Channing, you get that elevator going and De’Ath and I will keep those raiders off of you. Now all we need is the mules to get the load out of there once we have it laid bare.
How about it Burton? Are you dead set on the demolition derby? I know getting rid of those overpasses is important, but so is that ammo. Nobody has a back end quite as big as you. Let’s stuff it full of contraband. It will be just like prison. Don’t pretend you have never spent time in the clink clink.
All hail the Tool Giver.
The Knights Mechanical stand with the Tool Wielders!
I’m on 2C like stink on this here tank top. (1)
Give me a moment, though. Still double-checking the maths.
OOC- (1) And for you hard of hearing, I said “stink on this here tank top” and not “stank in this here drop top.” Clean your ears. This is a PG-13 RPG event sanctioned by Peterson LTD.
Get that rig up to snuff.
I’ve got 2Aa
De’ath has 2Ab
Channing has 2B
If we got you on 2C we should be good.
Each of us does our part with our crew and this should be an easy score that we desperately need. That ammo is going to make all the difference.
The Wizard has goofed. You need the Repair Kit, then @webiii1976 will get you up to 75%. Clankenstein (@davide405) received a handbook on fixing domestic automobiles to 100% during the last mission, he’ll get your Dodge Challenger up to top condition for free, so it’s only the 8LP on the kit you need to spend. I recommend tips though, because that’s just how I was raised. And I think they’re calling it a tithe now, which I remember from church. But that can’t be right, there must be some other definition I’m not aware of.
So you should have 16 LP and be at 44/44 at the end of your repairs. Then you can tip whomever and repay Long Haul Raul and decide what you want to buy.

All praise be to the Tool Giver!

All y’all set your throttles to the barest idle… the Sacred Spanner is parallel parkin’ even as we speak.
~Clank moves among those needing repairs, the only sound is that of ratchets whirring.~
You are WHOLE again, drivers! Y’all go into the wastes and cleanse this here dyin’ world of them as don’t understand.
~Clank raises a timing light in benison~
Parts be with you.
@davide405 @funruly @Donald_Petersen
Rev Clankenstein, a couple of well meaning youths from your congregation have suggested I pick up a parts package and join your flock. I don’t know what kind of church you run but so long as you aren’t one of them teetotalers, I’ll join your congregation. I like to bake cookies and drive without my glasses.

Drink of the blessed oil of the Tool Giver and enlist yourself among the Knights Mechanical.
We cannot be a member of the priesthood as we cannot heal or read but we can pledge ourselves to their protection.
[an oddly accented voice comes through on the TCB…]
I say, is anyone going to try to clear the overpasses?
Good question.
Cougar @Donald_Petersen I know we are just moving one mile an hour, how many miles are we from the first overpass? Are we lacking in mules and escorts to get that job done?
((OCC: I know the GMs are already working overtime with this overly active group, but is there any way to see who has signed up for which mission in order to better manage our allocations before we are locked in and committed to a given mission? If not so be it, that is just part of the game, and I can appreciate the idea that a group of post apocalyptic madmen wouldn’t exactly be the most organized, but if it is possible without too much effort on the part of the GMs that would help us plan a bit more))
[the odd sounding voice reappears]
I mean, just hypothetically speaking, since I’m not in camp or anything so I have no idea what anyone might be discussing, but sending out one mule, say, Rideword, on his own might not be…wise.
Ajém…I said that I’ll be doing 2C, just to repeat.
Babygirl’s ear’s perk up! She starts running around wildly in the cab of BBUM’s tow-truck!
Bill the BUM grins happily…
OOC: 2C for me, and me for 2C. I filled out the forms and all.
I got a repair kit from Stretch, I was totes incognito when I did it.
Major and Dorcas took my donations of LPs. Jack "Knife" took the armor, and, to his credit, returned the donation of 2LP.
@davide405 Clank-meister did the heals gratis. I owe you, and you know I'm good for it. I know you will continue to encourage more mechanics in your church of the Repairer (nee Redeemer).
Back to Stretch:
+12 Eng for -8 LP = 39 Eng and 6 LP remaining
Then
+3 cannibal toes for +?? luck for -6LP
This is Junior Burton on the Pepperoni Eggspress, and I’m talking to anyone who’s listening.
@Garg, I’ve been calling 2C and I believe I got it on lockdown. Full HP of 55 (“Thanks Clank”), upgrade from the EARACHE to FP (with noted downgrade to AR), EN upgrade from stretch (to new max of 39).
And three toes. One of which I put in this here cup, and get some of the moonshine from Jane’s Big Bootay.
This, friends and neighbors, is a [sourtoe cocktail.][1] I learned of this pleasure during my last super long-haul before Chelsea’s whatever, which ran from Reno, Nevada to the Yukon, and then back to…San Diego.
It’ll put hair on yer chest, but won’t make you a man.
@Garg if you want to re-route to 3, that might be more preferable. You are welcome by me to stay on 2C, but I’m not likely to be much for chatty company. for a change.

@JonasEggeater and @penguinchris, since there’s a Mission field in the publicly viewable Rank sheet (linked from badassdragon.com), does that Mission choice auto-populate when people send in their forms? There’s nothing there yet, though plenty of people seem to have sent in the form.
Hey Players! You might consider sending in the form with just preliminary choices, so they show up in that status form once the links work. You can always revise your Mission choice (or anything else you put on the form) anytime before Mission Lock, which is currently 8 1/2 hours away.
As for the overpass, it’s still a ways ahead of us. We could blow off Mission 3 if more people are needed for Missions 2 and 1, but that just means we’ll have to do it next Round.
Nobody should do it alone. It’s gonna sound exactly like this once the Raiders come to engage the Scouts and Escorts. One Mule alone? That’ll sound more like this.
Awesome. I’m going to tip @davide405 & @webiii1976 3LP each for their trouble. I’ve updated my form as well.
Well, here’s hoping I get some company. Just imagine if we got the Ark to the overpass without getting them knocked out ahead of time. Then we’d all be sitting ducks while working on busting 'em down, all the while with a shiny, 100-meter beacon sticking straight up into the sky and drawing the eye of everything in the area.
If I have to go alone, so be it, but I’d rather be there alone without the precious cargo. I doubt we could protect the Ark from damage if one of the local gangs sees us stop moving and decides to test us. Y’all want to go to Mars, right?
Incidentally, I have an armor-piercing RPG that I’m not terribly fond of. Doesn’t seem wise to strap on high explosives with those roaches around chewing on everything. I’ll equip it if I’m alone on mission3 but otherwise I wouldn’t mind trading it for some LP.
A cynic would point out that we exist only in a flashback. We already know the macro result, so we just need to keep ourselves alive and the narrative will take care of the rest.
Assuming we have a reliable narrator, of course.
Junior, with both you and @Palomeque on 2C, I’m quite relieved.
I haven’t said what I’d be doing in mission 2 yet - if nobody had signed up for part C, I was going to have to do it myself.
As you know, I drive a Subaru Young SS, known as the Subaru 360 in the states. Mine has the Young SS badges, though, as it was brought over from Japan - I “acquired” it from an old Japanese man who lived in Costa Mesa. It’s about as far from a Mule as is possible.
That old guy also had a Subaru 360 Van, though - it’s the same chassis but with a van body. It isn’t in working condition but I “acquired” it also because I liked it, and I’ve had it stashed away. I’ve got it strapped to the back of Marion right now.
I found this photo in the glove box, I think this was an earlier owner?
As you can imagine, it might have been difficult to get all the ammo out in that.
