Section 3:
Aisles 15 and 16 contain building supplies, drywall, Sheetrock, and tools. Just across from these aisles, next to the cash registers, are the small tools, screwdriver sets, hammers, and the like.

Agreed.
I shall step forward and ask the great Lord With Two Minds to please allow our hero to check Section 3, or whichever is the hardware/tools section.

Matches and batteries should be rather easy to find near the front of the store somewhere, near the cash registers, since those are commonly-bought items. But we will see.

Edit: Checked Home Depot.com, here's whats in that section:

Air Compressors, Tools & Accessories
Air Nailers & Nails
Auto
Books & DVDs
Cabinet Hardware
Door Locks
Hand Tools
Hardware & Fasteners
Mailboxes & Signs
Power Tool Accessories
Power Tools
Safety & Security
Tool Storage
Wet / Dry Vacuums


I see several categories of use there.

You decide to check section 3 first, deeming the tools there the most useful things you could pick up right now, on your way in you make sure to grab a tool belt which should allow you to hold tools much easier than before, it has 5 extra spaces for tools, and two pouches for holding nails and staples.


In front of you, you see a decimated section, probably ripped apart by people trying to grab whatever they could to survive, the useless items are on prominent display, but there are likely a few gems hidden in there...

As you dig around in the mess of the aisle, you find a nailgun! It appears to be in working order, but you don't have a hose or an air compressor... as you lament over the usefulness of the item you notice it says on the side "Direct drive, power actuated model", you don't know what this means, but you assume you might be able to work around the lack of an air compressor... You insert it into one of the slots on your belt, and pick up enough nails to fill one pouch on your belt. You gain: Nailgun + Nails (x20)


Now you decide to walk over to the small tools, and stock up on smaller, yet still useful tools. You pick up a flathead screwdriver, and a hammer and sling them in your belt, never know when you could use one. You also pick up a pair of pliets, needlenose, something that would be also very common and easy to use. As you are leaving the section, you pick up a small maglite flashlight, it's heavy, durable, metal, and fits nicely in your pocket. Good as a weapon and seeing device, and it doesn't take up any inventory on your belt. You look around this section and depart, back to the two aisles.

There are several other items strewn about in the aisle, but you doubt you'll need door locks, cabnets or mailboxes, unless those little red mailbox levers actually can be used as a weapon.

You briefly ponder this, but dismiss it.


Your search of section 3 is complete.

Due to the high number of items, you are now moderately encumbered, it is harder for you to move around, and your actions each phase will take noticeably longer.


Where do you go, what do you do?
