THE THING - GAME ONE (FINISHED)

[Lavarinth]

Is that a gun? Search for Shotgun.

[Thalraxal]

"Now where did I leave that flashlight of mine?"

Search for other item (flashlight)

[FlyingHat]

There should be more than one in that wreck. Search for M16.

[Lavarinth]

FlyingHat, looking for a weapon? You realize you're already holding a Pistol, my copilot. If you'd prefer to hand that over so you can have your M16 I wouldn't mind. I have a feeling there really isn't a Shotgun in here.

[DrumsofWar]

Small note: Just like any action movie and FPS, you can have more than one weapon or even an infinity of them for some reason.  However, you can give or trade items but it will consume a day action.

[Tramau]

"I need to be able to defend myself. Who knows what's going to pop out at us next?"

Search for Weapon (Pistol)

(Apologies for the lack of bold, but my internet's down so I'm forced to do this on my phone.)

[DrumsofWar]

I'll end this day by tonight if AA7 doesn't sign in since I'll assume he's still fixing the radio.

Tramau: S'all good.

[Lavarinth]

What is that annoying whisper in my ear! Sounds like DoW.

[AA7Dragoon]

[me=AA7Dragoon]pauses in horror at what happened.  Regaining composure, he quickly wastes no time gathering supplies and shutting himself in the radio room to fix it before anything else crazy happens.[/me]

Search for Other item:  Tear Gas

[DrumsofWar]

Sorry, you can only either repair the radio or search for an item but you can "break" the repair and go back to it another day.

[AA7Dragoon]

Oh okay.  I thought you were expecting me to start a second action.

Continue repair.

[Lavarinth]

[me=Lavarinth]yells from outside.[/me]

Obviously, there's no tear gas in a radio room!

[DrumsofWar]

AA7Dragoon continues to repair the radio to prepare for the eventual escape which will take another 2 days.

Thalraxal, with an unsmoked pack of cigarettes, decides to add to his hoard of bartering goods by searching for a Flashlight.  However, instead of finding 1 Flashlight, he finds TWO.  (CRITICAL Roll of 12 for 12 vs. DC of 2)

Lavarinth trudges through the snow and tries to see if he can find a shotgun which he finds with his piloting skill easily.  (Roll of 12 - 2 Paranoia for 10 vs. DC of 8)

Tramau puts away his flashlight to search for a pistol but fumbles and trips over himself, losing 1 HP, before he can even get to the supply room.  (Roll of 2 - 2 Paranoia for 0 vs. DC of 6)

Mucky decides to join the pilots and head outside in search of some quality Antarctic ice, which he does with medical precision.

Flyinghat, not content with his trusty sidearm, tries to see if the Norwegian had a spare M16 but only manages to fall into a snow-covered sinkhole, losing 1 HP,  to Lavarinth and Mucky's laughter.  (Roll of 3 - 3 Paranoia for 0 vs. DC of 10)


As the day draws to a close, the two pilots have lost 2 HP from trudging outside and Mucky has lost 1 HP from joining them.  But before the next day will begin, THE THING must strike!

[FlyingHat]

Aw, balls.

[DrumsofWar]

Note: Right now, rolling a critical (12) on attack or defense gives no bonuses.  Would you guys be okay if a Critical on an attack roll meant doing a full 12 (unanswerable) damage and a Critical on a defense roll means they get a free counterattack?

If it's too complicated, let me know.  Also, keep in mind The Thing's human form could have been inside or outside while AA7Dragoon was killed inside so it could be anyyybodddyy.
