Out of character and upkeep

Post by Dave Syrinx »

A week and some to go.
I´ve started the ic-thread and made an NPC, your ROT-guy Sgt Thompson.
Two individuals have shown interest in joining the battle camp at Khe Sanh.
That is sufficient to proceed at the 26th.

More parties are welcome, though.

I´ll be setting up more things for the launch.
Cheers!

No worries, I didn´t spell the format rules out for you in the first place.

Cough.

Mr. Handy, you might want to keep that condom if you want to water-proof that sensitive M16 of yours.

Heh.

It also apparently excels as multi-purpose containers too. Good for carrying water in emergency... can be used for improvised explosives... for storing garrotes... acid... underwtaer explosive devices...

What Can't condoms do?

....Offer 100% reliability? :D

Anyways, on another note, do we list what we will be taking on the mission, omitting that which is left in the bunker.

Also, still wondering if the satchel charge originally listed as initial character equipment for my character is one and the same as the demolitions pack, i.e. Am I humping both around or just one?

Thanks!

@all: Sorry for disappearing like this.

Pickman37
: The two charges are different and you may pick and choose if you want to carry one, two or three charges.
The first one listed is a one pack with a fuse, used to blow up a bunker similar to the one you´re in right now - or a tunnel.
The second package equipped on the pack in the corridor holds two charges with the option to discharge remotely.

I´ll edit the sheets to contain what you keep.

Berkowitz takes:

Among his initial equipment: M-16, MK 2 Frag Grenades, Knife, .45 M1911 Pistol and his helmet

Items from the pack: - Camo cover for steel helmet (Which I'll affix to my helmet in advance)
- Jungle Boots (Which I'll put on now or before leaving)
- 1 pair of socks
- Water-proof canvas poncho
- mosquito-bite lotion
- matches
- sewing kit
- condoms
- one large guaze patch
- toilet paper
- safety pins
- bayonet (Attached to M16)
- chewing gum
- C rations
- 2 water canteens
- Lensatic compass

I'll leave my satchel charge pack behind but carry the squad demolitions pack. I'll also take the two flashlights issued to me.

Hopefully, I can still move :D

Stop taking all the good numbers, you guys! ;)

LOL agreed Kadael!

I must have hit Invisible Castle at low ebb...

Hopefully, my hair-pulling and eye-poking skills do better :D

Committed Hero,
Quit stealing my crummy rolls! ;)

Just kidding. I guess any improvement helps and the only bonus is that the penalty for kicking ability was minor so it actually balances out...

Sorry about that, male scream. Not Mullins or Berkowiz, at least that what Sarge guesses.
