Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008     | Lilly listens to Flinn and Doyles points, then composes her point for a few moments, before stepping forward. Talking in a confident tone, Lilly tells the group "If we go as an entire group, then we risk dooming this entire quest. If it turns out to be a trap after all, then we could all be killed. Risking this entire expedition is just stupid, I say that we send the Chosen one to Karmath with most of the group.". Lilly stood back into the group that would follow the trail. Thinking to dissaude any more than is nexessary, "If you havent forgotten, these wastes are dangerous. We need to keep a group of guards to protect the Chosen One until he reaches Karmath, and I think that you will have plenty of trouble on the road ahead of you." she mentioned. 'Yeah, bandits and raiders' the thought flashed in her mind, and she grimaced for a moment. She stated "I agree with Doyle, we mustnt travel as one large group.". EDIT: Made it so that we arnt overlapping each other Qayin. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4233 Joined: 27 Apr 2008     | OOC: Two things pie, did you have something in mind for what kidnapped, or am I allowed to say that this is what my sidestory was leading up two, cause I actually had something like this in mind. Also can I still post? If so then interlude #1! IC:Darkness, all Jack saw was darkness, his binds were shredding into the flesh of his wrists, water dripped onto the top of his head, and he blinked as the daylight was brought in by the opening of the door, as a gigantic six-legged beast entered the room. Jack hit the floor with the speed of a hunter and pretended to be asleep, then he cocked his eye and saw the creature fall sit next to a table, that must be where all Jack's weapons were, now if he could just get to his hunting knife... |
On the Record  Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007   | "I would rather hunt this beast and find Jack rather than travel to Klamath. It would be a lot easier for me. Though we have no radios to communicate with each other, it would be easy to loose ourselves once we seperate." The Deathclaw spoke. Though his voice was intimidating and he was tall and horrifying, the group started to become less afraid of this giant lizard. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 723 Joined: 5 Jul 2008    | Mark seemed to be adjusting his stance; but then it appears that he was attempting to shrug his massive shoulders. "I go by hot girl. I care not where." |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2663 Joined: 20 Jul 2008     | "I shall stick by the Chosen One whatever happens. I have studied the wastelands for years and could easily guide him and the group, to wherever the GECK may be." "Also about our lack of radios. There is an outpost and cave up ahead that was used for research and a scientific base. We could get some supplies from there, though I think the area has become flooded with radioactivity and golden Gecko's or perhaps maybe they took Jack there? Some slavers, bandits and the odd mutant do occasionally prowl around that area so there could be a chance Jack is being held in that old outpost." |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | "I will go where I am needed...although I cannot really tell what lies in either direction, so I will wait to see what the others choose before I make my decision, and then I'll choose the group that is most lacking in my areas of expertise." "The lack of radios may not be a problem if we are going to meet in Kamath - those in Kamath may have to wait a day after their business is concluded, but radios, whilst handy, are not entirely necessary if the only way to get them is to travel through areas flooded with radiation." |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2663 Joined: 20 Jul 2008 | "Some of us would be able to easily wade through the radiation anyway. Us ghouls never really feel any effects to radiation though we could buy or nick the radios in Klamath." "It really comes down to what the Chosen One decides. Well "O Chosen One"? Where we gonna be headin' next?" |
BANNED  Posts: 530 Joined: 10 Jan 2008    | The chosen one looked around wildly, the choice he had to make was a big one. The way he saw it, he could go with half the group towards the village, but half of the group would mean half the safety, he liked being safe and half just wouldn't cut it. however, he didn't fancy walking towards something obviously hostile, there was nothing for it. "Friends, friends, i think it is an easy choice. While we COULD split up and go separate ways, there would no longer be safety in numbers. The wastes are a dangerous place, a lone traveler would be easy pickings for any number of strange and deadly things. We go together, we can't leave him behind and in doing so we can't split up. I have spoken it is decided... er... Let's go... where do these tracks point to anyways?" the chosen one finished, scratching his head in a very tribal manner. The tracks wound off into the distance a little while, towards some mountains. The chosen one shielded his eyes from the early morning glare of the sun, the wastes were heating up, they would have to travel through the heat peak of the day, this wasn't going to end well, he could feel it. OOC- Someone can take the lead on the tracks if you like, depending on what your skills are will depend if there are any surprises for any of you. I'll be posting sometime tomorrow, in about 12-15 hours, take it from here (With the roll thing, just assume you have made it down the tracks, OR you get confused if you can't make the roll depending on who leads the group. See you all in about 15 hours.) User was banned for: Lock please.. (Permanent) |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | Stepping to the front, Lilly motioned for the wolf-like creature to lead the way. She wasnt yet a fully trained tracker, and although she had some talent she didnt want to be responsible for missing the trail when the wolf could most likely smell it out. She also chose to ignore that large, mind speaking fool named Mark who announced his pleasure to follow her. 'Well, as long as he proves useful...' Lilly thought with a narrowed glance at him, and her grip on the spear tightened. She was determined to remain at front, and keep an eye out for any other tracks and possible traps. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | For fuck's sake, this man is an idiot , Doyle thought to himself. He cannot even make a sound decision. Feeling angry enough to speak out for once, Doyle made a point he was sure at least someone else would be thinking; "For the record, this plan, in my humble opinion of course, is not sound - if Vic moves on we may lose him altogether, so by dedicating all our resources in one direction we may be completely abandoning our objective, not to mention wasting precious time. Then again, it may only take us a few hours to find Jack, but I would just like it known that I think there could be consequences for this. However, as his oh so very 'chosen' One has spoken, it would seem we are following his direction - I suggest that the Deathclaw attempt to lead us, if he believes he can still follow the trail." |
BANNED Posts: 530 Joined: 10 Jan 2008 | The chosen one looked towards doyle, he knew this thing could be a problem. "Listen, would you rather leave our companion and trek off after some merchant that hasn't been seen for a good while, for all we know he could be dead. We could be chasing nothing. I'm, being realistic here. Look, you were told to come along because you aren't just some dumb tribal, you're smart and quick witted." he snapped," So you can either just shut up and we can go find him, or we can leave you out here in the wastes with a broken leg and you can crawl back!" he finished, it took a few moments before he realised he had snapped. "Uh.. Let's get moving, you say the Deathclaw can lead? Well then he should lead."The chosen one said more to himself then anyone else, to prove a distraction, he stared off into the distance of the wastes. User was banned for: Lock please.. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | Doyle refrained from speaking, knowing that this could lead no where good - people would take sides and that would separate the group if conflict arose. Not that he could actually break my legs...maybe take out a piston or two if he's lucky, but I'd squash his head like a grape before he'd have the chance. Doyle smiled as his mind calmed; there was no threat from the Chosen One, just a scared man afraid of losing face. Doyle would follow, once again, but he was losing his temper. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4233 Joined: 27 Apr 2008 | OOC: Okay it's escape time, don't worry, I've got a lot of Radscorps to go through before I escape. IC: The large creature fell asleep in it's chair and when Jack had finally cut his bonds loose he looked at the creature's face, it bore a certain resemblance to... OOC: Okay so I've killed the main captor, but the cave is probably littered with radscorps. |
On the Record Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007 | The deathclaw took the lead following the tracks. This of course was second nature to him as he's spent many times hunting his prey like this. "Did I ever tell you all about the dead Whale I found once. It wasn't even washed up on shore. It was a few kilometers inland. Ah, I feasted well that week." |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 723 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | "No. What is whale? And what is feast? Is like eat?" |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4233 Joined: 27 Apr 2008 | Interlude #3: The final interlude then you guys better haul ass to find me. IC: Jack, snuck out the door and pulled out his rifle and took up a position behind a rock and checked to see if the coast was clear, a Radscorp lumbered by and Jack held held his breath. |

Continuing on his path the Deathclaw looks at the tribal. "From what knowledge I was given from the Enclave, a Whale is a giant mamal tha- it's a big fish." The tribal still looked baffled. "Ah, a fish is a sort of- Well, imagine a slippery bird without wings that lives underneith the water. And yes, it is like eat." |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 723 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | After a long while of idle chat and casual threats, the party starts to wonder just how much longer the tracks can go on for... Mark suddenly looks attentive, and points to part of the trail. "Two thing go on far more, but wierd thing here!" As Mark continues to point at the tracks, it appears that two things have happened; a scuffle appeared here...and another trail has appeared, going at a 135 degree angle away from the original trail. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | Lilly snorted in mock laughter at the creatures assumption of whales. "Whales are as real as the tales told to the children within the village. It's all made up, imaginery fables told to teach the children the proper way of life." Lilly said in a knowing tone. But before the wolf creature could respond, Lilly walked past it and knelt by the tracks that Mark had pointed out. Looking closely at the tracks, Lilly decides that "The tracks seem to be heading in the same direction as that mountain up ahead. So far, only one set of tracks from that six-legged creature continue on.". Observing the tracks closer, Lilly wonders out loud "What happened to the other sets of tracks? It seems as if they just disappeared...". |
BANNED Posts: 530 Joined: 10 Jan 2008 | OOC- JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!! You were not kidnapped by radscorpions... You were kidnapped by BANDITS/RAIDERS with a SINGLE radscorpian... Sigh... Look... You were bound and gagged, i should of mentioned, that my bad. I don't know any more, i'll figure out a way to fix whatever was just broken. Also, how do you figure a radscorpian pulling a sack over your head, would it not just eat you if it was on it's own? :P Accidents happen, try not to trench so much haha. Ic- The chosen one looked at the pair, smirking slightly he stepped away from them, there was some kind of cave not too far, and it looked like it had been recently traversed. turning away from the conversation he called, " Besides, these whale's you speak of, are they mutants? I've never heard of creatures LIVING in the sea, you must be mistaken?" he smiled slightly after this starting towards the caved area. "Look, there's been some kind of tracks here, even i can make it out, I wonder what happened though." The chosen one pondered out loud, walking towards the entrance. It was too late, One of the group called out to tell him, but there was no chance that he could of heard, there was a twang, a boom and a crash. he had tripped a wire and it had detonated a mine placed over the entrance of the cave. It was pure luck that the chosen one was not crushed and killed, he managed to leg it out of the way as the rocks came crashing down. The entrance however was now severely blocked, it would take hours to unblock it, even with the strong tribal named mark moving some of the larger stones. "Well... Uh.. That wasn't very nice..." The chosen one spluttered standing up and dusting himself off. Looking up, he realised the entire group were just looking at him, mostly stunned, but the steel man looked rather bemused. A slight sound could be heard behind the wall of rocks, sort of like a soft yelling sound*. The chosen one put his ear to one of the large rocks; "I can hear a drumming, almost... it sounds like it's getting closer..." he said, stepping away from the rubble, the rest of the group was looking, not at him, but above him, some looks of terror and some looks of grim determination. "What? what's so serious?" he started before he looked up and he saw the massive pincers of a larger then life radscorpian. his face almost formed into an "Oh." look before he yelled wildly and hightailed it towards the group, pincers just missing. While he was not particularly skilled at combat, he was extremely lucky. The rest of the group readied for combat, their faces determined. *I know that a soft yelling sound is an oxymoron, but you know... :D ----- I'll post again soon-ish, in regards to the fight, you can fire on it, just don't post the outcome, just sort of state the Combat actions you are doing, mixed into your general actions I'll determin if you miss, crit fail or crit pass, however, if you crit fail you won't be punished too heavily. See you in about 12 hours or more. Also jack, i've been kind of concerned with the direction you're going with your story, if you could pm a basic plot line of what you intend to do to me, i'd appreciate it, so i could perhaps incorporate your plot into the main one. Cheers. User was banned for: Lock please.. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3777 Joined: 18 Dec 2007    | "No, no Whales exist, or atleast they did. We learnt about them back in the Vault, they where big mammals, like a bear, but they had flippers like fish. Their lungs are so big that they could hold their breath for hours on end. They had these things on their head called blowholes that snorted out the water they accidently swallowed and they kived on these little bugs called-" Patch stopped talking when he noticed that everyone was ignoring him and looking at the tracks in the sand. He had no idea about the tracks so he stood away from the group, starring off into the distance when he suddenly heard commotion behind him. He turned around and saw the Chosen one scuffling witha Rad Scorpion, panicking he took out his biggest knife and ran behind the Death Claw. |
On the Record Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007 | The deathclaw pounced upon the Radscorpion in an attempt to tear its shell to pieces. The radscorpions were an easy kill for the hulking lizard beast. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | "Umm...guys? This thing is a little too big for that I think!" He called out to the melee fighters, "That thing's claws are nearly as big as you, which, whilst fascinating, is kind of dangerous!" Doyle chose to retreat away from the thing, raising both pistols, and firing a few from the smaller, one high caliber shot from the revolver. "I do not want to have to carry your maimed, battered and broken corpses to Kamath!" |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 723 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | Mark lets off an unearthly howl; and starts rummaging into his pack for a pistol, and grabs one. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | Lilly had opened her mouth to reply, when the Radscorpion attacked the group. The Radscorpion let out a ear piercing, insectoid screech, and Lilly screamed out. She fell to her knees, holding her ears and hunching over. As the group fought the Radscorpion, too clear memory of herself being carried through the desert hit her, while the screams of those too faf behind hit her in her mind, and the insect-like screeches rang out in the dark. The memory snapped close as a hand grabbed her shoulder, and she felt herself being dragged backwards as the wolf creature fought the giant Radscorpion. Lilly managed to gain control of herself, and climbed to her feet as she unholstetred her weathered pistol. Raising the gun, she fired as the wolf creature was kicked off with the mad bucking of the enraged Radscorpion. OOC: Sorry if I took control, just let me know and I'll change it for you. Also, way to go with inserting back story while in combat for me. =) |

OOC: My hand is about half it's size. Growl. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 |
OOC; read what Pie posted, this Radscorp is rather larger than usual;
This is art for Fallout and shows a good comparison of man and Deathclaw As you can see, you are large, but at most only 33% larger than a man - this thing could still tear you in half with ease if you aren't careful - throwing yourself with reckless abandon does not count as careful :P Maybe you should wait for it to leave itself open to an attack? This thing is definitely much larger than all of us if Pie's description still applies, so throwing yourself at it, Deathclaw or not, is probably gonna hurt. So no, your hand is about one in twenty, maybe less, of it's full size - seeing as it's claws would be at least three times the size of your hand if it is half a human body. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | OOC: Holy-!!! I had no idea that a Death Claw was that big... But I still prefer to think of you as a wolf, it reminds me of Fitz Geral. =) |
On the Record Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007 | Hmm all good points. I'm still attacking it. I've seen the buring fires of the wasteland. I have no fear! EDIT for Toe_Bighter
|
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | OOC; Well, there ARE Hairy Deathclaws . And again, they're big, definitely nearing, perhaps just over 8 foot I'd say, but still not as big as this scorpion. EDIT; SIGH, well as long as you don't mention Sparta, or anything else to do with glorious battle, I'm okay with it. |
On the Record Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007 |
I don't really have a home persay. So no Sparta quotes from me. I just have a big appitite. |

OOC;...*points to Spleeni*...there's plenty of bacon on him...just saying, my legs are cold, horrible bits of machinery, he's a nice, warm, massive slab of pork....so chew on HIS toes if the need arises. |
On the Record Posts: 5674 Joined: 2 Dec 2007 |
I'll take that into consideration. Some members of this team are either made of metal or have rotten flesh. The rest smell...warm. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 824 Joined: 22 Mar 2008 | OOC: Hey, no ones getting any toes but me! Or havent you taken my name seriously? =) Now, I'll wait to see what happens... |

Doyle waited for Flinn to finish before responding;
"Splitting up is unfortunate but necessary - Vic may move along a trade route, causing us to travel even further and waste precious time, or perhaps losing him altogether. We cannot afford to completely sidetrack - I suggest that either the Chosen One or Galt takes a group to Kamath, as Galt would serve as a valuable guide as he has visited the area before, and of course the Chosen One's very presence would be very persuasive when it comes to achieving our goals.
However, it would seem that we cannot leave Jack behind, as we will most likely need his skills in the future, so we can not all go one way - we must send one group for Jack and another for Vic, as we cannot afford to waste time nor can we afford to lose a member of the team."
