In Progress RPGCodex Fails at Escort Missions: An Interactive LP of Convoy

[Alex Heartnet]

Spoiler

One attempt later...

Spoiler

Hey, it's probably more then TORVAK would of paid.

The R998X Chip lies 145KM South, if you guys feel like we have the firepower.
The Ethanol is 294 KM Northwest
The Sonic Screws are 72 KM to the South
The Stem Bolt Monopoly :angryfist: can be found 137 KM to the south

 

[Grimgravy]

Screws are close. Lets get them.

 

[Nevill]

The Sonic Screws are 72 KM to the South

This. Also,

Drive over to the delivery point and give them 60mm autocannon rounds instead of the MilSpec

Where is the delivery point?

 

[Gondolin]

No robot

 

[Nevill]

No update.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

No update.

Sorry, had a bad emotional crash a couple of days back.

This. Also, Where is the delivery point?

Gone, since we didn't choose that option.

Spoiler

Spoiler

WHOA what happened to Quad Bucket's armor?

eh it'll be fine. Probably. Hopefully.

The Sonic Screws are closest at 72 KM South, so let's head that direction

Spoiler

Erm. Have we not seen this encounter before?

Spoiler

Oh this is new at least.

halp halp what do

 

[Nevill]

After the raiders. No self-respecting pirate would burn down a building if there is something of value left inside. And if they do, they deserve a slow and unusual death anyway.

 

[Grimgravy]

Run into the burning building for potential loot left by the raiders. That sounds like a good plan!

 

[Azira]

You bastard you.

Yes. You. Alex Heartnet

You made this LP just to make me buy the game, didn't you?

Well, it worked. Bought it yesterday, and I've sunk 18 hours into it already, trying to unlock as much stuff as possible.

I like this answer the best

Spoiler

Spoiler

The game plops us straight back to the world map. I guess we do indeed have to chase

Spoiler

OH GOD THIS AGAIN

Well you guys want a fight so

Spoiler

Spoiler

oww

 

[Alex Heartnet]

Ladies and germs, may I present to you the Super Heavy Laser.

You aim it like so

Spoiler

And then tell your guys to dodge the exclamation marks from one of the enemy weapons

Spoiler

And then Zap! The bad guys get hit with a huge laser beam.

Spoiler

The laser beam lasts for a good while as well.

Spoiler

Best of all, you can move the laser while it is shooting!

Spoiler

Spoiler

Unfortunately, the laser runs out eventually. And it takes a really long time to recharge; you will generally only be able to use it once per battle.

also one of those raiders has a minelayer

Spoiler

Not that it helps him.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Spoiler

Well, unless the game bugs out on me again then I guess we are raiding a convoy. No honor among thieves?

The Sonic Screw Convoy is 281 KM to the Northeast
The Stem Bolt Monopoly is 66 KM south
The Ethanol Chemist is 345 KM to the Northeast
If you guys really feel up to a boss battle, then the R998X chip is 78 KM to the South

We could also drive back to the camp 125KM north, but our fuel supply is finite and as long as we can avoid a second fight like that we should be able to manage an additional battle or two.

 

[Nevill]

No honor among thieves?

They aren't thieves, though. Just wannabies. That makes them a fair target.

The Stem Bolt Monopoly is 66 KM south

This.

Then try to repair if possible before engaging anything major.

 

[Azira]

I'll abstain from voting, as having played so much myself, I feel like I would be spoiling the LP.

I'll just add that actually doing these combat encounters is a good way of getting more fuel.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

So I wake up this morning to see this thing

Spoiler

What did the devs break now

Let's just hit the road and find out.

Wait no we are investigating this shiny radio signal first

Spoiler

Spoiler

 

[Azira]

A chance to get a fourth set of wheels, if you're lucky?

 

[Alex Heartnet]

Spoiler

I believe this is a classic "might as well at least talk to them before we shoot" situation?

Spoiler

As far as I know, this is the only place to get a minigun. A shame one of those is not up for sale.

Spoiler

No, I don't think the game will give us all of those if we open fire right now.

 

[lightbane]

Take the Railgun and test it on them.

 

[Gondolin]

Railgun sounds ok.

 

[Nevill]

Take the Railgun and test it on them.

I agree with this sentiment.

 

[Azira]

You can sometimes buy a minigun at another radio signal/random encounter.

 

[Grimgravy]

Sure. Railgun sounds nice.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

I'll buy the railgun for 80 parts, please.

Spoiler

Yes, thank you thank you. Wait, what do you mean, "I cannot shoot you with it"?

Spoiler

I'm sure you goons probably wanted to buy out their whole stock as well.

I guess there's always next oh lookie radio signal

Spoiler

Spoiler

 

[Grimgravy]

Scout!

 

[Nevill]

Oh well. Let's scout first and block the escape routes. We don't want anyone telling on us.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

Spoiler

Spoiler

I think I already know what you lot want to do, but better check to make sure
