Got two runs going right now.
One is for a text LP in a different forum. Nothing amazing. Slow progress, just finished first night raid, and playing a very cautious style.
Since writing an LP takes a heck of a long time, like I said not much progress is done. To get my fix of progress, I did another run where I can play without having to narrate what’s going on.
On that run, encountered the military outpost with raiders at night. They can’t see me, but in general I can’t really fight them. Just wearing the clothes my character started off with, and the supplies in the shopping cart I got are mostly food and books. From what I saw while sneaking around, all the raiders guarding the outpost use melee weapons.
So, with no way to fight them, I leave in another direction in search of somewhere to sleep.
Then by a stroke of luck I bump into it on an empty field. Several crates. Lost the makeshift crowbar I had, but I had a rock, so I smashed up the boxes and found a couple of dynamite and C-4.
Go back to the base, toss the bombs and run the heck away.
After I finish up, now my survivor has an army helmet, two army pants, an armored leather jacket, two spare leather jackets, two combat boots, an army jacket, a kevlar and MBR vest, and for the weapons side an aluminum bat, a quarterstaff, and a knife spear. Of course, several chunks of human flesh and bones for later consumption.
Hail explosives. A pack of coyotes earlier wounded my character quite a bit, but my survivor gets out of day 2 a more protected, a more warm, and better armed woman. Still need to find a place to sleep, though.
