Plymuth better get his rear in gear and head towards the east if he's gonna join up with the others.

Of course, there was just a series of explosions that surely someone would have heard, even if just faintly.

OR....you can simply change the location of the Oasis and say it's east of the city.

Depending on how things go back at the staging area for the soldiers, I was thinking the band of misfits would regroup at the Oasis (I was under the impression it was east of where they currently were and therefore putting Plymuth, Texan and the slave on a collision course) to make sure everyone was alright and figure out what they were going to do now. But hey! This is our story and we'll figure it all out.

Ah okay I'll make it in the east but it will have to be somewhat in the north and on the outskirts of the city. I'll have to rewrite a few sections.

--------

Okay it's in the east. Would Plymuth hear the explosions? Is he that close?

Well, the outpost is on the very edge of what used to be the city limits, in other words, just where the concrete jungle really started. OF course most of the concrete junbgle is decayed and ruined, BUT...the explosions of the grenades WOULD set off some other explosions since the grenades were discharged where some of their weapons and ammo cash were located.

I'm sure he would either feel or hear them. Especially when he goes into the basement.

Even if he doesn't, he'll have company soon enough. Of that, I'm certain.

The Oasis was a hotel in a small town on the interstate, so it would be a ways from the outpost and city limits. But Plymuth was able to see some specks of the 'city' lights in the distance, so as much as I would like to make him aware the shock waves would be pretty subtle and in the hotel he probably wouldn't have heard anything.

He'll be quite surprised when some new guests check into the hotel.

AH! I got it now. No....he wouldn't be able to feel the shockwaves or hear the explosions.

And yes...he AND Texan will be quite surprised.

No worries, I'm sure they will make it to Oasis now that it's on their general path.

Though I would be surprised if Plymuth saw any lights in the city. I'm pretty sure there aren't any, especially not on the surface. It's pretty much a ruin deserted by everything except 'monsters,' and what few can subsist in the subterranean tunnels below.

So I have to do a write up for those things that are in the pool area of the Oasis and maybe modify Plymuth's post about them. I was tired and didn't get as descriptive as I could. I'll get on that as soon as I can, but I don't think anyone will making it to the basement for a while.

They sound totally creepy....creeeeeeeeeeeepy.......kind of like a different aspect on "The Thing".

What ever they are, I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near them....period.

Heheheh. I loved 'em. And with where our heroes are headed, there is a rather good chance they will run into things like that again. MUA HA HAAAA!

Yeah, the are a little bit like swamp thing. You will really like my description of them, but I can't take full credit for the concept. Old school Dungeons & Dragons players would recognize them as 'Yellow Musk Zombies', only I have put a post-apocalyptic spin on them.

When they are fresh. They are dangerous! Plymuth just lucked out and didn't run into any of them. Realistically there are only a few, since Texan doesn't kill that many people at a time, but just about all the creatures are his victims over the years.

There's the corpse head orchid. I didn't get into any medicinal properties that the plant may harbor as I figured that could something that could be added later should any character ever decide to explore that area.

Texan set up the pool as his own little private 'Undead Plant House'. Who knows why? Guess everyone needs a hobby.

Ok, I have a dumb question: Is everyone in the truck or are Gavin, Gregory, and Skittles still riding alongside with the bike?

"There be no such things as dumb questions. There only be stupid mistakes." that is what my old Irish Grandmother use to say. To my understanding the supplies, the creature, Kitty, Leo and Tom on in the truck. Gavin, Gregory and Skittles are on the bike. But I could be mistaken.

Dann is correct. Gregory, Gavin and Skittles are on the bike.

Thanks for that RPM and AWWWWWW to Leo/Kitty tender moment!! ^_^
