In light of the recent surprise infected mob, Corey has created a new duty for the University Faction: Building Maintenance. The goal of this quest is to patch up holes and create traps in an effort to protect the overall group.
Quest Notes - This quest can not be completed solo. There must be two or more people in your group. - Each person must do all the steps and dice rolls. No tag teaming! - Your group is given a rather heavy bag of equipment. It's clearly all items from the maintenance shed, and includes such items as a hammer, some nails, a screwdriver set, some fishing line, a measuring tape, etc. Building maintenance supplies. These do NOT count as materials, just aids to help you ICly. - This requires some imagination - after all, there is a very real chance you might be clogging a broken window with a bucket! - No new people may join an open Building Maintenance Thread once the group moves on to step 2.
Step One - Material Gathering - Before you can begin the maintenance, you must gather some materials! - Roll a 5d12 in one post, and match your result to the materials below:
1: You break a couple desks, and now have TWO pieces of wood! (+2 Materials) 2: You find…a bucket? Well, alright. (+1 Material) 3: There are a bunch of backpacks lying around. Three of them. Might as well bring them along. (+3 Materials) 4: You lucky deviant! You found the Janitor's cart. It only has a mop, some cleaning supplies (a bottle of windex, some bleach, and 4 unused garbage bags), and precisely three towels. One of the towels is a grease rag though, at least the other two are clean. (+10 Materials) 5: WILD CARD - You can find ONE item of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+1 Material) 6: You manage to pry down a dry erase board. It's got to be good for something. (+1 Material) 7: You find a projector. Hurray? (+1 Material) 8: WILD CARD - You can find TWO items of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+2 Materials) 9: There are a bunch of bells in a box. Three of them. We're not sure why. But there they are. (+3 Materials) 10: You find a bottle of alka-seltzer near a bottle of coke… (+1 Material) 11: WILD CARD - You can find ONE item of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+1 Material) 12: You find a stack of boring looking books. Three of them. Might as well put them to some use. (+3 Materials)
- Pool your resources. Make a master list of what was found, including how many of them there are. These will be the materials you get to work with as a group! - Continue on to Step Two.
Step One-Point-Five: Choose post order - This can be done however you want! You must go in post order for step two.
Step Two - Makeshift Maintenance - Hurray, you have materials! Now to put them to use. - Each person in the group rolls a 1d10 in turn, until there are no materials left to use. Pooled materials will be used on a first chosen-first used basis. - Match your rolls to the problems below, and do your best to fix them using the pooled materials your group rolled earlier! This means you get to be a little creative with how some of the items are used. - Once a material is used, it can not be used a second time. Once it's used, it's gone!
1: You find a small hole in the wall. (Requires 1 material to fix) 2: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 2 materials to fix) 3: There is a slightly broken window. (Requires 1 material to fix) 4: This window is very broken. (Requires 2 materials to fix) 5: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 1 material to fix) 6: Some of the flooring is compromised, and has a foot-shaped hole in it. (Requires 1 material to fix) 7: There is a large hole in the wall. (Requires 2 materials to fix) 8: This floor is a mess. A whole person could fit down there (Requires 4 materials to fix) 9: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 1 material to fix) 10: One of the vents is open. It's a large vent. Someone could fit through it, unless you fix it. (Requires 2 material to fix)
- If you don't have enough items to finish the last fix - don't worry about it. Really. As long as all your materials are gone, this quest is considered complete!
Course Credits - If you and your team mates complete this quest - meaning everyone has completed their dice rolls and has written at least 400 words - you all receive FIVE course credits. - This is all or nothing - meaning all of you have to meet the criteria to get the credits. If one person doesn't finish this quest/word count, nobody gets it! - Don't forget to link completed quests and earned credits in your journal!
The recent incident at the bathrooms had been quite worrying. Although it had been a single occurrence in the last month, the fact that the infected had managed to breach such close proximity to the dorms was a cause for concern. They had all been careful to ensure the utmost hygiene and monitoring each other for signs of the disease, so it didn't seem as though the infected has come from their numbers. Which could only mean that the fortress had been compromised in the process of accelerated disrepair the building had been falling into.
He had been carefully instructed to assemble a small ground to conduct the task of building maintenance, which he would not refuse although he usually preferred working alone. The equipment was heavy after all, and he would gladly receive help from the young people to do the more demanding tasks. Which also included defending him from any more surprise infected appearances.

Rorrow joined the two other with this task as he heard more than one pair of hands were needed. He had everything he always had, his messenger bag...his baggy hoodie. He saw that someone would need to keep track of the materials. So he pulled put one of the notebooks he found earlier with one of the pens. He flipped it open and started to write out everything so far...
After a few moments he put it down in order to forage for his own set of materials. Finding the janitors cart he let out a soft cheer. "Guys! I found the janitors cart!"
He pushed it back out with all the rest of the items. Pulling the notebook back out to jot the new finds down...

"I found a couple projectors." were they announcing their finds? Jane was unsure and worried. was this what she was supposed to be doing? She could try to help with repairs. She could only do her best though.
She moved a few things over closer to where the work would be done. The boring looking stack of books seemed to be the most useful.

7: There is a large hole in the wall. (Requires 2 materials to fix)
With the repair materials and the group assembled, he led them to the prime location where the problem had arose. Scouring the inside, it was simultaneously surprising, yet unsurprising to find a large hole caved into the wall. Ensuring the room was insulated and waterproof would be a key concern, and so he decided to stuff a backpack into the hole and board it up with the dry erase board.
“There would be more things to fix in here, I'd imagine,” he nodded to the two of them.
Rorrow nodded as he made a list of everything. He read it off to the other two.
"Alright so that's.... 2 -Dry Erase Boards 6- Backpacks 3- Bells 6- Books 1- Janitor's Cart with random items which are a mop, some cleaning supplies."
He paused to look them over..." Looks like...a bottle of windex, some bleach, and 4 unused garbage bags. Oh and precisely three towels. One of them looks a bit greasey though, well at least the other two are clean 2- Projectors 7- Odd Nick-knacks...All in all, a good haul."
When Peter used the two items, Rorrow scratched them off the list. He then looked around the area for the next spot to fix up...he spotted a vent. Oh...crap buckets...wait...speaking of buckets...he saw one around here somewhere...aha there it is. Walking to it he then went over to the vent with a Book in hand. The Bucket fit nicely into the vent, but the book added weight to keep it wedge. It would make enough noise that someone would be alerted to the intrusion. He stepped back down and looked back to the other two...

10: One of the vents is open. It's a large vent. Someone could fit through it, unless you fix it. (Requires 2 material to fix) With the odd nick-knacks we can randomly come up with something not listed to help. like maybe string for some sort of alert system with the bells? Just an idea i had..xD

Ugh there is a spot in the floor here, maybe the black broad and some things to go under it?
Jane grabbed a back pack and filled the space, putting the black board over the top of it. "There I think that is better..."

There was a huge vent left open which Peter was almost certain that the infected had crawled through to make it to the bathrooms. Two plywood board that were salvaged from the old chem lab furniture was used to board it up. He made sure to hack a few slits into the boards, so that the air could still flow through. Don't want to be clogging up the foul smell in the bathrooms now...

Rorrow scratched off the items as he looked around. Then saw yet another vent broken wide open. Seriously?!? What was with the vents in this place? He shook his head. "Wow, the vents are really something else in here."
He figured the more mischievous students were using the vents as a means to scare others. Great. Well, time to fix that problem. Rorrow got a backpack and found a small slab of wood from a desktop in a nearby classroom. He stuffed the backpack into the vent, hacked a few slits in the slab and then boarded it up. If the backpack held anything he hoped it would help in case someone actually used the vents and got stuck up there. He stepped back and looked at Jane with a small smile.

There was a hole in the wall and Jane tried to shove a projector into it.

Making sure there was no one using the bathroom at the moment, Peter made his way over to the girl's washroom and noticed that the vent there was left wide open too.
Scratching his head, he performed a similar fix with more pieces of plywood.

left you 1 odd knicknack to work with for the previous post if that's ok ;v;
Rorrow was so going to complain to Corey about these blasted vents, he spotted one next to the bathrooms broken...he grabbed a projector and stuck it in, seeing a bit of space a book joined it.

Jane found a whole hole int he wall... it was hard to imagine how that managed to get there. She took the cart and wedged it into the wall as best she could and then tied some bells onto it. bu only after dumping everything off it.

4: This window is very broken. (Requires 2 materials to fix)
As they moved outside into the corridor, Peter noticed that one of the windows had also broken. There wasn't much he could do about fixing it, so he decided to close it off with two garbage bags to at least prevent anyone from getting hurt by the broken glass.
Rorrow sighed as he turned and...yup..he was going to scream. Yet another vent looked to be a gaping altering maw of potential danger. Growling about faulty architectonics the youth picked up another backpack then added a book to the mix. Rising he stuffed the vent with the bag while sliding the book on top to provide some sort of sound alert. He really didn't want to stuff these to the point that you didn't have a proper warning. Best bet indeed was to add something heavy that would make a nice sound when it hit the floor eventually.
He bounced as he dropped back down brushing himself off he turned for the next thing...god he hoped it wasn't another vent...
