Prelude (Finale) - Fort Ohm...Gearing up.

Cosmic_Cube Inactive forever!

OOC:

So I came in with nearly $500 worth of gear including a $300 horse. Does that equipment count toward my $500 allotment and if so, can I turn any of that gear in to be able to unlock other gear? I would ideally like to buy a pistol and was under the impression we'd be issued a Dragoon when we arrived, but probably can't square the circle to have both a horse AND a pistol. If anybody in the group doesn't have a horse, I'd probably ditch mine in favor of a pistol, but if everybody has a horse I'll try to make due with my Tesla objects that give me powers.

No horse here. John purchases a canteen, bandoleer, bedroll, ten days of trail rations, mess kit, gun belt, holster, and replenishes his supply of bullets by picking up 15 cast-iron rounds. Total Cost: $50.

Considering I'm lame, I will probably want a horse, just so I don't have to limp around all the time. I'll make a full list of items tomorrow!

OOC:

You all have $500 in addition to whatever you brought with you. :)

OOC:

Horses will be issued to everyone. No need to purchase one.

Can I get the weights for the Colt Dragoon Pistol and the Henry Rifle? Also the buckskin leather armor and chaps?

OOC:

The Colt Dragoon Pistol weighs in at 4 lbs and the Henry Rifle at 7 lbs. The buckskin armor weighs 5 lbs and the chaps weigh 6 lbs.

And cast iron ammo works for both robots and squishier targets?

If you’re asking me, then yes, I would say it is just a costly round of ammo compared to standard, but would get the job done against a fleshly target as well.

The main purpose of this scene is to just simply gear up with whatever you feel your character may need PLUS anything you previously brought with you to the fort. From here we will move on into the actual adventure very soon. :) Please drop any questions or whatnot you may have.

Monte looks over the guns. His Springfield has served him well over the years. It's durable and trustworthy. But it weighs eleven pounds and took a long time to load. As he turns the fancy-fandangled Henry Rifle in his hands he feels guilty and ashamed for his covetousness. But the rifle and the Dragoon pistol together weigh the same as his Springfield, the Henry's range is said to out-distance his old Springfield, and it holds 17 shots... Ashamed at feeling like a kid in a candy store, he sets his old reliable Springfield on the graying gentleman's counter. "This is a good rifle, an' 'as served me well. But I git the feelin' I'm gonna be needin' something a bit slicker for a while, an' it's a bit too heavy everthin' I want. I'd be 'bliged if you take care o' it for me, and maybe you won't 'ave issued it out to anyone afore I git back to collectin' it after this is over with."

OOC:

Monte's going to get rid of his Springfield and it's 50 rounds of shot, and take a new Henry Rifle instead. He also grabs a pair of buckskin leather and chaps, and a rifle holster for the horse he rides.

Monte looks at the cast iron ammo for a bit, hefting a bullet in his hand, but shakes his head. I'm curious 'bout these, but eighteen pounds fer a couple dozen rifle bullets jes' ain't economical fer the distance I gotta feelin' we may be coverin' Likely break muh back afore I even git in my firs' fight. Les' jes' hope rifle will do the trick..."

Roland turns in his requisition form excitedly awaiting what new gear this expedition could promise.

Galvanic Knuckles: These oversized, rubber-lined gauntlets are outfitted with sparking electrical nodes along the knuckles that deliver quite a wallop when activated.

Breastplate (sheet-iron, +3 Armor, covers torso) - $200
Chaps (+1 Armor, covers legs, +1 to Riding rolls to resist Fatigue) - $4
Double-Barrel Shotgun (12/24/48, 1-3d6 Damage, RoF 1-2, Shots 2) - $35
?Shotgun ammo
Matches (box of 250) - $0.50
Lantern (5' radius) - $2
Lantern Oil (per gallon) - $0.50
Bipod/Tripod 2lb, 100$
Rifle w/Holster - $5

Total Cost: 495$

OOC:

Depending on the cost for shotgun rounds I'll probably have to change things up a bit. I might forgo the breastplate in that case but let me know and I'll adjust. Also sorry I haven't been super responsive lately, life gets crazy and hectic.

No worries indeed. Life is like that, which is the reason I've migrated to more PbP than IRL sessions.

Each of your characters has had a similar encounter as listed below.

Quartermaster Gilliard looks you all over as you gather your equipment and keeps a running list. As you each gather your supplies he instructs you to head over to the Training Grounds where the First Sergeant is waiting to run you through a few things.

"Well, now you're all geared up. Head over and see the First Sergeant, he wants to see what you know and...what you don't know.
If you'll be needing anything else from me...well, you know where to find me.

[ +- ] Equipment

Collie strolls through the armory. The different weapons they have here intrigue her more than anything else she finds. She definitely keeps her dad's gun with her but she also picks up one of the fancy ones they got here and she can't resist a magnetic harpoon. If I want to inspect those cogs we're fighting, I'll definitely need to roll one in for inspection, she tells herself as she puts the weapon on her requisition sheet.
For the rest of the equipment, she just looks what everyone else is taking and hopes she doesn't forget anything important.

Once equipped, she heads to the First Sergeant with the other recruits as instructed.

Jan 28, 2020 3:32 pm

Monte shrugs on all his gear. It's approaching the limit he can carry over long distances comfortably, but it'll have to do. He stops and ponders for a moment...

OOC:

How big are these robots? Are we talking Iron Giant big? 100 feet tall? 50 feet? 10?
