Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
The wolves were out of sight by the time the three men reached the fuselage. Up close, with the stink of AVGAS filling the air, they were able to see how much damage the plane had sustained, and marvel that they had survived the crash at all!
The left wing had sheared off where it met the engine housing. The right was partially buried in the ground when the plane had plunged from the ledge above. The nose of the plane was crumpled, all the windows were broken and both doors missing, left and right. Bits of metal, glass and other wreckage littered the ground all around, particularly where the AVGAS had melted the snow away.

"That's the most effective single bullet I ever fired," says Benjamin, "and I didn't even have to hit anything. I'm glad I was able to remind the wolves that God gave man dominion over the beasts."

OOC: My sincerest apologies for my continued absence. I’m back now, hopefully for good. I’ve set a daily reminder on my phone to check in, plus some other reminders that I should see regularly. |

Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
Close in, the smell of AVGAS from the plane was overpowering, particularly in the fuselage itself. It seemed that the wolves had found the spare ration packs as they had been torn open and spoiled, although determining whether that was by fuel or by wolf urine would take a much closer inspection to find out.
Strewn among the debris were those personal effects that they hadn’t managed to grab when they had bailed out just hours before, as well as some of the other equipment that they had brought with them, such as tents, ropes, etc. As they explored, they heard a wolf’s howl, so they hadn’t gone very far away. Additionally, the weather was starting to draw in, so loitering wouldn’t be a good idea.

So Boyd choose tent, tent again (so we can all stay indoors) and knife survival kite.

Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
You are correct in that Harold would not take spoiled rations.
Harold will take Amanda’s 1911 .45 and the bullet box.
If one of those options isn’t available, he’ll take his Polaroid camera (assuming that it is intact after the crash). Otherwise he’ll take his walking stick.

The three men quickly gathered their scavenged supplies and made ready to return to the others. As they set off, they could see the wolf pack had returned and was watching them from a distance.
Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
"The plane's all yours now, friends," he says. He'll leave the wolves alone as long as they leave him and his companions alone.
Benjamin leads the way back to camp with his M-16 ready in his hands and keeping an eye on the wolves. Doctor Who/CoC Campaign:

Thanks, I' l change my post.

Harold follows close behind Benjamin, pistol in hand, trying to look calm and throwing the occasional nervous glance at the wolves.

Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
The wind had picked up, and snow pricked at their faces like sharp needles wherever it could. At times it felt like they were almost being propelled forward along the icy river bed, almost as if something was guiding their steps forward.
The sky was darkening as they finally saw two tents and a flickering flame from a small fire up ahead, tucked up against the base on one of the pipeline supports. As they drew closer, they could see Amanda and Randy stood by one of the tents, the latter holding a burning branch like a ward.

Re: Ch.1a Plane Sailing (Ben, Boyd, Harold)
OOC: Good idea! I'l spend the 2 points.
Boyd was starting to feel the cold and loosing heart... but somehow when he saw the tents, he recovered his spirit and continued without much problems.

"There was a pack of wolves at the plane, but a single shot scared them off," he says, holding out the M-16 he retrieved to Amanda. "Here you go, ma'am. And I brought back a first aid kit for you, Randy. I also found a canteen." When he has a spare moment, he tops off his magazine with a couple of bullets, one to replace the round he fired and another to replace the one that was automatically moved to the chamber after that.
Benjamin also barely shakes off the cold before it gets to him. Doctor Who/CoC Campaign:
