The Debrief

October 1986. Contact with Exxon Pumping Station #31 in British Columbia has been lost and a rescue team has been assembled.

The environmental activist group, North Wind, had threatened to bring operations to a halt. Could they be behind this sudden communication failure, or is something else going on?

Happy with the 3kg being first aid kit.

Having said that, Randy is convinced of the life saving merits of his Swiss Army Knife. The rest of the team should be very relieved.
Don't forget a biro, or other hollow tube for those tracheotomy or punctured lungs.

There’ll be one of those in the first aid kit 🙂

A couple of other bits of kit that you might want to consider:

Ice Axe
Map & compass (too early for GPS - I checked)
Survival knife

Edit: just realised compass was included in the standard kit everyone has.

So, nobody is taking a flame-thrower? Just remembering "The thing"...

At 30kg, I’m going to say “no”… (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_flamethrower) unless you’re the Cat, in which case you can chop off a leg to make up for the extra weight.

Randy's Rules of First Aid #27:

Next time, remember to take the cartridge, spring and stuff out of the biro before inserting it into a punctured lung or tracheotomy throat hole.

Oops. For some idiot reason, I thought it was 1982.

Will have to revise my soundtrack and album lists.

I am adding a small camera, a sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, a metal ruler, and a triangle to my character’s equipment. This is based on the skills in photography and technical drawing that he has.

Needless to say, and with apologies to Lost King who gave a decent explanation earlier in the Debrief, I know nothing about climbing in the RW. I hate heights. Randy apparently loves them, and good for him.

My wife can’t stand heights, so I arranged for her to do this 🙂

We had discussed it in advance. Well, she said she liked the look of it but didn’t know she could handle it because of the heights, so I bought it for her as a Xmas present.

She doesn’t like heights but she’s flown a glider, a Tiger Moth and even a Spitfire so she doesn’t let things put her off 🙂

Life’s too short not to do these things (which probably explains why my credit card bill was more than I earned this month…😬)

Just to clarify, having failed the CON roll, is the penalty dice for the next CON save or for any next roll for any skill?
