You don't see any light or hear any sounds, so you step out into the hallway and take a better look. You're in a long hallway with no end in sight. The only thing you can see from where you stand are a couple stairways leading down again. What do you want to do now?

should we go down, or just check both stairwells and see what that blue thing down the hall aways? hmmmm

Yeah I agree. I feel like I'm missing something, but I don't see anything else to do here. Try to be quiet I guess...

the blue thing in the back must surely be the new server yanbu has been moved to....

Proceeding as quite as possible, you reach the first stairway leading down and shine your light below. It leads to another landing, stopping you from seeing what's below. You then walk to the next downward stairway and see the same type of landing below. You're now closer to the blue object and see it's a wide stairway leading up. Do you want to keep going strait, or go up the stairs?

go up! go up! blue! i want to find the doctor's office- doctor's don't have offices in basements and sewers and fallout shelters!

Ok, up it is.

You shine your light up the stairs and make your way to the landing. It looks like there was a door attached to the framing at one time because the hinges are still there. You shine your light up the second half of the stairway and see a darkened hallway. Do you want to proceed?

yes please! and carefully, with an ear to the door before opening?

IS there a door? I say keep going up but slowly and quietly. This is a dangerous spot. What's the sign say? Will we ever be able to have kids after this?

looks like one of those fallout shelter signs. do we have our sling-shot and mulitple nuts ready for peek around corner?

yeah listen to those guys, i didn't read hard enough - it looked like a door! but is indeed a hallway? advancing carefully with slingshot yes

You want to proceed carefully, keeping your slingshot ready. Reaching the top of the stairs, you peek around the corner.......

crud, didnt we have a mirror at one point? did we ever take it with us? that would be so awsome to have right now

You grab the first bottle on the bottom shelf and see that it contains salt tablets. On the label it says they are for dehydration but you never heard of such a thing. The second bottle on the top shelf is half full with iodine. The lable says it's poison so you don't understand how you could use this for water. There are no other labels on the bottle or first aid manual to give you instructions. Do you want to keep any of these items?

If we grab this stuff we should grab a handbook too, it would probably explain how to use them. I say we keep the iodine and leave the salt.

Sheep do we need to play in character and pretend not to know how to use this stuff?

If a player knows how to use an item that's found, or knows what a sign or symbol means, they may share their knowledge at any time.

Take a look at the handbook real quick, see if we can find anything about these things, I have a few ideas but not sure if they would work. Be quick about it though, dont spend more then 5 or so minutes trying to find info.

Well a few drops of iodine can be used to purify water but I don't know how many since this is not the kind backpackers use. This is antiseptic stuff we could use to clean wounds. The salt stuff is probably not table salt. They make some special stuff that helps your body absorb the maximum amount of water when you drink. It's for people who have severe dehydration like from an illness. I don't think we'll need that. The problem is we still don't have anything resembling a canteen that I can think of. We'd need to be able to measure the water to know how much iodine to use. I think we better just split.

Sounds good, put everything back and lets get moving

Sensing that your time in this closet is running low you decide to leave. You have room in your hobo sack for most of the items in the first aid kit but you're not sure if you should take them. They could have a use down the road so this could be a mistake but it's your choice. If you still want to leave, where do you want to go?

lets bag the iodine in case we get cut and take a look (and listen) up the stairs

Take the salt tablets too, and the band aids, if we have the room lets use it.

You decide you might need the salt, iodine and bandaids, so you pack them into your hobo sack and head over to the stairs.

uhhhhhhhhhhh eat the salt and throw the iodine away

Looks like there's a few things in here. Do you want to check anything out?

sure. everything

especially the bottle on the bottom right, and the one on the top shelf - we should definately take the tape and sutures, and some band aids

You want to examine everything, so you start with the two bottles.

You find a lighter on the ground and give it a shake. It sounds like there's fluid inside so you give it a strike. It lights! Do you want to keep it and go the the next item?

keep it

next item

wait! what kind of handbook is it? an dwhat does "cd" mean?or: what kind of company is it?

CD stands for Civil Defense. This is like an old disaster shelter. The handbooks are probably government BS about what to do in case of a nuke attack. A smart kid like us won't need it. I say skip it, time is limited here.

Especially if that number in the corner means it was written in March of 1952...

or April rather. Anyway I doubt it has anything about psycho zombie attacks.

The books are for emergancys, I dont think it has to do with attack of clones or anything, skip the books move on to the next thing.

medicine cabinet. iodine yo! needle and thread for ramboing later. tut tut

ya keep it

You put the lighter into your pocket and decide your best bet is to look in the first aid box. Good choice, let's go see.

Using your screwdriver, you pry the lid off the Sterno can. Inside is some type of smelly pink gel. It doesn't smell edible, so who knows what it's for. Do you want to taste it anyway, or move on to the next item?

dont taste it! maybe we could take this with us. its probably useful in a later moment

empty it onto the floor, there could be something in it

wait a sec... that's really stupid. next item (sorry)

sterno is a flamable jelly used for cooking fuel, like for backpackers. (or civil defense emergency rations) I think we should grab at least one. It seems like something McGyver would keep.

hey maybe that means that reddish thing is a cigarette lighter...?

Yes, Sterno is used for heating or cooking. It might pay to grab a couple cans before you leave. You shine your light down near the sterno box again and see a small orange object. Let's see what that is.

Hmm, the papers on the ground are actually some type of handbook and the round green tin cans say Sterno on the top. There's even a few more cans left in that closed box. Would you like to leave these items and move on?

what the hell is sterno? i wanna know before we go on... lets open one

Ok, let's open one up.

You move all your items over to the closet and hide them behind the door. With the flashlight in one hand and the crowbar in the other, you investigate the contents strewn about the floor. What do you want to look at first? Remember, other people may be coming, so some things might have to be left alone.

first pick up the pan so we can defend us from an attack.then straight to the health-bunus(!)after that we can look at the rest ...

I think grabing the pan is a good idea, but dont tough the first aid kit, we dont need it now, and for now I dont think we will be going far away from it, we could always come back... maybe. Well after you grab the pan, go for the papers! try to keep them where they are though, read read read, WHAT IS GOING ON?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Oh yeah, then see if there is anything in that closed box and that yellow safe?

i think the crowbar is more sufficient than the pot for self defense. i think the medicine cabinet is a must. we may not be injured now, but we may very well be later. i'd also bet that there is some iodine in there to boot.

I'm with Minty, and I also want to look at the little items that are harder to identify. Next to the two stretchers is some round object and next to the little boxes on the left is a little reddish thing that could be an inhaler(?) Just a quick glance so we know what they are. Is that more paper in the far right corner under the first aid kit? *sigh* I guess it's too small to be a slug-thrower huh?

You want to explore everything but you might not have the time. You see the water pot and figure that can wait, so you move forward to the closed box, letter and round thingy. Let's see what you have found.

You tell him you're going to remove the gag, and if he yells, you'll hit him again. You then ask him if he understands, and he shakes his head yes. Grabbing him by the shoulders, you prop him up to a drum and remove the gag. You want to know who he is, so you ask him his name to which he replies " You want to know who I am? Who the hell are you! You just got lucky with me punk, there's an army of us and no one's escaped yet!" Sounds like he needs a little help to get him to talk so you poke him in his ribs with the crowbar. He winches in pain as you demand to know what's going on. With eyes of the devil, he looks at you and says, " You'll find out soon enough, and you wish you never had! Soon, they will be here!". He starts to yell out and you must gag him again. Now what?

more questions

Well I think he was getting at the point, that they are clearly clones... but something doesnt fit... Ask him why there was one that was running from the rest, why do they want to kill everyone, what is going on, ask him if he is really a clone, things to that extent..

Guys I think we need to move! I still wanted to look in that tool shed and I believe this dude when he says more will come. Since we can't kill him could we stuff him in a drum? Or would he be able to kick it over?

You want to ask more questions, so you ask him to calm down. He twist and pulls at the ropes while trying to yell through the gag. It doesn't look like he's going to give you any information, so you need to dispose of him. Looking around the room, you see the empty drum on its side and bring it over to the gagged man. You give him one more chance to talk before you place the drum over his head, then down to his waist. He struggles to break free with all his might as you tip the drum to its side. The drum rings out against the floor as you shove his legs inside. Tilting it upright, You peer inside with your light. Hmmm, doesn't look too comfortable in there. You remember the lid you removed from the drum full of water and retrive it. Sliding the drum as close to the wall as possible, you place the lid on top. That should take care of him for a long time. You remove the extra shirt you had stored in you hobo sack and put it on. Standing there, you wonder what lies ahead. Why do these weirdos all seem to look alike? Is this too much for you to handle alone? Or have you already gone too far? As you look around, you can feel the closet calling you.....the stairs.....the mystery! You turn and spot the sewer pipe.....then back to the stairs.....it's too much, you must explore more. It's in your blood.....let's just hope it stays inside you. Do you want to go to the closet, go up the stairs, or hide and wait? Or something completely different of course.

i say take stairs. and of course use the utmost caution. be ready muuhhuhuhuhuhahahahaha

I STILL wanna see what's in that closet! *crosses fingers for a minigun*

oh yeah! the closet. better ideeer.

Definatly closet

You want to go check out the closet and figure you should be armed. You only have two hands and now possess 4 things to carry. You could leave the hobo sack and slingshot, the sack and crowbar, make two trips bringing all your items into the closet or something completely different. Remember you could be pressed for time, so don't waste it. What choice are you going to make?

Make two trips, we can hide the items now, if anyone does come, they shouldnt know we were here.

Good thinking, you don't want to leave anything laying around that would give you away. Now, off to the closet.

The stranger approaches you, shielding his eyes from your light. When he's within striking distance, you swing the crowbar with both your hands. You hear the thud as it contacts his rib cage.....he falls to the ground. Quickly, you grab the rope and tie him up. He screams out, hoping someone will hear him. You need to keep him quite to see if he'll calm down. Hopefully nobody heard his call and you have some time. What do you want to do next?

Use your shirt and tie it around his head so he cant shout or talk...

I agree that we need to gag him for the moment. Lets play this like we're bank robbers; Tell him "follow my instructions and don't try to resist and you'll make it out of this alive" or something like that. We'll never gain his trust at this point, lets just go for control.

tobeys got a good idea ithink

PLAYERS.....Please note that a couple of comments were removed from this pannel. They were a little too extreem and not in the direction I'd like the story to continue in. Let's try and keep the comments in line with what the main character would do. Remember, he's a young kid that wants to be a detective someday. He has every right to defend himself, but using third world prison tactics should be excluded. Thank you, now let's continue.

To silence him, you tear off your shirt and form a gag with it. Once he's gaged, you threaten him with harm if he doesn't calm down and listen. You grab your light off the drum and look him over. Hmmm, he does look a little like the madman.....or was it the dead man? He looks trapped and helpless, maybe even ready to talk. Would you like to ask him a question?

yes. ask him who he is, whats is going on down here. are there more mad scientists down here or more patients. does he have a reese's peanut butter cup. is there any food down here or drinking water. ummm, anyone else have some questions

he wasn't surprised when he saw me, right? so he must have looked for me or someone else...ask him for his name. hes probably a clone made by this weired doctor guy

No, ask him yes or no questions, I dont think it would be smart to take off the shirt yet...

Wait im sorry, this is definatly not the mad man, the mad man did not have a beard... take off the shirt and question away!

Sheep already said he wasn't the madman but right before we shot him it sounded like he was looking for the guy we found dead. He looks sad in this pic but I don't think he's harmless. I'd like to ask him who he is but be ready to shove the shirt back in his mouth.

Let's start the interrogation.

oh shit, that cant be good

You steady your arm and fire! You see the nut rip into his arm, then nick his stomach. As the room goes dark, you relize you knocked the flashlight out of his hand and into the sewer below. He yells out "You son of a bitch!" then stumbles in the darkness. You take another shot in the dark, but all you hear is the nut hitting the wall. You need to decide what to do and fast. He probably knows the room better than you, so eventually he'll find you. What do you want to do?

WOW! I just had the strangest dream. I signed into the Green Door Alley and you were dead! Good thing it was just a dream. Ok, let's move on.

turn on the flashlight on your arm and fire again!

plan C! plan C! break arm, fracture ribs, make him talk!

oh, but first do that well devised plan of throwing bolts, placing light, trickery, from behind with attack...

Plan "C" it is!

is this rising tension leading to yet another climax in the story? or has sheep left us? i am worried.

there was actually an infringement on the patriotic act with plan "c". sheep has been detained for questioning. his whereabouts are unkown at the time, but it is belived that he is in great danger of being stripped of his freedoms and forced to stop any further posts on this board.

You see his light scanning the room, then focus on the drum you just opened. His footsteps grow nearer as you crouch even further. He scans the room in front of him as he passes you by. He walks over to the drum and starts to investigate it. You have your slingshot pulled back and ready. He doesn't seem to be armed but resembles the other mad man in appearence. Do you want to shoot now and ask questions later, or see if he leaves?

Well it is the guy from before, the blood in his hair must be from where we hit him... shoot now, shoot again later!

IS he bleeding? Or wet?

It's a little too dark to see if it's blood, or just dirt. It can't be the other mad man, he's floating face down in the Delaware somewhere. Just then, he lifts his light from the drum over to the sewer opening, then walks to it. He peers down below, seeing the blood on the floor near the glass. The bastard got into the sewers, you hear him say. You have to reposition slightly to get a shot, this will expose your position more. If he swings his light around you could be seen. If you stay where you are, he can't see you with his light and he might just enter the sewer. Do you still want to shoot?

theres an uncomfortable feeling in me, thinking about shooting someone from behind...

No me! I say blast away. He's gonna figure out someone's down here and he might just run back up the stairs and call others. Besides I wanna examine him if we're going to be running into lots of these guys. Shoot early and often I say.

with any luck he'll fall down the hole and bust his skull.

Alright then, shoot it is.

Try to grab an empty barrel and run for the stairs, then throw the barrel at him when he comes after you.

Try to grab an empty barrel and run for the stairs, then throw the barrel at him when he comes after you.

As you reach the door, you can see that it was kicked in at one time. You start to turn your light to the inside when you hear a sound behind you. Someone is walking down the staircase behind you. You must find a hiding spot quickly. Where are you going to go?

enter the room behind the broken door and try to watch whos coming

No! The door might make noise and if there's not much space inside we might not be able to use our weapon. I say hide with the shed between us and the stairs. There's an even chance the person would walk right past if you held still and turned off the flashlight. That'd be a much bigger advantage.

maybe hide behind some barrels? have sling shot ready with plenty of extra ammo in case some shit goes down, yo.

ok . better

yeah that's prolly better; looking at 114 again, I'm not sure you could get out of sight of the stairs behind the shed like I thought.

At first you think about entering the room in front of you, but the door might make some noise. You move to your left, scope out the corner behind the room, then decide there's not enough cover. Taking a quick look back, you can see the glow of a flashlight nearing the bottom of the stairs. You need to hide now, so you duck behind the first set of drums that will give you cover. As your hands shake, you quietly remove several nuts from your pockets, lay them in front of you, then turn off your light. Now armed, you see the dim glow of light enter the room. Every sound of your breath seems amplified.....your heart drums in your ears again. Will he see you, or are you safe? Is he here to harm you, or help? Let's see what happens.

The tag list the contents of the drum and it is indeed water. You notice the date and wonder how long this water must have been down here. If you don't find a way out, you might have to drink some if something else doesn't happen to you. What's your next move?

Okay NOW back to that shed. Maybe we can find something to keep some water in. I don't think we have anything right now that would work.

yo back to the slad

kix have you been smoking those funny cigarettes again?

Let's go check out the room in the corner now.

: )

You take a box of food over to the drum and lift the lid. Inside is a heavy plastic bag that appears to contain crystal clear water. The inside of the drum looks like it's coated with a heavy varnish and shows no signs of rust. There's a slight coating of dust on top but the bag looks intact. You must be inside of some type of shelter? What do you want to do now?

right now I guess we're still pretty much exploring, so on to the little shed thing. Unless someone else had a better idea. Am I the only one playing now?

Does it read anything in that little label in shutter? It "appears" to be crystal clear water...

Before you approach the room to the left, you notice a small tag on the bag. Let's see what it says.

Im still here, always looking for new pictures :D

You check a couple of boxes on the floor that were empty, then check the one on the shelf. Looks like some type of food. Do you want to try some, or go back to the drums?

Im not hungry, but check one out anways, maybe take one with you, im sure if we run into a dog or something, a little food couldnt hurt.

think those are barrels of water then?

I say check the drums.

Hmmm, the drums could be filled with water. Let's go take a look.

mmmm... me gustan tus dibujos...

Thanks spanish petardo, glad you like the drawings.

Hmmm, there seems to be some type of symbol on the side. The latch on top is opened but the top is still on. It could be filled with a harmful substance, so do you want to open it up, or go check the boxes now?

I see no danger symbols, open this sucker up!

skip the barrels for now and look in the boxes. maybe their contents could give a hint about what's in the barrels

You want to open the barrel but are a little comprehensive. It would'nt cause any harm to check the boxes first, to see if any light could be shed on the contents or the drums. Let's go check out a few boxes.

At the top of the ladder there's a dark damp room. There are several large drums and boxes thrown about. Is there anything of interest you want to check out?

Well we can peek into most of the boxes that are open. I'm curios about the 2 closed ones and the open one on the shelf. Is there some kind of symbol on the drums?

also after the box search, check what looks like a broom closet in the far left corner..

After the closet, check out the service elevator? or door to the right back corner

go down again

more! more!

yeah, what gives!

Yeah Yeah!

Was working on the band drawings.....will continue soon.

You scan the room and decide to check out the drums and boxes first, then the small room at the far end. Let's start with the drums.

You enter another junction and notice a ladder coming down from an open pipe. Shining your light at the bottom, you notice some broken glass and a small amount of blood. Could this be the ladder that leads to the mental hospital? Is this where the dead man first cut his feet? He did say he was lost, so that might explain why he might have been here twice. Do you want to go up the ladder?

Yeah up the ladder we go.

i'd like to go up the ladder too

anything's better than wandering around in circles down here.

Going up!
