You are the cancer that is killing independent gaming corporations.

I will share my experience with ZoA.
Shot guns are truly deadly and at close range can kill every thing.
Weapons are more accurate but have much more recoil.
Anomalies are mostly invisible and very deadly.
No zooming in when Aiming down the sights.

Stealth has been improved(Read: made possible)
And having to load magazines make it extremely /k/ related.

>>11297972

I wish I'd saved the screencap from the last thread of the guy who whined about STALKER not being /k/-related, reported the thread, and got banned for it. Shit was hilarious.

Third post:

>>11298017
I'll give you that grammatically it's ambiguous...but the direct object was the arguments in reference to people arguing against stalker.

>>11298014

Oh no, it's the child who calls everyone kid in STALKER threads.

This one's fucked. Abandon thread.

Stalker has about a dozen of fanatic defenders on it's /k/ relatedness

its not acceptable, even the mod agrees thats its not.

>>11298142
Yeah, if you mean not at all. Fallout is more like Mad Max.

STALKER is more akin to...

8:34:02 hours
Military Warehouses

It's Monday, which means it's time to check on my artifact recipes. I picked the village between the Duty camp and the Merc checkpoint for several reasons.

1: the density and variety of anomalies
The clusterfuck of electro, vortex, and burners is actually very handy for the artifact production process. I can make several different kinds of artifacts all in a relatively close proximity.

2: the density and variety of anomalies
Yes, I'm repeating myself, but i just thought of another reason why this is handy. This little town doesn't get much human traffic, aside from the occasional careless bandit, which don't last very long. Those who don't know the safe paths, like me, usually don't make it halfway through before getting fried, incinerated, imploding....or eaten.
The Bloodsuckers posed a problem at first, but after I learned of their strange weakness for Vienna Sausages it became a matter of time before an unspoken agreement was formed between us. I leave 25-30 kg. of the canned food every week, they leave me alone.

3: Close proximity to Bar and other trade venues
It's not that long of a walk to the Bar from here, and while I'm on good terms with Duty and Freedom, they don't mind me coming in and trading with the men from time to time. I just hope they don't figure out I'm giving the same "special deals" to the other faction.

>>11298215

Today marks the end of the 5th week I've been trying to create the legendary "Pudding" artifact. These damn electro anomalies keep rendering the fire dummies inert. Spits them back out as useless cobblestones. Sure, the scientists in Yantar will pay good money for those, but who wants to haul 50kg of that crap through the Wild Territory? It took me over 15 tries to finally make a Moon Dummy artifact. Took all the patience and self control I could muster not to sell the damn thing that instant, but I HAD to have that Pudding artifact.

It's been almost 8 hours since I threw the Moon Dummy into the Fruit Punch anomaly last night. For such a anomaly heavy area it's strange there is only one spot with these glowing slime pits. Truth be told, I wasn't even looking for the FP when I stumbled upon them.

The blowout had taken me by surprise while I had been waiting for Fire Tears to form in a Burner. My PDA had run out of batteries, so I never heard the alert come from Antov at the Bar. Couldn't risk sprinting through the town in a mad dash to the Duty camp. If I'm not careful one of these Vortex's will swallow me up.

Found a stable enough looking house to hole up in, right as the first emission hit. As luck would have it, this particular home had a basement with a ladder. Started climbing down without even checking, and almost landed right in the damn Fruit Punch. I don't know how these cursed things manage to put themselves in such advantageous spots, like at the foot of a Goddamn ladder in a Goddamn dark basement where I can't see shit.

Nevertheless, made a good hiding spot, and found another piece of the Pudding recipe.

<continued>.....

OP here.

What mods do you have?

I've never heard of ZOA. Sounds awesome. I have stalker complete; it just feels good man. And jezuz. Fuck trying to firefight in the dead of the night. I just run to the nearest fortified spot and fucking sleep. I already freak the fuck out at *SUDDENLY RAPE MONSTER*, so I don't know how this is going to go. Have HK MP4, 300 rounds of 9x19mm gun snacks. Not ballsy enough to play only with guns I own; am not willing to place my life on my player char's ability to rack bolts.

Guys, If you are tired of this shit I suggest you send an e-mail like mine to moot. go ahead and use mine if you like. my proposed e-mail to moot (still working on it)
Dear moot,

There has been many videogame threads (specifically stalker) on /k/ the past few months. They are appearing several times a day now instead of what used to be a bi-monthly thing. Stalker threads used to be tolerated but it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore them. We /k/ommandos ask that you please ban those who continue to post videogame threads on /k/.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I suggest a sticky with an introduction to the board, guns and knives. There are always a lot of newcomers asking for advice on what gun/weapons they should get, I feel that a sticky would be very helpful to them.

>>11298343

On the roof of the Fruit Punch house I have a good view of the town. Nice day out. Feels about 58. Partially cloudy. Not supposed to have another Blowout for another day or so. As the transmutation times are usually off by an hour or so, I figured I could catch some shuteye. Curled up in a corner of the attic and wrapped myself in a blanket. Didn't take long for me to nod off.

Awoke to the sound of a Vortex imploding. Wide awake with my 1911 out in seconds. Peaked through a hole in the ceiling to look out over town. Spied the source of the commotion near the outskirts of town. Two Bandits were making their way in, not by the main road, but the east side of town, where the derelict structures concealed their approach better.

For a moment I thought they might have lost a 3rd party member, but the lack of bloody giblets around the Vortex center said otherwise. Then the man in front did something that explained why. He tossed a bolt 45degrees to his left, turned a bit, and tossed another one straight out. The metal triggered a Whirligig and gave away it's location. Carefully they stepped around the anomaly hotspot the bolt exposed and made their way further in.

These Bandits obviously knew what they were doing. And had a goal in mind. They were looking for something IN the village. If they wanted to pass through, they could have easily gone around the north perimeter where the anomalies were less frequent, or cut through the main road, where it was easier to see them.

<continued>....

>>11298471
that's actually a good one

>>11298581

I have a bad feeling about this. Most of the bandits steer clear of this place. Has a nasty enough reputation, and everyone knows anything of value had been looted out years ago. Did they find out about my little "project" somehow? I loosen my FAL from my pack and quietly rummage through my bag to find the Doster scope. While I'm attaching it to the rifle I look up once in a while to check on their progress. Currently they're peaking inside of a half-dilapidated structure that may at one time have been a butcher's shop.

They're about 65 yards out when I ease my FAL onto a makeshift shooting post and point it through the 6 or so inch wide hole in the roof. Mind you, I don't actually poke the barrel out through the roof, that's a stupid amateur move. I keep back from the hole about 3 feet, to make sure there isn't enough light reflecting off my person to give me away.

<continued>.....

btw, if this is seriously bothering you guys, let me know and I'll stop

They're coming towards my direction now, poking their heads in houses here and there, checking for signs of life. If they're looking for something in particular, they aren't doing a good job of it. Maybe just scouting? The lead guy looks across the road and points at my house. Oh bugger all! This is too much for coincidence. They start to make their way across the road coming right at me. They might not come inside, they might just poke their heads in a make a quick check like they did for the other houses. But, if they do come in, I'm not going to have a distinct advantage. One of them has what looks like a AKS-74u, and the other a sawnoff Toz shotgun.

This could get nasty. If I take the shot now, I could probably drop them before they even new what hit them. Right now they're out in the open, in the middle of the road, and clustered 2 feet from each other like a couple of idiots. But what if backup is waiting right outside of town, or they have a sniper watching. Unlikely, but possible. While I'm trying to come to a decision, that's when the unthinkable happens.....

>>11298700
Go on.....

>>11298471
You copied my E-mail except you are making demands and have the opposite bias, how cute.

>>11298700

I must have either the worst luck, or the unexpectedly best luck in the world. As the bandits were making their way towards me from 40 yards out, that's when the anomaly in the basement decided to complete it's transmutation and spit out the artifact, causing it's telltale blinding flash and accompanying FWWOOOSH!

This surprised the bandits and for a moment they stood in awe of the intense light emitting from the house. "SHIT, WHAT IS THAT?!?" one of them said.
"I don't know, a mutant?" said the other. The one who just spoke readied his AKu and began backing up cautiously. "We should get out of here man, I don't like this" he said in a shaky, obviously pisspants scared voice. The other, apparently braver, bandit was easing towards the house.

During this confusion I was frantically trying to decide if I should fire or let it play out. At the same time my imagination was running wild, and anticipation raged war with adrenaline as I thought about what artifact awaited me below. Could the Pudding artifact have finally been produced? It was then the frightened bandit, who was still backing away, made the all too well known mistake of "not watching where you are stepping". He should have heard the rustling of leaves behind him, as they were pulled endlessly around in tiny whirlwind, or felt the slight pressure on his eardrums where the air pressure changed. But the commotion going on in the basement was too distracting, and by the time he felt the invisible tug on his backpack, it was too late.

<continuted>.....

>>11298818
>making demands
how? did I say, "get those fuckers outta here or I will fuck your shit?" no, I asked moot politely to do something about this problem. I did copy your idea of sending moot an email, yes, something should be about this.

>>11298938
>should be about this.
should be done about this

>>11298895

The Vortex pulled him in with relentless force, like a spider getting sucked into a vacuum cleaner. The other bandit spun around and watched in horror as his companion was mercilessly flung around and around like a ragdoll, until he was gradually lifted into the air. The sound of the Vortex gaining speed and pressure was almost deafening, like standing behind the engine of a 747.

The vortex, like the whirligig, is a gravity-based anomaly. When triggered these dangerous anomalies emit a sudden gravitational burst, in either a push or a pull form. The whirligig will push outwards in great force when you step into it's trigger zone, like getting hit with an air cannon at close range. The Vortex however.....

The main difference between a Whirligig and a Vortex is pretty simple: size and strength. The Vortex has a much larger range, much harder to escape from than a Whirligig, and it deals a hell of a lot more damage. Escaping the Vortex anomaly, once dragged in, can range in difficulty from easy (if you know what you are doing) to downright impossible, depending on the strength of the anomaly and the person trapped. The type of armor worn is also very important, as the odds are that you will take at least one gravitational burst.

A person equipped with ceramic plate armor backed with kevlar might make it out alive. If they're lucky enough to have inertia force dampening artifacts they have a pretty good chance. A bandit like this guy though, wearing only a heavy raincoat, doesn't stand a chance......

>>11298964

The vortex was reaching its climax. The roar was so loud the victim's frantic screams were a mere whisper, and the wind so intense, even in the attic, my coat was flapping wildly, and I had to shield my eyes from the dust. The other bandit was trying to hold onto a broken fence post to avoid getting sucked in along with his partner.

As the gravitational pull sucked in all the matter trapped in its field the bandit went from being violently flung around, to spinning blindingly fast in a tight ball at the center. Even over the roar of the vortex you could hear his bones snapping. Finally, the vortex reached the boiling point, and discharged.

For a split second, everything went quiet. The deafening roar of the wind stopped instantly, and it seemed the only sound in the world was my own heavy breathing. Then the gravity burst.
CHOOOOOOOM!
Body parts, guts, and pieces of clothing went flying in all directions. The force was so immense I could feel the whole house shake, and what looked like part of the AKu gastube lodged itself in a support beam right next to my head.

(sorry this is taking so long, I'm kinda just writing this as I go)

Blood was splattered everywhere. Limbs and other identifiable parts of the human body were scattered around the site. The other bandit was still on the ground, gripping the fence post. A gasmask covered his face, but I could imagine the horrified look on his face at that moment. He slowly started to come to his senses, and it was beginning to sink in what had happened. He noticed the blood covering him, and picked an ear or something off his pant leg. Then he started raving like a madman, kicking wildly in an attempt to get away from the spot where his partner once stood. He scrambled to his feet and sprinted back the way he came. I half expected him to end up the same way his partner did, the way he carelessly ran through the town, but I suppose the powers that be have some sense of mercy.

As I watched him leave I suddenly remembered the artifact. I was so excited I left my FAL where it lay, half climbed half jumped down the steps, and made for the basement. Despite the horrific scene I had just witnessed, I was running through this derelict house like a little boy on Christmas morning. I slid down the ladder, gripping the sides with hands and feet, and jumped at the last second to avoid the boiling Fruit Punch. At first I didn't see anything, and for a second I thought the anomaly might have completely broken down the artifact into nothing, but then I saw it in the corner, half hidden behind an old stove.

The soft glow it emits makes it hard to miss. A bright orange and white light, almost other-worldly. It's quite beautiful to look at, but aside from that the Cobblestone is essentially useless. Created from artifacts that have gone inert and lost its anomalous properties, these heavy spheres of condensed base materials and minerals are nothing more than a paperweight. Through my little experiments here, I've gained quite a collection of them, as the glowing well at the edge of town will attest.

I plumbed down in the dirt in helpless disappointment. So many hours or preparation, so many artifacts used when they could have been sold for a fortune.
All wasted.
"SON OF A BITCH!"
I shout as I slam the wall next to me in frustration. I should have known this was a fruitless endeavor. The Scientist I saved from that pack of wild dogs had warned me that the Moon-to-Pudding recipe he gave me had only a 10% chance of success, and that was if I could get it this far.

I decided I had enough. There was more money to be made gathering artifacts in Pripyat, or doing tasks for the scientists at Yantar. Killing zombies was better than going insane from boredom and frustration here.

I collected my things and prepared to head back to the Bar, but before I could leave there were a few minor artifacts I had brewing in whirligigs and electros that I had to collect.

<continued>.....

>>11299328
I did just because that junker chick was annoying as fuck.

The fuck when the bitched survived.

>>11299345
I just wanted it to live up to it's namesake. Does that make me a bad person

>>11299358
Yes.

yes it does.

>>11299345
You did all that because you hated....Moira?
The fuck's wrong with you?
She's awesome! She's one of my favorite NPCs in FO3.

I don't like you. My jimmies are rustled.

>>11299328
I didnt, but i methodically murdered everyone there with an AK.

>>11299336

The sun is beginning to set by the time I finally leave the house. I'd better get a move on. It gets pretty hairy around here at night. Check to make sure my FN FAL and Colt 1911 are loaded and one in the chamber. Sling my backpack on and hit the road. There are a few anomalies on the way back I had thrown a couple of cheaper artifacts into to see if they produced anything, so I check on them as I leave town. One of them had apparently been dissolved, or hadn't finished, another spit out the same as it went in (I bag that), and the last had Cobblestoned. Go fucking figure. Today is just not my day.

On the way out I stop near the edge of the Bloodsucker territory and cautiously approach. I'm sure they're out there somewhere, watching me, but they know who I am by now. The Vienna Sausage guy. Sure enough, the bag of canned sausages I had left on the usual stump that morning was gone. Bits of tin cans littered the area. Funny creatures, those Bloodsuckers. I wonder if they remember being human?

I'm about to turn and leave when something catches my eye.....

>>11299388
uhh that voice and the forever perky optimism.

>get mission early on to investigate that tunnel full of electros
>pattern is way too complex for me, and I don't have enough medkits to tank it
>fuck that
>walk up the east side of the hill
>drop an RGD6 at some poor bastard's feet
>as the rest of them charge up the hill, pick them off with my shotgun
>take two steps into the tunnel
>walk through the checkpoint
>step into the other end of the tunnel
>MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

>>11299485
You know EXACTLY what i mean, then.

She was a blast to talk to during the wasteland survival guide.

>>11299554
Maybe if she didn't have the disposition of a 12 year old. She would make a good wasteland girlfriend but that unnatural naivete made me feel guilty for thinking that and then my guilt turned to loathing...for her.

>>11299466

There is a structure just inside the Bloodsucker territory, a rec center or something. Never really noticed before, but just a second ago I thought I saw a light flash inside. The windows are mostly boarded up, and the door barred and sealed. This must be a radioactive hotspot. My Geiger counter confirms when I take three steps closer, going from 60 microroentgen per hour, to 440 microRph. Unusually high amounts, but not deadly. Against all common sense I decided to take a look. How much worse could this day get anyway?

Though the conventional entrances were sealed, a portion of the wall had collapsed on the south end of the building, hidden by overgrown brush and fallen trees. It's unlikely anyone made it past the anomalies and bloodsuckers to find this entrance, so I'm very likely to be the first person to set foot in the building in over 20 years.

Who else was extremely disappointed in the living conditions of Tenpenny Tower

>>11299585

The sun has dipped below the horizon now, and night is beginning to set in. The interior of the building is extremely dark. I switch on the flashlight attached to my vest and make my way in. I've entered what seems to be a shower room. The walls have been almost completely eaten away by nature. Mold, rust, and dust covers everything. I take a moment to stay still and hold my breath, listening for signs of life. A constant *drip* *drip* is coming from one end of the room. Aside from that, there isn't a sound.

Satisfied that I am the only one in the building I continue on. A fallen locker has blocked the door leading out, so I am forced to move it. I try to be as quiet as possible, but only succeed in making a very loud grinding and creaking sound as I lift and move the heavy piece of metal. Someone or something was sure to have heard that, if they were here. I ready my 1911 pistol. The FAL is slung over my shoulder. The semi-auto battle rifle won't be as effective in these tight quarters.

(is anybody reading these? should I go on?)

>>11299679

Yes, I am reading and quite entertained. Please continue. In fact, copy them down so you can repost them later in the event that I pass out. I love STALKER fiction.

Now I'm in a hallway that connects to the lobby. I can see light coming from gaps on the boarded up windows, also, there is a sizable hole in the roof. I'm not sure where the light came from exactly, I'm not even sure what I'm doing in here, but I'm here, so might as well make the most of it. there is another hallway a little further down and on the right, I decide to head there. After a few moments of stumbling over debris in another dark hallway, I come out into a indoor pool area, much like the Azure in Pripyat.

For a moment I am awed by its haunting beauty. There are sunroofs pouring in dazzling orange light from the setting sun. dust and insects floats through the beams of light like fairies dancing, or some gay shit like that. Nature has started to reclaim the land even in here. weeds poke up through broken tiles, and entire shrubs are growing in the empty swimming pool. There is a beautiful, tree growing in the center of the pool, right where the light seems to collect. It has been gnarled and twisted by radiation, yet somehow seems to have flourished and bloomed an amazing array of colorful flora.

It is there, at the foot of the tree that I find what I am looking for.....

>>11299854

Dark, twisted roots are seemingly plunging from the earth, to break through concrete and tiles to give the tree life. The amount of roots and area they fan out are more than the head of the tree itself. Some of the roots are peculiarly strange looking. One looks to be about a foot thick, and spans 5 feet across the pool bottom to jut out into the air and impale the pool wall. One such root, nearer to the tree, actually starts from halfway up the trunk, comes out a foot or so into a loop, and branches out into 20 or so smaller roots that delve into he ground. It is in this loop that hangs one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

From here it looks like a glowing bushel of grapes, only longer and thinner. I'll have to get closer to see. In my amazement I forget myself and begin walking towards the pool, my gaze drawn by this strange wonder of nature and pollution. The modified Geiger counter's sudden beeping and clicking is all that saves me from walking into a whirligig I failed to notice. Thank God I spent the money on a advanced anomaly detector. It's then I notice the entire pool area is flooded with anomalies.

<continued>.....

bump

Want more.

How many times do I have to pray to Tzeentch for a stealthy approach to be fucking successful? Holy shit.

>>11299990

This could be a bit tricky. It's not just whirligigs, I can see electros and fruitpunches at the bottom of the pool, a vortex floating above the tree, burnt fuzz hanging from the diving board and ceiling, and burners along the sides of the pool. Anomalies aren't my only problem. The radiation levels have spiked tremendously. I'm reading 465.7 roentgens per hour. I can't stay here long.

But whatever is in that pool is too amazing to pass up. I don't care if it kills me. I carefully begin to pick my way to a ladder leading down into the pool. I ease between the hotspots of two burners. I can feel the immense heat on my face and hands. A single misstep could cause them to erupt. Using a handful of washers and bolts I find a patch through the whirligigs and burners. When I get to the ladder I find burnt fuzz covering the top rung. If I can just cut the top layer away I might be able to get down.

I draw my knife, and after a few moments of gingerly cutting away at it while holding it down with a piece of an bio hazard suit I manage to free most of it from the ladder. The knife is completely ruined though. I can see it rusting and disintegrating before my eyes. I make my way down the ladder, but it doesn't quite reach the bottom, forcing me to drop down about few feet. I land safely, and turn to meet the tree.

<continued>......

>>11300149
Go on

>>11300149

Though Fruitpunches and electros dot the bottom of the pool, it doesn't take long to find a path to the tree. It's even more beautiful close up. Though the roots and branches and grotesquely gnarled and misshaped, there are formed in such a way that only adds to its wonder. The leaves are in different odds and shapes, and in the brightest shades of green and darkest shades of blood red I have ever seen. They seem to catch the sunlight, and almost emit their own glow. On the ones where the light shines through I swear I can see the veins pumping a purple fluid through them, like blood.

There are these amazing flowers of multiple brilliant colors, and what seems to be fruit hanging down in one or 2 places. They are the most delicious looking fruits I have ever seen, like something out of the Garden of Eden. But something tells me if I eat of this tree I wouldn't be getting knowledge, most likely a slow and painful death.

<continued>......

As I round the tree I finally get my first good look at the strange glowing object hanging from the root. It's not just hanging from it, it's growing from the tree. It looks like a string of strange glowing pearls, or berries, I'm not sure. Whatever the little orbs are, they glow with the most dazzling light.

I can't look away.

I just want to stare at it forever.

The more I look at them the more brilliant they look

as if I'm falling into their light into a galaxy of stars.
The Geiger's sudden clacking snaps me back to reality. The radiation levels have jumped again. HOLY FUCK! 845.8 roentgens! Gotta go. Now! I look at the glowing wonder, which can only be an artifact, and I hesitate. What would happen if I just grabbed it? Instant death? Slow and painful radiation poisoning? IMMORTALITY?!?

I make my decision. I grab it, and give it a good yank. For a moment, it doesn't budge. It's warm to the touch, and I can swear i can feel it pulsing, squirming in my hand. Is it alive? Too late to worry about it now. I give it one last good hard yank and it snaps free. The moment it breaks free of the tree, I hear a deep, painful sounding moaning, and groaning. It sounds like it's coming from the tree.

To my amazement, I witness the color, the light, the very life ebb from the tree. The leaves shrivel, and fall. The fruits rot and turn to black raisins. The branches droop, the bark turn grey. The roots seem to writhe in agony. Within moments, what was once the most beautiful tree that ever existed, had turned to a withered, dead, pitiful thing.

But the artifact still glowed in my hands, I could still feel its warmth, its power.

<continued>....

>>11300379
>>11300379
moremoremoremore

Also can you really make artifacts by throwing other artifacts in anomalies?

>>11300379

Sometime later I sit in the attic of my little hovel, gazing at my new found artifact. It's still warm, though it glows slightly less that it had when bonded with the tree. I wonder what it could be. It looks sort of like the glassbeads artifact. Could this be some sort of transmutation of that? I have heard of a rare strand called ancient glassbeads, which is said to give the user incredible healing abilities, a healthy body, and even makes them bulletproof somehow. How much is fact and how much is fiction no one can be sure. No one at the bar has ever even seen the ancient glassbeads, though it's said a certain STALKER that came through here had one....

What was that noise?!?

Something's outside. It sounds like voices. I peak through the sniper hole and take a look. It's almost too dark to see anything, but thankfully it's a clear night and a full moon. After a moment I spot him. A bandit, or a stalker, I'm not sure. He comes around a house and stops to take a look around. Then I notice another one a couple yards away from him come out into the open. Then another. Suddenly there's 10+ men gathering in the town about 85 yards away.

I can see the obvious leader in the middle of the group. I get out my binoculars and take a look. He's a tough looking one. Wearing a heavy trenchcoat, air filtration system, armor, probably kevlar. Oooooh, has himself a Colt M4 carbine does he. Aw shit, underbelly nade launcher too. Looks like he's talking to one of the men. Well well well, if it isn't our old friend. Looks like you changed your underwear and came back for more. Guess he was just a scout afterall. Wait a sec, now he's talking to someone else....who's......what the?!? YOU SON OF A BITCH!

>>11300496
you can in the Oblivion Lost mod, which SMP uses and that's the best mod IMO

>>11300543

Galya Borov, aka "Whitesnake"

Well the treacherous bastard lived up to his name. He was a member of the Duty squad who I often did business with. Started off selling looted weapons to him, and then occasionally an artifact or two when I started the experiments here. Once, at the Bar, after a couple of drinks I let slip the details of my little "project". I thought he was too drunk to remember, but I guess I was wrong. Last I heard he got discharged for striking a superior officer. I guess he had no where left to go but the bandits.

So, he figured he could bring some of his new found friends and bust up my operation. Too bad for him I'm done here, and I got something that will probably make me richer than Putin. Once I slip out those bastards can look all they want. Hopefully they'll trip in a few anomalies along the way.

I quietly ready my gear and get ready to move. When I next check on them I see old peehispants pointing at my place again. FUCK! Guess he remembered that light in the basement. Better get moving. Whitesnake pulls out a radio and says something over it. Wonder what that's abou-
Hmm?
Noises from behind the house.....

(I'll be back in a bit, going into town to get food, again, sorry for the wait)

Not stalker per say- stalker RP,
I thought it was a funny screenshot though.

Duty doesn't like me.

>>11300688

No hole to peak out the roof on the northern end of the house. Have to go down to 2nd floor and a window. Through the window I spot another group of bandits creeping through the houses and rubble on my flank. Now I'm looking at 15+ baddies.

HoofuckingRah

This isn't going to be a walk in the park as I thought. A quick check on the first group confirms my fear, they're converging on my position. The second group is close to the front door now. Luckily, the steps from the attic are close to the exit, so I might be able to sneak by them once they come in and go for the basement, unless they immediately go upstairs, in which case I'm fucked. I can try to crawl out the second story window, but a 15 foot fall can leave me in a rougher spot if I'm not careful.

Time to make a decision, they're coming in. I stand at the top of the staircase on the 2nd floor, peering down into the hallway where the front door is. I can see their dim shadows as they enter. This is it, moment of truth. Go left go left go left. For fuck's sake go left. The shadow of the lead man stops on the floor. He would be standing in the hallway just inside the door, faced with the decision to go left, or right. If he goes left, towards the kitchen and basement, I might have a chance. If he goes right, all he'll find is the stairs, and me.
The shadow begins to move.
