Quick comment. You only get the die itself in bounty from looting casualties (so 10, which is still the jackpot!), and you can -only- loot bounty from casualties. Check the difference in "looting the dead" and "looting the undead" sections.

I went ahead and edited a post into my reply to Twibbit since it was the top of the page. No actions just fluff.

Anything else you all want to check out here? I think we've picked it fairly clean.

If you guys don't really want to do this just say the word. I'm fine with taking the sanity hit.

I concealed my shotgun, because it's basically the only thing I have to get out of trouble. Although, I'm probably just going to run for the truck if that happens.

I think you're doing fine. I have some pretty strong suspicions, but I'm still hesitant to just blast this guy in half on the outside chance it's just a colostomy bag or something.

I can't access my copy of the rules right now. How do you roll iniative? I think it's black plus speed v. red, but I can't remember exactly.

Black+speed, red is rolled but is used by me for humans. I get to pick and choose from all your reds

Just fake us out every now and again, so that if we jump to conclusions terrible things will happen and it will be all our fault. :v:

Also, even if we can see the writing on the wall, that doesn't meant we'll metagame. Boy Scout walked right into this one, after all. Speaking of, did following his spot into trouble give him a will at all?

Also; do you we roll with hit location as per the original roll, or do we roll hit location separately?

Nope, this is fair. This is what I expected when we got a 26 bounty windfall. Terrible terrible things.

This is also why I spent will, because will is what you spend to not have terrible things happen to you or your friends.

If the opportunity arises I am going to try and tag this vector, my sanity be damned. Please don't feel at all like you have to stick to around to let me. I will not be the slightest bit disappointed if you guys take the first chance we see to get us the hell out of here.

I think it was Lala who had the crossbow and bolts. Besides, why tag a crippled vector when our employer wants to study large-scale stampedes?

Oh, and likewise on the vacation, Twibbit. Enjoy yourself!

I'm leaning more towards getting to the job site ASAP. Preferably by ramming through the crowd of casualties right in front of us if it would get me a Will :v:

Those are both very valid points. I was thinking we might be able to get some extra bounty for it, but yeah it's just kind of waste since I'm probably going to use my share of whatever pittance we get for it on getting my sanity back. Screw it, I'll try clear out some of the Casualties in our way, or hose down the vector if it presents a problem.

Welp. You can't reason with the marble-less. Let's take 'em down and take their poo poo.

Twibbit, Scrapie's tactic was to stand and try to talk 'em down so that's what he did. Unless you're giving it to me as a freebie, in which case I'm happy to start shooting.

Ough. That's actually a critical failure on the Self-Control, Girth. Natural odds on the die are crit fails, evens are crit successes.

That's two critical failures on the Self-Control rolls, Twibbit. Sure you don't want to hand out anything more than 1 stress? If the die are anything to go by, this is clearly a very bad no good situation for our characters!
