Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

6:30 AM

The morning has arrived. The group is stirring about the campsite.

Most of you might notice Oliver, who is purring and rubbing up against a few of you as the little tabby cat stretches. It would seem that Roland's small companion stays near its master.

The day ahead provides some options...you might recall the mention of a shortcut through old Diablo Canyon...or you all might decide to press on down the main trail to Uncanny Valley. The day, however, seems promising. The day is clear and the temperature promises to be pleasant as the sun rises.

OOC:

With a common knowledge (or appropriate skill) check you would know about how far the shortcut trail should be from your current location.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

When Collie is woken up, she stretches in her bedroll before climbing out of it. "Haven't slept that well in a long time. Must be 'cause of all the strong men watching over me", she comments as she starts to get ready. She slept in most of her clothes, only taking off the armored parts she took from the armory and her leg brace. "We were planning to go through this canyon, right?", she asks as she reattaches the walking aid while looking out back towards where they came from. "But I'm pretty sure we must have passed it yesterday."

OOC:

Collie has no idea where the canyon could be...

:) Collie would think, in fact, she would feel certain that the canyon pass is about 10 miles behind you all.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Monte wakes up from his sleep and starts packing, his stomach empty and grumbling. Hearing Collie's inquiry Monte thinks about it.

Answering her question (

OOC:

Monte will give her the correct answer as the GM sees fit

), Monte walks away from the group, heading in the direction he thinks he saw the red lights at in the night lloking to see if he can find any tracks in the dirt or signs of their presence (

OOC:

Please add +2 if you think Woodsman Edge applies to this terrain

)

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

OOC:

Sure, with a roll of 8 Monte certainly corrects Collie's misdirection. Furthermore, Monte is certain the red light was in the direction that the current trail leads to and that you all should reach the supposed old abandoned Diablo Canyon trail about midday today if you leave promptly around...say 8:00 AM.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Collie raises and eyebrow at Monte when he tries to correct her. "Excuse me?", she says. "I'm pretty sure that's the way."
She looks at the others to back her up.

"Hello coffee my old friend." Vivian doesn't get involved in the direction scheme simply getting ready, taking care of her horse. Brushing her mount and checking her hooves.

When ready she mounts up.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

"Mmm... No, miss," Monte replies to Collie with a deadpan response. "You notice them prints on th' groun' headin' in the d'rection you're pointin' an' you'll see we followin' a bunch'a horses that got them shoes put on backwards. That or them's our horses prints..."

OOC:

Couple of questions:
1. Monte didn't notice any prints on the ground where the red light was?

2. Can monte make a Survival Test to try and drum up some food while on the back of his horse today, assuming nothing else divide's his attention?

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

"Yeah, 'cause we must have passed the entrance to the canyon yesterday, genius!", she replies, getting annoyed by Monte's obvious ignorance and his implication that she's being dumb. She starts packing up her belongings so they can get on the road again.

OOC:

I'd say with that roll of 8, Monte did investigate a bit and find some curious tracks leading off in his presumed direction of the hidden shortcut trail. Furthering his certainty of it. Sure, Monte could give a Survival check to the surrounding area that would take, say about an hour as they're packing up camp. We say you all stirred awake and got to moving around about 6:30 AM.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

John awakens with a start to see that it is dawn. "You didn't wake me for my watch," he says somewhat accusingly to Vivian. Then his expression softens. "Thank you. Guess that I shouldn't complain about extra sleep. I owe you a watch, though."

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Doc is lashing his crates to his horse when he hears Monte and Collie getting into it.

"I wouldn't go fightin' with Monte when it comes to navigatin' out here, Collie. This is his laboratory, after all. It'd be like him telling you how many ohms to use in your resistor circuit." He chinches the lash and faces the two of them.

"I say we listen to Monte and try and catch that canyon."

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Roland awakens after a full night of rest. "GOOOOOOOD MORNIN" he says to no one in particular. Another day, another dollar." He shakes away the morning fatigue and looks around for Oliver. "There you are lil buddy." He starts to pet Oliver as he finishes saddling up. "Seems these folks are having a lil spat on which way to get going. Haha thought it'd be easy enough to figure out. What you think buddy should we take sides?" Oliver jumps out of Rolands hands and scurries quickly over to Monte's side. Clearly having chosen. Roland joins the fray a moment later. "Far be it from me to disagree with the cat. Hahaha! I think Monte's got the upper hand here but hey when it comes to navigating those metal heads I'm with you all the way Collie." Roland picks up Oliver and puts him back in his overcoat pocket.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Collie frowns, still convinced Monte is wrong. "Fine, we'll try your way then", she says. "But don't come complaining to me when we waste a day of travel because you can't navigate properly."
With an annoyed expression, she - clumsily because of her injured leg - climbs onto her horse. She's not in a mood to talk anymore and just wants to get going.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

Monte sees Collie climb on her mount. "Maybe you c'n turn 'round and sit backwards on your horse an' you'll be feelin" better 'bout the direction you think you're headed."

"Also," he says to everyone, "I thought I seen some red color'd lights while on my watch las' night, was why we was takin' to doubling up. I walked over there to where I think I seen 'em and there's some curious lookin' tracks headed in the direction we're goin'. So I think we should all be on our guard fer the day. Collie, since you're so intent on lookin' th' direction we already come from, I think you'll do a pretty fine job o' watchin' our backs. With his matter of fact way of speaking, it's unclear if he's pulling her leg or serious.

Having little to pack up before the trip, Monte will try another stab at scrounging up some breakfast.

OOC:

Holy jeez! That's a success with three raises on my wild die for drumming up some food.

"Keep an eye on them tracks, Monte. Be good to know if they break off from the direction we're headin'! Let's get ta gettin'!" Doc mounts his horse, ready to leave.

Re: Operation "Milk Run" - Day 2

During Monte's scurrying around for food, he finds a fresh small stream of clearly fresh and drinkable water nearby...possibly connecting to the nearby Mississippi River. He also finds loaded Blueberry bushes and loaded plum trees with indigenous wild plums. The amount of food he found is quite substantial and would supply three people enough to much on for at least 3 days.

As Monte loads up his bounty of food and water the morning is in full light. It's close to approximately 8:00 AM.

OOC:

I'm assuming Monte and a few of you would be able to tell the approximate time given your survival training and just being in that time period. What all would you like to do? Set out? Hold up? If you all would like to set on out just give me the go-ahead and I'll push us forward in the day to about the moment you all would be looking for that shortcut.
