btw I archived the first thread here
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1514943/

I feel a strange sense of pride at being in the archives, thank you, there is also the practicality of doing so but screw that, I have some PRIDE now

You run out of the vault, past the gates and find yourselves in a feild behind the back fence of outland. The crusaders base you saw was in outland though, so you thin it might not be a good idea to go back.

>>1551984
There's not really any urgency, may as well just go around the hostile territory.

this is some good kek

I agree, go around rick might have made some new friends so lets hope we reach shav before him, I would dislike conflict with our "commander"

>>1552034
Go around to where exactly? Just wander? You might encounter something usefull wandering but your team doesn't have the best luck. Also remember, the crusaders probobly didn't see you.

>>1552037
hmm, just move around the edge of town, avoid going through

>>1552040
The crusader base in in the front of the town, you're currently on the back of town outside the fence. You walk aroundt he outside of the fence adn everything seems to be normal. You don't see any signs of hostility within the town and rick seems to not be here.

>>1552037
go around the town

carry on to the outpost. we should also ask the penalty for attempted [and nearly successful] murder of an enclave citizen by another such induvidual

>>1552047
Well if we didn't kick the hornet's nest, we should just keep going to out objective

>>1552056
technicaly we have no objective, I just think its good to empress on everyone the situation. we mark you for death we don't stop UNTILL your dead

>>1552061
You make it back to the trop with no bumps and ask Zoneyetta, she says "It's an eye for an eye, death scentance for murder" She pauses and notices rick isn't there, then wispers "That's only if someone reports it though" and then winks.

>>1552116
"who carrys out this.. punishment? hypotheticly of course"

>>1552116
"Do you know where I can get these glasses replaced?"

>>1551867
(I fucking came when I saw this. Like forreal I've never gotten fanart. I was so happy i was litterally jumping for joy)

>>1552117
"An exocutioner, in front of a bunch of enclave citizens. The death custom fits the crime"

>>1552119
"um, actually" She says "I can fix them, but it's gonna cost ya...100 caps"

>>1552123
deal, and where can we find a executor?

>>1552129
"I don't know" She says "There aren't many enclave citizens killing each other. Listen, if you want to kill rick go ahead, I won't tell anyone." She says

>>1552198
well then, what wepons do you have. preferably effective and used by mutants

>>1552212
"Mutants?!" She seems shocked "Don't tell me you're turning into a mutant sympathiser?"

>>1552214
no no, I said wepons USED that you probably confiscated. no one bats an eye when a mutant guns down my dear friend and I bring the body back for buryial, I want it authentic. -spit at dear friend-

framing a raider, is acceptable. framing mutants will get me sympathy

>>1552260
Uh, mutants tend to just use weapons they get off of humans, that is if you're talking about the super veriety. Um...If your looking to frame him just uh, use this" She hands you a sword "One of our scavengers found it on a guy named 'not baltard'"

>>1552272
>>1552272
thank you for the information, yeah I knew that guy tried shakeing us down for water. got what was coming to him" -take the sword and head to the water merchant-

>>1552279
You head over to the water merchant, the unnamed ghoul from before.

>>1552298
send blake tell him I want info on rick from the ghoul if he has none tell him to keep his ear out

I need to sleep, see you soon op, thanks again for the quest

>>1552322
are you in europe or sometthing? or are you nocturnal? Damn.
"Yeah, actually, that guy came in and bought a bike off the old auto salesman the otehr day. Why, did he go missing?"

>>1552338
yeah missing, any idea where?

[and I'm a brit, best country in the world. I'm also slightly patriotic..and xenophobic]

>>1552347
{I was wondering, because when you
re going to bed it's like mid afternoon for me)

"He left town after that, no real idea. I heard him yell something about slaves."

>>1552357
>MY GROUP, BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP IN RICKETSVILLE WE WHERE GONNA GET A SLAVE
He probably went back to Ricketsville to buy a slave. But that would've been two week ago.

let's go there next and ask around for him.

>>1553681
(Did you get your glasses fixed by zoneyetta?)
You head to ricketsville and aproach Dave (Of dave's slaves) seeing he's the biggest slave trader in the town.

>>1553703
Yeah got glasses fixed

"Hey Dave. Have you seen my pal Rick? Spikey hair, aviators, ripped sleeves, smells likes jet, 'bout this high. Probably came into town riding a bike"

>>1553769
"Oh yeah, he was WAY higher than that, did you know there's cherry jet? HAHAHA. Anyway yeah, I seen him, but info on where he went will...cost ya. You know the drill" He laughs, and his laugh is contagious "20 caps, not too much right?"

>>1551867
>>1553769
Seriously I can tell you how happy I was to see this. You ever get so happy you just laugh, because that's the only way to get rid of the energy? That's what I did when I saw this. Could you do this for the other party members?

>>1553890
"Don't mind a bit Dave" -pay 20 caps-

>>1553957
"Well yeah, I saw Rick. I tell ya, I've met alot of raiders in my days, but he's one particularly fucked up individual. He came past here, like, two weeks ago on a loud-ass bike. Bought a slave too. She was a young girl, I don't think it was a labor slave either, man that's fucked up even by my standers. But money is money right?" He laughs putting his hand on your shoulder "But anyway, he said we was going to whirlhaven, that's the last I saw him."

>>1553981
"You're all heart Dave. Thanks for the info"

Leave the building, talk to the party.

"Okay, word is Ricks gone back to that raider town Whirlhaven by bike.
We'll travel there tomorrow. For now I'd like check all our inventories, then we'll go buy some extra supplies"

>>1553933
Yeah okay, nice to hear the image was so well received.

>>1554017
He's at a booth not a building. BRB, gonna take inventory

>>1554017

>>1554074
That's the current inventory.

>>1554092
whats te3 time? and how long would it be to walk to whirl haven. we want to get him at night.
the sonofvabitch

>>1554193
it's evening, and please refer to the map when you can. it will take about a day and a half

stop about half way inbetween, trop and whirl haven. then we will cheak the time again

>>1554208
you stop about half way and find that camp of men again, just hanging out around a fire. these are the two men who's legs you fixed last time

>>1554074
We should buy Blake a second Cowboy Revolver since he can dual wield, also buy him leather armour.
Give Baltard's axe to Dade.

>>1554258
it was a sword, but I got an idea.
get blake to give us a grenade and go talk with these two blokes

>>1554269
Blake has no grenade, IDK where you got that from
>>1554258
probobly a good idea to get him another pistol and put that skill to work.

>>1554332
Just give him the 10mm for now, we can upgrade him to another revolver later

>>1554339
You give him the 10 mm pistol to use. You still havent actually aproached the two men you helped before. you find it odd that they're still in the same spot as before

shit, I gotta test something, Think I might have got beaned

>>1554332
we got given two grenades when we joined the enclave. that's what I remember we gave them to blake.

>>1555177
>>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.

oh, I'm wrong then. I apologise. anywho lets go greet the two men

>>1555238
You walk up to the men, still finding it suspicious that they're in the same place as before. "Oh hey guys" the man says "Nice to see you again. Weren't there five of you last time?"

>>1555357
yeah there were, he got lost and I heard he was heading this way. pray tell have you seen him?"

>>1555360
"I don't think I saw anyone that looked like one of ya. Alot of the people who come by here are raiders who come by in a vehicle so fast I can't see their face"
You feel suspicious of them, like there's something...off. They're in the same spot and it really, REALLY bother's you.

>>1555373
-uuse perception to look around them and at them try to discern any motives or wrongness you can-

"a quick question? what are you doing out here?"
-keep your hand near your holster but not on the gun-

>>1555373
"How come you guys are still camping in the same place after 2 weeks?"

>>1555384
"Well I know last time I said it was because my friend was hurt, but since then we realized something; There's alot of people who come through here, and we can make alot of money trading with people. We where thinking of setting up a rest stop. A place to trade, spend the night and tell stories around a fire.

>>1555389
Magnificat, amazing!

>>1555392
-perception, this sounds suspicious as fuck
put a hand nearer to a gun here-

"Realy? anyone intresting?"

>>1555389
nice work there mate

>>1555398
They're being sincere, they're just weirdos.

Yeah, you'd be suprised the weird lives that some poeple out in the wasteland live.

>>1555392
"What have you got for trade?"

>>1555410
supporting, I do want a grenade. if only for my plan futher down the road

>>1555410
"Uhh...Let me see " He looks in his bag "I got 50 caps , a pulse grenage, an old book, IDK what it's about though, I can't read, and...that's it so far. We usually trade for food, so we don't have much right now."

>>1555572
"Let me see that book"

>>1555414
Will a pulse grenade work for your master plan?

>>1555592
Pulse grenades only mess with electronics, not people. Actually, due to your prostetic heart it would dammage you. But if rick has a bike it would probobly put it out of commission
"uh,sure"
He hands you the book. It's a copy of the bible.

>>1555632
"Nah, I don't need any of this stuff never mind. See you later."

>>1555712
"Oh, don't you want to camp here overnight? it's getting dark."

>>1555720
Sleep with suspicious dudes or sleep in town where residents stab people for fun...

"Hmm yeah I guess this is a decent spot to spend the night, we can watch one of Blake's western holotapes on pipboy"

>>1555772
"A holotape? I've heard of those things before. They're like movies on a small little thingy right?"

As you pop it into your pip boy you see something come from the sky. It's snowing? 'Snowing? but this is Florida' you think 'It's hot out and-" That's when you realize, the snow is black, the moment it hits your skin it burns.

>>1555592
nope, I need one that would kill or gravly injure humans in a 5 meter radius

>>1555801
oh shit, ash gat up and move. "TO COVER" take no chances we want rick dead I wont let this kill us

>>1555801
"Not just movies, they can hold all sorts of data! You can even use one to make the final boss commit suic- ow what the fuck"

Use the enclave uniform as an umbrella, look around for cover or the source of this black stuff.

>>1555805
All of you run under cover of some trees, but now your stuck up to your knees in murkey bog water with who knows what animals gaining radiation quickly.

>>1555808
After a few minuts of thinking and a few more of work, you fashion your enclave uniforms and some junk and turn it into a tent of sorts, witha hole in the center of the roof for a fire.

Examine the "black snow" what is it?

>>1555822
can we perception to figure out what it is?

if not ask those two whats happening [I think I know]

>>1555830
>>1555829
"I have no idea what this is!" They say. But you know what it is. You where taught about this in preperation for leaving the vault. Mable chimes in "It's called 'fallout'"

>>1555842
-curse slightly, then stay in the nice tent and away from falling radiation- "get some sleep guys, I will keep watch"

>>1555842
>It's called 'fallout'

"I thought fallout only lasts up to 5 years. But the great war was over a century ago. Stupid vault tech manuals... Have you got any rad x?"

>>1555875
no no, I have had the uniqe chance to witness some fall out. when I got home I look it up some more. then I cheaked out game theory and shoddy cast. this shit could well have happened all it takes is for there to be enough for the wind to pick up again]

>>1555854
You keep watch over night, and when everyone else wakes up you start to feel tired.

>>1556324
Alright guys, we have the same fucking problem again. I am exhausted and you guys are rested. What are we going to do?

>>1556461
Mable sighs "You can't keep doing this, seriously. You need to sleep with the rest of us."

>>1556513
And who is going to make sure that we don't get our throats slit in the night?

>>1556517
"We can take turns! there's four of us, we can each keep watch for an hour and a half!"

>>1556701
I agree with that" pack up our improve tent, then make it to whip haven

>>1557627
*Whirlhaven, holy shit you cant spell. Just so you know these uniforms are no longer wearable, you had to cut them up to make it all work so it's a permanent tent with the enclave logo right and center on it.

You get to whirlhaven and you notice a new peice of grafitti sticking out from all the already existing ones 'Richie Dagger Rulez the wastes"

>>1557666
"heh not if I have anything to say about it rickie-boy" -look around the town, look for any vehicle that looks like the one we tested and an inn-

>>1557687
(Shit, I just realized that this Rick sidequest is sort of just fallout new vegas. Hahaha, but you took it upon yourself, the only thing I'm making you do is what the overseer said, it's a nice adventure so far)
You don't see any motorcycle like his, but there is an inn, sort of, the bell building does have rentle rooms, though most of them are long-term apartments. You see the "The waters of life" Merchant from before and he seems to recognize you, but not say anything. In fact, you're getting an overall more hostile vibe from this place than you did last time.

>>1557717
[I hold my friends to a very high but few rules, the first and formost is respect and loyalty, he has broken both. he will pay]
talk with the water merchant, I assume rick pissed him off-
"I need to find my wayward target where is the other one from our party? any idea"

>>1557769
"Wayward? Damn, we got a fancy pants here. Yeah I saw Rick, told me all about the shit you pulled, fuck outa here. I SAID GET AWAY FROM MY STAND!"

>>1557861
"what shit did I pull?" -don't move yet, keep a hand close to my gun-

>>1557874
"Don't act like you don't know. Loyalty is one of the few things we got out here, and you can't even keep with that"

>>1557881
realy, did it have to do with him not wanting to help out other vault dwellers from our vault, and shot me because I dared say that he was wrong? if that's betraying loyalty on my part, I don't want the loyalty in the first place because that would be worthless. and why are the others with me? if I had lost their loyalty why continue with me? they can leave whenever they wish. so tell me merchant, where is rick. I wont ask nicely again

>>1557954
You're not gonna lay a finger on me. This is a raider town, one shot and everyone in this town pulls a gun out on you. "

You remember;
>"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.

He continues "I know you're type. The evil genius. You find the alpha, take him out, and lie to everyone to pretend you're in the right."

>>1558002
I don't pretend to be in the right, I AM in the prosses of making my family have a better time out here. but your right I do find the alpha, I do manipulate and I do it for selfish reasons, for the betterment of them -wave at my party- an I think you know a man with something to lose will fight hard, and with rick I have something to lose. [he has no guard right?]

>>1558030
He himself has no bodygaurd but seriously, if you shoot at him everyone in this town will kill you. this isn't your thoughts, this is ME AS A GM, I AM TELLING YOU THIS.

"Go away"

>>1558055
[I did not intend to shoot him, maybe beat him over the head. as a question what sort of act could I get away with? having dade forcibly pick him up and drag him outside the city]

>>1558063
Taking someone outside the city is one thing, but be careful how people see it, remember a fist fight ended in 2 deahts.

"dade, do me a favour and pick up mister merchant here or failing that just make sure he dose not run from us, try not to hurt him but that is secondary" "no mister merchant you will be coming with us out of the city, there is no option for debate"

>>1558086
Dade picks him up and he yells "THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME!" Nobody seems to care "I'M YOUR SOURCE OF WATER MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRS!!!" Dade takes him out of the city with the rest of you.

>>1558116
set him up about half a mile from the city, use some of his top to tie his hands and legs.
"now I am going to ask you again, where is rick. and I will let you go"

>>1558122
He starts tearing up, yelling so loud that his voice gives out a bit at times "I Don- -ow where he- -s!!!! He- -ent nort- -hat's all I- ow!"

>>1558138
"there that wasn't so difficult was it? and please stop yelling your hurting my ears" -take any wepon and ammo he has and stand up-

>>1558143
you leaving him tied up?

>>1558154
[no but I want him to think that, he was an asshat but I keep my word. I like seeing him sqirm]

>>1558162
He wiggles around "You motherfuckers! You gonna leave me out here to die!? If I EV- R GET OUTA -ERE I'M GONNA KI- -OU!!!"

>>1558176
well I hope not, and no I will not leave you out here to die, I just hope you can walk. but tell me will you cause trouble for me later?"

>>1558177
"FUCK YOU!"

>>1558195
"is that a yes? I don't want to harm you, but I will if you cause trouble"

>>1558201
"KILL ME NO- R YOU'RE GONNA REGRE- -T!"

>>1558210
"can you say that without shouting? kill you or I'm going to regret it? its very hard to understand you"

>>1558217
He just laughs histaricaly, like a madman

>>1558225
"hmph, alright people we are heading north, ill catch up" -when they are a good hundred meters away use the sword we got and go through the neck- "no hard feelings"

>>1558233
His last words are "Thanks for proving me right"

>>1558233
You head north and a bit to the east as a the path curves, Eventually you come to a small town. 10 or 15 small houses in a mostly dry area of the swamp. It's quiet....too quiet. You can smell dead bodies. 'He's been here' , You think.

>>1558238
"your welcome" [I honestly didn't want to kill him, but he goaded me and its more trouble than its worth]

>>1558242
"stay back, keep a cover on me" -investigate the houses, look for signs if he is here, and traps or other messages from the arse himself-

File: Map.png (90 KB, 3356x3336)

90 KB PNG

>>1558244
You walk into the closest house and immediately spot mutliple tripwire and beartraps. While you can notice them, you do not have the skill to disarm them, and investigating this specific house will most likely do some dammage, dade could probobly survive the traps, but he's no detective. You notice that, in fact, almost every house has green grafitti on it "Richie Dagger's Crime" "Anarchy in the USA" "Take what I want cuz I can"

It also seems this specific house has something...off about it.

>>1558252
"mother fucker" -are there any peacies of wood outside that I can use to spring the traps safely?

-then focus on whats wrong with the house-

>>1558263
There's lots of wreckage, but again you're very week and it seems again that dade is the only way to pick up this stuff. Possibly you could have him set off the traps and then you look around, he's tough, he MIGHT survive.

not worth the risk, anywho whats wrong here? what can I see or is perception not good enough.

[also what time is it?]

>>1558285
It's mid afternoon, there's some drawing on the floor, you're not sure what it is, though. The rest of the town is on fire and there are dead bodies around. all of wich killed with a nicely placed plasma round to the chest. Seems like Rick is more of a firing squad type than a trickshooter.

>>1558297
hmm, call the others over and have them get a look at it, WARN them about the traps.

>>1555885
man that's insane

>>1558297
can we get any more details on the drawing?

>>1558299
Nobody can make much of it. You could always wait until night to get a better look, higher percepion and such, or continue along the path you're already on.

>>1558299
its only insane if I stayed around when they said dangerious radiation.

anywho I'm planning the execution that makes the imperium seem like a cute fluffy pacafists.

or japanses seppuku cut open the gut and cut off the head and hands

>>1558306
So do you wait until night or do you continue along.

>>1558306
wait until night and try to find a house not trapped

>>1558319
The other houses aren't trapped but have nothing of value. You look into the house again and see a spray painted dick on the floor. But it seems like it's pointing adead, further down the road.

>>1558325
>using dick graffiti as way-point markers
It's brilliant!

Go that way I guess

>>1558325
>For discovering multiple locations, defeting enamies and completing quests you have leveled up

A little late here

> You are now level 3, you have gained 15 skill points to either add to current skills or save (20 points can buy you a new skill)

rest until sun down, then look for other tracks, if there are non follow the dick painting

>>1558331
I suggest saving. unless we can add luck to this because FUCK is not adequate for this place

>>1558332
It's already night. You follow the dick marker down the road until you are met with a split path, there is a sign with grafiti on it "All paths lead to death, some quicker than others" The path splits in such a way that one continues in a straight line while the other turns to the right.

>>1558335
You are stuck with your current SPECIAL forever, the only 'intense training' is actual training, not a perk or anything. But okay, you save it.

>>1558335
Actually I think we should invest the points in energy. We're already pretty high with it, we have a plasma pistol and we're best buddies with the enclave who love energy weapons.

>>1558341
can we find any tracks of rick, burned something, a dick graffiti, anything. and follow that?

>>1558346
>>1558335
well it seems we are at an impass. Both of you roll 1d100, highest number decides. I know I said no rolling, but this is an exception.

>>1558346
maybe but I would like a scrapper/builder perk/skill so traps wont be a problem and we can make our own hap dash weapons and armour

>>1558346
Supporting

Rolled 47 (1d100)

FOR THE LORD KHRONE

Rolled 27 (1d100)

>>1558352
okay, we could buy a new skill next level and use left over 10 to develop an existing skill

>>1558357
khorne sux desu

>>1558350
You see nothing, only a 50/50 desicion. Rick, while ecentric, was just as naturall perceptive as you, though nowhere near as inteligent, but mentats do exist.

>>1558360
I agree on the first point on the second

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SLENESHI WHORE

>>1558360
okay, we're saving it up, that's final!

should we go forward? I think he might do that, but he might go right because he knows how we think AGHHH I will go forwards, do you agree

>>1558347
We need to get a dog companion for tracking purposes
Let's just go forward

>>1558363
>Worshiping gods instead of killing them and keeping them in pokeballs
Stay cucked khorne-flake

>>1558385
nice idea on the dog, infinetly more loyal that this bastard.

and do not mistake my reverence for subbmitance for my lord rewards me for the blood of heathens like you being spilled you miserable tau wretch

You continue forward and the sun starts to rise, you soon notice further along that the path converges back togeather, your choice was meaningless. You can see a small village in the distance, but cant make much of it from this distance. Also, btw, mentats also increase perception not just intelligence, and mable has some.

take a mentat from mable for later, then see if we can find any horros he usualy inflicts

>>1558414
You don't see anything in particular, mabey this is the slow death? All you see is a city in the distance and a wooden walkway built to it. Something tells you this is the 'end of the road'.

>>1558408
they also give +1 CHA

Enter the town

>>1558422
enter the town, watch the shadows and all alcoves find the bastard. keep your gun up and make sure we are not seen. we want the first shot off

>>1558422
You get closer to the town and see it better. A town full of huts and tents set up in a circle, with a small pit/rut in the middle that looks worn in. There's a line of people (male and female) leading to that pit, and in it is Rick, fucking a tribal woman, with a young blonde girl sitting by them. You notice two things about everyone in the town, they all have vault 5 jumpsuits, or some modified version, and they all have Mohawks.

>>1558433
Gesture to your team to withdraw
Don't want to challenge all these guys head-on, especially at day time
We should camp out until night time and return, hopefully he's still be here.

>>1558433
get closer to the scean for a good shot then take aim and tell blake to do so as well, then shoot him in the arms and legs. kill him if we must but I want him to suffer
after we fire "HELLO RICK YOU BASTARD, FANCY SEEING YOU HERE"

>>1558436
trust me, this is what magnus is doing for now, I have plans. Also since you didn't go and engange him right away I made this picture for nothing, so here you go.

>>1558440

fuck I don't know

>>1558443
>Rick suprised.png
What happened to his clothes?

>>1558443
AAGGGGGHHHHHH FINE we will not attack now, we will retreat and wait for a more opportune time. FUCK my revenge side wants this, but my sadist wants this more

>>1558446
He took them off before engaging in peepee friction pleasure with the tribal girl

>>1558436
You head back a bit and decide to wait out untill night. You also get the pleasure of seing the daily routine of the tribe. It seems the morning starts with Rick's personal fuck line, then a breakfast feast for eveyone. In the afternoon Rick withdraws into his (much larger) House to sleep, though two very tough men are gaurding him. It also seems the blonde girl never leaves his side. Do you continue to wait until complete nightfall.

>>1558446
>What happened to his clothes?
>Rick, fucking a tribal woman

>>1558449
Yeah midnight would be best

Are there any other entrances to Rick's house, might be a good opportunity to use our lock picking skill

>>1558449
allright when next it is midnight, sneak around to the rear of the big house. we go in dade hits one guard over the head and I stab the other through the neck, then we enter the hut. then we have to play by ear.

>>1558453
There is one entance. He wakes up around dusk, and sort of just wanders around the town, socializing and such. It seems that he was anticipating your arrival and planned a nocturnal schedual where he's never truly alone. it seems that he keeps a group of gaurds with him throuout the night, they talk, light a fire, and watch movies on his pip-boy and have an overall good time. Midnight rolls around quicker than epected. There are 4 gaurds with him and his one slave.

>>1558459
is changes things, shit umm, well we made a plan lets stick to it, knock out the door guards when everyone else is asleep.

>>1558459
Now I wish I went with the rad scorpion poison idea, we could just break in his house during his daily sex party and replace one of his jet canisters.

>>1558463
May as well keep with the plan, we're still at an advantage despite his precautions

>>1558463
so wait until the afternoon when Rick is sleeping again and there's only the two gaurds? so are you gonna sleep overnight as well, or are you going 2 days without sleep?

sleep until he is alone, shit I hate that arse

we should assume they are willing consorts, as such wepons are hot but only shoot in a last resort, it will wake rick

>>1558472
You fall asleep, at night no less, in the first time in a long time. Bad move, someone should have kept watch. All four of you awaken in the pit, yo look up and see yourself surrounded by tribals. You're smart enough to know that even with dade you cant take all of these people out.

"Good morning" You hear a familiar voice, but don't see the matching face. He sounds more charismatic than your last encounter.

>>1558485
"I knew I should have shot you while you were fucking the girl you daft bastard" -get up dust myself down, what stuff have we got-

oi I thought we agreed to sleep in shifts last time

>>1558495
to late now, roll with the punches. my tactic show no fear only disdain. I tend to excel at pissing people off and getting rid of their stride. let me handle the dialogue. just find a way to get us out I cant think of any

>>1558495
You tossed around the idea, but you need to say it every time, there's been times when all of you slept and just nobody attacked.
>>1558488
(it wasn't just one girl, it was most of the village)
You have all of your things, but you're not really in a postition to grab any of them, surrounded by the tribals, the moment you get up they push you back down.

Rick appears from out of the crowd with the girld, upon closer inspection she is a slave. Rick begins "So, Columbus finishes his journey halfway across the world only to find the Mohawk Indians where expecting him" He runs his hand down the side of his spikes. "Yeah, It turns out all it takes to take over a group of idiots is to silently join their ranks, and overthrow their leader" He laughs a cocky, arrogant laugh. "Everyone back off". The crowd loosens, giving you tons of space, they all go far back actually. And you finally get a good look at Rick's new armour. It looks like he just took trophies from people he's killed. Boots made out of moose lodge gloves, a crusader's robe belt, and an Enclave helmet shoulder pad. He's more worn as well. You also notice something peculiar. A collar around his neck, one normally reserved for slaves.

>>1558499
"...are you wearing a bomb collar?"

>>1558499
just as a clerification, to clarify how much of a degenerate rick has become, this slave, most likely a sex slave, is pre-pubescent by many years.

>>1558499
-get up again- "well there is one difference between me and Columbus, he fought free men who were creative and dangerious. looking from your jewlery around your neck I would say I fight a slave pit with only brute force. so wont you introduce me to your adorable little friend?" -gesture to the slave-

>>1558502
"You like it? It's connected to my heart beat. Kill me and everyone in this city dies as well. Simaler modification with hers, not just will hers blow up if she dies, but if you move her more than 100 feet away form me or cause mine to blow up hers blows up as well. And you wouldn't kill an innocent child would you? Especially not one who's seen the worste the wasteland has to offer." He laughs, not maniacally, he just laughs.

>>1558505
"Oh, that's Farah, my personal fleshlight when the villagers are too tired"

>>1558507
She hugs his leg, she seems afraid of you. He talks to her like a father comforting his daughter "Don't worry sweetie, I wont let the bad man hurt you, I love you." and he hugs her back.

-crouch down to the girl- "hello there, I'm magnum I am this pests one time friend and leader. I am so sorry for what has happened, but tell me what do you think of rick?"

>>1558506
>You like it? It's connected to my heart beat. Kill me and everyone in this city dies as well

Well worst case scenario we can just use Rick as a human shield, aint nobody shooting that shit

>>1558507
*Sarah

[oh you smarmy bastard, this hurts to do]

>>1558513
I hate to say it, but I think we should just aim a gun at his chest and say "so your not afraid ill pull this trigger?"

>>1558512
The moment you even step forward, she tenses up in fear, before again hugging Rick for protection, and crying into his leg. "Don't let him hurt us, Richie!!!"

>>1558515
"I'm very afraid actually, but you should be too, sure I'll be dead, but come on, suicide bombing victim? Is that what you want on your tombstone. are you willing to go so far as kill a little girl..." He picks sarah up and holds her "To get revenger on me?"

>>1558516
"I wonder what filth you saved her from? but lets face it I would rather not know." -stop and consider his question- [how far would the explosions go? like hit my partey. god I want to stop the colors but how?]

>>1558521
>[how far would the explosions go? like hit my partey. god I want to stop the colors but how?]
Fly you fools!

>>1558518
excellent, now his hands are full, perfectly vulnerable

I think we should take him hostage, probably the only way we can survive his men attacking us. Take him and Sarah a safe distance away. Use hacking to disable Sarah's collar. Have Dade knock Rick out. Use hacking to trigger Rick's collar's silent self-destruct after a 24 hour timer.

>>1558522
[shit[
-look at mable and the others- "I suggest you leave now"

or with his idea>>1558523
say "maybe not the girl" pistol whip him in the nose and get him in a headlock with a gun at his head. human shield

>>1558521
He said it would kill everyone in the city. you don't even know where you'd begin to try to disarm them, and removing them without doing so would set it off as well. Rick has an entire villlage and his wasteland knowledge behind him. the odds are stacked against you. "You would kill a little girl." He stares at you with a peircing gaze, even through his glasses before setting Sarah down.

>>1558527
welp plan failed don't do it

>>1558448
kek
>>1558527
>>1558529
lol

>>1558527
"the question is Richie -mockery- would you?"
-to the party- "leave now"

>>1558529
That plan doesn't hinge on being able to disable the bomb collars

(does Magnus actually give a fuck about the child?)

>>1558532
"She'd die without me out here anyway."

>>1558535
he would feel bad but ultimately no, and he put the kid down his hands are free

>>1558540
>>1558535
isn't magnus a textbook pscycopath with a few exceptions for his party members?

>>1558539
then she is dead anyway isn't she?"
I hope our friends left, if they can

>>1558535
>>1558540
Really the question is how much does he care about killing an entire city of people to kill one guy.
>>1558542
Sociopath? He doesn't seem to veer into the reckless endangerment territory when I last checked.

>>1558546
its about 15 people all together, and I am willing to sacrifice that. the only people I have to keep safe is our friends. that's how I play him. so theres that

>>1558542
So far Magnus:
>claims to be a psychopath
>Feels guilt from harming innocents
>Has no reservations about deception
>Finds slavery immoral
>Finds pedophilia immoral
>Finds sadism immoral
>Gives no fucks on whether someone is a mutant
>Seemingly feels no guilt killing people in self-defense
>vengeful

>>1558543
The group tried to run off but got stopped by the tribals who are holding them, it takes four of the stongest ones to hold dade.

Rick looks down to sarah "Sarah, go inside honey." She runs inside. "You're gonna kill yourself."

>>1558547
it's more like 30 people.

>>1558549
sounds more just like a dude. It'd be alot more fun if you acutally played hi how you claimed. Or mabey he's just a really edgy snowflake.

>>1558551
>Or mabey he's just a really edgy snowflake.
Edginess is a part of the job description.

>>1558549
I never claimed to be a pycopath, that was given by naga sake, and that's preety accurate. "release them rick. you know what I get like when they are endangered"

>Magnus considers himself a "high-functioning psychopath" like Moriarty just like how Blake considers himself a gunslinger like Clint Eastwood

>>1558555
So they're both delusional?

>>1558554
"NO! HAAHAHAHA! If you kill me I'll blow up and kill us all, if you seriously hurt me I'll get the tribe to kill you all. Walk out out here and never come back, let me FUCK in private. Hehe" He seems happy, almost like he's just fucking around with old freinds, demenor wise anyway.

>>1558556
Correct.

>>1558556
does it realy matter in the grand scheam of things? I intend to kill rick. he will die. I don't care how he will die

>>1558560
"sure" -holster our gun turn 180, and walk- "ill be back rick, and when I do don't think the threat of death will save you"

>>1558559
He actually plans to just let us go? What a dumb ass. May as well take his offer, try for a better opportunity to kill him.

>>1558561
Don't tell him you'll be back he might change his mind

>>1558563
fine, change the last part to "this isn't over. not by a long shot"

>>1558560
yes

>>1558559
>Walk out out here and never come back, let me FUCK in private. Hehe
>>1558561
>>1558563
He's doing this on the assumption he won and we've resigned ourselves, so let him believe that.

>>1558566
fine just say "sure, goodbye you bastard I hope the rad storms claim you"

>>1558568
sure

>>1558563
You don't tell him you'll be back. You walk over to the party an the tribe opens up the exit, as you walk out you hear him shout "You know why I'm letting you live, right? It's a fate worse than death for you, knowing that I'm still out here, surviving, THRIVING, being a raider and a tribal chief, and mating with any man or woman I want, doing jet ALL DAY."

>>1558570
Yep, figures.

>>1558570
-call over our shoulder- "I always knew you were more bent than a wet noodle, HAVE FUN IT WONT LAST" -shoot a tribal hut or something on the way out, just s bit of spite-

The last thing you hear walking away is "Sarah, it's safe to come out now, Richie actually wants you to work your specialty"

It's kinda fucked up that I identify with Rick so much, besides the pedophillia part. Like I said before the default characters are based of of charcacters me and my friends play in a tabletop fallout RPG, and I play Rick in that. It's kinda spooky to see how one other person can change a group dynamic so drastically.

YOU DO NOT SHOOT ANYHTING OR ANYONE, THAT'S A DEATH SCENTANCE RIGHT THERE, YOUR SMARTER THAN THAT!

You stop about a half mile off and Blake asks "Where do we go from here?"

>>1558576
eh, can I at least spit at someones feet? if not just head back to trop

We should try and find out how powerful his bomb collar actually is, it's probably not strong enough to destroy a city, It might not even trigger on death. If we learn how to manipulate bomb collars we can kill him without collateral damage, or better yet kill him with his collar if the radius is the same as a normal collar.

>>1558578
"back to trop, this isn't done but we cant do anything else"

>>1558576
>YOU DO NOT SHOOT ANYHTING OR ANYONE, THAT'S A DEATH SCENTANCE RIGHT THERE, YOUR SMARTER THAN THAT!
I don't know, I think Baltard had some points on us.

>For confronting a mini-boss and surviving you've gained experience and leveled up!

>You now have 30 Skill points to spend or save and can take 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.

>Black cat: You have shit luck, life hates you, but you have the amazing ability to give everyone else around you (Allies and enamies) Shit luck as well

>A reputation to uphold: Good or Bad, Word has gotten out about you, sometimes you'll find suprises from people on both sides.

>eagle vision
why is black cat even considered? we run a team and lets face it that's already there. but anyskills you want?

>>1558589
>>Black cat: You have shit luck, life hates you, but you have the amazing ability to give everyone else around you (Allies and enamies) Shit luck as well
Does this mean we get worse luck than usual, can we control the bad luck we radiate or is it constant?

>>1558591
I think we should go with eagle vision, but anyway I think with skills, maybe we should do disguise. then we can go back eventually I think it will help eventually. any who lets go back to the enclave

>>1558595
Blake already has the disguise skill.
Eagle Vision seems like the best perk here.
I say buy scrapper, and spend the rest on energy

>>1558591
You have 2 luck, you lower the luck of everyone around you to 2 24/7, but it could help against some enamies in a luck situation.

>>1558590
>>1558595
So yes to eagle vision? okay, this is just from a GM point of view, I'd buy the 'Traps' skill (as bomb collars count as traps) and put the rest of the points into energy.

Also a caviat with eagle vision, you have to activate it, it's not passive, you need to say 'I use eagle vision to see ___'

>>1558601
hmph well then we got scrappers or traps. and putting the rest into energy.

>>1558589
>>Eagle Vision: your perception is so good you can see people and certain items through thin walls
>>1558602
Eagle vision it is.
How difficult is to defuse a bomb collar, is it easier to defuse subsequent collars once we've already defused one?

>>1558612
so lets go with traps then, I trust GM judgment and lets face it, I am now paranoid lets set traps before we sleep

Bomb collar? Well I can't really tell you that'd be to easy. Judging by your perception you can guess It'd be at least moderately hard considering that his seems to be non standard.


I'm updating the character sheets, so is it traps or scrapper?

Rolled 49 (1d100)

I'm voting traps. lets have a roll for luck against our blood enemy. [I'm being dramatic]

You make it to the rest stop before nightfall and the group's tiredness. The men from before seem to have built their own tent out of scrap and gator skin, with a simpler hole in the center for a fireplace, much sturdier and more permanent than yours. "Oh hey, fellas, I heard a great story today from one of the traders who stopped by our rest stop."

>>1558624
>>1558622
>>1558618
Traps, we can use it the most right now.

>>1558624
"what did you hear? and I warn you we are not in a good mood so that may be why we are downed slightly"

[I need to charge up my device, so ill give you my plan, talk with shav and the others find out who runs the enclave outpost, then go there. we need an executor and some heavy wepons like a rocket launcher, then bombard the village to KILL THAT MOTHER FUCKER, I DONT CARE ABOUT THE OTHER HUMANS KILL THEM ASWELL, THEY ARE MUTANTS KILL THEM ALL]

"Don't worry it's a good story. Far far away, in the deaserts of the west, there's a vault, a vault 13. One day their water cleaning system broke, and they sent out one unnamed man to find a replacement. This isn't the wasteland we know now, back in those days it was alot more dangerous. But this man scowered the whole wasteland looking for a chip, and when he gave the overseer the water cleaning chip, the overseer wouldn't let him in because the wasteland had 'changed him'. and you know what he did in response? He went and killed a bunch of mutants to protect the vault that cast him out."

>>1558636
HOLY SHIT, WHEN DID MAGNUS BECOME A EGENICIST?!

>>1558636
no need to rush, Rick's not going anywhere and he's not getting anymore powerful. (If he's huffing jet all day he'll probably start becoming a wreck)

We should focus on the mission, get more powerful over time and better equipment and then return.

>>1558651
when my frustration grow to almost lethal levels. that's when.
>>1558651
fair enough but we should go to the enclave we need more wepons

>>1558639
huh what the moral of this story?

>>1558711
>>1558711
"Why does it need a moral? I just thought it was cool."

>>1558867
it does not need one, it simply usualy has one with an ending like that" -look around for things to make traps of-

Not much else happens, you take shifts sleeping that night, and then continue on to the trop, about halfway there you are apoached by a man in a black and yellow suit, wearing a black and yellow mask to cover his face and nd wearing a top hat "STOP RIGHT THERE GOVERNMENT DRONES! YOUR PATH ENDS HERE! I, ANARCH, AM HERE TO STOP YOU!" He's comdicaly expressive.

>>1560497
"fuck off moron"
-Point weapon at him-

>>1561439
"Just as I'd expect, imposing martial law to force ovedience. That won't work on me" He lunges at you, tackling you. He's immediately shot in the back by Blake who pulls out both hjs pistols. They get lodged in his armour but do not affect him.

Dade's first response is to hit Anarch in the back with his bat. He does so, breaking anarch's back, and paralizi ng him from the waist down, thw force does go through yku however and the pressure on your stomach causes you to throw up

I'm a newfag here, i'm interested in joining, but I don't know if now is the right time, considering whats happening here.

Is there some way I can weave in?

>>1562066
Read the first thread then this one, you'll understand how it works from there

"okay... Mable wanna heal this guy? I don't really want to kill him but he wont survive without use of his legs"

(Also what kind of armour is he wearing)

>>1562613
don't heal the bastard yet. Negotiate from a position of power. pump him for info on who he is why he is so stupid and if he works for himself. then strip him of his armour and weapons, we might decide to do something after.

as a side not how the fuck did he tell we are enclave? see us talking with shav and friends? us making the tent?

>>1562912
You don't know how he knows. You roll him over onto his back and stand up, whiping the puke off yourself and flinging it onto him. "how did you know we where in the enclave, and who are you working for"

"I WORK FOR NOBODY, I'M THE WASTELAND'S VOLUNTERY SAVIOR. AND YOU WILL NOT STOP ME, VILLAN"

He's wearing what seems to be old world riot armour and a rubber mask painted yellow and black, colors that represented some old world philosiphy.

>>1563311
you are deluded good sir, now would you like healing? or shall I leave you out here to die?

"I'm not gonna die" He says as he pulls a stimpak out and injects himself before running off faster than you can react.

>>1563339
-look at my partey and shrug- any comments? -and keep walking to trop-

You get to the trop in saftey, what do you do from there?

>>1563414
hmph go talk with shav and friends, I need a it more info

>>1563428
SHAD!!! SHADIVER!!!

you head into the enclave base and see only Zoneyetta there, and not Shadiver at all.

>>1563539
"Whats wrong? wheres shav?"

>>1563572
"Who's shav?"

>>1563704
"soory wont use my slang for him, shadiver. where the fuck is he and why are you yelling?"

>>1563715
"I'm not yelling" She says "Are you okay?" Remember the only time someone says something is if it's in quotes. Huehuehue. "He's in the back, don't go back. He's hurt."

>>1563721
[that's such a dickish thing to do, I would congratulate you but not when its done to me]

"oh sorry I must have been mistaken, we found rick but I couldn't kill him without having these lot killed as well. and since then ive been hearing a voice describing things to me, that's recently been an arse and another telling me what to do. also I need some information" -and sigh-

>>1563721
"Zoneyetta, ever heard of a bomb collar that triggers when the wearer dies and is powerful enough to destroy a 'city'?"

>>1565986
it doesn't need to be, it simply triggers the tribals collars as well, so that they all die. shit if the party was not in the blast range, I would have shot him..BASTARD

>>1566057
where does it say the tribal fags were wearing BCs?

>>1566079
here it is
>>1558559
>>1558527
>>1558506

its all here,

>>1566082
The tribals where not wearing collars, only rick and Sarah where.

"I've heard of slave collars that are set to blow up at a certain distance from their master or from a button press, but it's only enough to kill one person. Mabey with some modifications someone could do that."

>>1566132
[I got duped didn't I...... MOTHER FUCKER]

-sigh- well anyway quick question who runs the enclave outpost to the east?

>>1566135
"Captain. McKinny runs the enlave outpost to the east. Also, Just so you know, Rick's the one who hurt shadiver, so he's lost his ties here."
