Nice to see ya back Axsisel!

>The adventure so far:

You are Dillinger Rast, you came from the American mainland to the Hawaiian wasteland in the search of a better life.

You were kidnapped en route and almost sold to slavery. The plane that carried you was destroyed by the Enclave and you fell onto the radioactive emerald colored Pacific Ocean. Luckily for you before any mutant shark or underwater abomination could devour you a man named Saltgut and its crew rescued you with their fishing tugboat. You travelled with them for a while and ended creating really strong bonds with them all. After reaching the island of Oahu and the island's biggest city Honolulu you departed them to explore these new and vibrant wastes on your own.

You then met Asuka and her group. Her team and her took the city's orphans under her wing and attempted to give them a better future. She explained to you how Oahu is controlled by the post-War nation of Ohana and how the Enclave has infiltrated the country's upper echelons and established an iron fist fascists dictatorship dominated by draconian laws were anyone slightly mutated is considered a second class citizen and denied most rights. She urged you to help her find an underwater treasure to be able to flee the island and search a better future. You helped her and managed to obtain a Power-armor for yourself, a couple of weapons and even made a Super-Mutant ally on the way. With everything ready you once more descended onto the bottom of the sea and discovered an incredible cache of treasures, you then managed to deliver them to the surface just to discover that several Pirates, the Sons of Kanaloa and even the Brotherhood of Steel had managed to intercept your radio comms and pinpoint your location.

>>3679439

With the help of the Brotherhood of Steel you managed to fend of the pirate ships and Kanaloa drones and where then forced to travel with them to the PMV Valdez, the massive ship that they used to reach Hawaii from California. The BoS then offered a deal: Keeping part of the treasures, receiving protection and the chance for the non mutated kids of joining the BoS and regular deliveries of caps, resources and food in exchange of returning to Oahu to build a settlement to spy on the Enclave and siding with the BoS in any armed conflict that might arise. Unable to think of any better alternative the deal was ultimately accepted and you were sent to the place known as the Rustfields to build a thriving settlement.

After reaching the place with your own Ms.Nanny, Asuka and the Super-Mutant Duke you three started to explore around to see if there were any radiation pockets or enemies around. While exploring on your own you found a hatch on the floor surrounded by four strange pylons. You started to descend but your ladder broke down and made you free fall onto a dark and dilapidated laboratory. Thanks to your power-armor you managed to survive the fall but now you are trapped in a secret underground laboratory, this place is eerily empty and mostly devoid of electricity, furniture and people. You explored around and discovered that before the great-War several scientists worked here to create genetically modified creatures to be used against China. One of these creatures is the Eye-reaver, a parasitic monster designed to infect people and destroy their eyes and cause widespread terror. The great-War stopped them from being delivered but they somehow managed to survive for more than two hundred years and are now roaming and infecting molerats. You have to stop them before they can escape and spread around. A nasty molerat found you and came running towards your location, only a few feet before reaching you from its face two Eye-reavers popped out and started attacking you. It is now time to defend yourself!

You close your fists and charge your Tesla gauntlets making them hum and buzz loudly as a corona of cracking energy surrounds their copper circuitry and they start to spew vivid and wild sparks from their coils.

Their light is even brighter than your flashlight and the Ms.Nanny's jet flame, it emanates enough lumens to illuminate everything around you.

With them glowing white hot you grab the first Eye-reaver and crush it under your palm, all the stored energy instantly releasing and scorching the mutant critter in an second as it sends several electric arcs all around. You throw the flaming and foul smelling remains and quickly grab the other one, the mechanical servomotors of your Power armor whirring from your quick and sudden movements. You burn this one slowly, liberating the electricity in a steady stream of painful yet nonlethal volts.

The eye attempts to escape your grip, then as it starts to boil and melt alive its bucking and trashing becomes wilder, if it weren’t for your piston powered musculature it would have managed to release itself. Smoke and bubbles start to form on its eye and skin as it boils and then with a loud screech it suddenly stops moving and finally perishes.

Slowly, the light of your gauntlets dies off, leaving you once more in a near total darkness.

With a powerful stomp you extinguish the fire from the burning Eye-reaver and stop if from emanating more rancid smelling smoke. You then clean the palm of your mechanical hands on the wall and leave a nasty streak of blood and mutant guts on the dust filled concrete.

Only the corpse of the Molerat host remains, you crouch and inspect it closely. It is rotten, at least a couple of months old, it doesn’t makes any sense, Eye-reavers are supposed to attach to live hosts and then leave. You carefully grab its skull and hear some sloshing sound coming from its interior. Using the butt of your Laser Pistol you break it open and turn it upside down to pour whatever is inside onto the floor. You expected something resembling a rotten brain and putrid grey matter but instead a dense yellowish liquid came out, its gel like interior filled with six golf sized transparent balls.

You grab one of the balls and get it close to your helmet to inspect it. Looking it upclose you notice that it's not a ball, its an egg. There is a small squirming worm coiling inside, it has a shiny transparent skin and its small organs and long, thin and black veins are clearly visible. When you get it close to your flashlight it starts to agitate and buckle, then dies quick and silently. Apparently these Eye-reaver eggs are weak to light and can even die from exposure.

>Return to Doctor Pavel's laboratory, see if there are more notes somewhere.

Tracing back your steps you return to the small office and laboratory. The place is lacking most furniture, there is only a desk, a cheap chair, the terminal that you hacked and the doors that lead to the autopsy room and apparently a place were they did experiments and stored samples.

There's trash on the ground, papers of different types, some are simply bills or parts of reports that indicate the effectiveness of different creatures or the result of varied experiments, without them being complete these documents are worthless. Searching around you find something different thought; like the rest of the documents this one was made on a writing machine but you can see that it is way less professional than the others, it seemed to have been written in a haste and not caring about typos or format protocols.

"to whoever reads this, im so sorry.

my name is doctor jeremiah pavel, i was born the 11th of october of the year 2056. i worked here in this laboratory all my life, being a geneticist had been my whole life, i wanted to create better crops and medicines that saved lives, instead i was forced to work creating monsters and bringing nightmares to life, it was the only field were someone of my expertise ccould work, there was no funding for crps or medicines, only war mattered now

i was born and raised in phillys but had to move here whn the department of defence contracted me, god i miss my family and the boys so much, i also wonder if india has been as devastated as the states and if the rest of my family is good

these laboratories were built to create monsters and quickly send them into testig to china. they weer designed to be sturdy but not as durable as a vault. the bombs have fallen and everybody inside survived, but the place wont hold for long. to avoid chinese sabotage and spionage the place activated its dfence systems and sent a hypermagnetic emp. it first deactivated anything electronic in a 20 mile radius and then created a huge magnetic pulse, attracting thousands of tones of metal and junk onto the surface, including planes that were on the air just seconds ago. nobody should be able to find this place among all the junk, but if you are reading this, then it was all moot

this place was not designed to stop radiation, the few scientists that stayed behind instead of running to the surface have been working on sealing as many areas as posible, anything to stop these monsters from leaving this place. im the last one that remains.
i will end this, i will become shiva"

>>3679520

You ended reading it all and continued with more questions than answers. At least you knew that the place you were in was sealed, so you wouldn't be able to explore much else. You also discovered why this place in particular was so filled with junk and metal. The four pylons around the hatch that you used to enter must have been the ones that generated the emp and magnetic pulse. You store the note and go back.

You walk back towards the nearby laboratory and start looking at the different equipment that was around. The place was completely rundown, not only abandoned, but looted. Most of the machinery around lacked pieces, some of it was still usable to a small degree but many were missing critical components or were absolutely disassembled.

This wasn't caused by prospectors, whoever removed these pieces knew what it was doing. Luckily for you thanks to your mechanical expertise and the different metal pieces and other gears, mechanisms and bolts that you carry around you are able to use the different machinery around to create a makeshift radio. The thing is a mess of cables, metal and dials but it will work.

You sit down on the floor and connect the radio to your own pip-boy and also to the Ms.Nanny's circuits, creating a frankenmachine that uses all of your hardware to boost radiowaves in all directions.

Hopefully its signal won't be deterred by the hundreds feet of concrete and soil that separates you two.

"H̠eͅl͗l̓o͕?͍ ̈́Cͬa͐n̜ ͬa̮n̰yͯo̼n͆è ͆h͇ẽàr͕ ̎m͊e͚?ͪ" You say to your helmet's speaker.

At first nothing but static answers but just when you are about to abandon a reply comes back.

You are so happy to hear her that you almost disconnect and break down the gizmo that you have built with your excited and sudden movements.

"Y͖e͂s͖,͆ ̤ÿe͎s͗!̰ ̗Ḯ-͗"̘"

"W͆h̾e͚r̾ẹ ͋a͆r̾e̎ ͮy̓o͒uͪ?ͪ" She interrupts you.

"Listen up!" You say tweaking the dials to improve the signal quality and its strength.

"Jeez, no need to scream!" She replies, this time with barely no distortion at all. "Where are you?"

"I found a hatch somewhere in the north and I fell down, I cannot go back and I'm not sure there is a path to the surface. The place had some greenish light, it was pretty weak, see if you can find it!" You say, as clearly as you can.

"I-I I'm sorry but I don't think we will be able to. Duke is blind so he cannot be of much help. This area is filled with vegetation and cars and there are several lights around from the vehicles and fireflies. Besides, its already morning, I don't think we will be able to find that weak glow during the daylight."

You sigh loudly and hear your stomach rumble, it has been several hours since the last time that you ate of drank.

"Do you think that you could wait until night time, we would have better chances..." She seems really sorry.

>>3679618

There are several vending machines around but who knows if they have anything edible, the molerat is too rotten to be eaten and you doubt that something as mutated as the Eye reavers can be truly digested.

As you pondered on what to do a solution came to you, a really extreme one, but a solution nonetheless.

The Ms.Nanny's engines are not powerful enough to lift her from the ground more than a couple of feet. You could always abandon her and the power armor down there and climb back the ladder from where you came from. The thing cannot hold your weight with the power armor on but it might be able to endure your normal weight.

No! You had worked hard to obtain this power armor and now it was customised to your tastes, with sick red flames painted on it and a special module for your Pip-Boy and the grappling hook. You wouldn't abandon it down here!

Speaking of the Grappling hook. You had used it with the power armor on and carrying the gigantic super-Mutant Duke with you. Such feats had strained it and it almost completely broke it down but thanks to the tools and workstations of the Brotherhood of Steel you were able to fix it.

The Son of Kanaloa technology was sturdy and kind of crude, but really durable. It was designed in a post apocalyptic world for a post apocalyptic society. The Sons designed it to allow its workers to reach high places faster or to use it to capture crates of valuable items that might have fallen onto the sea. Since these boxes were big and heavy and cybernetic bionics were somewhat common among them the grappling hook was surprisingly strong and able to carry very heavy weights, but you needed more.

Sitting on the laboratory you rummage around and find several tools, possibly the ones that whoever dismantled most of these machines used to do so. You strip even more these ancient scientific devices and use their components to upgrade your grappling hook.

It takes you hours, but by the end of it you have a technological wonder on your hands. The newly created grappler is sturdier but it could easily rip a car's door out or raise you to elevated positions with ease. Sadly, to build this you had to sacrifice and use the pieces of several high tech scientific machines, very rare devices that might be nearly unique, if you lose your Grappling Hook or break it, there won't be a way of repairing it.

Sadly, the cable isn't long enough to reach the hatch were you fell from, so you still are unable to ascend from there.

You look around but there isn't anything truly useful, everything of any value has been used on your grappling hook. Nothing but junk remains here.

>Search for one of the sealed doors, see if you can open it. Whatever mutant creature was behind should be dead by now.

You explore the dilapidated laboratories and look around. After about an hour of exploring you end finding three sealed doors and a hole in a wall.

One of the sealed doors is covered in flowers and moss, apparently the other side is lush and full of life, the sweet smell of flowers reaches you the instant you get close to it. The other door is rustier than the rest and cold to the touch, despite being sealed small streams of water leaks from the other side. Apparently the other side is slightly flooded, perhaps the great-War damaged some of the concrete walls and parts of the nearby river broke into. The hole in the wall is smallish, just enough to allow you to walk by, it is made of dirt and feels like it could collapse at any time, but from the other side you can feel a small breeze and even smell the sea, it leads somewhere outside.

>Explore the tunnel.

Your stomach rumbles once more, this time painfully, you are pretty hungry now. You need to leave, perhaps you won't be able to endure until the end of the day.

You move towards the tunnel and advance a few feet, the place is damp, dank and rancid smelling. There place is dotted with some roots, varied junk and glowing fungii. From time to time you can see molerat bones and footprints, all the molerat skulls have the top of their heads cracked open from the inside out, as if their heads had suddenly exploded.

After moving even further and find a skeletal corpse surrounded by dozens of molerat skeletons. It is carrying a tattered lab robe and is heavily clutching a makeshift flamethrower in one hand and a small recording device in the other. There is a small holodisk inside of the device, you grab and play it and hear a male voice.

"To whoever might be reading this. I'm so sorry. My name is Doctor Pavel and...you know what, who cares. I created these monsters and now I'm going to kill them. The rest of the areas have been sealed so we are safe on that aspect but...the eye reavers and the molerats have escaped, and worst of all is that they have a nearly perfect parasitic relationship. The background radiation has mutated the eye reavers drastically, they now infect people and burrow into their brains, devour them whole and attach themselves to the host's spine, the left eye controls the left limbs and the right the other ones. After taking control the two eye reavers mate inside of the now empty skull and pour between six to eight eggs inside. They will then able able to control the corpse of the host until it is too rotten to function. At some point the eggs burst from the inside and proceed to devour their parents and whatever remains of the original host. Thankfully these mutations have also made them incredibly weak to heat and light, it is even lethal to them. Since the molerats breed incredibly fast, can feed on pretty much anything and can live on total darkness they are the perfect host for the eye reavers. I've been hearing them fight for days now and it is only getting louder and louder. I'm no engineer but I have managed to build a flamethrower from some of the lab equipment. I have filled it with flammable chemicals and I plan to go out killing as many of these bastards as I can. If you have found this then it means that I'm dead. I have synthesized a poison pill, let's just hope I had enough time to eat it before being infected."

>>3680309
You check the man's skull and see that it wasn't cracked. He managed to kill around fifty infected molerats before succumbing and even then he ended dying as he wanted instead of becoming a zombie like infected.

"You did good Pavel." You say as you grab his flamethrower.

>Makeshift flamethrower.
>1d6 damage. 1d4 fire damage for 3 turns.

You are quite the pack rat but honestly you have reached your limit. You are now carrying a Laser Pistol on your lap, an electric guitar and a Laser Rifle on your back and now you also have to carry the flamethrower with you. If you ever find another weapon you will have to discard one of the ones you are carrying right now.

Suddenly and running wildly from the end of the tunnel five infected molerats appear, their bodies rotten beyond belief, their heads ready to burst with new eye reavers.

He never told them to get down with them, the plan was for them to find the hatch so they could get him up somehow. Besides, he had only found two so far, so he could have perfectly thought that the place was relatively safe.

Ah fuck, I forgot we were running today.

Alright, I now should roll another 5d12, if your rolled numbers are higher than mine by a degree of 5 then the attacks are crits. Since you guys have a staggering bonus of +21 due to the VATS and your Energy weapon skill then all your flamethrower attacks are crit.

The flamer has 1d6 damage, since all the attacks are crit we have to roll an extra dice, and because we are fighting 5 mole rats we have to roll once for each. So in total that makes 10d6!

These mole rats have each 35 HP.

Good luck!

>Torch them down with your newly acquired flamethrower.

You raise your flamethrower and start pressing the release handle, launching a mixture of pungent smelling chemicals that quickly catch on fire onto the rotten and infected molerats.

The gel like substances stick onto their diseased skins, their rotten bones and putrid flesh, burning their blackened organs from the inside. You can see the nearly mummified molerat corpses blackening by the seconds, flames spewing from the holes of their damaged bodies and smoke coming out from their mouths, nostrils and ears.

With a deafening screech the Eye reavers start to scream in pain, the few molerats with still functioning vocal chords also start to scream in a high pitched gurgling tone, their voices creating an echo across the cavernous tunnel and creating a maddening cacophony of pain and cracking fire.

They all jump onto your body, desperately attacking you with everything they got. The Power Armor is enduring so far, but these abominations are so fierce that they might even find a way of prying into your soft fleshy core. You can feel them pushing the bodies of the mole rats to the limits, biting and scratching so fiercely that they even splinter their own bones and teeth.

Chose one option and then roll 10d6!

>Cook them alive with your Tesla Gauntlets.

You once more charge your Tesla gauntlets and make them glow with the intensity of a small sun. With them alighting the entire tunnel you grab the flaming molerat zombies from your power armor and one by one explode their skulls with an electricity loaded power crush.

With each popped head the two parasitic Eye-reavers pop out, all while still on fire and screeching loudly. Some die after splattering on the wall, others manage to land on the floor and instead perish somewhat later from the burns.

The electric discharge also cook their bodies alive and the boiling eggs fall onto your body and the floor, bubbling wildly as their stillborns melt into a bloody black puddle.

In an instant they are all gone. Your body is covered in putrid gore, burned skin that has melted onto your chassis and the liquid remains of mutant monsters of a bygone era. Even if none of these nasty things has truly touched your skin you feel as if you need a thousand showers to be clean again.

You advance on the tunnel and encounter no more eye-reavers. Despite how dangerous these creatures might be their weakness to sunlight trapped them in these caverns and the laboratory. The Hawaiian wasteland is in no risk of being flooded and infected by them. Still, you gotta do something about them, or risk suffering night attacks by them once the rest of the settlers start to live in the Rustfields.

The tunnel ends in a rocky wall, it has a few holes on it and from these you can see the outside. There are some dead eye-reavers on the ground, the ones fool enough to approach this place during the daylight. With a well aimed punch you break the wall and finally reach the surface.

The newly created cave exit leads to a hillside, you ascend to the top of it and look around trying to find your settlement, it doesn't takes you long to find it and now that you are in a elevated position manage to see it entirely.

The Rustfields, your home.

The place is located on the northern coast of Hawaii near the Waialua bay and it is crossed by the `Anahulu River. It is plain forest that the original settlers cut down in a circular shape, the place is filled with vehicles and plane debris, this is because under it there is a secret lab and the scientists parked their cars here, also because during the great-War the lab activated its defence protocols and sent a EMP followed by a magnetic wave that crashed down every plane that was flying nearby, regardless of if it was Chinese or American. This location was settled by Ghoul political exiles decades ago but something killed them all, know that you know better you are pretty sure that they also found the hatch and unknowingly released Eye-reavers that decimated their numbers. Despite of having a gruesome end they managed to build a defensive wall built with junk and a few shacks, they also managed to build a bridge to reach the other side of the river but it is now broken and unusable.

The sun is going down, night will come soon. With the Ms.Nanny behind you go back into the Rustfields entrance and start searching for them. You thought you would find them pretty fast but at the end, it was them who found you, Duke to be more exactly. Since he is blind darkness is no problem for him and with his incredible sense of smell and hear he managed to detect your presence barely a few feet after you crossed inside.

He jumped at you, his massive frame pinning you down and threatening you with one of his gigantic shark toothed bear trap fists.

"Shit Duke it's me! Dillinger!"

The super mutant stood quiet for a while but then moved back and helped you get on your feet.

"Dillinger, I thought you were trapped. Asuka is desperately trying to make a rope with the vines around."

"I found a way out." You reply, happy to see him.

"Sorry for the attack, but you don't smell like you. You smell foul, fouler than usual."

Despite being so blunt he meant no harm so you simply shrug and chuckle at his honesty.

"Look, I'm starving and thirsty as hell. Do you have anything to eat or drink? I could sate myself while you search for Asuka and tell her that I'm fine."

He nods and guides you towards one of the shacks that the Ghouls built back in the day. It is incredibly dusty, lacks furniture and seems like nature has managed to reclaim most of it, still it is way better than sleeping outside. Asuka and Duke had stored there all the wood and junk metal that they found around. There was also a crate on it, while it didn't look pristine it was clearly in much better shape and newer than the rest.

"Brotherhood gave us some blankets, seeds, water, caps, food and a flag of Ohana to start the settlement and pass as locals. They say they will give us aid from time to time, but that if we have an excess of food or purified water we are to give it to them."

You nod and get out of the armor, to breathe some fresh air, stretch your limbs and eat. You grab some water and Brotherhood made MRE from the box and then sit on the floor to start eating. You are so hungry, thirsty and tired that the moment that you finish your meal you simply fall asleep. Tomorrow will be a long day.

Well, today has been a slow day. I guess that it is because it's Sunday? I hope it isn't because this is losing steam. Tomorrow we will start with the Settlement managing aww yeah!

Anyway, I gotta end it for today! Thanks to everybody who played!

>And as always I might have some time to answer questions or whatever so feel free to ask or say whatever you want!

>>3680941
First and most important question, shouldn't we be fuckin' worried of eye shits sneakin up on us this night? Especially when we just had some beef with them?

>>3680982
We closed the hatch after going down didn't we? Anyway the Eye reavers won't appear much more unless we go back down there or we forget to seal the cave and the hatch. We can always return from time to time to grind exp.

"Rise and shine sleepyhead!" Says Asuka as she softly shakes your left shoulder to wake you up. During your sleep, she has covered you with a blanket.

You stretch up and see the morning sun rising above, it is a cloudless morning, the birds are chirping happily and the sound of the nearby river gracefully mixes with the wind. This place is truly starting to look like the paradise that it is supposed to be.

Duke is working outside, felling trees with his massive fists and even rooting out the smaller ones with his bare arms. The walled interior of the settlement didn't have as much vegetation as the outside forests but still, it was impressive how they both managed to clear pretty much everything and leave plenty of free space for crops or buildings.

"Oh, by the way, there was this among the items that the Brotherhood gave us. Is for you." She says with a coy smile. She then gave you a closed letter sealed with wax, it was written by Elora Lowrey a scribe that you met back in the day. During your stay in the PMV Valdez, you barely exchanged words with her and simply assumed that she was as zealous as the others when it came to interacting with outsiders. You open it and see that Asuka doesn't leave, she's as curious as you are about its contents. In there she talks a little bit about her life and how she wanted to talk to you but never found the strength to do so due to her shyness and introverted nature. She wants to be penpals with you, and apparently, she might even like you as something more than a friend.

You fold the card and put it in one of your pockets before shooing her away.

"Shoo shoo! This is none of your business." You say faking grumpiness.

"Awww. Is it a love letter?" She asks with a wink and nudging her elbow against your squishy tummy.

"Yes, no, perhaps. I don't know. Shoo, I say!"

She then left softly chuckling. Possibly to tell Duke about what happened and gossip together. Despite being two muscular murdemachines these two were pretty gossipy and drama lovers.

Sooner or later we'll need one anyway

>>3683148
>Search the different crashed planes to see if any of them has a working radio. Try to contact with Saltgut and tell him of the change of plans.

You leave the building and see Asuka and Duke chitchatting close by as they carelessly disassemble a broken down car. As you turn around and start moving in the search of a plane that might have a working you hear Duke's booming laugh as he guffaws at something, surely the juicy gossip about you having some girl interested in you. You don't mind it much, to be honest, there isn't much to do around here and they don't seem to be harbor any malice, they are just plain bored.

After about thirty minutes searching around you manage to find a plane wreck with a working radio, you once more use your own Pip-Boy and the Ms.Nanny to strengthen the broadcast and start trying the different frequencies that Saltgut used to work with.

Luckily you manage to find him pretty fast and are greeted with his gurgling yet fatherly voice.

"Aloha! Who's this?" He asks, clearly hungover from whatever celebration did yesterday.

"It's Dillinger. I'm speaking from Oahu's northern coast. Can you read me? Over."

"Dillinger mah boy!" He screams cheerfully. "Yeah yeah, I can hear ya clearly."

"So...there has been a change of plans."

"That doesn't sound good, should I call the others?"

"I...up to you. Remember how I talked about a treasure and all that? Well, everything went south. The Sons and several pirate bands discovered our position and attacked us. The Brotherhood of Steel intervened and saved us, but in exchange have taken most of the treasure and have asked us to build a settlement. I...I don't know how long will it be until we meet again. I'm sorry."

"Worry not kid. It's a darn shame, you would have been an awesome model for Kahuna, she's the one that has been missing you the most... Is the settlement on the coast? Perhaps I could dock from time to time to sell me fish, would be a good way of meeting from time to time."

You look at the nearby river and start to ponder if the Rustbucket could sail it.

"There's the `Anahulu river that crosses the place by the middle. I think you could sail it pretty easily." You say, imagining the mighty tugboat crossing by.

>>3683327

"Uh, that's just perfect then! I could sell fishes and whatever junk I find there and continue down the river to sell more of my goods to nearby towns!"

"Not so fast captain. We are barely a village, we only have a couple of houses and no industry or anything truly valuable yet. Give us some time to truly settle in and have hides, water or whatever we might barter with."

"Oh yeah yeah, no problemo amigo. We have just left the coastline of Oahu so our ship is still empty, I think it will take us around six months to fill it to the brim. Think you will have enough to barter by that time?"

The rest of the team along with the kids should arrive in around a week. Making a total of five adults and twenty kids. The Brotherhood deliveries will come every first Wednesday of the month. Perhaps in six months, you will have something resembling a settlement and enough objects to barter with him. Once he gets in the deep sea you won't be able to contact him. If you make him come for nothing then he will lose great amounts of caps, perhaps even making him lose his ship and his entire livelihood.

>Accept. Ask him to come to your settlement in six months.
>Decline. You are unsure if you will be able to have enough objects by then.

>>3683329
>Accept. Ask him to come to your settlement in six months.
I wonder if Enclave set up some listening posts

>>3683329
>Accept. Ask him to come to your settlement in six months.

In six months, we might have cleared the entirety of the underground complex and be able to sell him some of the less unique high-tech stuff from there. Not to mention any non-perishable food they might have stored down there or weapons. Plus, worst comes to worst we can just use our repair skill and make improvements to his boat in trade for supplies and shit.

Not to mention the sheer amount of scrap metal around here. All the different planes with their various electronics and shit.

>>3683356
Almost certainly, they'd need to triangulate our position however and even then they'd really only do that if they thought we might have something of value to them.

>>3683329
>Accept. Ask him to come to your settlement in six months.
Absolute worst case scenario we can embark on a mission to get something to trade with, who would mind us taking stolen goods from raiders?

>>3683329
>Accept. Ask him to come to your settlement in six months.

"Saltgut, you are a great person and I don't think I could stand a year without seeing you knowing that you are so close. Come towards us in six months and I will give you a better price than any seller of Oahu. Besides, knowing you will come gives me the motivation to work hard."

"Attaboy!" He replies, happy with your choice.

You indicate him more or less the location of your settlement and he assures that he will find his way onto it. With that said and done you two say your goodbyes and then the conversation cuts short and turns into static when he gets too far into the ocean.

It is time to work now. You readied your Pip-Boy and started to write a report about your settlement and its stored materials.

After this we can look into exploring the underground. We know it has living quarters and shit, so if we can secure those then we can avoid having to build any on the surface.

Rolled 19 (1d50)

Alright, rolling to see how much food we manage to get during our first week.

>>3683464
19 food, not bad. That means that we lost only 56 units of food this week. Still a fair amount but only around 2/3rds of our potential loss. Seeing as we have 2444 food remaining and should average around -50 food per week, we can reasonably expect to survive for a very long time even without further expansions to our farms or to other food sources.

If we want a food profit however, we've got a lot of work to do.

>>3683419
>Plant the Brotherhood seeds to have crops and vegetables to eat. Level 1 orchards generate 1d50 units of food per week.

The rest of the team will come soon and with them twenty kids. Soon you will have many mouths to feed and even if the Brotherhood has given you a lot of food to eat the reserves will end soon. Since water is plenty then food is the biggest priority now.

You build some crude hoes from scrap metal and wood and give them to Duke and Asuka. Together you three start to till the soil close to the river and planting the different seeds that they have given you all. The first days of working are completely backbreaking, even with your power armor there are several obstacles that are hard to remove; underground rocks, buried cars and, even radioactive barrels are the things that you guys found as you readied the land.

After a few days the first seeds start to sprout; corn, tatos, melons, mutfruits, pineapples, and some kind of strange brownish beans.

By the end of the week, the amphibious APC came dragging by the rear part of a school bus that had its engine and front part completely removed, leaving only the rear wheels and seats. Inside of the APC there was Jared and Sally, on the bus the kids.

The APC looked nearly pristine, it seemed that during that week the Brotherhood turned it into their own personal project and decided to repair all the damage that it received and change all the jury rigs that you had to put and change them for real pieces and mechanisms. The APC would be useful to cross the river and perhaps barter with close settlements but a thing like this will chug a lot of fuel and its maintenance will be very expensive, so it better be used scarcely. The chopped bus rear wasn't of much use, it could be disassembled and recycled or emptied and used as a storage or a place for some of the kids to sleep on.

Let's get set up on the surface and then we can return to the underground. I'd like to get a stable food supply that way we can focus entirely on clearing the underground and not have to worry about our stockpiles of food.

>Food: 2504 in total.
Ah now I see, the food consumption was for the week, not per day. That makes things much easier...

I assume before we let any kid walk in there we clean the place from any eye reavers, right? Or something like that would be a separate action?

Yeah, my fault. Idk why I wrote day instead of week the other reply.

I don't think we've finished clearing them out anon. Last I remember there was at least some eggs left. Plus even if we'd cleared them out, who knows what else is down there.

>>3683505
It's fine, that honestly makes our situation so much easier that I can't even be anything but happy.

>>3683492
Alright, I will roll 5d50. The first 1d50 will be to see how many fish we get, the next 2d50 will be for the farms. The last 2d50 will be to see how much metal and wood we get.

>>3683530
Holy shit what a haul.

We get a total of 104 food. 41 metal and 43 wood. Writting now.

>>3683534
Well that's progress at least. I mean we've more than doubled our metal and wood supply and our food situation is almost stable.

Question OP, how are we going to handle defences like automated turrets and such? Fallout 4 ease of crafting or a more realistic need for complex industry or pre-war scrap?

>>3683536
>Question OP, how are we going to handle defences like automated turrets and such? Fallout 4 ease of crafting or a more realistic need for complex industry or pre-war scrap?

Turrets will require materials. Turrets will go from level 1 to level 3. Each upgrade costing more materials.

Building them will require no dice rolls because we have enough mechanical expertise. Upgrading them will require dice rolls thought. Succeed and you will successfully upgrade them, fail and they will go back one level.

If you are trying to upgrade a level 1 turret and fail then the turret will be destroyed and you will lose the materials; if you are trying to upgrade a level 2 turret and fail you will lose the materials but end with a level 1 turret.

If you get a nat12 when upgrading a turret you will succeed and won't lose materials. If you get a nat 1 when upgrading a turret you will lose the materials and also destroy the turret, regardless of its level.

Turrets can be of different materials. They can be laser, plasma, acid, tesla, ballistic, rocket or even throw flaming teddy bears if you want. The sky is the limit!

You get seven scrawny kids and take them to build nets with cloth, any fish that gets trapped in these should be able to swim its way outside of it while any drifting trash that the seas might carry should be safely trapped. Now all you have to do is hope for the seas to be generous. Another benefit is that they will keep the river cleaner and overall healthier.

Jared and Sally also get a group of six children and proceed to build fishing nets with some wire mesh that was lying around. They make a surprisingly good job and place them in the rivers in the parts where the waters aren't too deep. Asuka and Duke take the remaining kids and proceed to teach them how to till and cultivate the land, expanding the farms and crops even more.

The kids seem happy to be here, they lived in fear in the city and many times had to steal to simply survive. You notice that many of them lack a finger or two, these fingers have been cleanly cut, someone did this to them, perhaps they had been caught stealing at some point and the fascist enforcers of Ohana saw cutting their fingers as a fit punishment. Perhaps they would have been better on some other island away from the negative influence of the Enclave but as far as you knew, Hawai'i was a radioactive hellhole and Lana'i was completely dominated by the Sons of Kanaloa. Perhaps this is truly the best they can aspire to.

By the end of the week, you have caught a pretty good haul of fish and some vegetables have become big enough to be consumed. The junk nets have also brought a lot of drifting wood and some barrels.

You once more grab your Pip-Boy and update the log. Adding more information now that you are starting to get the hang of it.

Over all a decent hall however this shows the issue we will experience with our current level of variable food production. We can only currently average 100 food per week and require 145 food per week. This means we are on average losing 45 food. We can therefore only survive another 29 weeks off our current food supply assuming this average of production is actually what we get, with 4chan dice it probably won't be but still.


On the materials front however, we're doing fairly decently and will most likely continue to do so. Especially given the nature of our region as being materially rich in scrap and nuclear material.

>>3683614
Should we focus on gathering materials so we can upgrade on food?

>>3683614
Remember that the BoS will also aid us with caps and other resources every first Wednesday of the month. That will give us an extra dice for all resource types, including an extra one for caps.

One the other side, our extra food is to be given to them.

>>3683618
No, our food supply is good enough for now given our primary purpose is to be a cover-op for the BOS. We can improve it later but it'll do for now.

What I really want to do is clear out as much of the underground complex as possible. That way we can get access to the living quarters, store rooms and any generators in there. That way we can avoid having to build or gather anything from the surface until later.

>>3683620
>Remember that the BoS will also aid us with caps and other resources every first Wednesday of the month. That will give us an extra dice for all resource types, including an extra one for caps.
True. Honestly I'd prefer if they just gave us robots and shit like that. Non-human labour is something we could sorely use short term just for it's endurance, environmental resistance and lack-of-food-consumption.

You send the kids that worked with you the last week to the other groups and tell the others that there is something you have to deal with. You pack some food and water, charge all your weapons and don the power armor before once more descending into the darkness below.

For the next week, the Ms.Nanny and you spend entire days scrounging for materials, collecting everything of value and stripping it down to its core components. You do not dare to cross the mossy sealed door or the rusty one, some things are better to be left alone. By the end of Sunday, you have mapped most of the place, found a restroom, toilets, living quarters and even a small storeroom. This place could be a great bunker or be turned into a garage if the need arises.

You encounter a few Eye-reavers along the way but they pose no problem, a few flames of your flamethrower are enough to send these abominations scuttering away, you aren't even afraid of them anymore. Still, they can pose a problem, especially now that there is a small population living nearby.

With a good haul of items on your back, you once more cross the dirt tunnel filled with dead molerats and exit the laboratory. Slowly and dragging your pre-war loot you return to

And before anybody could even notice it the first month has passed. It has been a hard time, a lot of work and barely, no time for entertainment. There are no books, no radio and not much to do but at least the kids have the river and the fields to play during their free time. Thanks to the clean running water of the river the settlers have also been clean and devoid of illnesses or parasites. Sadly, the lack of beds is making some people cranky.

The people around are starting to see you as the local leader. Even the kids obey your every word.

You order them to keep up the good work and expand the junk nets and farms and then you get on the Supercharged Highwayman that the Brotherhood gave you and drive all the way to the same beach where you were left around a month ago.

Since you now know the way and the car is driving without the Ms.Nanny, Duke, Asuka and all the materials that you originally carried the journey is swift and fast. You press the accelerator and see several high flames spewing from the exhausts as you drift across dirt roads and the coastline. Once you reach the location you see a nervous pilot with its Vertibird landed nearby and covered in foilage and driftwood.

It was obvious that the pilot was terrified, she was in enemy territory and if the Enclave ever found her she would be killed even if she managed to take off. Once she saw you she quickly grabbed a box from the interior of the vehicle and signaled you to give her whatever food you might have in surplus.

The exchange is done quickly. No words are exchanged. With several clouds arising in the horizon, she gets on the Vertibird and flies onto the sunset. Before putting the crate on your trunk you open it to see what they have given you.

Fourteen units of Metal, six units of Wood, nine units of Concrete, five units of Copper, four units of Plastics and fourteen Caps.

They could have been more generous, but it is not half bad. You once more update your registry and add a new category for Caps.

There was obviously another of Elora's letter, this time asking you how life in the wasteland is and what do you do for fun. You forgot to write her back and to send it along with the supplies. Oh well, perhaps the next time.

You drive back towards Rustfield and hear, sobbing as you get closer and closer. The night sky has already covered everything with its dark blanket. Only the broken moon and a few stars remain above you. You park the car and get closer to the source of the sobbing with your Laser Pistol ready. It's one of the small children, scared and scarred.

"Dillinger!" He screams after he sees you.

"Something...something happened! There are monsters out there! Please don't let them eat my eyes."

The Eye-reavers have gotten into the town. They must have escaped the cave that connects with the laboratories and then found the settlement. Who knows how many people are infected now.

>Lock the kid in the car, he should be safe here. Search for the Eye-reavers and burn them down.

I thought we'd cleared that place out. Dammit I knew we should've spent more time clearing it out or at least preparing some defences but I thought we'd be fine...

After we've got this situation back under control, I think it would be wise to make some basic turrets and set them up at any entrances to the underground we can find. Anywhere we can't afford to put or power a turret, we block off.

Ok guys, I don't want to be accused of railroading. I know that the Eye reavers attacking is not a surprise at all but do you guys think that I didn't give enough chances to seal or clear the place?

>>3683808
I believe you would've allowed us to try and clear them out if we voted to, but you didn't suggest it.

>>3683808
Relying on write ins to read your mind and to avoid your (obvious) traps is not quality QMing. This is the reason why anons are usually so overly paranoid.
I even asked about eye shits being a problem and you assured me it would be fine. As seen here
>>3680982
>>3681007

>He never told them to get down with them, the plan was for them to find the hatch so they could get him up somehow. Besides, he had only found two so far, so he could have perfectly thought that the place was relatively safe.
Kinda handwaving sharing important info with the rest of the group
>>3681007
>We closed the hatch after going down didn't we? Anyway the Eye reavers won't appear much more unless we go back down there or we forget to seal the cave and the hatch. We can always return from time to time to grind exp.
Reassuring players that they won't reappear as long as we don't engage
>>3683501
>I assume before we let any kid walk in there we clean the place from any eye reavers, right? Or something like that would be a separate action?
I asked about this but didn't get response

>>3683826
No worries, you fuck up once to not fuck up again.
Also sorry for my tone, just kinda annoyed me mate

>>3683826
If you dont want to do settlement stuff I would be totally okay to time skip all of it and jump to us boarding Saltgut ship. Just saying

>>3683765
You lock the kid in the car and run towards the others. You expected to see them in panic or fighting the Eye reavers but instead, you see them sitting in a campfire, all together.

"Oh hey, Dillinger!" Says Asuka, who was sitting on the floor and was reading a dark book. "One of the junk nets has captured a crate full of comics and fantasy books. We are now reading this book called "Chilling Stories to tell in the night!" most of the comics are also about ghosts, monsters, and ghouls-"

"Hey!" Interrupts Sally, the Ghoul sniper of the group.

"Shit sorry." She says giving her an apologetic look and bending downwards. Sally then smiled at her, she was just messing with her. "Anyway, I guess that since the war happened shortly before Halloween these stories are all about this topic? Since we have been kind of bored as of late I've been reading these stories to the kids. I think I've spooked a couple of them with a story about Eye possessing ghosts. It's kinda creepy, to be honest."

You breathe relieved to know that it was a false alarm. Still, the risk is still out there.

>Go on your own to the Lab and clear it of monsters. Eye reavers should never exist, finish Dr. Pavel's work and extinguish them.
>Go to the hatch and seal it with a mixture of fire and laser. Then go to the cave and cover it with concrete.
Requires 15 concrete.
>Go to the lab, see if you can make some explosives from the materials lying around and try to destroy the wall nearest to the river to flood it all.
>Tell the adults about the Eye-Reavers, make a team and kill them all. See if you should also clear the other areas too.

To be fair, I'd been considering just asking the BOS for assistance clearing up this shit, seeing as it is literally their guiding directive to eliminate, contain and control dangerous technology. I guess we can just ask for a reward for doing it for them later.

You have three options to upgrade the flamethrower.

>Make it handheld, pistol size, allowing you to carry another big weapon and also giving you the chance of wielding it with your laser pistol or a melee weapon.
>Increase in damage by 1 dice.

>Upgrade your flamethrower.
With your power armor, trinkets, caps and other items every one of your steps sounds like a tank moving forwards, and honestly seeing how much gear you are carrying it is no surprise. What it is surprising is that the strange copper bell that you carry never makes a sound no matter how much you move, it didn't even chime when you fell down onto the laboratory the first time. Weird.

You better slim down your weight, you honestly are unsure if you can carry everything you have without the power armor on.

Using your few tools and the resources around you search in the different vehicles and start toying with your flamethrower. Since it was makeshift all of its pieces could be exchanged and made it incredibly modular, just like the pipe weapons that are so popular in the Commonwealth.

After working all night you manage to make it smaller, lighter and easier to carry. You now can dual wield it with your laser pistol, a shield, a sword or anything really. Happy with the result you make another holster for your new pistol and put each on your hips, the flamer on the left, the laser on the right. The stranger with the big iron on his hip is nothing compared with you.

>>3684155
>Tell the adults about the Eye-Reavers, make a team and kill them all. See if you should also clear the other areas too.

With that done you simply join the rest and exchange stories. All the kids have gone to bed now, only a few ones remain.

"Oh hey, Dillinger," Duke says. "I've heard that you are not native Hawaiian. Where are you from and how did you end here?"

Well, you promised to tell your story to Saltgut but perhaps it would be rude to keep it to yourself with all these people, they look up to you after all.

"It's not a very interesting or glorious story, to be honest...I was born in the northeastern coast of the United States, near Boston. I guess you could say I crossed the country from side to side. I was born in a small settlement called Sanctuary, it's a nice place, built from the remains of a pre-war suburb. The area was funded by a Vault Dweller that was frozen before the bombs, it in fact lived in that same place 250 years ago, it's crazy, I don't know, I never managed to meet it. My mother was a bartender and my da was a doctor. He helped her deal with the drunken fights, she helped him cope every time a patient died or after especially stressful days, and they also spent a lot of time together because he could get her chems to sell in her bar and she could get him high-grade booze that he could use in his operations if nothing else was available. I lived with them and our dog Meatball, a lot of people in that place had dogs because the founder's dog Dogmeat had puppies at some point. We weren't rich but we had enough to do pleasure trips from time to time. Bunker Hill, Diamond City, and even places further away like Megaton... it was a good life until someone suddenly shot my parents at point-blank. The murderer assured me that they were not real people, but escaped synths, she then assured me that it was for the best because they weren't my real parents, and then somehow reached the conclusion that since they both were synths I had to be one too. Synths...are lifelike robots, not robots really, well sometimes they are. Anyway...suddenly boom, both gone. I simply ran away back to Sanctuary, told them what happened and even if they assured me that I was safe and everything would be fine, I couldn't believe it, so I grabbed all their saved caps, two lifetimes worth of savings and anything valuable and ran away..."

You stood quiet for a while, repressing the urge to cry.

>>3684158

"I always told myself that I would at some point find a place to call home, to find a person who would love me as they loved me. But no matter where I went I couldn't find it. My money ran out in Nevada. Afterwards, I was forced to do odd jobs to continue moving on and on. I have seen many things along the way, I've seen Liberty Prime and the Prydwen in full action. I've crossed the ruins of Nuka-World. I've been to the ghostly wastes of West Virginia and the deserts of the Mojave. In fact, it was in the Atomic Wrangler Casino were my last savings went dry. I did some stuff I'm not proud of to pay my debts. I somehow reached the coast and my only paths left were either go south into Mexico or up north further into NCR territory. I'm no fan of the New California Republic and I don't know Spanish so I thought that I was at the end of the line. Then I reached some shady bar to find some easy work and I heard a man speaking about going to Hawaii on a boat and how this place was wonderful beyond belief. He invited me to a drink and the next thing I remember is waking up in a plane above the ocean. Then the Enclave shot us down, I was rescued and yadda yadda."

Whew, it feels good to let that out. The rest is about to talk but you end interrupting them all.

"Honestly, I'm not here to talk about my life. We have a problem. The first day I came here I found a hatch and fell down from it. We have a secret pre-war laboratory under our feet. The place was used to create genetic monsters and send them to China for testing. Nukes fell and all hell broke loose. The scientists in there managed to seal parts of the place but there are some creatures called Eye-Reavers still down there. They attack your eyes, devour them and your brain, mate inside your skull, fuse with your spine and control you like a zombie with the intent of infecting more people. At some point the eggs inside of your skull hatch and they devour it all, leaving nothing but bones and dry blood. Rinse and repeat. It was the thing that killed the original Ghoul Settlers. The laboratory is not completely sealed, some molerats managed to breach in and created a dirt tunnel that connects with the exterior. The Eye-reavers are weak to sunlight and fire so they won't attack us during the day, but I fear what they might do at night."

"Oh my god!" Screams Sally. "Why didn't you tell us before? For how long have you know this?"

"I know I know! I just never thought we were in real danger. Until now." You say, sulking.

"Are they easy to kill?" Asks Duke.

"Yes, they aren't very thought, but the problem is how easy they can turn you into their side."

"I don't need eyes to see, craft me some scrap metal helmet with no eyes holes and I will kill them all."

"Duke no." Intervenes Asuka, clearly worried about her boyfriend.

"The kids are in danger, we have to clear the place. These critters aren't high in numbers, we should do it quickly and as soon as possible. If they reach the children they will multiply massively. " You add, trying to convince her exploiting her motherly personality.

"Besides." You continue adding. "The place is great, huge, safe, and hidden. In case there is a raider attack or one of these freak rad storms we will be able to get everybody in there and keep them protected."

One by one they all end agreeing in joining, but only if you make eye protection for everybody. You agree and get to work, sadly, with the limited tools that you have on yourself all you can do are some metallic goggles with slits to see. You also order them to cover their faces with headwraps to avoid inhaling or contact with whatever toxic sludge or fumes these creatures might drop when dead.

With all the kids asleep, even the one trapped in the car, you all go into the hatch and start to descend.

Do we really want to tho? It might be just a load of bull to get us to join the Brotherhood or something.

"It's not a very interesting or glorious story, to be honest“

I only just stole 2 lifetime supply of caps after my parents were murdered for being robots. Nothing really interesting...

>>3684456
If it is we might be able to use it to our advantage, we could get them to slip up on sensitive information. Also it’s up to us on whether or not we join the Piratehood of Steel.

>>3684168

One by one you all descend into the dark laboratory below, they all don their protective masks and ready their weapons. You turn on your flashlight and lead the way, walking towards the darkness ahead with the flamer pistol in one hand and the laser in the other.

Sally is wielding her sniper rifle, a small flashlight attached to the end of it. It's clear that she is not used to the added weight and that she has some trouble to keep the gun up. Duke is still with her dual shark-toothed bear trap fists, Asuka wields her two super sledges too, the fire of their jet engines brightly illuminating everything. Jared is wielding an old shotgun, he is clearly the most nervous and inexperienced one, outside of his trusty APC he feels exposed.

"I can't see a damn thing." Says nervously Jared, he is a psyker, perhaps his mutant eyes don't adapt to darkness as well as human ones, perhaps he is simply too nervous. Sally tries to comfort him by putting her hand on his shoulder but this only makes him jumpier, as he didn't see her approaching.

Grouped together you all advance towards the area were the Eye-reavers are most proliferous. It doesn't take long to find the first infected mole-rat, this one seems to be fresher than the ones that you had found before, it was recently infected. Before you could even raise your guns Sally put a bullet between its eyes, the projectile leaving a hole that crossed its skull from side to side. From the newly created crack, stillborn eggs started to pour, the Eye reavers were unaffected thought, and immediately started to run towards you all with murderous intent. It never managed to reach you all as Asuka stepped forwards and with the synchronized swing of her two sledges crushed the rat's skull by hitting it from both sides. The eyes popped out and went flying along with the remaining eggs. You readied your flamer and burned them all before they could react, cooking them alive and filling the entire area with a nasty unpleasant smell.

Duke then grabbed one of the burned Eye-reavers and started to sniff it.

"Duke no." Says Asuka.

"Duke yes." He says as he proceeds to eat it whole.

You all look at him flabbergasted and see his normally reddish skin tone turn pale and then greenish. Now he truly looked like one of the Super-mutants you were used to. It didn't take him long to puke the thing out, there was blood in his vomit.

"Duke no." He whispers after cleaning his mouth.

Asuka then went to comfort him. You looked at her and with her hands, she indicated you that later she would explain what happened.

Leaving that aside you all continue advancing, and one by one end shooting, crushing, burning and stomping on all the molerats until none are left. By the end of the night, you all must have killed around thirty of them.

>>3685538

>You have cleared the Eye-reavers
>500 exp obtained
>22150/28000 exp in total

"Hey." Says Asuka as she removes her mask and eye protection. "We had no problem to kill these critters. Do you think we should unseal the other doors and see what's behind?

There were other two doors, one covered in a moss-like substance that smelled of flowers and the other one that was rusted and smelled of the ocean.

"Fuck no." Says Jared, covered from head to toe in nasty fluids and mutant blood.

"There might be something interesting behind," Duke says patting his muscular stomach, while he was still fit and muscular you now could see that he was thinner and weaker, his ribs were even starting to show. Asuka looked at him worriedly and then seemed to regret suggesting opening the doors.

"This place is awesome!" Says Sally. "If we work hard we could simply live underground and leave the surface to raise cattle, catch fish and farming. It would be like being a Vault Dweller! I always liked the idea of being one!" She says excitedly.

>Unseal the mossy door. Get ready to attack whatever might be on the other side.

>Other option, write in.
>Let leave it for now. Let BoS handle it.
>Order sealed suits and make some sort of decontamination chamber.

"No." You say. "It's too dangerous for now. We will send a letter to the BoS the next time we have one of their deliveries. Let's ask for sealed biohazard suits or something to build a radiation arch or a decontamination chamber. There might be diseases in there. For now, we will just stay here and use the place to sleep, eat and shower."

They all nod. You leave them exploring the different areas and assuring that there are no more Eye-Reavers left and in the meanwhile search around for a pen and paper, once you find them you start writing down everything that happened and the capabilities of this lab, the Brotherhood should be very interested in ending any mutant creature that might roam down here but also in the defensive EMP defense system and any high technology that might be here. Besides, having a secret bunker in Oahu would be a great asset for their plans of infiltration and sabotage.

Once the letter is written and everybody is sure that no more Eye-reavers roam around you all leave the place using the cave. It is a clear night, a few clouds are above you raining softly, showering you all with a weak drizzle.

"Wait." Says Sally as she raises her sniper rifle and looks from her scope.

"I think I've seen something!" She stays quiet for a while and then moves back.

"I have seen some horses in that nearby clearing, near the beach. It's a pack of stallions I think. They seem to be wild. Perhaps we could tame them. They would give us a great advantage and be helpful to scout the area, trade with nearby people or use as a workforce, the horses will require a lot of food thought..."

You have heard of Horses and even saw a couple in an NCR zoo in Shady Sands, you know they are very rare creatures in the Post-apocalyptic world. Instead of horses most merchants and travelers either walk or use gigantic Molerats and Brahmin as mounts. Perhaps Hawaii is an exception to the norm and there are several horses around.

Grabbing your Laser Rifle you look with the scope and see an emancipated six-legged horse with patches of hair missing and a skeletal face.

>Go and try to capture the horses.
>Leave them for now.
>Go and hunt them all for their meat.
>Other option, write in.

>>3685634
Try to capture the horses

>Go and try to capture the horses.

Yee(and I cannot express this enough)haw

>>3685634
>Leave them for now.
We are not establish well enough to take care of them

>>3685634
>Go and try to capture the horses.

>>3685634
>Go and try to capture the horses.

"If we are to grow as a settlement these horses could prove useful. We don't know if they usually roam around here or if they move in a nomadic and wild manner. Perhaps we won't have this chance again, and if for whatever reason we can't maintain them we can always butcher them for meat or sell them." You say, getting ready.

As you are about to advance with the rest of the group a small alarming message pops up in your Power-armor. It's Fusion Core is only at 10% of charge, you will have to build an energy generator to recharge it or ask the BoS for a new one the next time you contact them, but it would take at least two months until you receive it, and they could always decline your request because they consider you an outsider. Well, that's a bridge that you will have to cross later, now you gotta focus on the Radstallions.

This will be really challenging. The instant you jump into the pack the rest will run away, and with only five of you and no lassos you only have an opportunity to grab one of them, two if you are really lucky.

There are five horses. One is the Stallion that you saw with the scope of your laser rifle, it seems to be the most average one of them, a jack of all trades.
https://i.imgur.com/lbXdalB.png

There is another one, grey in color, and with barely any mane on its neck and head. This horse is thinner and wirier, it looks like it is the fastest one by far. It would make a great horse to scout and explore nearby.
https://i.imgur.com/4qxMfOR.png

The leader of the pack is a big and muscular black horse, scars on his hide and dried blood on its dentures and hooves. You are pretty sure that this horse could even knock down your APC and could easily be ridden by you while in Power Armor. This horse thought will surely fight back and seems to pack a punch. You better be careful with it.

The biggest horse is one that is more mutated than the rest, it has long fur and an extra set of legs that seem of no use for him. This horse seems to be calm yet incredibly strong and might have incredible stamina. It would make the perfect workhorse or merchant companion as it seems to be able to walk for days and carry incredible weights without breaking a sweat

Lastly, there is the Ghoul horse, an equine with exposed musculature, eyes without pupils and libs growing erratically. This horse seems to be the most aggressive one and you are pretty sure that its bite is even radioactive, but with it, you could cross the most dangerous and toxic places that this wasteland might launch at you. Radioactive deserts or toxic swamps will be no problem for this disgusting looking horse.

Rolled 1 + 15 (1d12 + 15)

The best roll has been a 19. I will have a +15 on my roll because the Warhorse is considered a Very Hard challenge.

So unless I roll a 4 or less you will fail. If I get a nat1 It will be a crit loss for me and you will get the chance of capturing another horse.

Yey.

Im kind of busy now so the next reply will take some time. It might even be delayed until tomorrow.

In the meanwhile you can think of names for your new horses. I will chose the ones with most votes.

>>3686584
Benjamin for the Workhorse
Steele for the WAAGH HOARSE

Sleipnir for the warhorse, Coco for the workhorse

I was gonna name the workhorse comrade, but I pulled back, as comrade is a communist term, and that’s UNAMERICAN

>>3686584
Bean and Blueberry

Rolled 3, 1 = 4 (2d3)

I'm back! So we have three suggestions but each has a single vote, so I will let the dice gods decide.

I'll roll 2d3

The first dice roll will be for the Warhorse. If we roll a 1 the chosen name will be Steele, number two will be Sleipnir, number 3 for Bean.

The second dice roll will be for the Workhorse and will have the same method.

>>3686610
Sleipnir is a fitting name, the original artist was clearly inspired by them and in his canon, these four-legged mutant horses are indeed called Sleipnirs or Slippies. That's why the image for this post >>3685634 is called "slippies_9.png"

Together you all run towards the herd.

"Duke, with me! Let's jump on the big black horse!" You scream to him.

"Every horse is black for me!" He says with a mischievous smile and a sort guffaw, kind of enjoying how you forgot for a moment that he is blind. On his run, he removes his sharktrap fists and gets ready to grapple the warhorse to the ground.

"The rest! Try to overpower the big horse! Try to tire it down but don't attack it!"

With a jump, you two launch yourselves onto the obsidian scarred horse. It is stronger than it looks and even with your power-armored body and the super mutant on top, it manages to get on its hind legs and stomp on the floor with enough force to throw you onto the ground. You two are launched several feet and roll across the foliage, destroying shrubs and small trees along the way.

The rest of the horses run away into the wilderness, you cannot see how the others are faring but by the lack of struggle sounds, they don't seem to be having problems at all. You on the other side, are in great trouble. Emergency. Fusion core damaged, refrigerator valve broken. Critical low charge levels. >5 minutes until complete energetic drainage. starts to flash on your eyes.

Great, just great.

You stand up and see that at least the armor hasn't been very damaged, just some chipped paint and a couple of dents that are easy to fix. Duke, on the other hand, seems to be ecstatic and frenzied, blood is pouring from his nose and foam is forming on his mouth.

"I like this horse! Finally something with some bite! You are strong! It will be good to have that strength! " He says as he dashes towards the horse once again.

You run behind him, bewildered by his attitude but still focused on taming the warhorse. Once more you two jump onto it, this time you manage to tackle it down and proceed to press its body as much as you can and fight its attempts at standing up and throwing you away as best as you can. The warhorse fights for what seems like hours, it even tries to bite your skin off but thanks to the piston-powered mechanical muscles of your power armor you manage to keep its jaws shut and away from your face or fingers. With a weak huff, the horse finally surrenders to you two and stops fighting.

>>3687166

Looking at the other group you see them playfully feeding the workhorse. Despite being the biggest one by far it also seemed to be the most docile one, and the horse seemed to be content to follow and trust you all as long as it is feed. In the few seconds where you look away Duke's murderous instincts kick in and he attempts to devour the warhorse. You stop him with an electricity filled punch that throws him onto the ground and leaves him shaking down onto the floor, muscles spasming hard he effortlessly tried to stand up and fight back.

"What the hell Duke!" You scream at him, in that instant, the Power-armor's core runs dry, automatically opening and becoming unresponsible, forcing you to get out of it.

Asuka comes running at him with tears in her eyes.

"Don't hit him! It's not his fault! Please!" She begs you.

"Tell us what's going on right now!" You say dryly, still confused and angry at his recent attitude.

"It's...it's because he's a super mutant. He needs flesh to survive. His current diet of vegetables and fish is not healthy for him. He's weakening and so does his health, sanity, and DNA. He will soon start mutating, getting thinner and iller. That's why he ate the Eye-reaver. He's just desperate for something different..."

>Let Asuka grab the APC, drive Duke to the nearest settlement or merchant that she finds and use all the funds to buy meat for him.
>Make Duke live of the settlement in the wilderness outside so he can hunt down animals and even raiders if he wants. Asuka can join him if she wants. He will only be allowed back when he recovers.

I have more crazy ideas. Human bones! He could gnaw at them. Bone marrow should provide decent amount of human DNA. Body from lab and maybe dead ghuls should be a good source of it.

>>3687170
>Change the diet of the entire settlement, make him feed only on fish, impose a vegetarian diet for the rest of the settlers.

"Duke, you are our friend, part of this town. We won't make you leave as your old family did. You have a new family now, and we will work hard to make you stay here. We will take care of you." You say to him.

He is now sobbing softly, it is clear that he regretted his acts, perhaps a past episode of sudden carnivorous urges was also the act that forced him into exile and abandoning all his friends and family from Port Kalewa back in the day.

"This is what we are going to do. From now on you will only feed on fish, ironically enough the greens don't seem to be healthy for you, don't let any of the kids discover this or it will never want to eat its vegetables ever again." You say half-heartedly, trying to raise his spirits. You manage to get a chuckle out of him.

"The rest will start feeding only on the tatos, mutfruits, pineapples, melons and whatever we grow. We still have some MREs from the Brotherhood so we should be fine. The next weeks we will also expand the orchards and our farms to increase our food production and be able to also feed the horses. It will all be fine alright?" You say, patting his massive shoulder, his skin was now paler than when you first meet him, it was also softer, weaker.

"I think we also have enough wood and metal to build a raft, you could use it to go to the sea and hunt some sha-manos like you did when you lived in the lighthouse."

"Yes...I would like that." He replies shyly.

"No, no way." Asuka intervenes. "Duke, you are blind, going into the open sea is a deathwish for you. In your lighthouse you attracted the sharks to the coastline and then hunted them in the areas where you could still walk. Do you even know how to swim?" She says.

Duke shrugs, kinda timidly.

"I will go with you. Or perhaps we could sail to the coast and you could once more do your weird blood thing to bring them to you, but no way you are going alone."

"Alright." He says smiling, happy to know how much she loved and how deeply she cared about him.

With that said everybody starts to return to the settlement, the warhorse is carrying the empty power armor on top of it, the workhorse is strong enough to carry the rest on its lap.

Just as the sun is arising you all reach the entrance gates and cross inside. You can see that some of the kids are already awake and playing around. Luckily for you, all the Ms.Nanny stood behind and was there to keep an eye on them.

>>3687414

>Remember it is not about food it's about DNA. Ask him to try to eat some hair and stuff. Maybe donate some blood. See if that helps

"Hey Ms.Nanny, can you cut hair?" You ask her once you are close enough.

"Yes, sire." She responds with a female sounding yet monotonous voice.

"What about drawing blood."

"Yes, sire. Both are functions installed in my medical firmware. Do any of the kids have lice or need a blood analysis?"

"No, I want you to take a blood sample of every one of the kids and cut their hairs, all the hair and blood that you collect is to go in this bucket, understood?" You order it as you put a rusty bucket in one of her pincers.

The kids are awestruck at the sight of the horses, the ones that aren't awake yet are quickly awakened by their friends so they can see the equines. Soon every one of the kids is in front of you. It's a good thing that they are all here together because you have to give them some bad and good news.

"Listen up kids. I've bad and good news! Which one do you want first!"

"Bad news first!"

"Until further notice, we won't eat more roasted fish, only melons, pineapples, baked beans, and other vegetables. Starting from now on once per every two months every one of us will need to have its hair cut and give a little bit of their blood. The Ms.Nanny will be the one who will do that."

They all start booing, some of them even cry, obviously, the roasted fish is their favorite food from their limited choices and nobody likes being forced to have clean-shaven heads and being forced to have its blood taken.

"Wait, now comes the good news!" You say kind of worried after seeing most of the kids crying.

"We have found a super duper underground secret lab and it has plenty of space to play with when it rains, it has showers and even beds!"

The idea of having beds then change all their minds, slowly they all start to stop crying and cheering. They have been sleeping on the floor for too long.

Now that the problem has been solved you all move the horses to one of the small shacks that from now on will be used as a stable,

>The facility was quite advance to produce eye reavers. See if you could produce some meat there. With the use of SCIENCE!
The laboratory down below its very advanced yes. But Dr.Pavel used some of the machinery to build the flamethrower and you further used its high technology pieces to upgrade your grappling hook. It will be pretty much impossible to create flesh from whatever laboratory equipment remains.

Just caught up on the thread.

About the Eye Reavers, I feel like for one, we should have taken the initiative to clear those things out. For two, Axsisel you never put that as an option at any point during the four weeks for us to go take care of them. We knew they'd be a problem. Dillinger Is a smart lad, It should have crossed his mind.

And considering the new rule change we should probably up our luck more to get more dice.

I will end it for today. I want to continue but its 3AM for me and I'm falling asleep. The next reply will start with us finding a working generator and a couple of charged Fusion cores thanks to your awesome nat12. Tomorrow the quest will return to settlement managing and expanding our town. If possible I will also update this pic >>3680891 to reflect the changes that we have done.

>And as always I might have some time to answer questions or whatever so feel free to ask or say whatever you want!

Picture has been updated. Junk nets have been added in the river, fish nets have been added, orchids and horses too. Since the population can now sleep in beds and shower their hygiene and happiness has increased 20%. Sadly, taking the hair and blood of the population has lowered the happiness a 10%. We have also found a generator down there and two fusion cores. The generator allows us to power up lights, and turrets! There are still another 3 weeks until the BoS return.

>Grab different vehicle engines and use them to build a energy generator.
It will generate 5 power but it will be very noisy and churn out black smoke, so it will decrease the Happiness by 5 too.
>Build a LV1 windmill to generate even more power.
It will cost 20 metal and generate 3 power, these windmills are silent and clean so they won't affect happiness. Level 2 windmills will generate 6 power and LV3 windmills will be able to turn the corn into cornbread, adding an extra 1d50 for the food generation.

Sorry! But we have 39 metal, your choices require 40!

And yeah, I forgot to mention, the -10 happiness is also from the vegan diet.

Wait no, I fugged up. I forgot to roll to see how much food, wood and metal we generated the last week. I will now delete my last post and rewrite it.

I'll also roll, 12d50
First 6d50 for the food, next 3 for metal and last 3 for wood.

Rolled 49, 3, 45, 5, 3, 8, 50, 45, 11, 47, 6, 32 = 304 (12d50)

Shit forgot to roll, I'm really clumsy today.

>>3688890
Food: 49+3+45+5+3+8=113
Metal: 50+45+11= 106
Wood: 47+6+32=85

We had a total of 2382 food. Managed to collect 113 units of food and we consume 165 units per week. So we end with -52 food for a total of 2330.

The following week goes fast. You all are blessed with non irradiated rain and the crops grow healthy and well. Despite both being females the kids name the warhorse Bean and the other Benjamin, and somehow the names stuck.

Sally and Benjamin became friends and started to grow a great bond, the Ghoul girl even started being the only one who feed and cleaned her. You never took her for a horse girl. The two even start to work together and with your help you manage to build a saddle and a plow for the horse to better cultivate the fields.

Asuka, Duke and half of the kids started to work together too on building a guard tower. At the end it all went well, with Duke's new meat only diet and all our hairs and blood samples he became healthier and regained his strength, You too are now completely bald but you don't mind it much. Your hair will return, a dead friend would not.

Jared and the Ms.Nanny along with the other half of the kids work hard in making more fish nets. Jared has convinced them that if we have lots of fish then they will return to eating grilled fish in no time. And it is true, if there a surplus then the rest will have to be delivered and meat will once more be back in the menu.

You also worked hard, scouting the area in your mighty warhorse Bean. She only allowed you to ride her if you were wearing the Power-Armor on. Apparently despite being very strong she wasn't very smart, and thought that you and the Power-armor were two different persons.

Every day you went a little bit further and explored more and more. By the end of the week you had explored most of the sourthern areas outside of your settlement. In the East there were some forests, to the west there was the coast and the town of Haleiwa, albeit you haven't entered yet. There is also a couple of highways and other rivers too, you might find something here someday. There are no signs of raiders or extremely dangerous critters for now.
