My group is probably going to accompany Greyblades to the shed as well to pick up some weapons for our expedition. I have a feeling the Master Bedroom is going to be quite dangerous.

Gah. Fine.
That leaves the library group understaffed however.....We will make do. Group leaders please work out you plan with your groups. Garrison groups decide who is on watch and who is sleeping.
If the Garden group does not find anything useful it is on your head Chaotix.Personally I think the chances of finding more than one or two power tools are unlikely.
You guys are betting a lot on this. Shovels would be good too, but I think getting Tratorix patched up is as important. Good luck Though.
Bring back everyone alive.
Library group we are going to have to go with extreme caution. There is not enough time to get people into new groups, so we will have to make do. I already have a plan.

Very true, BUT...
Sleeping will only be effective if it's the vast majority of the time spent (5 or more hours) so if someone sends in an order saying they will explore a,b,c,d,e, and f and then sleep in the bedroom, I'm going to pretty much ignore the sleep order because most of their time was spent exploring. Get me?![]()

Well, I have no idea how we are all going to get rested other than everyone running back to the foyer and sleeping, with those who have rested guarding us all.
Back in 16+ hours, 'scuse me.
@My group: I think our expedition is doomed to fail, too many locations equate too many opportunities to fail![]()
You cannot add days to life but you can add life to days.
Dont worry so much, seeing as I'll be bringing any inactives along with me you should at least survive till we get to the shed.
Oh and I have first dibs on any blow torches or any cutting implements that could get through Iron.

The Mansion: Phase 2
The jobs are set, and Donna (Askthepizzaguy) and David (scottishranger) were asked to stay behind and garrison the Foyer, as well as watch over Dean (Tratorix) who had been injured recently.
The two watched as the other seventeen left the area, and not wasting any time the attractive mid-20’s dirty-blonde bombshell made her move. David, an early 30’s certified nurse, was caught off guard but did not fight Donna’s sexual desires for lip lock…
Dean slept peacefully throughout.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Brian (Elite Ferret) led Daniel (Johnhughthom) and Clarence (Beefy187) through the already familiar Hall B and into the Conservatory…
They found a medium sized room with glass walls and ceiling, and a large bush obstructing their view of the outside. It was daytime, for they could see the sky. But the bushes and vines grew up and blocked much of the sunlight.
They scouted the room for Hostiles, and when they found none they searched the room for anything useful.
Brian went around the edge searching the multiple shelving system for plants, which of course had many pots of dirt with dead plants in it, while Daniel and Clarence searched the center shelving. Clarence looked in the far corner and found three small hand shovels, a water hose with good water which drained through a small hole in the center of the room, and two bottles of spray pesticides.
“Yo Bry, you think these are useful?” Holding them up for Brian to see across the room.
“Why not? Bring them with us!”
“What about some pesticides? We have anyone that knows chemicals?”
Brian acknowledged him with excitement, “I’m a chemical engineer, I’ll think of something!”
The three returned to the Foyer with their loot.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lorraine (Captain Blackadder) was chosen to garrison Bedroom B, which had been recovered and secured by the others, and so she did. Expecting another, by the name of Nicole Reed, she entered the “secure” room and locked the door behind her.
Fear showed its ugly face, where was Nicole? She sat on the bed, in the very center, curled up in the ball, not blinking.
She heard a noise from inside of the closet, which was closed. She dared not move, she was told this room was secure!
From out of the closet, a pale Hostile with sharp features, no hair, and black eyes entered the room. He stood at the end of the bed and just simply stared at Lorraine, who did not wish to move. She heard the story from Daniel that it reacts badly towards aggression. She figured she would try to talk to him, “Um… sir? I… uh, I’m sorry I’m in your room. Will yo… will you let me leave? I… uh… don’t want any trouble…”
The Hostile just stared, unemotionally. His flakey paper white skin nearly seemed to glow in the dim light. Lorraine felt a sneeze, held it in, and knew that the sudden sound and/or movement would cause alarm. Her heart began to race faster, as she held in the sneeze. The Hostile shifted, seemingly affected by her sudden change of pulse. Her fear overwhelmed her and her eyes filled with tears. The Hostile’s face sharpened up, showing long thin sharp teeth and black gums. His skin began to “melt” and turn clear, showing his insides and blood glowing orange inside of his major veins. He jumped at Lorraine, who through her panic, had dodged towards the locked door. The Hostile landed on the bed. Lorraine reached for the key which was on the dresser right next to the door. The Hostile leaped at her, and as she opened the door the Hostile, which was still in its growing phase, unhinged its jaw and took a large overly exaggerated bite out of Lorraine’s lower back (-8 hp). She screamed in agony and passed out as another woman ran to her aid…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Upon leaving the foyer Steven (Greyblades) led his team of two consisting of Jose (atheotes) and Laura (CountArach) through Hall B. Accompanying them for the time being was the team leader Lester (Chaotix), and team members Gregory (Death is yonder), Ronald (spL1tp3r50naL1ty), and Jeffrey (A Very Super Market).
They all traveled into the Dining Room and there they observed at least thirty individual dining sets on the table. They all grab the useful items for themselves. This in total included seven sets of two ceramic plates, two forks, one spoon, and two butter knives.
They continued on into the Ball Room, which was virtually desolate except for a few random pieces of furniture against the large room’s walls and an old dusty piano in a back corner.
Steven says, “We don’t have much time to explore this room, we have bigger things to accomplish.”
Everyone agreed, and they made it to the back door, which was unlocked.
They exited the Mansion and there found a large back yard consisting of a large garden in front of them, a shed off slightly to their left, and even further to their left they saw an empty pool and pool house. “The mission…” Gregory said, “Is the shed. Let’s get in and get out. We don’t want bloodshed.”
The team agreed and quickly made their way across the yard, opened the door, saw that there were no Hostiles, and entered it. It was small, so Steven and Lester, leaders of the two groups, entered in to see what they could find.
After a few minutes they piled up a stack of useful items, a shovel, hoe, machete, paid of extra lawn mower blades, two screwdrivers, a hammer, a box of nails, staple gun, and old power drill.
Lester says, “We have seven people, take your pick.”
Gregory had already called dibs on a light weapon, and so he took the lawn mower blades.
Jose the machete, Laura the screwdrivers, Ronald the shovel, Jeffrey the hammer, Steven the hoe, and Lester the staple gun and power drill.
At this Lester’s group left, as they were given their tools first so they could continue on to the Master Bedroom.
Steven, Jose, and Laura stayed behind for a moment, waiting. Steven pulled out an old bowie knife, “He didn’t see me take this, I figured this would be better off in our hands. We have less people after all!”
Laura smiled excitedly as Jose’s glance shot over to the base of the shed. “What’s that!?”
A Hostile crawled out from underneath the shed and stayed there for a moment in a crouched position. Steven held up the bowie knife in an offensive manner while yelling, “Get out of here!”
The Hostile stood up quickly, angered. Its skin melted away and it grew taller. The three got their weapons ready, and it attacked Laura who happened to be closest. It landed on top of her and began tearing at her neck with its teeth as she stabbed furiously at its ribs and fell to the ground. Steven reacted by stabbing at it with his knife and Jose sliced at it with his machete.
The Hostile ravaged Laura while getting attacked by all three sides, and finally with an increased effort Jose swung hard at its neck, decapitating it.
The body of the Hostile fell to Laura’s side, and the head rolled to the other.
The two grieved over her death before realizing the shadow of a key in the Hostile’s forehead. Through grief and tears Jose and Steven dug out the key and obtained Laura’s screwdrivers and her one unit of food. “She doesn’t need these anymore; she’s free from this nightmare…”
The two returned to the Foyer in dead silence and despair…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The other party, led by Lester, passed Casey (Double A) at the bottom of the stairs. They traveled up the stairs, through Hall C, and into the Master Bedroom with caution. Once they got there they spread out and looked for any Hostiles, traps, and useful items. When they found there were no threats they also searched the Master Bathroom.
They found both rooms to be in terrible condition, dusty and ratty, spider webs and rat pellet everywhere. The bathroom had no running water, and the bedroom’s windows were bricked up just like the other bedroom was.
They put all of the items they found that were of some interest in a pile on the bed, first aid kit from the bathroom, a diary of the man who had previously lived in the Mansion (which at first glance offered no important information), a few coat hangers from the closet, a small locked box they found underneath the bed, and a key that does not match the doors or the lockbox.
Lester spoke up, “So, we gonna lug all this back?”
Jeffrey said, “We should, what do you suppose is in this box?”
Ronald piped in, “Hopefully some smokes! Maybe a playboy…”
Lester and Jeffrey laughed quietly and Gregory hushed them, “Did you hear that??” A women’s scream was heard from downstairs…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Martin (Cultured Drizzt fan), Eric (Twilightblade), Casey (Double A), and John (Centurion1) entered Hall B in hopes to investigate the Library. They left Casey at the base of the stairs, traveled up; left John at the door of the Library, and Martin and Eric went in to investigate.
What they found was a terribly dirty, very unkempt collection of books, as well as a pair of old recliners and a table with a lamp which had no light bulb. They began looking through the books…
All of the books, every single one, had a blank cover page and spine, and every page was empty except for the last page. All of the books had the same print on the last page, which at the top read, “Clear the rogue and there you see, the light for you, the light for me.” With the last part “the light for me” marked out. Then at the bottom of the page they said, “Brilliance and luck, survivalist’s luck, observed from a higher table.”
“This is very weird…” Eric said to Martin.
“Yeah, tell me about it… what does it mean?”
“Hell if I know! Let’s take one back and see if anyone can figure it out.”
Just then, they heard a scream originate from the bottom of the stairs. They ran out; saw Lester’s team reacting to the screaming as well, coming from the Master Bedroom, and John halfway down the stairs.
When they got down they saw Lorraine lying on the ground with a huge chunk of meat missing from her lower back and an enraged Hostile standing over her staring Casey down. When the seven came down the stairs the Hostile bolted up the hallway towards the Dining Hall…
Martin and Lester carried Lorraine into the Foyer, as the rest of the crew carried their obtained items.

I have a feeling we should have staggered our sleeping. Now nearly everyone is sleeping.

Pizza, I thought we had something special between us![]()
we have 5 people who do not need to sleep. I think that is enough to watch us as we sleep in the foyer![]()
The Bedroom..... Ugh. I take responsibility for that. We did not have time to work out a way of handing over the keys and keeping the room locked until needed.Scotish can use the first aid kit to help her as much as he can. The rest of us get some shut eye. Zain am I supposed to divy up the supplies?
Anyone have any idea what the book we found means?

I wish I had some coffee. Someone go get some. I'm sure the guy who locked us up in this place will let us go to the market for some if we promise to come back.
You can assign people equipment if you'd like or you can put it in a big pile somewhere and divy it out as it's needed. Up to you.
CountArach's food needs to be given to someone though.
Also, CDF could you please supply me with a list of the people and their jobs per turn in your Order PM? That would simplify my job considerably.
Also if I receive all of the PM's early I will end the phase and do the write-up. I have a feeling the next one will be much shorter.
Ok, Although it will have to wait till tomorrow morning at the earliest. I am tired...![]()

I wonder what Whitey will be up to tonight.
Um on the first turn when you raided the kitchen the writeup said you had put the food you couldnt carry in some cuboards shouldnt we try to retrieve them?
With 5 people not going to sleep, well we kinda need them to protect us.
Hey could we have shifts? Like every 30 minuets two of the tired people change shifts, while the other 5 finish raiding the kitchen.
Sure, but first anyone who doesn't need sleep speak up and grab the biggest weapon you can
