I think that because it didn't gain much attention and since nobody replied to the last post, which I admit was weird now that I think of it. If you guys really wanted to, I could skip ahead to where it left off at but only with the important bits.

The desert heat was merciless, but your endurance has rewarded you with a lush oasis and a ruined factory. Who knows what goodies await discovery within it. Guns? Mechs? Warships? Ok, that last one was too hopeful but you never know!

As you were running to get to the oasis sooner, you catch a glimpse of some people and their small trading ship. They don't appear too friendly, so you did your best to hide behind tall dunes whenever it was possible...

>>1516480
"What was that?" A voice mutters.

You hurry over to the next dune carefully. They might have noticed you, so brace yourself for the worst and pull out a knife. Hopefully, they don't have a gun on them...

"Nah, it's just some Feral Dogs wandering around. These critters tend to split up often without trying and are easy to hunt. Let's go, the 'package' needs to get there as soon as possible." Says another voice.

As you make the final few inches to the oasis, you sigh in relief knowing you dodged a bullet to the head. You know have a bit of knowledge involving the local fauna, a good water source, a good looting spot, and a few options.

>Build a shelter (Go hunting for food and pelts, attempt to cut a tree with a knife [it's difficult but possible, I swear] and spend the rest of the night with no encounters)
>Go looting in the factory (Find useful tools, scrap, weapons and rarely vehicles or interesting random encounters. You will be attacked at nightfall, however)
>Keep traveling (Simply a random encounter)

Get some shelter this time round.

I wonder how many feral dogs you will run into...

Two Feral Dogs were roaming around, looking for somebody to feast upon. Luckily, you were also looking for something to skin and slaughter for personal benefit. You've only got your knife on you, so you did the only reasonable thing...

Victory doesn't always come cheap...

You managed to surprise one of them by suddenly jumping off a dune. You landed with the knife hitting one of them directly in the back, killing it with the impact. The other regained its senses and ran back to get some space. You get up, recovering from the fall, only to see that it's about to bite your leg.

You tried flanking, but it was too late. The last thing it ever tasted was your leg.

Now that you have some spare food, you can lure more dogs out in the open. But first, you might wanna tend to your wounds.

What's the plan?
>Keep hunting with a wounded leg
>Make a splint with the resources in the oasis and your inventory
>Check for medical supplies in the ruins
>Write in (be specific)

>>1516906
>Check for medical supplies or anything of value in the ruins.

Rolled 13, 20, 6, 2, 7, 19 = 67 (6d20)

You limp slowly over to the entrance of the ruins. Hopefully, there were medical supplies for the workers when they got injured...

>>1516963
You've found wrappings for a splint, a pistol with a worn grip (+1 to bullet loss when shooting due to less accuracy), some ammo (18) and a scared feral puppy. It doesn't seem harmful, but you could use it as a friend or as food. Or simply focus on the fact that your leg is wrecked.

You can:
>Befriend it (uses up food)
>Kill it (provides food)
>Ignore it (go straight to healing yourself and trying to make a camp)

>>1516985
Well, I think we've got more food than we could eat before it starts to rot, we could befriend him for now, feed him and if the time comes we could eat him.
Either way it's both a friend and a way to keep a food reserve for now.

>Befriend it (uses up food)

>>1517051
You befriended the feral puppet through the most common way of obtaining a friend:
BRIBERY

You head back to the oasis, take a random twig off of a tree, and use it in your splint. You can now run fine.


Gonna be back after awhile, have to do something...

>>1517124
Alright, see you later OP

Actually, I think this was a bad idea... I still feel new to running a quest... I'll go back to lurking... maybe sometime I the future a similar quest will take over and erase any memory of me...

To anyone, feel free to take over if it seemed like a good idea to you...

>>1521264
Well, have fun QM.

>>1521264
See ya op.

>I think that because it didn't gain much attention and since nobody replied to the last post,
For the last post, I think that's related to how it was about to be bumped off the board.

>>1521264
I actually liked your quest.

Most quests don't get as much attention as we, QMers want, but that doesn't means your quests are bad.
Just be persistent and more people will join as time goes by.
