, Jessica's laptop, and propane tanks in the back yard from Brian's occasional attempts at grilling. ("Every time he nearly sets himself on fire, I dont know how but he does")

>>6912564
Well, I guess the thing to do now is decide whether we stay here with the two of them for awhile, go on alone, or attempt to convince them to go with us.

I vote we ask them to come with us to our parents.

damn, when was part 2?

>>6912601
Jessica seems to lean toward approval of the idea.
"If they're breaking into houses around here, it wont be safe here forever."
As glad as Brian was to get home, he wants to get Jessica to as safe a place as possible, so he agrees to the plan. (He'd be in more danger staying here than her, she's a full head taller than him and beat up a bunch of looters on her own)

>>6912658
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6838286/

>>6912564

Ask Brian how much of it will fit in the plane. If we can't take it all, order of importance:

food
laptop and charger (she has a charger, right?)
portable tv/radio.


I can't see a use for the propane, so I'd leave it there.

>>6912714

Agreed. Though make sure to take non-perishables as priority.

>>6912714
It might just be a single engine Cessna , but it should fit 3 people and a few backpacks worth of stuff.

With the addition of Jessica's food, and refilling the water bottles at the sink, you've now got about 2 and a half weeks worth of provisions for 3 people.

>>I can't see a use for the propane, so I'd leave it there.

You can burn it, blow it up, and if you do it right use it as poor quality fuel.

>>6912767

Ok. Pack everything into SUV. Roll up windows. Don't stop for anything. Brian drives us back to the airport. Can Jessica use a gun? If so, give her the handgun, tell her to be ready to use it if we're forced to stop. We'll have the shotgun ready.

>>6912848
Thats certainly a plan. Jessica went hunting with her father when she was younger, so while she might be skilled with a handgun, "I know which end goes bang" she says sarcastically.

Do you want to go straight to the airport, or do you want to check out Grantsville proper? There ARE a few stores there that would be worth checking out, a pharmacy and a gun store, Brian and Jessica confirm.

>>6912891
Head straight to the airport.

>>6912891
>so while she might be skilled with a handgun

might NOT be skilled with a handgun

Christ i'm bad at this.

>>6912891

Straight to airport.

>>6912907
Right. Screw those stores, its not worth the risk.

You begin packing all the stuff into the SUV, and plan to make for the airport as soon as possible.
(writing next segment)

Damn, and I just saw the thread with ideas on what to take from the house.

After double and triple checking everything, you're off!

You take the same backwoods path around Grantsville that you took on the way in.

Suddenly, you hear the loud and sharp 'CRACK's of a falling tree and a fairly large Fir slams across the road a few yards in front of you. forcing you to stop.

WHAT DO /tg/?

>>6913007
it's a fucking trap, get your gun out and cover likely hiding spots

>>6913007
Normally I'd say hit reverse, but if it's a trap they've accounted for that.

Is there a ditch? What's the environment near the road like.

LiIkely option is going to be having everyone get down, rip the rear view mirror off and use it to check for ambushers.

>>6913007
Fuck, there's no way we're getting that out of the way, is there? Back up, get to the airport through town.

>>6913015
You aim the shotgun at the tree line along both sides of the road, checking the entirety of it that you can see. You tell Brian and Jessica to do the same. The fir in front of the SUV looks healthy, it was most certainly cut down.

Suddenly, a man steps out from behind one of the trees along the road ahead of you.

>>6913068
shoot him dead, there's no way someone with legitimate motives would pull that shit

He's obviously not here to chat.

Get the jump on him and open fire. Aiming for the knees and arms rather than vital organs, he could do for extracting information later.

>>6913068
Pop the door and use it as a shield. Aim the shotgun at the man through the gap between the door and the SUV. Tell the other two to watch your back.

>>6913068
The man is fairly young, likely early thirties, and looks like he went a few rounds with a up and coming boxer, his face is a mishmash of multicolored healing bruises. He is currently holding a machete and pointing it at the car.

"YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE" he yells, angrily.

"Oh" says Jessica, almost sounding bored as she covers the back window, while looking over her shoulder. "Its this guy again"

>>6913068
Reverse and GTFO. Ignore the man, he is clearly a distraction.

>>6913135
protip: car doors don't stop bullets

>>6913142
See

>>6913126 and
>>6913122
You've been doing well, don't start railroading.

>>6913135
>>6913122
>>6913126
Rather than wait for him to pull some crazy shit, you open the door and half step out, using the door to shield yourself as you level the shotgun at him through the gap between the door and the car itself.

The man's eyes widen at the sight of armed resistance and pops back behind the trees.

Somewhere behind you, what sounds like a rifle goes off, and ricochets off the side of the car.

ACTIONS, /tg/?

>>6913177
There was a time gap in posts, I thought you guys wanted more info. My bad.

>>6913204
We didn't pull the trigger... why?

Well, no tree coming behind us, so jump back in and gun the SUV backwards. If they have a rifle, we're hopelessly outranged.

>>6913204
Drive. Get back in the car and find another way to the airport. Jessica can keep them suppressed with the pistol.

>>6913233
It's cool. Just wanted to make sure we didn't start down that path. Better in the future if you have some note about more to come, though.

>>6913251
He jumped back as you were aiming at him, I thought you'd like a "OH SHIT THEY GOT GUNS FUCK THIS" rather than a wasted shot.

You jump back into the SUV as another shot shatters the back window, thankfully no one is hit as Brian pulls a quick 3 point turn and begins to haul ass back up the road.

>>6913320
As a cop, I'd figure we'd at least be able to wing him. Guy sounds like a douche, a bit of peppering is more than in order.

Keep driving, ask about alternate route.

>>6913374

This.

inb4 alternate route is through the town.

>>6913320
Tip: You've ended the post in a way that doesn't leave much room for us to give suggestions on what to do. Either end it at a point where we have a decision to make, or give a "Writing next post" end.

>>6913293
>>6913374
You try to stay calm while you ask Jessica if theres another way back to the highway while you scan the trees trying to spot the (not so) sharp shooter.

"Just keep going up this road past the house, it takes longer but Brian knows the way."

Another shot rings out, shattering the drivers side window. Jessica yells in shock while Brian grunts and flinches away from the glass.

>>6913389
You're right, I keep doing this, damnit. I keep thinking you guys dont need obvious lead ons. "Would that be too easy and patronizing?"

(continuing, hang on)

>>6913472
>Would that be too easy and patronizing?

This is /tg/. We're used to it.

As you keep driving at a near break neck pace through the woods you eventually come to a break in the trees and come out in a small field off of the highway you wanted to get too.

As you reach the road proper, the SUV slows to a halt.

Brian is clutching his arm, and its bleeding.

>>6913445
Instead of making several posts detailing what happens without choices to be made, take the time and make larger posts, so that every post from you opens the door for players to add input.

>>6913539
Shit. Was first aide part of police training? Bandage him.

>>6913472

I don't need lead ons. But when the only real option is "keep driving" then there's not much for me to say.

It's cool, it's probably my biggest problem when doing quests myself. My solution is to reread anything I post and make sure that there IS something for the players to decide on.

Apply pressure. Is it a bullet or just glass?

>>6913572
It should be. Patch him up as best we're able while his wife keeps an eye out with the shotgun.

holy shit, bill murray? no one will ever believe me...

yell at jessica to tourniquet brians arm. continue driving.

>>6913612
You wanna have her try to bandage him from the back seat while he continues driving?

oh fuck me, i thought i was driving.

re-reading thread so as not to dumbass myself again.

>>6913572
You only really know how to bandage, and if needed you COULD stitch, you'd need to be careful about it, and Brian's house didnt have any major first aid.

"Brian? BRIAN? OH GOD."
Jessica pulls out a bottle of rubbing alcohol from one of the backpacks, its basically all they really had.

"This can sterilize it, right?"

Its clear Jessica doesn't have much First aid training either. You can keep going, check buildings along the way, or do what you can now

"Bastards shot my flying arm" Brian tried to joke.

>>6913637
Jessica drives. We patch up Brian with police training in the backseat. Brian gives directions as needed.

>>6913612

Don't use a tourniquet, just apply pressure to the damn wound.

>>6913592
Its a bullet wound, but it looks like it had a clean entry and exit. The bullet hit the dashboard during the chaos and no one noticed until now.

>>6913655

Ah shit. Now we need to find a doctor. Maybe we shouldn't have tried to shoot at those guys, eh?

So it looks like we're going to town. Hopefully there's still an operating hospital.

>>6913655
Try to see if it's a bullet wound or just a shard of glass. Apply pressure to the wound. Keep going.

>>6913682
They probably would have shot us anyway.

>>6913693
Blah, too slow.

>>6913681
So the bullet went through his arm completely? I'm not sure if that good or bad, but at least we don't have to pull the bullet out.

>>6913673
>>6913665
While you do what you can to stop the bleeding, Jessica climbs into the front seat and starts driving up the Highway to the airport.

After a few minutes of applying pressure and trying to keep everyone calm while you try to see if Brian is losing too much blood, Jessica says "Hey, I just saw a sign for a rest stop ahead, should we stop, or keep going?"

>>6913682
"That guy was one of the dudes who broke into the house a few days ago. I'd doubt if they collectively had the IQ needed to be a janitor at a hospital."

>>6913733
Depends, does anyone need to use the bathroom? Do we?

keep going.

>>6913733

It depends. Is Brian bleeding out? If he is, we should probably stop. There might be medical supplies or something at the rest stop.

hmm... okay, lets pull through the rest stop. if it doesn't look too fishy or jammed up, then we can stop and take a closer look at brian's wound.

no screw that, there wont be medical supplies, and there wont be much i can do for him if this is a serious wound. continue to apply pressure and instruct jessica to continue driving.

>>6913788
>>6913779
>>6913768
You'd perfer to keep going and get out of this crazy ass state as soon as possible, but the bleeding hasnt stopped, so you tell Jessica to go for it.

A few more frantic minutes later, the SUV pulls into the parking lot of the rest stop, containing a local hamburger restaurant chain, a gas station, a garage, and a smaller plain pale blue building with the men's room/women's room symbols on it, all in the style of a strip mall.

are there a lot of cars here? lots of people?

>>6913846
So no pharmacy? Okay, does the place look banged up/looted? Or just abandoned? Or is it still operating normally?

If we can, lets get something to bandage the wound.

>>6913864
(Damnit I knew I forgot something)
While there are some cars in the parking lot, the place generally seems abandoned. The windows on the burger joint are smashed in and the gas station has the familiar "NO GAS" sign posted on the front.

gas station would be the best place to get anything we'll need, so park near there.

waiting for further description of rest stop, i.e. - is it crowded/abandoned, etc.

>>6913846
Well, burger chain should have a first aid kit for its employees. Gas station might have -some- medical supplies. Garage could have useful tools, but is probably the least useful right now.

If the gas station has any wine bottles right now, we could empty them out and fill them up with gas for Molotov cocktails.

"no gas" sign, so no wont bother with molotovs. just go and get first aid kits and bottled waters. see to brians wound. how much gas are we running on anyway?

>>6913898

Good idea, anon. Most food places have a first aid kit somewhere, in case someone cuts themselves. I vote we search for such a first aid kit.

>>6913846
Let's check the gas station first. Hopefully there will be an emergency kit inside; if not we can check the restaurant for same.

After we pull up, have Jessica stay at the vehicle and mind Brian while we go in, weapon at the ready. I'm thinking taser, since we don't know if anyone we randomly run into merits a shotgun blast.

>>6913873
>>6913898
The burger joint is thoroughly trashed inside and out, but there is a first aid kit. You run into the Gas station and check there as well. While it might not have gas, you manage to find a bottle of pain killers.

Keep checking?

dont risk the burger chain for a first aid kit, gas stations almost always have gauze, sewing kits, anything, and it's all portable shit too. they are like tiny walmarts.

>>6913940
Shotgun =/= solution? Damn.

>>6913926
You're running at about 3/4s, gas wise. You have plenty to get to the air port.

>>6913951
Yes, see about additional medical supplies from gas station.

See if the garage has a pipe for getting gas from the other cars. Doesn't hurt to be full up.

>>6913951

I'm thinking that's good. Hopefully the kit comes with directions or something.

>>6913951
Get back to the car

>>6913951
If no one's stopped us yet, odds are that we're the only ones here; there's no reason not to thoroughly loot for usable supplies. Get the medical bits to Brian, treat him, and then return for further investigation.

>>6913984
You go back to Brian with what you've gotten. You pass him some of the painkillers and tell him to find something to bite down on something as you find what you need to stitch that wound shut. It takes FAR longer than a trained paramedic would take (The fact that Jessica was hovering over Brain fretting wasnt helping), but you manage to pull it off.

So, now that thats over and done with, do you want to keep checking the strip mall/rest stop or do you want to keep going?

>>6914045

To the airport. Posthaste.

>>6914045
If no one's come out to mess with us yet, I see no reason not to do a somewhat more thorough search. We've already risked stopping here; we might as well do it right. Search the whole place, including stopped cars.

See if we can get a siphon for gas, by the way. Even if we don't need one right now, it could be handy to have later.

Oh boy, a pilot having taken painkillers and in pain.

This'll be a fun flight.

>>6914045
To the aerodrome!

>>6913995
>>6914059
>>6914073
While you dont want to stay any longer than you need too, the fact that the place is abandoned leaves up an opportunity thats too tempting to ignore. You check the Garage, looking for anything particularly useful.

You do manage to find a gas siphon, and in the the back room you ffffFFFFFFFFFFFUCK THERES A DEAD BODY IN HERE.

After getting over your initial surprise (and the smell), you notice that the body is a few days old

>>6914124
Search the body.

>>6914124
Check method of death. Unfortunately there's not much that we can do about it aside from that, with authority missing; we'll have to continue our rapid looting and depart without disturbing the body.

>>6914081
You're smart enough to wait until Brian isnt woozy anymore. Logic may have abandoned the rest of the country, BUT YOU STAND TALL.

>>6914147
>Logic may have abandoned the rest of the country, BUT YOU STAND TALL.

This made me laugh. Find out what killed the dude, them if there's nothing more, get back to the car.

>>6914138
>>6914140
It seems that the cause of death was excessive blunt trauma to the back of the head, probably from one of the tools a garage like this would have lying around. Unlike the security guard in LAX, there is nothing you can do for him (A search shows he didnt have a wallet, or anything in his pockets, he may have been killed for his belongings)

You decide that its best to get out of there.

Siphon gas or get going now?

>>6914194
Leave.

>>6914194
Get going. The gas siphon is for the next time we have to acquire a new vehicle and move gas into it- probably in an airport elsewhere.

leave now.

>>6914162
>This made me laugh.
I aim to entertain. It's half the reason I started this.
>>6914227
>>6914235
With Jessica still at the wheel, you make you're way down to the air port. Its some distance away, and Brian slips in out of consciousness, more from the pain killers than the blood loss. When you arrive, its a different scene than the one you left.

There seems to be MORE wreckage in the parking lot, and some of the cars that were in one piece are still burning! You dont see anyone though.

ACTIONS /tg/?

>>6914286
Fat chance the plane is still there, or at least in one piece.

PRESS ONWARD CAUTIOUSLY

>>6914286
Let's drive to the hangar if we can.

>>6914286
We need to be cautious. Stop some distance away, and observe the situation for movement. Give it a few minutes.

maybe the plane is in a hangar or something...? I hope so.

>>6914298

Give up a plane without at least looking? ARE YOU MAD!?

>>6914335
Uh?

What do you think press onward means?

>>6914298
>>6914312
You have Jessica stop the SUV, and you wait. The isnt any movement from the windows out front, and its likely that you could have been seen as you made your way up the highway here. If theres someone there, they're being as cautious as you. The wreckage seems to be contained to the parking lot only, the building itself in still relatively untouched.
>>6914309
You COULD drive to the hanger from here, if you wanted to.

>>6914376
I like the driving idea. Let's get to the hangar ASAP.

yeah, drive slowly to hangar, keep eyes open, tell jessica and brian to do the same.

>>6914376
Okay. Drive to the hangar, keeping weapons at ready.

>>6914397
>>6914398
You have Jessica move across the parking lot, swerving between abandoned cars and burning wrecks as you make you're way to the hanger. With that done you pull the hanger doors open enough for the SUV to get inside then pull them shut behind you.

>>6914450
Is plane okay? How is Brian?

>>6914465
...and is anyone else inside?

>>6914465
Brian is still rather woozy, but the plane is fine. The slur has bleed through the paint though.
"...Its NOT a boat, Imma find some SOLVENT" Brian mumbles to himself as he searches the hanger for a way to clean his plane.

Whats next /tg/? Load the plane while you wait for Brian to clear his head? Stand watch? Search the hanger yourself?

>>6914473
It's still just you three, hanger is abandoned.

>>6914506
Don't let a man who has possibly suffered from shock, lost blood, and taken pain pills get around paint thinner.

>>6914506

Load plane, have jess wife hold/whatch brian, and turn off all lights. NO ONE MUST KNOW WE'RE HERE!

>>6914524
I second this.

Tell Jes to start moving supplies, do a clean sweep of the building, checking corners AND THE INSIDE OF THE PLANE, then start to help.

Tell Brian to take it easy, maybe give him coffee or a rockstar or something, uppers to counter the downers.

>>6914524
Jessica is already on that, it's amusing to see someone like Jessica fret or dote over anyone. ("Where are you going? Lie down damnit, YOU GOT SHOT!"), still, you'd never tell her that to her face.

>>6914548
This, I think. Jessica can keep watch and look at the sick person while we load everything into the plane. Make sure that our guns are close to hand at all times, though.

>>6914574
DUDE.
>>6914573
WE SWEEP THE GODDAMNED BUILDING, INCLUDING THE PLANE.

>>6914573

>uppers to counter the downers.

YOU NEVER DO THAT! HEALTH 101. NEVER TRY TO COUNTER A DRUG WITH ANOTHER DRUG!

>>6914574
Heh.

Well, let's us try to find some solvent or pain to paint over the graffiti.

>>6914574

Ask Jessica and Brian to begin loading the plane. We'll stand guard. Pray to God Brian sobers up quickly.

>>6914548
>>6914573
You look for a way to get Brian back to 100% in a more timely manner while loading the plane back up. Unfortunately, all you manage to find in the hanger is some warm soda.

Still, its better than nothing.

Once thats done with, you start turning off lights, so as to not attract attention while you wait.

Should probably stay the night in the hangar. Let Brian get some sleep.

>>6914617

>warm soda

Yummm. Nothing better on a warm day.

Also with the lights off it's hard to move around. We still have sunlight. Up just enough so that we can see, but is hard to see from the outside. One from each sides corner should do.

yes, i am not trusting brian to fly a plain on pain killers. no way. we're gonna have to camp out for at least 6 hours.

>>6914638

Forgot *windows*.

Also how many pills did we give him? I really hope we used one or two. Or what the directions suggested.

>>6914622
Is there any way to lock or otherwise seal the hangar entrances? I'd rather not stay the night in an unsecured building.

we passed him "some" pain killers. Seriously, let him sleep it off. 6 hours. I can take first watch since i can sleep on the plane.

>>6914614
>>6914622
>>6914641
You stand guard until the next morning, switching shifts with Jessica while Brian tries to sleep off the painkillers, blood loss, and general shock.
"You know, if he ran into the guy who shot him, he probably wouldnt even be mad. He's too nice" remakes Jessica.

Brian remarks that he feels good enough to fly. He slept a good eight hours, so its good to see him bouncing back.

Fly now? Search the hanger again?

>>6914695
Fly away!

one last search of hanger with a revitalized pilot. have jessica load up. check outside to make sure the runway is still clear and free of any bystanders.

>>6914690

BETTER IDEA!

We let him sleep while we(yes WE!) stand guard. When he sobers up he can fly us at night while we sleep. GOODBYE HELLHOLE!

Also pass suggestions to jessica. We need here ideas as well.

>>6914695
Before going flying, check to make sure that the runway is clear. We might have to move cars or do something similarly inconvenient.

Make sure that Brian's wound is clean. Change the bandages, disinfect again if necessary. We cannot afford an infection.

>>6914740

This. It's well thought out. I like it.

>>6914720
>>6914740

>>6914709
>>6914720
>>6914740
First, you check Brian's bandages, they seem clean, but you admittedly aren't a doctor. Brian says that aside from the pain they feel fine. "I've always heard that an infection starts out with an itchy feeling, and well, I don't have that, so we should be good!"

One last sweep gives you the solvent Brian was looking for, and after a few minutes of proper application, the plane is slurless once more.

Jessica confirms that the runway is indeed clear.

Brian gassed up the plane when you landed last time.

Are you ready to go now, or do you have anything else?

>>6914796
Let's blow this joint.

I am so tempted to snoop the rest of the building for food/medical supplies/ammo.

Is there really any urgency to leave? (i didn't catch the initial thread.)

>>6914796
Leave. And pray rifle guy for earlier dosen't take pot shots at the plane.

>>6914827
It is my current impression that we looted this place before and did not find much of worth. If that is incorrect, it might indeed be worth an additional search.

>>6914815
After a few minutes the plane is moving on the runway and picking up speed. With one last look back, Brian pulls up and turns towards the east.

OK THEN YOU GUYS. GOTTA STOP IT HERE.

Glad to see people are still interested. Again: Be brutally honest here when you tell me if I suck or not, it's the only way I'll learn.

fffffuuuuuu-

great fun OP. Im a bit lost though as I missed the first thread.

>>6914893
First: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6822200/
Second http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6838286/

>>6914796
Check to make sure it is still gassed up.

>>6914874

I liked it. It's fun and you're taking advice from others. These is the signs of a good DM and I urge you to continue. Just listen to others, write/plan ahead of time, and try to be a little more self confident. The fact I see no saging is a sign you're good.

Just don't fall to pride and all that.

>>6914874
You're alright.

To be honest, you need to throw more obstacles our way. Without resorting to outright GM dickery, there should almost always be -something- that can fuck us over, or just fucked us over that we need to mitigate the damage from.

was fun. needed more dakka.

I will await this thread's return.

>>6914874
ANy idea when we can expect part 4?

>>6914946
>you need to throw more obstacles our way
I actually like the way that one is never quite sure if any given location has an encounter there or not. It makes things have a little bit of low-level tension at all times. That said, upping things from "easy" to "medium" might be in order.

>>6914963
Got work at inconvenient times from Sunday to Wednesday. OH JOY OF JOYS YOU GUYS. Possibly Thursday, same bat time, same bat channel

>>6914978
I never said it had to be an encounter. There's all sorts of things outside the realm of basic combat encounter that can cause us trouble.

For instance, a vandalized plane. Landmines/explosive ambush on the runway. The plane lacking fuel since I don't think we ever refuelled it. That's just a few things for a specific area and focus, there are hundreds more possible.

>>6915004
Meh, work means pay, gotta keep a table under the bread, right?
