Now seems as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Void is dangerous and deadly. Here are some tips if you’re planning on leaving Derleth:
1. Take a friend. There’s safety in numbers.
2. Bring a weapon or quick means of escape in case you run into cannibals, pirates, zombies, etc.
3. Do NOT go to the Manhattan ruins.
4. If you do go to the Manhattan ruins (which you won’t because you followed Tip #3) take a friend. Specifically a friend who’s better at fighting/surviving/hiding than you.
5. Don’t use ‘big magic’. That attracts Alioth.
6. Keep at least a day’s worth of food and water on you in case you get trapped and can’t make it back before nightfall.
7. Watch out for traps set by cannibals/pirates/Lokis/etc.
8. Don’t take risks. If you see a group of strangers, hide.
9. If you don’t have any friends (no judgment,) ask someone from security to accompany you.
10. Cover your tracks. We don’t want to accidentally bring a horde of zombies to our door. Or worse, more Lokis.
11. Stay away from Manhattan. It’s Bad News Bears. IYKYK.
That’s all for now. See everyone at movie night.
SECURITY: Just a reminder that the buddy system also goes for you guys when you’re on away mission duty. No unnecessary risk taking. Find someone else on the signup sheet you want to partner with. Feel free to introduce yourselves here. It’s not a bad idea to have multiple buddies in case your first choice can’t make it.
Also, I’d like for us to partner up with the scavengers and supply runners when they go out. At least until everyone has a better handle on the surroundings and who is capable of what. So keep an eye out for them.
For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, I’m Loki.
SCAVENGERS/SUPPLY RUNNERS: If you need extra security for a big run or if you’re still new to the area, let someone from one of the away teams know so they can go with you. If you can’t find anyone, let me know and I’ll go with you.
ALICIA: We haven’t met yet. I’m Loki. Glinda said you’ll be heading up the supply runs and scouting missions. I know there’s a lot of new people who don’t have a good lay of the land yet, so I wanted to make sure you knew that you’re always welcome to grab anyone from the security away team to take with you—for added protection against everything out there. And to make sure no one accidentally leads zombies to our front door. Also, if you ever want to coordinate anything together, I’ll make myself available to you.
