The Hunter has plenty of supplies to build 1+ IEDs. Daniel's crew will drive to the settlement during the next evening shift.

In terms of time, you could plan something like this:

Morning Shift: Gas Station
Day Shift: Build IED
Evening Shift: Ambush
Night Shift: Sleep.

All I need from the group at this moment, is to confirm your plans for the Morning Shift. I can put up a poll if that helps.

Works for me.

So are we splitting those rations Sheepdog found 3 ways?

Split the rations three ways, yep. Those shifts look good, depending on how the morning shift goes. :)

Cool. He gets to eat two more days. Now if only we could find some water. Should we be bottling our urine? ;)

Moving forward. All three characters slept soundly. I've updated the GM Stat Tracking reference page. It's a new day!

Day 4 Morning Shift - Clear Skies
The three get up early and drive to the gas station, and it's exactly in the location that the hunter described.

The gas station is remarkably easy to spot from a distance. It stands alone, having served as a gas station and bait and tackle shop in its previous life.

Surrounded by a ten-foot-tall metal fence, the top of this barrier is lined with razor wire to deter any unauthorized entry. Large signs, placed 20 meters from the fence's perimeter, feature bold letters that emphatically caution: "WARNING DANGER DEATH DISEASE EXPLOSIVES." These warnings are inscribed in Polish, Russian, and English. The ground surrounding the outside of the fence bears visible signs of disturbance, likely indicative of landmines that were placed in a deliberate attempt to deter rather than ambush potential intruders.

Inside the fenced area, a truck is conspicuously parked. Next to the truck stands a solitary gas pump. The sole entrance and exit point through the fence is a gate located at the front, securely padlocked with substantial chains.

The gas station boasts several intriguing features. Within the fenced area, there are two wind turbines, along with a solar panel array adorning the building's rooftop. Rainwater buckets are strategically positioned outside to collect rainwater. Surveillance cameras are affixed to all four sides of the building, while a loudspeaker is attached to the front, adding to the site's overall uniqueness. At the highest point of the flat roof, there appears to be an area designated for gardening, although it currently lays barren and devoid of any vegetation.

It's quite difficult to get a drawing of exactly what I need for this. However, this image should help give you an idea of scale.

Tedic takes a look out of the window of the driver's seat.

"Oh, looks like someone's made a nice place for themselves. This could be difficult."

"Might be willing to trade, though," Baker says as they survey the station from afar. "Someone's got a pretty sweet setup going..."

What's your general approach/strategy to this gas station?
Nov 6, 2023 5:53 pm
"Wish the old hunter has told us about all this." He sighs. "Yeah, Sheepdog. Maybe they will."
OOC:
If no one objects, Cunningham will call out to see if anyone's home.

"You want me to set up," Sheepdog says, squinting as he surveys the terrain, looking for the best over-watch position, "o'er there? Provide some cover if you're just gonna walk up to the fence and do some talkin'? Ask to trade for some gas?"
Nov 7, 2023 3:42 am
"Couldn't hurt. Especially if they don't want to be polite." There's an implied wink in his tone.

Does Cunningham walk directly up to the main entrance to the fence? I'm assuming he will want to avoid walking around the other sides because they clearly are marked with landmines.

Does he go right up to the fence, or does he stand back from a distance and shout? Does he go with Reed and the vehicle, or does he walk?

Cunningham will walk towards the gas station but keep his distance. He'll assume that it'll be enough time for Sheepdog to get into position and get ready. Once there, he'll holler a hello.

As Cunningham draws near, a loudspeaker suddenly echoes, "GO AWAY! There is nothing here but death. This world is teeming with death and despair."
Nov 7, 2023 8:32 pm
Cunningham halts in his tracks (if he hasn't done so already). He shouts back, "We were hoping to trade for some fuel."

Following a brief pause, the speaker's voice resonates again, stating, "Leave your trade items outside the gate and return in an hour. I'll leave an equitable amount of fuel in exchange." Another interval of silence ensues.
Nov 8, 2023 3:05 am
"I'll be back. I have to go get them." Cunningham heads back the way he came. He hopes that Sheepdog saw and heard the exchange. He'll go talk to Reed and see what they have to give up.

OOC:
Traveling for work again this week — I won’t be able to check in much until the weekend, FYI. Baker doesn’t have a ton to trade. Perhaps we could perform a service of some kind?

Upon returning and discussing the situation further, Cunningham gathers that the man would be immensely grateful if someone could deal with a troublesome bear that's been causing quite a disturbance. The bear frequents an area just to the north of the gas station.

OOC:
Oh ok. Odd jobs work better than trading, IMO.
Cunningham tries to sound upbeat. "Alright boys, looks we're huntin' some bear."
