[Derek‽]

If we're going over the wall, I think we may have to look at using the bus. A typical prison bus is really just a reinforced school bus, which averages between 40' and 50' in length. The wall is, if I remember correctly, 40' high. I wasn't going to mention it before, because I thought it sounded too out-of-the-box and stupid, but now it's crunch time.

Yes, if the opportunity arises, and if at all possible, I propose we find a way to stand the bus up against the wall and climb through it, using seat backs as foot holds. I don't know how we'd ever accomplish it, as I've seen nothing to suggest it's even a remote possibility; and I know it's eye-rollingly bad, with no known way of getting down the other side safely; but it's the only item currently at our disposal that could even match the wall's height. It'd also require dumping the unlimited ammo cache, but that just seems unnecessary at this point.

ren: Scouting has to precede movements. It's aadmittedly a big time consumer, and we can't afford any time to waste, but I'd say it's rather necessary. We couldn't get to 27 (if we wanted), because a path has to be scouted. Any other blind movements are going to be risky.

[Ren Rudner]

I feel like I've moved without scouting before.

Ryan Roos: Care to clarify?

[Derek‽]

We've scouted and moved before, using up both actions in a single turn. Or, someone else scouted in a turn, freeing others up to move there in that same turn.

[Ren Rudner]

I'm just gonna follow Pat for now or else I'm just gonna forget to post.

Day 33 Recap

The trio searched the church top to bottom looking for anything that could help them. While searching in the back Ren found a very heavy locked door with a cross on it. She looked at it's design for a moment before noticing a medkit on the wall nearby. The guys didn't find anything of much use.

The locked door seems to have some importance or else I don't think Ryan would have mentioned it. Should we try to break in?

[Ryan Roos]

It's really heavy, solid oak. The lock looks strong and secure, old iron hinges and all.

[Ren Rudner]

We can still try and use the weapons we have from the gunshop? I don't know. Try and break in or move on towards the wall like we had originally planned?

derek: I'm wouldn't rely on Pat to post today. He's away on a business trip so it might be just up to us to decide.

[Derek‽]

Well, we have two machetes, two types of shotguns, and unlimited ammo. I say we try our hand at getting either the lock or hinges off. You don't put a door like that on a toolshed--the room behind it might be a viable bunker. I'm not confident of that, but it should at least contain something interesting. Short of an underground crypt in the cemetery, I'd say it's our best hope of finding shelter at this point.

As for the hat (because it's oh so cool, and I get to describe it), it's a black felt trilby with a white band around the crown. The band is soft; I'd like to think it's silk, but I'm not confident of that. I'm not good at discerning such things. Upon closer inspection I can see a bit of dried blood spatter on the back of the hat. I never would have noticed it on the black felt, but a bit made its way onto the white band. Oh well. I've been wearing the same clothes for over a month--a little blood on a hat won't matter. Here's to hoping the last guy didn't have lice!

[VS Admin]

I do whatever the group wants me to do

[Derek‽]

Well alright then. I shoot the lock with the shotgun, and (hopefully--pending crit check) search the room behind the door.

I'm a healer
Actions: If the hinges are like the old kind that have pins to hold them together, then I pull the pins out. If not or of that fails, the my second action is using ammo and guns to break the hinges off the door.
I defend east
I have a baseball bat, 2 medkits, and ammo n' guns n' stuff

Waaaait. Patrick fo rone of your actions you should try using your screwdriver to take the hinges off the door. All hinges come off with a screw driver!
