The group get up for the day and try to start the truck. However, the truck has broken down from use and abuse. It won't start up again. Awsten pops the hood of the truck and easily repairs the car in no time!
Revealed: Awsten's Mechanical: 5/6
"Where'd you learn how to do that?" Otto asks, bewildered that Awsten fixed the car so swiftly. Awsten shrugs.
"Texas," he answers. The group pile into the truck and get back on the Death Road. They are halfway through Georgia and will be in the next state by the night, should there be no issues.
As the group explores a campsite, they are ambushed by bandits. They brandish makeshift weapons.
"WE DEMAND ALL OF YOUR WEAPONS!" they shout at the group, but not loud enough to attract a wave of zombies. This is ludicrous. Not even bandits will usually do this, as it's a sure but slow death sentence. Geoff and Otto look around and notice that Awsten is missing.
Awsten felt suspicious about the campsite, so he was waiting near the car. As everyone is being robbed, the car barrels through the campsite, plows over a tent, and then stops. The bandits are freaked out, so they flee! Everyone is not sure if Awsten did all this on purpose or not.
Otto's Morale: 6/6
Geoff's Morale: 5/6
Revealed: Awsten's Loyalty: 5/6
"Can any human truly be too swole?" Otto asks as Awsten PEELS OUT of the campsite.
"TOO SWOLE TO CONTROL, BABY, WOO!" Geoff yells, pumping his fists. Awsten wonders if it was worth rescuing them or not.
"You guys are lucky you're my friends," Awsten says.
The group is driving down a long stretch of road. No threats on the horizon, but nothing of much interest either. Unexpectedly, the group comes across another trader camp. The group has 47 food. Awsten pulls into the camp quickly.
The group runs into someone selling extra rifle ammo. She says she's frugal with ammo, often killing multiple zombies in one shot. She offers six ammo per food item she gets. The group doesn't have any rifles so they leave her alone.
The group now finds a man claiming to be a traveling medicine salesman. He's carrying two suitcases full of medical supplies. He offers one medical item per food. With the entire group still being half dead, it was a no-brainer to trade some food for the kits. Awsten initiates the trade, handing him ten cans of Apocalypse Meat TM. The trader thinks Awsten is charming and hands him two extra kits. Awsten grins. They thank him and leave to talk to the other traders.
This trader is waving a sturdy military flashlight around. It's an old business trick to draw in customers.
"It pays to be prepared!" she says. She offers a regular flashlight for one food, a TactiCop Lite for five, or Healing Spray for six. While the TactiCop Lite would be useful as it's unbreakable, the group already has two flashlights. They decide to talk to her again later if they change their mind.
The group exists the building and sees a man standing outside his S.U.V.
"Do you have any spare gas?" he asks frantically. He is pacing around quickly. "I'm running out!"
He offers two cans of Apocalypse Meat TM per 25 gallons of gas. Awsten scoffs at the trade. Not that they had enough gas to spare, anyways. They had 8 gallons left.
The group ends up running into TNOMEY THE GNOME again but ignore his antics. He only wants Zombo Points and charges a ridiculous amount for what they'd get. The group piles back into the truck and leave the campsite.
