The guide takes us to the southwestern rookie village. It is quiet apart from the rain and occasional chuckle from the rookies. The faction Freedom seems to have a small group of eight men here, Recruiting and training rookies. The trader is set up in a abandoned military truck under a covered military tent, Two rookies are exchanging information
We have learned
Rumor:The Scorpion.
The Scorpion is a stalker from 2008-2009 who has supposedly become one with the zone itself, And can coax the zone into creating artifacts for him to harvest. He is recognizable by his personal logo, Which is tattooed on his arm, And occasionally worn on his suits.
A scorpion in striking position.
We have learned important info:
A blowout will hit sometime today.

Where does the guide recommend?

Awww shit

Dont go out alone then without people who know the Zone!

>>21045320
Hmm. Well we need to find a place we can operate out of for now and some weapons of our own when the guide leaves. Guess we maybe should see if we can find a small group of bandits to hit.

>>21045387
Just saying this guy is severely realistic in his combat.
One bullet in the wrong place will wipe us out.

>>21045360
>yfw he might appear.
>>21045387
>>21045387
Asking around with some of the more experienced rookies may provide something.

We will also need some money.

I assume this is a whole new quest, and not a continuation of an 'old' quest.
I don't think a person's first idea when they come into the Zone would be 'Gonna kill me some outla's!'

Also, we should get some of those anti-blowout pills, become Zone-touched.

>>21045414
We're the only two females in the entire zone. Katrina has shit stats and no weapons, we should leave her behind to suck dicks for dosh while we go hit a bandit outpost to get some guns and maybe some artifacts.

>>21045414
Hm. Any jobs available in the camp then from the trader or something?

Daeden seems innocent minded enough to be trustworthy, But he has not seen the horrors of the zone, And those can change anyone.

Some of the freedom recruits seem trustable, But they have already signed over their allegiance.
We could always spend some time trying to get to know some of the rookies? What type of rookies should we focus on.
Young or older?
More or less experienced looking?
This may also serve to get us more intel about the area, and zone in general, along with possible outside news we may not have heard about during our time in the tunnels.

A shrill shriek rings out, Followed by a explosion in the far side of the camp, A loud pained screaming becomes apparent, Gunfire begins ringing out, And a Mi-24 makes a strafing run with it's rockets on a group of buildings. the trader starts packing up to leave, But a mortar shell impacts his little tarp area directly, and he is reduced to bits flung all over the surrounding area, His wares destroyed and burning.

The military has utterly slaughtered the rookie camp. And the fire of the bodies being burned can be seen for kilometers. No more rookies will enter this area of the zone for D20 days.

The Rookie village has been converted into a Military Outpost.

>>21047037
Welp. If that's all we're stuck with, we're probably better off hitting the barn after attempting to fix up that one gun we got. Assuming we even can. I imagine the storage tower will have a bandit in a position to see anyone approaching.

>>21047037
Better check out the faction, since they're probably looking for crew. We'll take what we can get from them or maybe do an odd job and be a little better off. Then we'll play cops and robbers with some bandits and get some real capitol.

If this turns hostile the faction inside will have the following
Spotting radius 400m all directions
Engagement radius 200-400m depending on side
We have a spotting radius of roughly 300m.

A section of rail is warped inward as another slug round hits it, and sparks and ricosheting fragments ping off them from pistol rounds, Daeden is screaming loud enough to drown out the gunfire and blood is pouring out of his lost arm.

Just wanted to pop in to say the only reason you don't see women in the zone so much is because it fucks up their ovaries and makes 'em have monster babies instead of normal ones.

Katrina managed to grab Daeden's Toz 34 before fleeing. It has a slug round and a buckshot round loaded.

Rolled 45

>>21049064
Well ok then, With the Red Wasps lets go bandit hunting!

>>21049091
They have no ammunition for our 'Gimicy ancient pistol' The TT-33, However they do have some loose 12 gauge shells they will let us have. giving us 3 birdshot, 17 buckshot and 4 slug rounds.

The wasps take the lead and move to the ambush site tactically. The bandits have left. Daeden's corpse has been stripped down to the boxers, and photos from his wallet drift about in the breeze, His right leg is in a post mortem twitch and his lower jaw and neck are all that remain of his head, They cut off the finger on his severed arm to get his class ring.

Rolled 41

>>21049120
Well let the Red Wasp take the lead, and try not to get killed.

Dealing with the bandits now is fine, but we need a long term plan if we plan on living in the zone. As political prisoners we aren't leaving the zone for years and we need a home. I say that we shack up with some permanent group in the zone, like Freedom or Duty.

>>21049138
The red wasp stalkers continue on, tracking the bandits by their prints in the mud and soil, And lead us to a small bandit camp at a old water tower on the line. There are eight bandits, and they have a tarp strung up around the bottom of the tower to hide something. two of the bandits have shotguns, four have pistols, and two have Akm or Ak-74 rifles.
One of the ones with a Ak patern rifle heads inside the tarped area, and a woman crying and screaming becomes apparent.
"Ich werde die Bastarde Mord." One of the red wasps states in German, flipping the safety off on his RPK-74 and racking the charging handle back.
"You'll get your chance mate."-Australian Red wasp.

>>21049190
so it's a choice between raccoon zone mesa or rapture hill city?
or whatever the fuck hinamazawa is?
I would say h-whatever, but that sounds japanese. And japanese horror doesn't fuck around.
raccoon zone mesa it is then.

>>21045966
here.

Turns out the sale ended yesterday. You kind anons don't happen to have a spare STALKER key, do you?

Sage for my useless bullshit not contributing.

Seeing what happened to our friend, we should get some body armor sometime soon. Even if we have to make it out of old scrap like pic related

>>21049283
Unfortunately that wouldn't work on any true threats, and it'd be too heavy to be worth the limited protection it does provide. Infact the plates may even make modern rounds have worse effects, Because they may fail to penetrate out the backside after entering and then ricoshet back into the body, Causing even further trauma.

>>21049283
is that civil war-era or is it revolutionary war
Because I now have an image in my mind of George Washington wearing that in the middle of a field, laughing and yelling "Take it, bitch!" while bullets ping off his armor.

>>21049216
Load up some buckshot. Tell them we're ready when they are.

>>21049313
I am very glad that you, the quest runner, know your shit. My intent is that we jury-rig some armor in the fashion of epoxy impregnated denim layered tightly or layered ceramic tile wrapped in duct tape.

Rolled 93

>>21049369
Rolling for enemy.
Roll D100 for our party's role in the combat.

The wasps open fire, Quickly falling one of the bandits as three rounds tear through his chest, another one is simply blown into two pieces along the length of his spine by hydrostatic shock as the KSVK operator blasts him in the chest.
>>21049395
A mix of the two ideas would be best. Epoxy impregnated denim wrapped around small layered ceramic tiles, Perhaps with plaster inside to hold them in place(Mythbusters did something similar)

Rolled 75

welp lets do this!

Rolled 72

I think... we're lucky they rolled so high

(rerolling if allowed)

>>21049511
HAH!

>>21049463
The bandits are overwhelmed and surprised, being shot to pieces without even getting a round off.
>>21049503
Katja blows off a bandit's nuts a second before he is rippled with 5.56 rounds from a Wasp's m4a1.

The wasps and twins advance, and discover a woman naked and strung up from support beams under the tower. She's obviously been heavily abused and her face is scarred.

>>21049463
I actually have experimented with bulletproofing materials. (/k/ here) I have found that ceramic tiles work best against rifle rounds and high powered pistol rounds. Epoxy impregnated fabrics on their own work best against pistol rounds. Also this being russia, the cheapest body armor that would actually be viable is the SN-42 steel bib.
Also, the TT-33 we are using is chambered in 7.62x25 tokarev correct? The properties of the tokarev cartrdige make it a good armor penetrating round when fired out of a long (smg length) barrel.

>>21049575
Name, reason for being in the Zone, and how she got captured by the bandits if she's ready to talk about it.

>>21049575
Twins gotta rescue her! The band grows by one.

Rolled 31

>>21049586
I'm actually a materials scientist, I did a pretty large report on body armor materials back in my undergrad.
As far as I can tell this is mostly correct, but remember that you get blunt force trauma even if the bullet is stopped, which is normally enough to take you out of combat.

Lets cut her done and play nurse to the medic. Maybe we can learn some things.

Also ask if we can have any of the bandits supplies; obviously this was mostly the Wasp's kill but the nutshot had to earn something hah.

>>21049586
what about steel mesh and impregnated fabrics, would that provide any benefit?

>>21049627
That depends on the situation, Adrenaline, etc.
I've had mil friends take full-force impacts to the center plate and not even realize it until the bruise develops later or they investigate the vest.
I've also heard of such a impact simply stopping a beating heart even though the round was fully stopped.
>>21049586
We are in the Ukraine, Not russia. And we'd probably get laughed at for wearing that.
>>21049608
She seems to be too detached from reality to tell us anything.

Rolled 50

>>21049658
>I've had mil friends take full-force impacts to the center plate and not even realize it until the bruise develops later or they investigate the vest.
That is pretty interesting, do you happen to know what caliber? (sorry if I'm being too specific)

Rolled 32

>>21049658
>And we'd probably get laughed at for wearing that.
Worth it if it saves our life.

>>21049658
Well, we can just keep her with us until she wakes up. Or feed her to some blind dogs. Either is good.

We need to stay close to these Wasps or we'll just get ambushed again. Are they going anywhere near the Bar? (Do we know about the Bar?)

>>21049693
Not sure. The one I've talked to in detail about the experience said the round in the plate looked like a 7.62.
>>21049707
True.


A wasp puts his boot on one of the wounded bandits and executes him by stabbing him through the throat, finishing him off.

We are given a Akm rifle and a ukranian made fort 12 pistol in 9x18mm for our part of the loot, aswell as ammo and a messenger bag. How shall we distribute our gear?

The medic has begun treating the woman. Although she seems to be putting up a fight to being helped.

Rolled 6

>>21049750
Give the Akm to the sister who is the better shot, other one gets the shotgun. Give each of them a pistol.

>>21049792
Katja is the better shot and has the strength to better hold a rifle.

Which pistol shall we give to who?

>>21049750
Have our sister help her, she has a medkit and was trained somewhat by the medic.
She's in the better psychological position.
Speak of how these stalkers helped up twice now.

Rolled 37

>>21049807
what do we have right now, I'm haveing difficulty figuring it out

>>21049693
Probably 7.62...he's hardly the only one who's had it happen.

Duct-tape a thick plywood board to your chest with some cloth padding behind it, run around the block a few times and have a friend whack it with a bat. Not the most noticeable thing when you're busy.

>>21049750
Katja can take the pistol, Katrina can take the rifle.
If I'm right this means:
Katja: Shotgun, 9x18
Katrina: Akm, TT-93
Sound good?
Can we help the medic with the woman?

Rolled 49

>>21049828
I might have been remembering it wrong then, what I was describing might only apply to soft armors.

Rolled 88

>>21049863
I think Katja should hold the rifle, she has higher strength and can probably handle the recoil better.

>>21049863
You seem to have Katja and Katrina mixed up. Katja is the stronger one, and already has the TT-33.

The medic thanks us for the help, but most of her physical trauma has already scarred, and it seems to be emotional trauma. They appear to have forcefed her to keep her alive.
A group of three beginner stalkers coming from the other direction has joined the scene. They have on olive drab and blue stalker suits, light vests and are carrying a shotgun, a mp5 and a l85a2.

Rolled 41

>>21049937
Are they far away and possibly hostile? If so we should make them announce their intentions, show that we have a large group of heavily armed people.
If they're already here with us then talk to them I guess.

>>21049966
They joined the group and are conversing with the wasps
One of the stalkers is checking out katja's rear.
"These women..they yours? Kevorich could use a piece of ass like that."

press the shotgun against his nuts and ask him to say that again.

Rolled 87

>>21050027
probably shouldn't press the shotgun against the nuts of an armed man with friends

Did the bandits have any explosives on them? If not, look around for some.

>>21050027
>>21050071
This might be a bad idea, besides which. The German red wasp seems to be handling it.

...Very vulgarly, aswell, If our limited knowledge of German swear words is anything to go by.

>>21050079
The bandits have some pipebombs on them which appear to be made using makeshift materials and are not stable.
One is set in a clear mason jar full of marbles and nails and sealed in.

>>21050120
yeah, leave those bombs behind

>>21050120
Huh. When their explosive turned those rail tracks into a pretzel I was expecting plastique, not pipe bombs

>>21050303
Shall we head on to kevorich and leave the bodies for the mutants?
The wasps have a stretcher to carry the woman.

>>21050305
Home made explosives can be quite powerful. And maybe one of them was a TM 31-210 kid.

I suggest we burn the bodies.

>>21050403
yeah, second that
but only if we can do it quickly

>>21050363
Ask if anyone has knowledge sufficient to disassemble one safely. While crude, these fuckers made some powerful stuff.

We should also consider turning our birdshot into slugs using wax. Make it actually usable for social work. Will require more frequent cleaning to prevent excessive fouling.

>>21050424
this will take a hour to do, and seems pointless to the wasps, Who prefer to leave them to rot and be eaten.

>>21050434
Waxslug! +5 to any attempt at this.

However, No one around is capable of disassembling the pipe bombs, as they are obviously only known by the maker, who is most likely dead now.

A red wasp has given us 10,000 rubles from the looted bandits, He seems to think they were one of Kevorich's recruiting parties.

>>21050484
Leave the pipebombs if no one here knows about them. We should try to find military training manuals to help us learn useful things.

Alright lets leave the bodies then. Lets head to a safe place with a trader. We have money to spend and armor to get if possible. We're waaay to fragile.

>>21050521
Welcome to normal regular old humanity.

The wasps lead us on to kevorich and start treating the woman more professionally at the clinic there, Many stalkers look at Katja and Katrina as they arrive, and the trader can be seen eating what must be one of the greasiest hamburgers in existence, as it can be seen dripping even from here with every bite.

>>21050484
Oh, and burn the bodies. No need to be encouraging mutant population growth near our new home.

>>21050484
In my experience wax slugs when used with cut shells are very devistating at close range.

>>21050586
still haven't seen ballistic gelatine tests with them.

>>21050586
All the hitting power of a slug with the staying power of pellts.

>>21050541
It's too late to do that as we have already left.

After we have a few spent hulls we should reload them with random shit.

>>21050719
/k/, What are you doing in my quest?
But no seriously, We aren't poor enough to have to resort to THAT.. Yet..I hope.

>>21050685
Oh, and we had ought to work on getting those makarovs that we have functional. We might need springs. Any sort of oil would be sufficient, but hopefully something inorganic and non-volatile.

>stalker quest
FUCK YES IT'S FINALLY HAPPENIN
>it's not stalk out of here getter

>>21050763
That will probably only get us one working, with having to cannibalize parts from the other one. but it will still make three pistols between two people.

A loud commotion has begun to coincide with another Arena fight, One of the fighters has a machete, the other a fire axe. Clearly they are shouting out bets and cheering their preferential fighter on.

>>21050743
Just enjoying the ride.
I also have the plans to a miniature explosive powered EMP generator if you're interested.

>>21050849
Some sort of recreation outside of the killing might be good for us. Check to see if the trader has any books for sale.

>>21051411
Will answer at the start of the next thread.
As it's gone too inactive and I am too tired to continue.
