All these ideas are good enough... and there's always the chance of a miracle happening, right...?

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Richard goes off to the last building to the right.
Jake gives the Professor some barricading supplies and practices with his knife.
Jake is becoming more accustomed to his weapon, and is 10% of the way to being Proficient with it!
Vincent takes the shitstorm-macespear and tries to fix it, but his Mending skill (or lack of) means he can't fix it.
Karkat drags himself over to a pile of junk and scavenges from it, and using his superb Scouting Skill he finds a medical brace!
Karkat can now walk, just can't run. He needs to be careful, but his broken shin will mend itself in a few days.
The Professor and Kashuan barricade the farmhouse some more.
The Stronghold gains +40 Defense! -20 Barricading Supplies and -1 Box of Nails
The Professor and Kashuan gain +1 Experience!
Richard goes exploring and gets to the far building. There, he notices blood stained on the ground, and it looks fresh. What should he do?
The Stronghold has 85 Defense!
Additions: None

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Karkat goes and builds up some more of the barricade, making sure to take it easy and not put too much pressure on his bad leg while working. He also keeps an eye out for any roaming fiends while he's at it.

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Good... The Barricade's looking up and we're going to be getting stronger. I wonder if we'll be able to grow food here?
>Take the sawblade, and if there are any unimportant wooden posts or something, aim for it and practice.
Hey, do you think you have a good strategy of getting rid of those cloth-guys? Does fire sound good?

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Jake and Kashuan both practice with their weapons. They both gain +10% Proficiency from the session of training.
The Professor and Vincent both dig pits around the Stronghold.
They lay no spikes in the pits or cover them, so the pits don't function as traps unless the enemy is very stupid or blind. However, it still makes it more difficult for enemies to approach directly, and will manage the defense of the Stronghold better.
Karkat builds adds to the barricades, but did not specify using nails so it's less good.
+15 Defense! -10 Barricading Supplies Karkat gains +1 Experience!
While he's adding to the barricades, Karkat notices something off in the distance, he sees a group of 3 figures walking, one of them pushing a cart. As they approach, he sees that one is carrying a powerful rifle, another a weird stick thing, and the third was pushing the cart, with a big machete at his waist.
But most importantly, they are humans!
Should Karkat call them over or keep quiet?
Richard curses to himself that he has been left all alone and doing some real work. He follows the blood trail sneakily, but he realizes that it simply dead ends. Something bled all over yesterday, but it was gone now.
The building is uninhabited, and Richard manages to find some sweet loot.
He finds:
2 Rations
5 Barricading Supplies
3 Shotgun Shells
8 Pistol Bullets
1 Pile of Junk
The Stronghold has 100 Defense!
Additions: Pits
Survivors
Supplies

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Jake continues with his Pocket Knife, stabbing and slashing at the air.
"I dunno, those guys were pretty tough. They actually seemed terrified when they saw the fire, so I guess setting them on a fire would be a good idea. Tearing their clothes apart would probably work too."In my spare time I like to revive extinct animals, but then I kill them for exotic cuisine!

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
"I've been thinking about that, I may have come up with a couple of ideas on penetrating armoured foes like them. One would be trying to imbue weapons with my psychic powers to alter them, like making your knife psychically sharper as if the blade was pure psychic energy, or blazing hot, or even prehaps I could try manifesting an actual weapon like a psychic sword or something, nothing complex mind you. Other than that I could try phasing through their armour altogether and try ripping out their vital organs... And there's some other things I wouldn't mind trying as well..."
Vincent begins twirling his baton in an attempt to train with it.

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Well, there you have it. Fire would be a valuable asset for us, whether it's for survival or combat. We should find someway to use fire without too much danger of getting burned.
>I'll take the time to exercise between throws. In other words, running back and forth between saw tosses. Gotta keep fit.
Do you think Richard will be okay on his own? He always seemed like the sneaky type...

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Richard loads up his handgun, pockets the shotgun shells, grabs the rations, and heads to the next building over, sneakily as always.

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
I'll try to signal to my teammates on the off chance that one of them is actually paying attention and not off doing something idiotic that's clearly more important then getting food and supplies. If they see me, I'll ask their opinion on the survivor situation. If not, I'll call the humans over. (I also alert my friends to the other survivors and make sure to keep my chainsaw close by, just in case.)

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
"Hey Karkat!
More survivors is always a good thing, in my own biased opinion.
But first, we need to figure out if they are insane or dangerous or something.
Or not.
Try to call the humans over and see what happens."
Professor readies his taser and prepares himself just in case Karkat gets assaulted by insane survivors and signals to him.SINNER'SSANDWICH

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
Jake and Kashuan just continue to practice with their weapons. +10% Proficiency!
Vincent and The Professor go with Karkat to talk to the other survivors.
Richard goes off by himself some more, and stealthily moves over to the next building. There, he sees it mostly barren but finds a skinny looking Fiend standing in a room. It seemed to be reading a book while standing, and of course hadn't noticed Richard yet.
The other survivors met with the men with the cart. They are delighted to see each other.
"Hello." The leader of them says. He explains he is a traveling merchant that likes to go between the Strongholds to buy and sell. He is willing to trade some stuff to you guys, if you got stuff to trade back. He also mentions that if you have any of that paper money, just keep it. That stuff is useless in the apocalypse.
The other two guards just watch you, their weapons always within arms reach. People can be just as dangerous as fiends.
"So, what are you guys looking for?" He says, leaning on his cart full of random stuff. "You tell me what you want, and we negotiate, yes?"

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
"Hmm... gimmie a second here buddy." The man leans forward into the cart and digs through a section that seemed dedicated to food and farming equipment. He finally pulled out a fishing tackle box and opened it to reveal a large collection of seeds. Originally Posted by Pharmacy

So instead, I'd think about 5 Fuel would be a fair trade. I've been low on gas lately anyway. So, what do you say? Or do you have something else in mind?"

Re: StrongHold 2: FIENDISH BOOGALOO
"What do have in terms of fixing broken legs? What about any better building equipment? Oh, and would you be able to fix one of our spears for us if we paid you for it?" Karkat asks in a reasonable and not all caps type voice.
