bump...please somebody see this thread

You chose a poor time to start a fallout thread given there's already a fallout quest that is 7 threads deep up, not only that but the system and skills in those pics are pretty unintuitive and doesn't allow players to jump in, also no one is gonna invest the time to draw a character in a thread which may only be a one shot nor are they likely to spend time messing about with allocatable stats (and everyone knows the meat of fallout is the perks anyway), you should have just given three text character options with no stats but background (you could allocate stats later) and a write in option, the key to running a good quest is to read a lot of other quests and learn what works and what doesn't, good luck for the future op

>>1515222
Well thanks for the advice.
DESU you don't have to draw the character, this definitely wont be a one shot if people actually play. I guess I completely forgot to mention perks (I would have figured people would pick up on that), I'm not showing perks until they actually level up.

And for those who don't want to put too much time into it I have premade characters.

You stand among 4 other members of the vault 1 graduating class, those people being Blake,Rick,Dade,and Mable. There is a countdown as the vault door is about to open, exposing you all to the wasteland. Before it opens though, the overseer walks over to you and pulls you aside, and makes a request of you.

"Listen, I know this may be alot for the last minute, but I'm sure you've noticed, nobody coming back. It's concerning, and if people keep dissapearing the vault could be endanger of under-population and dying out. I've been looking for someone to help, someone who can find out what's going on and stop it, and I think that someone is you. The others, they're just not the type, they're full of themselves, or unable or unwilling to do what's necessary. This is my last request of you, do not come back until it's complete."

The door opens, revealing a swampy, boggy area with a few dry spots to walk, the entire group begins walking onto a beaten path without you.

>>1515454
Make sure we have our pistol out and ready

>>1515542
I'm assuming you follow them then?

>>1515569
Yeah why not. We can loot their bodies when they die

Please clarify, is there no rolling? Just RP? Also jesus christ that distribution makes my soul hurt.

>>1515586
No rolling, Just Rp

>>1515585
You follow the group without joining them, luckily they're all too stupid to notice you. They make it to a small town built over a dock of some sort, there are many poeple in this town wearing metal necklaces of some sort with a light on them

>>1515593
Try to wait until one of these people leave to go on the outskirts to take a piss so we can whack him

>>1515603
You wait but nobody leaves town, you see the rest of the class talking to these people though, due to your high perception (Honestly with a perception of 16 you basically have super hearing) you are able to figure out that the people with the metal necklaces are slaves. The other members of the group notice you standing on the outskirts of town (This is fallout, so a small town is really the size of an IRL neighborhood)

>>1515632
I guess we walk up to the group and see what they're about

>>1515658
The group are at a store or stand of some sort, Rick is up front talking to the cashier who is a slave "So how much does someone like you...go for?"

Nobody seems to notice your sudden appearence except Mable, who is in the back of the group
"Oh ,(Oh shit, you weren't given a name, decide a name now I guess), nice to see you're finally out of the woods. You've been following us for a while, always where the strong silent type, eh?"

>>1515679
>Magnus
"I just wanted to make sure you guys didn't walk into a trap."

>>1515692
"A trap? You worry too much" Mable says. she tells everyone else that you are here with them and rick turns back "Hey, Magnus, buddy. My little anti-dade, can I borrow some caps? We're trying to pool money to buy a slave."
Blake then interjects "We're not buying her to use her for labor, we're gonna set her free."

>>1515699
"How would it make sense to buy something fairly expensive just to let it go? Put your moral compasses away and think clearly for a second. If we get stuck out here with no money, we are fucked. However, if in the future we are not only surviving but thriving, then we will come back and free them all."

>>1515705
" then we will come back and free them all."
At that line, a whole bunch of people with leather armor and assult rifles look over at you agressively. Rick yells at you "LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" and pulls out his SMG, holding it high in the air. The Slavers then point their guns at the group, as Blake tries to reason "EVERYONE CALM DOWN"

>>1515716
"HEY WHAT THE FUCK! I NEVER SAID WE'LL KILL THE SLAVERS AND DANCE ON THEIR CORPSES, I MEANT WE'LL BUY THE SLAVES AND FREE THEM!"

>>1515721
Blake relays that into a more personable way "Don't worry everyone, it's a false alarm. We're planning on BUYING the slaves to free them, nothing violent." Rick puts his gun away, and while the slavers do go about their business, they keep their guns at the ready.

>>1515730
"Well there you guys go, that's why I'm the silent type. Can we go now?`"

>>1515739
They all give a bit of a silent "yeah", nodding and such. Everyone pretty much assumes you group leader.

>>1515752
Huh. Well then we better ask around about the general area around us. Maybe ask a friendly looking slaver or slave.

The casheir at the current shop tells you about two cities in opposite direction of each other, one area to the north, a large city called "The trop", some old colesium or something, full of rich people. and an area to the south called "Outland" where all the scum settles.

>>1515771
Well if we want to make money and survive, we are going to need to do some jobs. Lets go see if those rich people need anything done for them.

>>1515775
You start walking north to "the trop", following a wooden pathway above the more murkey flooded swamp areas, but the party gets tired as night falls. For you the day is just begining, but they begin to get tired. "I need sleep" Says dade, as midnight hits

>>1515782
>>1515782
Alright, I'll take watch tonight, but lets find a more stable ground to sleep on. I'd rather not get attacked by fish people

>>1515788
(OP, going to bed for the night. I'll continue this tomorrow)

>>1515796
Goodnight

You stay up all night, watching the team, but by the time they all wake up you're tired.

>>1517191
"Alright so because I took watch all night, someone is going to have to carry me as I sleep. It's a pain in the ass, but it's how we're going to do it."

can I join please?

>>1517226
Of course.

I thank you kindly, in that case, may I be
dade the brute with the mysterious stranger and sturdy build traits? I thank you very much
I can play for an hour

are we waiting for the op? or the other player I'm unsure

(You're all controlling one character fir now, this Magnus)
"Are you kidding me?" Yells rick, as he gets up in your face "you chose to stay up, we could've taken turns!"
Mable agrees as do the other two. It seems they're less considerate than you thought.

>>1517262
thank you for the information,
"would you have thanked me for it? waking you up out of your comfortable sleep"

This is OP, BTW posting from a different device

>>1517262
>>1517264
this is OP got it

>>1517262
"I was always a night person, able to stay up into the wee hours of the morning. I would have thought you guys knew that. How do we get around this then?"

>>1517263
"Would have been much happier than carrying your huge ass!" With your high perception yku can tell he's terrified, shaking and sweating.

Mable begins to speak before a plasma round splits the group, Dade, Blake and Rick on one side and Mable on the other.

You turn to see a man in am armoured vault suit with the number 7 on it. And two men in leather armour. The vault 7 giy has a plasma rifle.

Before you have time to react Rick has already pulled out his SMG and began firing a burst at the raiders.

yell to get in cover and then if its night, run back and circle round, if day retreat slightly and snipe at them, hopefully antagonise them if they aim at the defensless

>>1517276
>>1517276
You and Rick both have the same idea. The two of you hide behind seperate trees on opposite ends of the wooden path. Blake just stands there and shoots at the asailents, getting shot in the arm by one of the men wearing leather and weilding a hunting rifle. Dade runs at them with his bat. You manage to shoot the leftmost raider in the head.

mable get to rick, keep him tended, rick get down
blake keep dade covered with suppressing fire, and I will be back.

fire at the head and relocate to the flank with less raiders

before hand call out to "cease fire and you wont be shot"

>>1517292
this

remember to alter my plans if you find fault with them, two heads are better than one

>>1517300
Mable gets to rick, but blake is out for the count. He's not very tough and one shot to the arm was all it took. Dade begins smashing the vault 7 raider to the ground before you get behind them and Rick has already shot the last one. The one in the vault suit appears to still be alive, though not for long if dade continues.

Pull him off. We need information

mable heal blake, dade lay off rick come with me

turn the living raider up agains a tree or prop then let the tortue begin

"hiya mate, now your going to tell me why you attacked us, then you will tell me anything else I want, or my friends here will begin to hurt you and they don't like you after you shot their mate"
use I knife or peaice of metal and ram it into their wepon hand..
chaotic good don't mean chaotic nice

I may have to go, but I do hope you all enjoy the quest.
and my tips for the scum, kill him after but make it so that the party is out of sight when it happens, save their sanity at the cost of our own

>>1517317
Mable heals blake as dade holds him against a tree. Dade gives you his knife. As you begin to tell him "you're gonna tell us why you attacked us-" mabe cuts you off "OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THIS MAN!? LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO HIS FRIENDS ISN'T THAT ENOUGH!?"

>>1517330
Just pull the man a little inland away from the group. They don't have to see it

>>1517344
You take him deeper into the woods and tell the others they don't need to see it. Rick follows you though, he likes blood. From the information you've gathered, these guys have no vendetta against you specifically. They're one of many groups called raiders. They "take what they want" and "kill who they feel like". Rick's eyes light up at this statement.

Shall you kill him or let him go?

>>1517430
Kill him. These raiders know no semblance of peace and loyalty

>>151743
With one blast in the head from your 10mm pistol he's dead in a pile of his own head. Rick says he wants the guy's old rifle.

You leveled up to level 2, you have 15 new skill points to spend and can choose a perk.

>Eagle Vision: your perception is so good you can see people and certain items through thin walls

>Lady killer: You have an aura that makes women love you, and you're more of a charmer when it comes to them.

>Confined Bachelor: You have an aura that makes men love you, and you're more of a charmer when it comes to them.

>Nightvision: not just do you have amazing perception, but you're acclimated to the night, and can see just as well at night as in the day

>>Nightvision: not just do you have amazing perception, but you're acclimated to the night, and can see just as well at night as in the day
Well I think I know what character we're going for.

As for the skills, I would like to put ten into sneak, and 5 into lockpick

>>1517483
Sneak isn't a skill in this. It's just a thing you do. Your skills rn that the other players chose is the four default: guns, unarmed, energy, mele, and the two chisen, lockpick and hacking.

>>1517491
Ah okay well in that case we'll just go with 10 in lock picking and 5 in guns

>>1517501
>>1517501
I'm actually using my phone rn. I'll update the character sheet when I get home.

Okau, you kill the man and you and Rick return to the group, rick looting the man. Mable is crying j to Blake's shoulder and dade simply looks annoyed.

>>1517526
"Alright guys, we do have a ways to go before we reach our destination. I am tired and cranky, so let's get moving before I become angry."

Too bad this quest was running while I was asleep. It's better than the fallout quest with >2000 replies imo

>>1517576
You continue and by evening you aproach a giant city. With your intelligence you're able to figure out that this city "The trop" was built in an old baseball stadium "The tropicana feild". a man in metal armor walks up to the group "STATE YOUR BUSINESS HERE, VAULT DWELLERS!"

>>1518498
Tell the guards we came here looking for some missing people.

>>1518513
you tell the guard and he seems convinced, but remember that you where the only one who where given the mission. The others look at each other in confusion, muttering to themselves before rick interjects "HAHA, good one, Magnus. no,no, we're here exploring the wasteland

>>1518547
God damn it. Now we'll look really suspicious to the guards. Just let the others say that we want explore the town unless the guards ask us something else.

>>1518577
Lets do this

"Hahaha" The gaurd laughs "I'm just messing with ya, it's pretty funny to see newbies freak out at the big scary gaurd. Come in, come in."

You walk into this enourmous city, the feild lined with stands. There's general stores, bars, even car stores. One building stands out, a large black building with an E on it.

>>1518658
Ask a bystander what's with the big E building

>>1518667
"Oh...that's some...foreign government shit, or...I dunno man. They don't let many people in.

File: the_enclave_logo_by_nukac(...).jpg (11 KB, 320x320)

11 KB JPG

>>1518680

Their logo is just a big letter, they're probably just a breakfast cereal.

>Go into the big E
>Rummage through all the foot lockers, cabinets, and bookshelves for free stuff

>>1518760
You enter the building and are greeted by a large man in metal armor, there is also a woman in a black uniform with purple hair sitting at a desk. This seems to be a waiting room. The man speaks "I already told you mongrels to-" He is shocked as he turns around to see you "Oh, a...vault dwellers. uh, hi, my names Shadiver" He holds his hand out to you.

greetings shadiver, we are as you quessed vault dwellers now I would like to request information from you or any subordinates on the wasteland, mercs, raider hotspots, the power armore and any jobs that we may assist in for a fee

tell the others to be quiet

and to be cheeky if you want,

furthermore we are not dogs of any kind, but if there are strays about we might adopt it

>>1518771
Give him a firm Strength 1 handshake

I like the hand shake, but I like my hands more so are you sure he wont break it?

OP here, Just got back from school. will continue quest n about 30 min

k

while we do the above stuff, also look for the best place to get in cover and other threats

are people here?

>>1520987
>Look for strategic points.
The building itself is highly secure, with bullet resistant windows. The best places for cover would be an overturned coffee table and the desk that the purple-haired girl is at.

>greetings shadiver, we are as you quessed vault dwellers now I would like to request information from you or any subordinates on the wasteland, mercs, raider hotspots, the power armore and any jobs that we may assist in for a fee.

He quickly snaps back, almost instantly "There's a slaver town to the south known as ricketsville, a raider haven to the north and we have a base neerby.
but there's a more important issue, Humans are hard to come by in the wasteland, and I'm glad you happened by."

whats the job? -rub fingers in money sign- "is it valuble?"

>>1521080
>whats the job? -rub fingers in money sign- "is it valuble?"

"It's more than just a job. You see, we represent the only true government around here; The Enclave. Those people out there, they might look like humans but they aren't, they're mutated beasts, and they'll kill you the first chance they get. We are made up of humans and I was wondering if you wanted to join us, become a member of the Enclave. We're always looking for more humans, and if you point any our way, you'll be payed in kind."

now my friend I am not discriminatory, but how mutated are we talking?
"ghouls" I belive they are called [if we know what they are] I will turn in, but only when the ybecome useless and finaly be a good little soilder and tell me where your commanding officer is

[made a mistake there, just ignore the first part, skip to take me to the CO]

>>1521120
(You havent heard of ghouls yet, also I know little about the army so the terminology is gonna be off)
"I'm not discriminitory. Now be a good little soilder and tell me where your commanding officer is" You say

"YOU TALKING DOWN TO ME!? I'M THE TOP DOG -" He is cut off by the women, previously quiet.

"SHADAIVER!" He stops. The woman walks over to you "I'm sorry about him. Listen, I think what he was trying to say was; It's a cruel wasteland, everyone is against you. We're trying to rebuild america to it's former glory. There's not many of us left and, sadly, Shadaiver here is the highest ranked member in a 40 mile radius."

You notice two things with your high perception; 1) Shadaiver has not taken of his power armour and you are yet to see his face, and 2) they are speaking vaguely.
(Also try to seperate what you know of the enclave from other fallout stories from this, your character dosn't know them yet)

[I don't know of the enclave, I only played fallout 4]
"I appoliges mister shadaiver, it is simply I wanted to see how you would react, evidently you are more of a action being than negotiator.
I have only three terms for joining your organisation; one you can point me and my group in a good direction with reliable information, two you can and will out fit our party with any spare supplies wepons medical or food. and finaly you would remove your helm so we may meet eye to eye"

>>1521184
this

>>1521196
nice to have you back mate, two heads are better than one

>>1521184
I can do 2/3, I don't take off this helmet, you got Zoneyetta's face if you need one." he looks to the woman "Go get them some equipment" He looks back to you "There's a library in the city, and a trading post two miles west, those are great places to exchange information" Zoneyetta returns with some supplies for you; 3 Enclave uniforms (Consisting of a grey dress shirt, with two chest pockets, a black pair of pants, a black armband with the enclave logo on it, and black combat boots), 2 suits of military-grade combat armour, one plasma pistol, 2 plasma grenades, and 4 med-Xs

>>1521239
she also gives you each one card saying you're an enclave citizen

the combat armour to dade and mable,
med stuff to mable and we take the plasma pistol the grenades go to rick.
don't put on the uniforms as we want to be incognito.

[I got to go, have fun, ill cheak up in the morning

Don't get us killed]
where is the enclave base? and ask the girl why the bloke wont remove his helm

>>1521254
Alright this post matches up with the skills of the group so we'll go with this

>>1521254
Zoneyetta wispers back "He's afraid of the radiation from the wasteland, it's a layer of seperation from the world. The base is a bit further west than the trading post.

>>1521272
AH was this the post we were supposed to respond to?

>>1521402
yeah, I've been waiting on you guys

>>1521438
Ah shit, well sorry.

We should of course follow them. I love the Enclave

>>1521471
follow them? They aren't going anywhere. they're staying in the city (Remember, Magnus doesn't know about them the way you do. Also I'm actually anti-enclave IRL so I'm sorry if I'm not that great at showing them from a protagonist perspective, but I try)

>>1521476
I'm not trying to direct your quest for you. All I care about is having our MC be successful.

Well if we don't have anything important to do right now, we could look to see if we have anything to do, unless we have something to do (Besides look for the missing people)

>>1521519
You look about town and you see a few shops and homes
>General store
>Water merchants
>Automobile
>Orange Armory
>Library

there's also the trading post, the town to the south of ricketsville, ricketsville, and the enclave base out of town.

>>1521581
>>Water merchants
Well lets go see if these people need something

>>1521596
The man at the counter of the water shop has no nose, and skin pealing off and stingy hair. It's one of the most disgusting thing you've ever seen. is this one of the mutants Shadiver told you about?

"Hello, Vault dwellers, welcome to the oasis, how much water you looking to buy today?"

>>1521623
"Actually my good man, I was hoping you had a job for me. I am new in town and was hoping there was work to be found."

>>1521636
"Good man? Damn, I've met vault dwellers trying not to freak out at me, but DAMN. Hahahaha. Can you do security? We got a supply run going out tonight, you help them get to their delivery and back, and how about....100 caps each?"

>>1521646
Before I answer QM, are there perception checks that we can run? Instead of just using pure charisma like Fallout 4?

>>1521651
(I don't do rolls, so much, I feel like that slows everything down. The stats used depend on your aproach. You could do inteligence to trick him in negotiation, or strength for intimidation, but charisma would still be the main way. again, the stats are just there to reference for most. I enjoy story more, if you can squeeze more caps out of him in character then be my guest. )

>>1521661
Alright, sounds good

>>1521646
Listen, from what I've seen and noticed from this wasteland, clean water is hard to come by, and a large supply is worth it's weight in gold. 125 is a much fairer and sensible deal. (I tried to use perception here, but I understand if I didn't "perceive" well enough

>>1521661
But also charisma isn't just for negotiation. all of these stats work in a more general way. If you're uncharasmatic people will probobly not like you that much, and if you're very perceptive you notice the smallest, most minute details.

>>1521690
He scoffs at you "we don't pay our mercs based on what we're transporting, we pay you based on your skill, and your so fucking green we shouldn't be paying you 20 caps! Sadly, we have a minimum and you're....minimum. listen, we're pouring out 500 caps on you guys right now" You're able to take alot from his demenor. He's been pushed around too much in his life, and has grown hard, and angry. Despite working for water merchants he's obviously dehydrated.

>>1521719
What about you though? What do you get out of this deal? I have seen dehydration before, and you're obviously suffering from it. Where's your water?

>>1521738
"No 'a your FUCKING business, you're getting 500 caps, they meet here at 10 PM, now unless you want to buy water yourself go away!" He looks scared and angry that you knew that without him telling you. His anger comes from his fear. You also notice that his dislike of you may come from seeing you exit the enclave base. Rick and Dade are seething with rage, you can tell that one more outburst of this water merchant will set them off.

>>1521774
Well we got the information we needed from him, so lets just go and explore for a few hours. He'll come in handy in the future

>>1521818
Stores include
>General store
>Automobile
>Orange Armory
>Library

>>1521835
>>Automobile
Lets see what the deal is with this

>>1521863
You see a charasmatic man wearing a tophat walking on top of a car with a cane
"STEP RIGHT UP, STEP RIGHT UP! CHECK OUT THE NEW AND INPROVED FORD NUCLEAR FUSION 2060! OR OUR LINE OF MOTERCYCLES! THESE BABIES CAN GET YOU THROUGH THE WASTELAND WITH STYLE AND PROTECTION! AND WITH COUSTOM KEYS, THERE'S NO WORRY ABOUT RAIDERS STEALING YOUR RIDE!"
he looks over and sees rick
"HEY THERE FELLA, YOU LOOK LIKE A RIDING GUY! WHADDAYA SAY, WANNA TAKE OUT A BIKE FOR A TEST RIDE?"

>>1521869
"Hey buddy, the apocalypse called. There aren't supposed to be working vehicles anymore."

>>1521903
"Hehe, since when? Listen, I don't know what they teach ya in the vault, but it's been hundreds of years." He yells loud enough for people on the streets to hear "HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF ADVANCEMENT, IN HYBRID GASOLINE-NUCLEAR POWER!

>>1521903
Gasoline AND nuclear energy? Why not one or the other?

>>1521928
He yells loud enough for a crowd again "WHY, MORE OPTIONS OF COURSE! FUEL IS HARD TO COME BY, BUT ANY FUEL WILL DO! COMBUSTION, FUSION, AND COMING SOON, SOLAR!

>>1521941
And what would the price be for this "AMAZING MACHINE"?

>>1521941
you're unsure if his statements are true, but he seems to believe what he's saying.

>>1521958
For the car? 10,000 caps, for the bike, 1,000. but it looks like the bike has caught mr.mowhawk's attention.

You look over to see Rick's eye lit up, It's the sight of true love, and you KNOW love. He looks at this bike the same way young lovers look at each other, and you see the sorrow in his eyes knowing he can't afford it. He turns around and stands in the back of the group, Pulling out and Injecting himself with mourphine (Med-x)

>>1521984
>Injecting himself with mourphine
kek

"And did you fix up these machines yourself?"

>>1522013
(check >>1514949 , he has the "Drug addict" trait >>1514946. In the origional beta for fallout Med-x was just morphine, it's just a nickname. PRAISE KEK)

"Some of them." He shouts "VEHICLES FROM ALL OVER THE WASTELAND! THE TOP MECHANICS IN THE WORLD WORK ON SOME OF THESE CARS!"

>>1522028
Have you tried them all to make sure they work for more than a week?

>>1522045
He jumps down, with both his hand on his cane.
"You listen here kid, I don't need so many questions. You're making me look bad, do you want a test drive to prove they work!?" Rick runs to the front "I WANT A TEST DRIVE!"

>>1522071
Alright, give my friend a test drive. If it works, we might remember you when we have some extra caps

Rick laughs and walks to the front, talking to you "You know I'm the only one who knows how to drive around here right" He pats your chest before hoping on the bike and holding his hand out to the salesman. "keys" he hands rick the keys. Rick starts the engine and it's super loud. He rides wrecklessly around town almost hitting many pedestirans, though he seems to be doing this pourposefully. The salsman looks unphased by this as rick rides back and stops inches away from him, before hopping off and throwing him the keys.

The whole city seems to be mad and the salesman tries to calm them down "SEE EVERYONE, OUR TOP QUALITY MERCHENDICE CAN BE USED BY EVEN UNEDUCATED BLUES! NO SKILL REQUIRED EASY RIDE" He wispers to you "Play along and there's a few caps in it for you.

>>1522136
"HE'S RIGHT! I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO AMAZING BEFORE IN MY LIFE!"

>>1522154
after some time you're able to calm down the civilians and it gets dark, around 10PM, you hear a bell ring.

Well lets mosey on down to the water store and get ready for our job.

You make it to the water traders in time and the man from before introduces you to the team. along with them is a cart with multiple barrels of water on it "Team, these are the newbies. NOW, for all of you, this is Carl, he is the leader, what he says goes. You are carrying 300 gallons of water to Whirlhaven. YOU WILL ENCOUNTER NIGHTKIN, now, if you return you will be payed, if you do not, we will send a search party. If that party FINDS you, they will KILL you. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

>>1522663
"Why would the search party kill us? Is it because they think we did it on purpose?"

>>1522671
"well, if you don't steal our water, and do your job, that shouldn't be an issue. Oh, fuck, YOU KNOW WHAT I MENT, IF IT GET'S STOLEN THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY, SMOOTHSKIN!"

>>1522705
Aye Aye captain. We will deliver the water with grace

>>1522717
"Get fucking going."(OP here, going to bed for the night again.)

i look forward to playing to night

>>1522721
before we go buy a bottle of water, hand it to the ghoul with the following "I am unsure why you are dehydrated but I don't like it. now have a drink and be alive when we get back okay"

being friendless will kill you faster in the wasteland than being weponless

>I can pick locks and I use them everyday
Okay, so?

I'm here now. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A LIFE

You head off towards your destination with your water supply, and get to know the other memebers of your group; Carl is the leader and very insecure. He flaunts his power and tries to assert his dominance over the team, there is tension between him and Rick. Mason speaks with a 'gangsta' accent and seems to be okay with his place below Carl, but still above you. Maribelle is a HUGE woman, not as large as dade, but very strong. Parts of her skin are peeling off and her hair is falling out, simaler but not as bad as the guy from earlier. She is wearing a vault suit, but the number is covered by a leather jacket. She is an "Alpha". all togeather the mercinaries have a 'pecking order' and act almost like animals in that sense. Their pecking order is Carl>Maribelle>Mason.

You spend some time on the road, what do you do?

bump

>>1525264
Sorry man, I was doing some shit.


Anyway, we should go up to the Alpha and get to know her. Ask how long she has been doing this

"Around 5 or 6 years now I've been working for Maxwell." She scratches her skin, she seems to be emberassed by her physical condition, but not in the vain way of most, she seems to think she is seen as weak. "It's a tough job, but the pay is worth it. I was pretty prepared straight out of the vault though, unlike alot of the other vault dwellers I've met"

>>1525714
Really? Why were you more prepared than others?

>>1525733
"From what I've been able to tell, every vault has some kind of gimmick. Our vault had a huge stockpile of steroids and a top of the line workout equipment. Compared to..." She looks over at Dade, shivers and looks back to you "MOST other poeple, we're beasts."

>>1525815
Huh. Ours had a thing where we had to send a group of people out every set of time. We didn't have much to help us survive. Some of my members are having a rough time coming to terms.

>>1525846
"I can tell, that redhead girl looks like she could break down at any second, and the cowboy looking fella is taking advantage of her.-"

You notice a large blue man out in the distance. You are in an open area with muddy ground and trees surrounding you.

>>1525880
Try to really focus on him. But my intuition is telling me it's a Nightkin

>>1525891
He's verry far off, he seems to be running toward you but you cant tell why. as he gets closer you can see his is very large, around the same size as dade, and wearing nothing but a fur speedo and a metal harness. Mason readies his gun but Carl whispers to him and he puts it down.

>>1525910
Well the pros certainly know what they are doing, so we'll follow their lead

'the pros' step back, leaving you and your group in front as the large blue man comes closer
"ME BALTARD, BALTARD WANT WATER!"

>>1525933
If you want this water, you are going to need to pay for it

>>1525933
Let Dade do the talking. He should be able to perfectly communicate with this guy (like an Int 1 Chosen One talking to Torr in Fallout 2)

>>1525938
Carl tells you "We cant sell this on the road, it's going to a specific place and they need a specific ammount" Baltard yells again
"HUMAN GIVE BALTARD WATER, OR BALTARD KILL HUMAN!"

>>1526111
Baltard, do you want all the water you could ever want? More than you could get from us puny humans?
>>1526036
kek

>>1526140
"Hahaha, Baltard smarter than that, not ALL humans puny." He looks at Dade and pulls out an axe "GIVE BALTARD WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

>>1526147
Well it looks like we're opening fire unless Dade has something to say

>>1526140
remember you have >>1518511 1 charisma, talking your way out wont work, your best bet us to think your way out.

>>1526159
>I now regret not being involved in creating our character

>>1526158
Oh dade's got something to say. "IT'S OUR WATER, BALTARD, AAAAARRRGGGHGHGGHhh!!!!" He swings at Baltard with his bat, wich baltard blocks with is axe. Rick pulls out his SMG and starts firing, hitting Baltard many times, he seems unnafected. Blake does the same, as the caravan gaurds all stand back to watch how you handle yourself. Mable runs back and hides behind Maribelle.

Honestly same, this is the only post from the dude who made him, but I say that's the more fun. IRL you don't choose your natural stats. You have to make the best out of what you get.

>>1526171
(if either of you two want to redraw Magnus (That's you) you can, I am actually upset that a 1str character looks like a small dade with glasses

>>1526187
If we have our energy weapon on us, then we should use it on his legs. If not, we use our pistol

>>1526216
As you reach for your plasma pistol he throws something out of his hand, theres a puff of smoke as he yells "BALLTARD!" and dissapears. Luckily, thanks to your high perception you can tell he's using a stealth-boy, a pre war stealth device ment to make people look invisible, with the major flaw that they let of a specific shine in the day. Only you can see him, he is escaping quickly

>>1526252
Try shooting at him with our regular 10 mm as the bullets go faster than plasmaa

>>1526265
Despite your high perception, His high luck allows him to get away in his time of need. You can no longer see him. As things settle, Carl walks over and pats you on the shoulder, "Congradulations, you couldn't kill a guy named ball-TARD."

>>1526288

"He's gonna come back though, with more probobly. God. We'll help next time."
Mable interjects "YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP HURTING PEOPLE!"

>>1527357
oh can it. he got away didn't he? if he can do that he wasn't hurt enough

>>1527443
? Is that what your saying? I'm not sure what you mean. It's like you had 3 different thoughts.

sorry that's what I was saying to the woman
as in shut up he wasn't hurt that bad, the proff is he could run

sorry for confusion

We should just tell him we see through his disguise but we could have use of him. If he starts to attack, we open fire

well then obviously you are not balltard
would you like a drink of water?

and when he says yes: "oh well we have to go to the man with a cup beacause we cant drink without a cup, want to help protect the undrinkable water?"

He's not a super mutant. He's a nightkin, but not the nightkin you see in the deasert, this story takes place in florida. They are simaler to nightkin from the east, being blue and using stealth boys, but they're actually natural mutations form humans in the radiation, but since people from the east already called something with that description nightkin, they took the name
>>1527715
"You must be kidding me" You say, turning around to your party "This is balltard, everyone." Not-baltard attacks with an axe and is quickly shot down by the entire group, leaving you with a dead body that might actually not be baltard, you're starting to question weather or not you made the right choice

>>1527781
Just like the real world you can train yourself to be stronger/smarter/more charismatic, though yuo cannot change your luck naturally. Upgrading a SPECIAL stat will take a long time for even +1.

>>1527816
you used the term redrawing I belive, I'm not sure if you mean actualy drawing a picture or the stats

also full merderhobo, loot his corpse and move on

I actually ment Redrawing him, since he looked just like dade before. You are stuck with the stats you have RN, unless you develop amnesia of some sort the only way to raise any of your SPECIAL stats is with intense training, like reading through an encyclopedia or having a workout routine.

>Loot corpse
Baltard has an axe, wich obviously goes to dade and two stealth boys that Carl wants.

Now on the road again, you can tell you are going to make it to Whirlhaven by nightfall.
>Continue walking quietly
>Talk to other party members

>>1527845
Actually that's an interesting story. You're smart enough to realize that he couldn't write, and must have an acomplice.

walk but say no to carl

"you can have one but twos greedy ya daft git"
while you say this have your hand near your pistol but not threateningly so

>>1527876
Carl grabs you by the shirt and pulls you in the air "I'M THE LEADER HERE, I WANT THE STEALTH BOYS, GIVE IT TO ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!" The way he yells reminds you of Shadiver, mabey they're related.

>>1527895
smile sweetly, and point out I have a plasma pistol on his chest

"now you need to learn some manners and if you or your friends move, I will shoot you don't try me a registered pyco path is a bad thing to make an enemy of. now how about you let go and we all play nice"
then shoot him if he doesn't let go

>>1527895
>>1527926
So what are we going to do with the other stealth boy if Carl doesn't have it? Who else can use it well?

due to his outburst, I am not giving him the damned thing,
but a reason to and I will bow to the peaples will

whats magnums personality like? I try to play him as a phycopath in the wastes but genouris in the settlments

anyone else think like this or any other styles of play?

>>1527950
From what I've been able to tell so far, magnus is a chaotic nutral/ nuetral evil genius, he gathers alot of informatin before stateigically acting, and atapts to his scenario.

>>1527926
"now you need to learn some manners and if you or your friends move, I will shoot you don't try me a registered pyco path is a bad thing to make an enemy of. now how about you let go and we all play nice"

He throws you to the left onto the gorund very hard, you get a few minor scrapes. "GO FUCK YOUSELF, I'M THE TOP DOG!" He grabs the cart and begins to walk off, grabbing his rifle with one hand, everyone else, even Maribelle and Mason just stare.

>>1527981
or hes a scitsophrenic broken human phycopath, with many different voices telling him what to do

wink wink nudge nudge. [I want to say this to someone now]

>>1527981
He is technically a psychopath, but he's not a crazed lunatic. More of a smart person who cares about himself and only uses other people for their usefullness, he doesn't enjoy killing but he doesn't really care.

dust myself down and grin "nice to see we didn't have to get violent, isn't it?" smile and carry on but make sure you keep your pistol is hand, then when shit goes south aim for the head and hands.
tell the group to be on guard.

>>1527999
You continue along and Carl doesn't say a world to you or the rest of the group.

Eventually you make it to Whirlhaven. It is a town of mostly raiders that was built inside an old highschool. It was a big school made of four or five buildings the first is a building in the shape of a square with a courtyard int the middle, a building with a bell on it, what looks to be what used to be a library, a market, and an areana. You enter through the front door and the first thing you see is a body handing from the ceiling and a sign that says 'Snitches get stitches"

>>1528009
Well good thing we aren't snitches, right guys? Lets just try to get our business done

>>1528009
"this place could use some LIVENING up"

You walk over to another stand that says "The waters of life" And Carl walks over to him "Stephen, nice to see you again"
"Yeah, yeah, on with the formalities, here's your money" He hands him, not bottlecaps, but golden coins with the saying "Deus vult" and "Mors ad infidelium" on them.

You look around and see a city where anything goes, slave traders, sex workers, even booths where you get to stab a guy tied to a poll. you see a streetfight going on as well.

get info on the town from this bloke and then ask about missing vault dwellers, away from the group so they cant here

>>1528033
lets do this. We still have a mission

any thoughts on the matter anon?

I think we need to find another government power and abuse the fuck out of hospitality

I need to go to sleep in about ten minutes so only a few more posts from me, and anon please don't get us killed. if you can help it

night everyone

>>1528065
Goodnight

>>1528033
The rest of the group heads off, rick goes off to the stabbing booth, you seemed worried about him.

You speak to the merchant "So, what's this town like?"

"It's every man for himself. This is a raider haven. No government, the NAP is the only law around these parts, that's what happens to theives around here" You see three men beating on one down on the ground before shooting him, the aftermathe of the streetfight earlier.

"Look I'm looking for some other vault dwellers, they've gone missing and it's my job to find them"

"Oh, yeah...I've seen some vault dwellers around, havent seen much money around though."

Bump

Shit, did I reach the 7 day bump limit?

any players still there?

/qst/ has automatic permasage after 72 hours

Do we actually have any money?

>>1529225
No we don't actually.

>>1529225
But remember hes a raider, he doesn't really care about your situation.

Tell him to fuck off, we'll find them on our own

Look around the place and see what places/shops there are. Keep an eye out for the other dwellers and see what they're doing.

>>1529325
Points of interest are as follows
>Stab-a-dude booth
>Bar
>Motel
>Prostitutes
>An odd blue man (Possibly another nightkin)
>Weapons shop

>many raider homes
>The areana
>The building with a bell on it

didnt we get paid? if not go find that slimball carl and get our wages
then talk to the odd blue man. if hes gullible we can easly have a new allie

>>1530478
"You get paid if you make it back to the trop and talk to the water merchants there. This guy didn't pay us in caps, he payed us in crusader chillings. We take this money to the boss and the boss pays us, retard" Carl finally talks to you agau

>>1530795
no need to be hostile"

talk to blue man, then if he idnt useful head back to the water merchant

>>1531167
"Hey" You say to the blue man sitting at the bar.
"Hi, My name's Ray." He seems to be alot smarter than baltard.

>>1531173
nice to meet you ray, hey I was wondering have you seen any vault dwellers about?

as a side note do you know who benard is?

>>1531202
"Baltard? Yeah" He chuckles "That wasn't his real name, he was a balltard so we just called him baltard. He didn't realize we where making fun of him so he kept the name. Why? You come across him?" He seems to ignore your qustion about vault dwellers.

>>1531238
we did, shame though he was a bit violent and was taken care of" -tap our gun- "but you dodged my question"

>>1531252
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to. Baltard wasn't a friend, glad he's dead. Anyway, yeah actually, I saw a few vault dwellers who'd been living here a while. They all share an apartment in the bell building."

>>1531262
that's of great help, if you need a bit of help feel free to come a calling"

go to the bell building and round up our vault crew. btw what vault are we from? I don't think its mentioned

>>1531277
(We're from vault 1, you should probobly read up to here, there's alot of important info you might have missed.)
You round up Dade, Rick, Mable and Blake and go to the room that Ray told you about, when you knock you are greedted by a woman with long blonde hair and a vault suit, though you cant see the number "Why hi there, looking for another spot in our home-away form home?"

>>1531287
I have just missed that detail]

"why hello there miss might me and my companions come in, we are ever so tired and our dire quest is unceasing" -put on a weiry smile, acting all the way-

>>1531293
"Ah..Sure." You enter to see what used to be a classroom reconstructed into a living room, with makeshift walls seperating other rooms, along with her is two men, a black man with long dreadlocks, and and an asian man who you recognize, he left the vault 5 years ago, his name was max.

shoot me dead with a rusy fork, max? is that you mate? by the divine where have you been, no ones heard from you"
act slightly conserned and weiry but make sure the annoyance is there

>>1531321
"Uhh, you are? Vault 1 obviously but I never really knew you. Uh, Yeah, why would I ever come back?" He seems alot more cynical and grisled than you knew him.

I'm going to ignore that snub, I recognise cynicalism is a survival trait but aside from the obviously detatched mind set your taking to what was once family, where are the other vault dwellers from vault one. no body is reporting in and the overseer is starting to get worried

>>1531360
"Yeah, I know where the others are, let me give you a comprehensive map, AS IF! THEY LEFT ME FOR DEAD THE FIRST DAY, SCREW 'EM ALL!" You can tell that his anger was brought on by seeing you with your group, as sight he never got in his own journey through the waste

>>1531374
that would be most appreciated, but I would not have you take your anger out on me or my friends and if you do so again, I will drag you out of this room and do something far worse than leave you for dead, do you understand.
if he agrees become light hearted again
if not make sure to carry through on the threat would be my choise.

>>1531360
you think for a moment, he has a very "Me Vs. the world' mentality, this could be a great time to tell him about the enclave, and get your reward.

>>1531384
"You don't scare me, I've taken on much bigger fish than you." The blonde woman interjects "Now guys, stop fighting" The black man walks into another room, not wanting to get tangled up in this mess, you see his part of vault 7, but seems alot smaller than Mairbelle

>>1531393
I will bow to our hosts wishes but I tell you, no fish is as dangerious as a fish with a gun and people to protect..but I doubt you have had the pleasure of being that fish.
sit down and smile happily while keeping a hand upon our gun

Be aware it's day rn, you're not very intimidating.

thank you for the information max, that will be very useful for the overseer

talk with the woman about her vault the town and any other stuff we might be able to do

>>1531413
"I'm from vault 5, uh, it's a little bit off from here, uh...This town's a nastey place, full of immoral people, I'd leave as soon as I could If I where you"

>>1531418
then I will fit right in" have a small laugh "I thank you for the advice, and that was a joke I'm not very good at humor" ask if there is any government faction and if they have heard of the enclave

>>1531427
"The enclave, No, I cant say I've heard of them. Who are they?"

>>1531446
some human suprimests set upon the hopeless task of bringing order to the wastes and leading us all into a brighter tomorrow...and our part time employer" tell them about the two people we met in nothing but factual but good lighted terms

>>1531464
You continue "There was only two people we met, a strong but secretive guy named Shediver, and a purple haired girl name zoneyetta who seemed to be the voice of reason. They said they where looking for more "True humans" and that vault dwellers where the best fit. I don't know if I'd like the restrictions of freedom, but some sort of government might give you the protection you seem to so desperately desire"

She thinks for a moment
"They sound scarey, but this place is even scarier. Do you know if they'd let me be part of them?" You can tell max think's they're just as stupid as you do.

>>1531494
well if you wish for member ship, tag along with us a bit of extra fire power is not to be scoffed at. we will be leaving in a few hours meet us at [where the others are waiting] in 2 hours if you want meet them, we will be going there anyway

ask if the others want to come, if not then time skip to back on the road

Nothing of interest happens on the way back to the trop. You make it back to the water merchant and he pays you each 100 caps, and give 500 to the other mercinaries. Carl hands him those gold coins with the latin writing on it and you wonder what they are. you're smart enough to tell the writing says "God wills it" and "Death to the unbelievers" on it.

get our face to ask why we were given 100 each and 500 to the other mercs, not a threating or accusing way just curiosity?
also how much for a bottle.
[we are talking with the dehydrated goul right?]

>>1531608
(yes)
Blake walks over "Hey, Just wondering, how come they got so much more than us?"
The man with the peeling skin replies (You don't know he's called a ghoul yet, you never asked)"I already told you before it's our mininmum payment and we pay by skill."

"oh okay, and how much for a bottle of this water"

"15 caps for a can, we don't do bottles"

You buy him a can of water and when you offer it to him he informs you "You know I run this outpost right? I can get as much water as I want" when you ask he says "I'm what's called a ghoul. Not everyone got to hole up in a vault during the war, the ones that survived end up like me, some of us are fine, a little fucked up looking but otherwise normal, but others...It rots away their brain turning them into zombies. At least I'm naturally immortal."

you were dehydrated last we spoke, one good turn deserves another. if he wont take the can bid him good day and go to the enclave outpost

Can we use the scrapping skill? With our night time perception we should have 48 skill points for it.

>>1534849
what is the scrapping skill? is it useful to a phyco?

>>1534929
It's at the bottom of the OP image

>>1534950
we cant use it, we don't have the skill.

who do we have with us? I know its one vaultie but what of the others?

>>1535092
Your current party js all the other vault dwellers. (That is to day, the default charactwrs)
You head to the enclave outpost and as you walk in shader is jumping into his power armour, he hopes that nobody got a good look at him, but you do. He looks loke the man from the water stand but worse, some of his muscles are exposed and most of his head is just exposed skull.

>>1534929
The scrapping skill is your ability to take an object apart and get the useful parts out of it. We don't have it now but it costs 20 skill points tk buy a new skill and with you getting 15 skill points a level you can get a new skill every two levels with 10 points left over

introduce the girl we picked up for a reward, then when that's done have a conversation with shad in private

>>1535358
You introduce the girl to Zoneyetta and they Begin talking you tell Shadiver you need to talk to him and he pulls you into the back room, he knows exactly what you want.

please tell me the punishment for a untrue human joining the enclave? I'm just curious

>>1535383
"Doesn't matter, I am a human."

>>1535419
but my dear dear shav, if it does not matter surly you would tell me?
and I never disputed you were human, why do you think I was?

>>1535429
"It's death, obviously, once they're under enclave juricdiction they face their punishment. I know you saw me."

>>1535431
your correct, I saw a ghoul get in power armour but obviously it was not the enclave shav I know and respect. so I will ask you now and I don't want any bullshit how long have you been like that, and did you join like this?
