The endurance, long believed to be a myth or legend, a ship that legends say 'collects' people. One day you'll just wake up there, and few have escaped to tell the tale...

Well, it's not a myth anymore to you...

There's not much in here besides a half empty box of energy bars and some scrap. It might be a good place to stash things I find if I have too much to cary though.

(your stash is static, it will only change if you change it. Right now the only inventory space you have is what you're holding, if you want more you need to find a backpack or belt first.)

Oh... and the deadguy had a pistol.

Don't shoot the pistol, it could attract attention and you don't want to waste ammo. Just examine it, maybe check that all the required bits still move around if you're familiar enough with the model. Also check how many shots are left in it.

Then leave.
>>
No. 836938 ID: ba506f

any way you can tell the pistol is still loaded? I mean I still say take it with you cause even if you just look like you're packing heat other might think twice before trying to mess with you. I just want to know if we can actually use the gun or if it's only going to be good for bluffing until we can find some ammo for it.

Does it fit in your hand? Do your claws fit inside the trigger guard? (It was, apparently, designed for a different species). Can you tell if it's loaded, what kind of thing it even shoots, or if there's any kind of safety?

Well, It's made for that suit's metal sausage fingers, so it's a bit big in my hand, but not unusable. It looks like there's a button on the side that turns the glowing part on and off. I have no idea what kind of pistol it is or how to check if it's loaded without firing it though.

Have your gun pointed at either the ceiling or the floor, whichever is easier; thus showing that you are armed and dangerous, but not hostile. Call out to them and wave.

The avian is still shaking, I don't think she trusts me.

"Shh... shh... It's okay Dacon..." The Kurii "Sorry, he's been jumpy ever since Kane got a bolt round to the face a few weeks ago. I'm Jewl. What did you want to know?"

"What is this place? how did I get here?"

"Oh... You're new..." Something in the way he says that, sounds like pity... "Have you ever heard the stories about the colony ship that went missing? The endurance?"

"...The one with a mind of it's own that abducts people?" I don't like where this conversation is going...

"Who else is on board? and who do I need to look out for?" I ask, trying to look calmer than i feel.

"There's a little of everything on board, a few have decided to stick with Kane and I for a while like Dacon did, but... Well, you get used to it. As to who to avoid, anyone who has something they think you want, or wants something they think you have, likely wont be too friendly. But that doesn't mean everyone's a lost cause, just be careful." Jewl explains, looking up now that Dacon is calmer. Brushing her paws along the back of his head seems to be helping with his mood. "barely enough to go around, and new supplies seem to pop up wherever they're most likely to be fought over. Kane was convinced the ship does that on purpose."

agree to be friends with the kid, then ask if their's any way you can stay in contact with them or if there's somewhere you could go to find them?

Then let them know you're going to explore a little bit to get a fell for the place and before you go ask what/who you should avoid while you're out explore/scavenging?

Agree to be the kid's friend, if it'll help him calm down. And since you're in this place, you'll be needing friends of your own to help you out. Which means that you'll also be Jewl's friend.

Quietly ask Jewl if the kid's parents are somewhere around here. And I say "ask quietly" because the kid might get upset and start crying if it turns out his parents aren't here and the Endurance took him from them and being reminded of that would make him sad.

>friends
"Sure, we can be friends, as long as your big friend is ok with being my friend too." I said trying to sound cheerful.

Immediately he turns to Jewel and is giving her the most wide eyed, pleading look I've ever seen. for a moment Jewel looks likeshe has a scowl forming, but it's clear it's not real.

"oh all right. fine." she stated with false indignation, a genuine smile on her face. "Friends."

"YAY!"

>About location
"what do you know about this part of the ship?" I ask, turning my focus back to Jewel again. "do you have a map? what's the layout like?"

"No map, sorry." she shakes her head as she answers, "We're at the front of the ship, in what looks like it used to be quarters for colonists, I think our campsite used to be a cafeteria." Jewel explains, "This deck, as well as the ones above and below it are laid out like a giant apartment building. Assuming your idea of an apartment building includes baracades, traps, and years of damage anyway. I've never been to the other parts of the ship."

>heading out
"I'm going to head out, see if I can find anything useful." I explain, getting up and gesturing to the side entrance. "Any way i can keep in contact with you two?"

Jewel is about to answer when she gets cut off.

"I want to come with you!" Dacon insists, surprising both jewel and I.

"Of course! you're makin sure nothin happens to me, I'm making sure nothin happens to you, but who's doing that for Shasari? We gotta!"

"The kid has a point..." I begrudgingly agree. I have no idea what this place is like...

>parents
"uh, are Dacon's parents nearby?" I ask Jewel in a low tone as Dacon digs through the box a few paces behind us.

"I have no idea, he refuses to talk about that."

by the time we reach the door he's caught up.

I have a feeling that you'd probably prefer this place with the lights out. but yeah, keep your gun up for now and peak around the nearest corner to make sure it's clear. Be ready to jump back and a moment's notice and make sure you keep an eye out for traps.

Well, I know where some tools are... now I need a way to disable a turret... preferably without getting shot.

what's the plan?
>>
No. 844890 ID: 0c84a3

difficulty is the size of dice i'm going to roll, which is against your skill.
1d5 -> 1.
3 > 1
you succeeded.
>>
No. 844891 ID: 3ce125

>>844888
I think it works like this: difficulty determines what size die is rolled for the opposing roll. In this case, difficulty is 5 so it rolled a 1d5.

If it rolls under our skill (3), the dodge is successful. 1<3 so we dodged.
What would have happened if it rolled a 3?
>>
No. 844892 ID: 33cbe7

Finger was still on the door button I guess.
Pry a long stick from those boards and just try to tip the turret over blindly.
>>
No. 844896 ID: 3ce125

>>844889
The plan is don't go in there again. Only real option is to try to shoot it before it shoots you, and that's not something I want to leave to chance. Though I guess if you had something you could toss around the side of the door without exposing yourself that would work. It'd just have to be heavy enough to knock the turret over.

Check the unlit door next.

3 or lower, no damage, above 3, you take the difference in damage, and since you only have 2 hp since your defense skill is low, a 5 would have rest you back to the last safe room you left.

You can, and it still has consequences, but it's not the end. Think of it like having a checkpoint system and continues. it's there to avoid the element of random chance involved in challenges/traps feeling unfair (since RNG means that there may be times when you do everything right and still die). that said, if I notice people are abusing it I may cut it off.

This room is thankfully, devoid of deadly traps.
it also doesn't have much in it, there's a bed, some books, an empty bottle, a powerpack (that might be useful if i need to reload this thing...) and a wall locker. the other side of the room seems to be a washroom.

take power pack, search locker, examine books, and peek in the washroom. It might have something useful in their.

Hell if it wasn't for the deadly turret across the hall I would say you at least found a place to rest.

Take the power pack, open the wall locker, look under the pillow, check if anything useful is hidden in the books and/or pillow case.

Then look in the washroom for anything useful.

((sorry this one was slower than normal, lost one of my days off due to a mix up at work))

>through search
The pillow case can come off the pillow,but there's nothing else in or under them.
The wall locker has a flashlight in it, but it feels lighter than it should and won't turn on.

And the only thing in the books is a bunch of tech jargon and old schematics.Might make for some dull reading the next time I'm having trouble sleeping. Heh.

>take powerpack
Now that I have the power pack, my inventory is full. if I want to carry more I need to put something down, find something to wear that has pockets, or find something to put my things in.

"I don't suppose you have extra room in that backpack?"

"Sorry, no. I have my heater, Knife, food, and water in here."

tap...

"Do you hear that?"

Either way you should probably find somewhere to hide. Oh and the flash light needs batteries, that's why it's light and not working.

Are they coming from the direction you came from? You should probably get Jewel and Dacon into the empty room so they are out of the way of any potential lines of fire. Maybe the person coming is the one who set up the turret in the first place.
