Well, there's no need to bring both vehicles into the city. And if Baker wants to guard the armed humvee, that works. I'm hoping that Cunningham can use his persuasion & psy ops combo to make a sale on the other one.
Cunningham asks the guards, "Is there a marketplace where people are buying and selling stuff? We're looking to sell one of our vehicles. Maybe your CO would be interested in acquiring it to bolster defense of your city."
OOC:
Not sure if their English is good enough to understand CO = Commanding Officer. If not, then he drops the acronym.

Not everyone speaks great English, but one guard does. The guard responds "A Humvee, huh? We've seen our share of traders coming through here with promises and goods. We don't just buy anything without thorough inspection. But if it checks out, it might be something the higher-ups would consider. Come back in the morning, and we'll take you to someone who can evaluate the vehicle."

"If you're looking for more items to buy, head to the town center. Around noon, people set up stalls right in the streets. You'll find a bit of everything there. The better-off sellers might even have store fronts. Just be cautious; not everyone there is friendly to newcomers."

"And if you're looking for a place to stay, Stare Czasy (Polish for old times) is your best bet. It's an old hotel, mostly used for the bar these days. Jadwiga runs the place; she used to be an English professor before the war. She can probably find you a room for a price. Just keep your wits about you; things have changed since before the war."

Baker watches from the second humvee as the LT negotiates. With his window down, he hears snips of the conversation, and doesn't much like the idea of staying in the city. If asked, he'll voice his opinion.

"Stay outside the city limits till dawn, get some rest. Then head in, make some trades and hit the road. Me and Jakub hang out outside if we need to, lookin' after the humvee with the fifty. Or we can stow it somewhere and go in together."

"My thoughts exactly."

Speaking privately, quietly, Sheepdog shrugs. "I could also hide the fifty, wrap it and bury it in the woods, yonder. That would let us roll in with both jeeps in the morning, and leave in one after selling the other. Then we grab the gun and get gone. Whatever you think works, sir."

"Not a bad idea. Keeps the brass here from salivating over the fifty and wanting to alter the deal."

OOC:
Sheepdog, go ahead and make a RECON roll to determine how well you hide the fifty cal. That will take the remainder of the night shift. - It might not come into play at all, but it's good to get the roll out fo the way just in case.

When morning shift arrives, everyone will have the sleep deprived status and take 1 stress. I believe that Sheepdog already has 1 stress.

Let me know what you plan on doing during the morning shift. Let's have Cunningham make the RECON roll for lookout. If the group splits up, someone will need to make a RECON roll for the lookout of the other party.

Rolls

Weather Roll - (1d6)

(5) = 5

OOC:
Can at least one other person not rest? I figured one on watch, one hiding the fitty. You could argue it's a two-man job dismounting it and such though. The gun alone is 80+ lbs.

Edit: Pushing, searching harder and longer for the right cover.
Edit Edit: two successes.

Rolls

Intel (d10) + Recon (d8) to hide the fitty - (1d10, 1d8)

1d10 : (5) = 5

1d8 : (3) = 3

Pushing - (1d10, 1d8)

1d10 : (10) = 10

1d8 : (2) = 2

Question, how does stress heal? I feel like we haven't covered that yet.

I figure most of the shift was already occupied with everyone doing something. About half of it was dedicated to driving from Kielce to Busko. After that, time was spent chatting with the guards. The remainder of the time was used to find a suitable spot to conceal the fifty.
Harrigan says:

There is no way anyone is going to find that weapon even if they were actively looking for it.
saevikas says:

You heal 1 point of stress for each full shift spent resting or sleeping. This assumes that you are not sleep deprived or hypothermic.

Day 5 - Morning - Clear Skies
Sheepdog completes the task of concealing the Browning M2HB .50 machine gun just as the first rays of dawn begin to break through. The sunlight provides a welcome relief from the dropping temperatures.

Daniel Cunningham: Recon (Intelligence) - (d8)

I guess if there's something out there to be seen, Cunningham spotted it.

OOC:
Do you all head into town first or get the Humvee inspected?
Dec 19, 2023 12:24 am
OOC:
I don't think it makes too much of a difference. Perhaps get the Humvee inspected first? I figure the place would be more active after morning. Might also give some of us the chance to sleep.
Dec 19, 2023 1:11 am
OOC:
Any chance a couple of us could shop / negotiate while the inspection is going on?

Yeah of course.

You can split up. I'll pull encounters for each separate group, and you'll need a lookout for each group.

What action would you like your character to take for the morning shift? Public

Take Humvee to Guard Station for Inspection.
Sleep in the other Humvee.
Go into town.
Something else.
Dec 19, 2023 2:39 pm

Which Humvee are you selling? Multi Public

Armored Humvee
Faster Humvee

OOC:
But we're only three (Jakub doesn't count), so can't have a lookout for each group and do something.

Was there a way to mount the MG to our old Humvee? I was under the impression that we were selling our old one because mounting the MG was an issue and the new one is armored.

And do we all want to sleep in a Humvee for the morning shift so that we can be rested for the afternoon shift?
