a point was risen about going off road. the SUV can, of course. it isn't a 4x4 and it is large. it would be very slow going through the local terrain because the trees are dense but the terrain isn't difficult for the truck to drive in. at that pace the mule has the advantage though.

this game has been running for a while now. however, RPOL is a slow moving platform so less than two weeks has actually passed in game despite the months of RPOL time dilation. for those curious, you guys are just under four months into apocalypse. it is around the first week of august 2019.

the horde that is moving south along the highway numbers into the tens of thousands. it has been encountered by by Troy in game, Sam joined in time to flee from it with the others. In their back stories, Gene and Ralf would have knowledge of this horde and probably had to dodge it as well on their way south.

map up for the guys at the stream, shows how close you are to highway, migrating undead on the highway, the undead in the water, and each other. i believe it is the second map on the list.

please make note of what you are carrying and what is on the mule. the mule can haul a lot, just want to know what you are working with on your characters.  it diesn't have to be the most detailed list going, just a general sense. thanks.

Same stuff that was on the ATVs.

Not sure what that means. Has the mule been packed to the point where Gene is walking? If Gene stays on foot he will have his Marlin in hand.

The load out will be helpful just to have an idea how much more Shrek is carrying. Is there an old post with a list of what was in the yukon?

In reply to Gene Leroux (msg # 538):

as i recall Troy has a suit of Russian Army heavy body armor that he often wears when the need arises. it was found in a police station's impound lockers.

several rifles, an smg, and several pistols.

then there is a backpack of extra gear, food, water, and a radio and a medical bag that Zoe was lugging around before she got kidnapped.

all in all, probably around 150 pounds of weight, just the stuff that they wouldn't normally carry without a vehicle.

Woah woah woah! So she WAS kidnapped? And here I was thinking she’d driven off for a bit to escape.

shhh...that is private knowledge. don't spoil it for the others.

still moving forward with Ralf in tow, if he doesn't post in soon i will contact him. but until then we will drive on. i know he is busy RL.

Sorry Troy,

You probably would have seen the rope while packing the mule.

I assumed you had rope and left that for you. Saving Sam is a good intro thing for a new guy.

that is funny

Just a reminder, because I don't remember how long ago it was that the GM reminded everyone of this,

The Zombie Apocalypse in this game only happened somewhere between 3 and 4 months ago.

At the start of the game it had been about 3 months since it started and less than 2 weeks have passed in game time since then.

thanks, we all lose sight things like that at times, RPOL can move slowly.

time to give out xp. go interpaly between the guys in GA. great roleplay Roberta. so, everyone gets 3 xp at this time.

Thanks!

I will advance the scenes tomorrow, i gifted the rona' this weekend and i haven't been feeling like doing much of anything. i will try to get in touch with ralf too. thanks for your patience.

No stress mate. Get well.

Sorry for my continue absence - work and RL are kicking my arse! I'm trying to catch up but if someone can short cut that with a summary that would be great. Thanks for any help with this.

so, you guys are at a small overpass cross roads on the side of highway 75. since the night in the semi-truck after you met Troy and Sam this has happened.

1. you guys met Gene, from Boston. he has a donkey named shreck (go figure) and a dog named casper.
2. you guys had to go on foot to evade the leading edge of a horde tens of thousands of undead that led to a thrilling explosion. and drew a lot attention.
3. you guys walked away evading the undead to the nearest highway overpass (exit from 75) to a small area with a few buildings and vehicles.
4. sam went investigating found a former post office building that was full of vending machines and then went reached into the doorway of a stop-n-shop feeling for a light switch to see if it had power and found a breast attached to a young woman.
5. troy uncovered an old chevelle along with a pile of personal belongings on a trailer.
6. gene, shreck, and casper are pulling guard.

Roberta check the game map and look at the pic of the tractor and see what you think.

In reply to GM (msg # 553):

Thanks for this. Would it make sense that Ralf is keeping guard with Gene?

he is welcome to do what you like. it's all good pal.

That is a big tractor.  I've posted a follow up with that in mind.

In reply to GM (msg # 553):

Shrek is a mule. His sire was a mammoth Jack Donkey. His mother was a Tennessee walking horse.

In reply to Gene Leroux (msg # 558):

now you're just bragging.
