Hello and welcome to Safehouse Quest. This is my first quest here on /tg/, so hopefully we'll all have fun and I won't fuck it up too badly.

We've got a very simple system in this quest. Each post represents one day. Every day, options will be presented to you; these options represent possible projects for that day. In every post YOU make, you roll 1d100. The result will determine the quality of the action you've selected, as dictated by the chart below. The final result may be modified depending on numerous factors, such as supplies, weapons, and the like.

>91-100: Astounding success. Holy Hell, how did you pull this off?
>81-90: Exceptional success. A solid effort that will most certainly pay off.
>71-80: Above-Average success. Nothing great, but definitely nothing terrible either.
>46-70: Success. You got the job done. Good for you.
>21-45: Mild failure. A minor setback, but nothing you can't recover from.
>11-20: Failure. This might be a serious problem...
>01-10: Utter Failure. Dear God, how did it come to this? How?

I will accept the most numerous vote, and accept the LAST roll for that option.

Also, be on the look-out for occasional random encounters!

Your safehouse has a number of statistics that dictate its present status.

Location: This is where you and your desperate band are currently holed up. Each type of safehouse carries with it certain benefits and drawbacks.
Population: Think of this as the "HP" of your safehouse. Each point of Population represents 1 survivor. If you hit 1 Population, you're by yourself. If you hit 0, it's game over.
Food: This statistic represents your foodstuffs. Each survivor consumes 1 point of food per day. Should the number of survivors outnumber the food supplies, then 1 survivor will starve to death every other day until an equilibrium is reached.
Morale: Morale measures the general mood of your survivors, and is measured on a scale of -10 to 10. Morale is kept up and increased by succeeding often and by keeping your survivors alive and kind of happy. Morale is lost when you fuck up. If Morale ever hits -10, then your survivors decide that some other chuklefuck would do a better job at keeping you alive, and throw you to the undead.
Weapons: Weapons act as a modifer to rolls involving attack and defense, based on their quality. Each type of weapon provides a different modifer.
Tactics: Tactics aren't so much a statistic as a list of useful knowledge your survivors have. Scavenging techniques, marksmanship, camoflauge; all these things can give you an edge against the undead.
Supplies: This section provides a list of all non-food and non-weapon supplies you have, along with how much. Medical supplies, fuel, building materials, and more fall under this section.
Defenses: The defenses of your safehouse act as a modifer to rolls made to defend your safehouse from attack by both the undead and possible human opponents.

SAFEHOUSE #1: THE BUNKER
This small, backyard bunker was built by your crazy uncle. He always claimed the dead would rise to devour the living, but as far as you knew he'd fried his brain with drugs during the 80s. If he hadn't died of a car accident three years ago, he'd probably be in here now, with a shotgun and shelf full of baked beans.

>ADVANTAGE: The bunker was built with defense in mind. Permanent +25 to Defenses.
>DISADVATAGE: The bunker is kind of cramped, and doesn't have a whole lot of storage space. Supplies can never increase past "Common" rank.
>POPULATION CAP: 20


SAFEHOUSE #2: THE BASE
This spacious Air Force base has seen better days. The U.S. military lost their war against the undead, and thus abandoned numerous installations. This base was one of them. There's no planes and the commissary's almost empty thanks to looters, but the armory was sealed...well, up until you arrived.

>ADVANTAGE: The armory had some leftover guns and weapons. Your survivors begin play with Scarce Assault Rifles for weapons.
>DISADVANTAGE: The base is pretty damn conspicuous, and attracts attention. Zombie and raider attacks occur more frequently.
>POPULATION CAP: 100

SAFEHOUSE #3: THE HOTEL
This luxury hotel has plenty of room, and actually had some people living in it when you and your group moved in. After some initial...misunderstandings involving a sauce pan, a dead poodle, and a distraught Belgian tourist woman, you kicked those fucking squatters out of -your- hotel, and now you and your survivors live in unparalleled opulence.

>ADVANTAGE: This hotel has a still-working generator, running water, AC and heat, and a goddamn bar. Starting morale is +2
>DISADVANTAGE: The original occupants aren't happy about you kicking them out and eating their pets. Every so often, they may try to sabotage one of your projects. It might not be directly lethal, but the consequences might be.
>POPULATION CAP: 200

Sounds good, I'm in.

SAFEHOUSE #4: THE FARM
Your grandparent's farm was where you spent your childhood, or at least the occasional weekend. While happy memories might not be much defense against the living dead, the soil is fertile. At least you won't have to worry about starvation, probably.

>ADVANTAGE: It's a damn farm. This safehouse produces 10 Food per turn.
>DISADVANTAGE: You don't really have much to protect you, other than a spacious farmhouse, a barn, and some barbed wire. -20 to Defenses.
>POPULATION CAP: 50

SAFEHOUSE #5: THE SEWERS
Jesus Christ! You're living in the fucking sewers? That's just sick, man. But it does have some upshots. The undead can't seem to sniff you out down here, and raiders and looters know there's nothing worth taking in the sewer. Of course, just because you've found a dry chamber to live in doesn't mean you're not literally waist-deep shit.

>ADVANTAGE: The smell and general...unappealing nature of the sewer means that you'll almost never be attacked by the undead or by living humans.
>DISADVANTAGE: YOU ARE LIVING IN A FUCKING SEWER. THIS CANNOT BE HEALTHY. Every so often, a few survivors will die from illness. Because you're living in a fucking sewer.
>POPULATION CAP: 30

farm fags unite!!

Is it possible to abandon safehouse and look for a new one?

Is it possible to have backup safehouses?

I vote farm as well

Is it possible to, with admittedly a great deal of effort, quarantine an area of the sewer for habitation, perhaps with construction materials and so on, and obviate or reduce the disadvantage?

If so, I vote for sewers.

Otherwise, I'll be in your base.

>>22196481
I will permit you to move safehouses ONCE during the quest, though it counts as a project. You may only operate one safehouse at a time.

>>22196500
It may be possible. Difficult, but possible.

Good questions, though. I had yet to think of that.

Sewerfag, here.

by my count, that is 3 sewer, 3 farm, 3 base.

lol.

>>22196500


If we can do that, then we can construct a defensive barrier around the farm, at least arount the most important buildings.

CAPTCHA: Fortress ialirtk

>>22196532
Looks that way. I'll let the voting run for maybe another 15 or so minutes.

Sewer, we can handle a few deaths for the gains it will bring us.

Rolled 88

Go for the sewer. When everybody's dead, we mole people shall repopulate the earth!

>>22196532
Is there some sort of world event timeline or world stats?

For example, scavenging for food becomes harder with time, and the zombie population changes with weather or if you go on killing sprees.

>>22196518
So we can, with some effort and some rolls, change the disadvantages of certain safe houses over time? This is a pretty important concept.

I vote Farm, as well.

Stop same-faging. I'm looking at you farm-boys and sewer-fags.

>>22196560
Yes.

>>22196565
Also yes. It's not going to be easy, though.

>>22196612
Will we also be able to expand our areas of influence? Thinking about it again, I realize that we're pretty screwed if we go sewers and have no renewable food source.

Will having access to the farm get us simple firearms like a deer rifle, a .22 and/or a hunting shotgun?

>>22196632

There is plenty of things that will grow in a sewer.

assuming you havn;t chosen yet Imma go with base.

>>22196632
We can always scavenge for food and set up potatoe and other root veg type gardens down in the sewers. They would have to be raised above the shit filled water but it could work.

>>22196632
We could always eat rats....
I assume we're using the Max Brooks version of the virus?
animals are theoretically safe from infection.

>>22196632
To be honest, I wasn't planning on it. I'd like to keep this as simple as possible, and I already have far too many factors. Plus, the name of the game is more "group survival" than "Post-apocalyptic Civ Quest" (note to self: safe that for later).

>>22196641
It will. Your survivors start with Improvised Melee and Scarce Handguns for weapons.

>>22196658
that's correct. Well, sort of Brooksian, anyhow.

>>22196648
I have yet to choose. I will probably do so in roughly 10 minutes.

Though it seems as though the sewerfags are leading.

>mfw I realize what I have done by allowing mole people.

>>22196644
I had forgotten about that. We'll really need some proper sanitation, though, if we're going to keep everything contained in the sewer.

I was thinking of expanding out above ground by building some kind of additional structures. Expanding out of the sewer technically means these structures also need no ground-level entrances.

>>22196676
...but apparently that will not be relevant.

How long are you intending to run this for, anyway?

>>22196656
Vegetables will be tough, as there is little sunlight.
Mushrooms and the like need nutrients to grow, (like dead bodies and trash), though planting those will need a lot of luck.

Sewer, because if you aren't retarded it would be fairly easy to sanitize.

>>22196676
Although other options seem best for short-term survival, the farm seems the most renewable. We can trade surplus and set up defenses latter. Early game is going to be tough, though. This isn't a vote, as I've already voted.

bloody tripcode... forget one letter...

>>22196676

Brooks was WWZ right? I felt that book was over rated but whatever.

We'll be able to aquire chemistry sets, books, and the things required to make explosives and a reloading bench right?

>>22196694
>How long are you intending to run this for, anyway?

Until you all died horribly or I decide to bring this to an end.

Who am I kidding, you're all going to die screaming.

>>22196694

As one of the sewerfags I would totally vote against expanding above ground. It seems like it would neuter the benefits of the sewer.

If you're worried about poo-water a much better idea is constructing a dam or levee to redirect it into alternate channels. Maybe a strategic cave-in.

>>22196715
WWZ was over milking it.
read the zombie survival handbook.

>>22196694
>I was thinking of expanding out above ground by building some kind of additional structures.

This would probably take away some of that safety bonus.

>>22196730
The point of being in the sewer is that the stench and filth will keep others away but kill off our own population.

If we sanitize the sewer enough that its no longer a problem that will lead to us losing the very thing that keeps the undead and bandits away.

if you want to go underground go with the bunker and we can start expanding it once we have some people top heft shovels and pick axes.

>>22196699
lettuces, cabbages, spinach, swiss chard and endive, broccoli, potatoes, beets, turnips and carrots, cauliflower, peas, brussels sprouts will all grow with little sunlight (although obviously they wont be
as good). So we can definetly make due.

Zombies could fall into open manholes or drains and never climb out.
GM declares the sewers safe from zombies, but I seriously doubt that.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CEASE VOTING.

I WILL HAVE AN UPDATE MOMENTARILY

>>22196762
Perhaps merely a central habitation area that is sanitized, while all the buffer area surrounding it remains as sewer?

>>22196794
This.

>>22196762

I don't want to sanitize the sewer. I'm fine with living with the danger of it. But I would compromise and accept the risk of a dry creche in the center of a morass of toxic tunnels.

>>22196762

Sanitizing the sections we're living in. Everything else stays covered in shit. It's not like raiders would notice until they were already in our territory, and if we don't have guards to stop that kind of thing...

>>22196747
Meh, his virus felt kinda dumb to me. The zombies popping out of ice in alaska very year, the zombies somehow running around 10 years later after supposedly being dead...

yeah, yeah I know. "Zombies+Logic=Autism" but I always felt that going full apocalypse with it was done best by romero and that its better to play with zombies. Turn 'em into bioweapons and put 'em alongside genetically engineered killing machines and stuff.

>>22196792

Safer*

>>22196810
You do realize that without penicillen, rubbiong alcohol or similar substances the sewers basically become lethal to anyone with so much as a scratch in their skin? Infection is no laughing matter and you can die light scratch if a particularly nasty breed a germ gets in there.

>>22196832
I agree WWZ is dumb, and his books are lacking in plot and drama, but the beauty of his series is that it takes the absurd notion of zombies in a very real and practical light.

Other series have more nightmare fuel or symbolic meanings, but his series is just that much believable.

>>22196861

I'm actually going to let the GM run the game and not you, asshole. Its super clear that you have many opinions and that is awesome. You vote your way and I'll vote mine.

Jesus Christ, who the Hell is crazy enough to live in the sewers? Evidently, you are. what's worse is that the nine other people following you are going along with it.

It's not a bad idea, really. Hiding in the sewers. Sure it reeks, but that way the zeds can't sniff you out. You still have to be careful, but it's easier to avoid them in the dark, reeking tunnels. You know. Provided you see them before they notice you.

There used to be 11 of you.

It takes a day or so, but you find a nice, dry chamber. You block off the door with some easily-moved debris, build a small campfire, and lay down your sleeping bags. And pray the smell will wash off of your skin...

I voted my way, I was assuming that we were having a conversation and I was raising my concerns. OP chose sewers, whatever. Me disagreeing with you isn't cause to throw slurs. When I say I hope you have fun with the quest I am expressing a genuine desire that you enjoy the game of pretend that OP is crafting for us even though I think this was a dumb choice. Hard mode engaged I guess.

>>22196891
My problem with the series is that it "looks" real but falls apart under a microscope. Assuming the body was infested by an organism that reanimated it it wouldn't be a virus, it'd probably be a fungus or a bacteria. As far as I'm concerned Brooks stuff is fiction and isn't any more realistic than the comet that Romero placed the blame on in Night of the Living dead.

but hey opinions right? You read the comic based on... was it WWZ or Zombie Survival Guide? I recall there being a cool story about romans and zombies. Nice stuff.

Rolled 36

>>22196968

Dammit, forgot to roll.

>>22196980
No, actually what we have to worry about is the bacteria and fungi that are ALREADY there from years of previous use.

>>22196861
Moonshining is a priority as well as stealing what we need to grow penicillin. It is just a mold after all.

So far, it looks as though searching for comfort goods is leading.

>>22196993
Alas, I must go with what my audience chooses. Such is the nature of running a quest such as this.

I don't think we should improve defenses until we're sure of where we're staying. Look for the largest, driest area we can find. Or perhaps somewhere with other amenities, because, hey, we just might find something worth finding. Then fortify that location.

So yeah, explore and scavenge at the same time is my opinion.

>>22197012
This.

Moonshining is a priority whether or not we're in the sewer. Alcohol is too useful when you're main threat is a disease.

Besides, people are better off drinking their troubles away than killing themselves.

______________________
You send a small scouting party out into the sewers to map the tunnels out. The better you know your new environment, the better you can bend it to your advantage.

And you need that advantage. Soon. The fate of the scouting party proved that much. One of the four you sent out dropped his guard for all of three seconds. That was all it took for the walker he didn't notice to bit him.

It's a small bit, to be sure. It barely broke the skin. But he's still infected. Some time within the next 72 hours, he'll be one of them. Given the lack of depth to the wound, he's likely looking at the latter end of that scale.

The scouting party, panicking after their mishap, turns back.

You hate to do it. You hate to do this. But you're the leader. These people are looking to you to keep them safe.

"You've got one day." you tell the bitten scout. "One day to get everything in order, say good-bye to your friends. We'll...We'll try to make it as painless as we can." you promise, your hand gripping the bottle of sleeping pills in your hoodie's pocket. He nods, his eyes brimming with tears. He knows it's the end, and that ugly truth is hard for anyone to confront.

But at least you didn't bash his skull in as soon as he came back.

The next morning, as a group of three are leaving to look for food on the surface, the bitten man downs the entire bottle and settles down on his sleeping bag.

Jason Henderson dies in his sleep.

Meanwhile, there is good news. The group heading topside found a semi-truck that was headed to a supermarket. A good chunk of the food is bad, but much of the canned stuff isn't. They carry back a few armloads.

There, see? A little bit of compassion goes a long way. If you're going to kill a man at least be polite.

"...and in the fullness of times we can have a burial but until then we'll just have to wrap him up and stash him someplace..."

Hey, man. Nailguns get critical hit bonuses in New Vegas. I think they're a decent thing to look for.

D develop tactics:
sewer camouflage.
Experiment with rubbing sewage on our faces and clothes, while crouching in water or dark corners to look like a pile of trash
Zeds can't smell and have poor eyesight, so we should be able to hide.
Raiders will also not expect people to hide like that, so we can ambush them if they dare come down to our turf

>>22197569
Only problem with them is you need to muck around with the safety features. Most of them are either electric or pnuematic and the either version might be difficult to refuel/recharge once the battery runs down/the air tank runs dry.

______________________
The day after Jason's death, you hold a small service for him. It's brief, as are many things in life these days. A short eulogy about Jason's life, or what little of it you knew. Through it all, he was zipped up in his sleeping bag.

After the service, you and a few other "pallbearers" dragged him out to a nearby dry tunnel. You cremated him as best as you could, taking the sleeping bag, and his clothes, back to camp. It seems ghoulish, to steal from a dead man just after his funeral. But supplies are supplies.

While this is going on, another trio of scavengers goes topside. They spend the next few hours poking through a Home Depot. Much of what was here is gone, but a small collection of electric nailguns is found, along with copious amounts of nails for them. A few hours' worth of work back in your sewer home, and you've got a few impromptu weapons that are quiet, deadly, and have quite a large magazine.

Days six. You've almost survived a week down in this reeking pit. It was rough at first but today, God or fate or Lady Luck or whoever smiled down on you all.

A second team went to gather as much as they could from the semi. On the way there, they found an even better prize. A minivan, speeding down the road at a breakneck pace. The vehicle struck one of the undead milling about of Main Street, sending it into the wall of the post office. The driver, probably headed west towards one of the alleged "safe zones" the government set up, was killed on impact.

His cargo, however, was miraculously unharmed. Boxes and boxes of cans, other boxes, and tins, all full of food. Cheap stuff from the grocery, like pork & beans and Vienna sausages...and a small case of cheap wine! What made this even better? The scavenging team looted the entire damn minivan before a single geek showed up to investigate the ruckus the crash made.

Today isn't all smiles, though. Two of you are dead by dusk. That asshole shitting in everyone's sleeping bags? He turned out to have cholera, along with another of you.

Doug Edderson and Nancy Gerhardt died shitting themselves in the dark.

Still, even with a net loss of three people, spirits are slightly better than they have been in recent days. the wine probably helped with that.

Two more corpses burned, this time with their sleeping bags and clothes, just in case. "We live in a fucking sewer! And yet it never once occurred to you all that drinking the sludge down here was a bad idea?"

Sometimes, you wonder if you're leading a group of people, or a pack of walkers. they seem about as smart as them, sometimes.

"Okay. From this point forwards, everyone boils their water. Twice. Now, I don't want us all surviving the geeks just to die from the fucking flu."

The rest of the day is spent tidying up the shithole you call home. Water is collected and boiled, clothes and sleeping bags are washed, walls are scrubbed...a lucky few even manage to sneak some personal cleaning time in.

Day Nine.

A pair of scavengers were sent up top to siphon fuel from abandoned vehicles for the generator. Unfortunately, they failed to noticed that they had been spotted by unfriendly forces. A sudden shot rang out from the treeline near the highway.

Joseph Carter died bleeding from a gunshot wound to the chest.

The other scavenger booked it back underground, leaving a half-filled gas can behind.

Meanwhile, more severed body parts have been thrown into the "sacrificial tunnel". The combination of plopping noises and rotting flesh attracts a small group of the undead. Thankfully, they're all dispatched without anyone dying or being bitten. Still, the attack was a shock, and people are a little jittery now.
