The Wolves of the Mediterranean

Welp, I figure now is probably a good time as any to try to join the pool party. How's everything currently? Is anyone still alive? I know you're alive, Dervish, but how about all y'alls? Vivid? Fancy? Anyone?





Maintenance and Retrofitting of several Wolves' Aging Aircraft ...

I suggest licking it. Maybe it's a new type of Chilli sauce.

I second that. Chili sauce is good for the soul ...

Whew, a lone drop into a hot South-East, landing zone? Guess it doesn't get any more real than this! Of course, let's offer a moment of silence for Chris and hope a looonnggg time passes before the next 8S.

*raises a glass*

A toast ...

Speaking of crab battles ... if you can find a way, Limey, you might be able to turn your power fist into a brass-knuckled power fist. Improvised/riveted spikes along Daniel's mech's right fist could be worth the extra effort and not be worse for wear!

Mahz said The obvious answer to this conundrum is to shoot the Goleyeith with Sam's HE Missiles of Enlightenment.

Amen, brother ...

The Last Bastion: Bunker Chicago

Well ... Heyitsjiwon's last post mentioned that his character was carrying an RPG and that he considered using it against the Goleyeith, but hmmm ... you're right about the limited fuel and the fact that the RPG's a Rocket Propelled Grenade as opposed to a clear cut Anti-Tank Buster. Still, it's worth an attempt! The explosion, big or small, might give some breathing room for an evacuation of sorts.

The only other counter-measure I could think of besides your previous suggestions would be for Carolyn to draw its attention while the the others in South-East and Central Complex Sectors could concentrate small arms fire on its joints, eyes, or head. While the Goleyeith's preoccupied, this might give the survivors time to retreat!

After the survivors have reached cover, how about jerry rigging the abandoned tank before luring the Goleyeith into the middle. When it's within proximity, Wolfe (High Explosives Expert) could unleash a rocket and detonate the tank. If the tank's got still got a tank of fuel and left-over munitions, the explosion would damn near cook the Goleyeith alive >8].

Keeping a small writer corps is better than a come and go horde. Nevertheless, the offer is still out there, Danko because I have a character sheet and contributions in mind in case anyone drops. Not to say that any particular person has been lagging; great story so far!

Tempest said Not all mutants are mutated humans. Animals suffered from irradiation too. Of course, we all know there are more than the 5 basic senses now, or we could assume at least.

You will have to wait until the next round to join. Brovo will handle the details. The Central Apartment Sectors are Full-up on the number of players who may join that area and has been since initial launch. Brovo will likely assign you to South-West or South-East with his next round update.

No problemos with that! Not going anywhere at the moment so I'll just be on the side lines, anticipating the next round. I was actually meaning to say South-West Sector and not Central Apartment Complexes, but given the fact I just endured a 3 hour sleep night, I really mixed up the two so apologies for that 8/.

Tempest said Thick Skinned: With thicker skin that is made out of tougher materials, it becomes harder to penetrate. Regular melee weapons, such as bayonets, have a harder time piercing this character’s outer hide, and when it is pierced the damage tends to be minimal. It acts like Kevlar, basically. (Bonuses to defense especially to melee, lessens the overall effect of wounds.) (Mutation Effect: Skin will be imperfection free. No scars, no pimples, no warts, no birth marks, no wrinkles. It will look quite odd, almost doll-like.)

That actually doesn't sound too far off from shape-shifting armor! Of course, I also have this terrifying feeling about a genetic super soldier project gone haywire, but instead of human faulted, lab accidents, we have mother apocalypse 8P.

Brovo said Speaking of insertion, I hope Peter knows how to jump from a plane...

This came to mind ...

You raise a very good point, Tempest in regards to sounds and smell! I cannot specifically quote every source, but I believe studies were done based on human habitats and biospheres. Some human beings and creatures do know their backyards/native territories better than others and just smell alone can often severely disrupt stealth efforts. No disrespect to American soldiers, but some are notorious for alerting Taliban insurgents towards certain areas based on their aromatic trails. Now ... if Taliban insurgents can sniff out American G.I.s in the desert ... could the same be applied to enhanced irradiated mutants and large nightmarish creatures?



That being said, different perks and skill-sets could benefit all creeds and classes!

On a side note, I wanted to clarify though ... now that I've an approved character sheet, am I going to wait on our next posting cycle, a la Premonitions or can Peter immediately insert into either South-East or Central Apartment Sectors?
