Freshman Quest: Healing 101
Charlie felt it would be beneficial to show the newbies some basic medical techniques, hopefully to keep you alive a little longer! Deciding it would be better to actually show them in a (somewhat) more sanitary environment than the Dorms, so this quest takes place in the Health Department (their make-shift Infirmary). There are a few lingering staff and helpers around who show you the ropes.

Quest Notes:
- You can do this quest as a group if you'd like! Just roll the steps as usual.
- There is a 300 word minimum word count for each person in this quest.

Step One: Learning the Layout
- Roll 3d6 in one post OR 1d6 in three separate posts. RP your character inspecting these areas. (if you roll multiples you can either Re-roll or say they inspect that area super closely)
  • 1: Pull out a drawer and inside you find their supply of band-aids and bandages. It seems like a lot but in reality it would not last long if things really went down.
  • 2: A locked Cabinet filled with medicines. The staff tell you that only one person in their group holds the key to it, and he is quite the cranky customer. They say just in case something happens to the holder there is a hidden spare key somewhere.
  • 3: You look down at a metal table with shiny instruments piled on top. Really to you they look like mini torture devices, best not hang around for long. In reality they are emergency items for surgical needs.
  • 4: You instead the tables that the staff have covered in white linens. There are some mysterious stains on them, red tinted.
  • 5: Neat! There is a working height and weight scale the team had moved into the department. Good to know!
  • 6: A small room with a door off to one side. Inside is a simple desk and a few chairs, clearly a private area for meetings if you'd rather keep things hush hush. There is also paperwork on top of the desk. One of them is a log explaining what had been used and who had been there and when.

Step two: Using Supplies
- Not wanting to waste their limited medical supply on trainees, instead they improvise using similar objects to practice with.
- If doing this as a group feel free to 'practice' on each other, if doing this solo you may say you are using a random NPC to test things on!
- Roll 1d6 and match your responses below.
- Please roll twice! So do two of them below. (If you roll the same number feel free to re-roll)

  • 1: Fake Bandages! Using some clean socks, pretend to be bandaging up a part of your 'patients' body that might have been wounded. Use clips to clip the socks in place.
  • 2: Using a bottle filled with water from the tap, pretend you are cleaning a wound! Remember you would never actually use the trainted water on a real wound, but this is pretend. In a real situation you would use isopropyl alcohol or something like it.
  • 3: Taking a needle and thread, sew up a hole in the provided tattered clothing. Not only does this show how to make-shift sew a wound, it also patches some clothing holes! Yay for being useful!!
  • 4: On a table is an actual knife. They ask you to take the knife and cut up some of the canned peaches nearby. Why? They state it's another practice but i think they actually just need help with food prep.... Handling the knife comes with a warning of 'If you cut yourself you sew yourself up.'
  • 5: Another station leads towards the earlier metal table with the surgical equipment, there is a note on top that says 'DO NOT TOUCH.' Oh, Ok. Easiest example ever!
  • 6: As a lesson in maintaining a healthy environment, they make you clean down the entire room.


Rewards:
- This quest is considered complete once every player inside has rolled all the times and made the minimal 300 word count each!
- For Course Credits: Take the very first number and the very last number you rolled in this thread and add them together. If its an even number, divide it by two and thats how many points you get. If its an odd number, add +1 and then divide by two.
- Example: I rolled a 2 and a 4. 2+4 = 6. 6 / 2 = i earned 3 credits for this quest.
- Example 2: 1 rolled a 1 and a 2. 1+2=3. Oops! Odd number! So add a 1 to make it an even number. 3+1=4. 4 / 2 = I earned 2 credits for this quest.
- Max credits possible to earn in this quest is 6.
- The numbers you add are your personal numbers, meaning YOU rolled them. If you have multiple people in a thread, they use their own first and last numbers they personally rolled.

((sorry, wrong dice! I was looking at wrong quest ~.~))

His hope was, frankly, for an ice pack. The throbbing of his jaw the only thing in the world he could even think about, most of the time: a hot pulse under his skin, a spark behind his eyes, a tension that certainly didn't leave him inclined to open his mouth. This task seemed the most likely to let him pocket something useful, or something to take the edge off, or even just something he could flat up sell.

Of course, somehow he'd forgotten how many people were around, how many eyes would be on him while he worked. From the moment he stepped in, he was surrounding by people at their tasks, and he lacked the clever dexterity to sneakily grab something off a rack -- so, with a sigh, he just set to his task.

He'd been here once already, and had already done a bit of exploring -- but there was a time limit, he thought, of how long Austin had to be there before people would notice he had, would give him credit for it, would acknowledge his help and his participation. Standing around doing nothing probably wouldn't cut it, would just be more in the way than anything else...

So. He blew out a sigh before, slowly, finding a task that would make him look busy for a long time. He got on the scale, checked his weight [winced at the loss] and got off it. He checked his height, pleased enough about that one, doctored his notes so that he was about an inch taller -- but still not quite six feet.

Objects went on the scale, mostly for his amusement. He drew it out as long as he could before someone noticed him and, brusquely, gestured him along to the next task.

The woman wasn't impressed by the wounded look he gave her as she hauled him along, nor was she convinced that he'd actually been doing anything useful before he she came along. Pointedly, she shoved a needle and thread into his hand, along with a torn coat -- and she raised her eyebrows at him, meaningfully.

"I don't know if you can sew. Needle goes in, out, around, repeat. Keep at it until you close the tear, here, got it?"

He wanted to argue at her, any attempt at flirting long gone, but it was far too difficult -- so instead he just glared and sat to get to it. He was terrible at it, his stitches heavy and uneven, and so it would take him an obnoxious amount of time to finally close up the tear. And no, Austin didn't at least have the satisfaction of a job well done. He sat, and looked moody, until someone pushed him along to the next task.

This task, at least, he had some small familiarity with -- after all, he messed around with one of the school's star soccer players for months. In that time, there had been a fair share of aches and pains, injured limbs that needed to be trussed up. He knew how to work with an ace bandage, understood the basics behind those little metal clips.

So he wrapped the bandage around the sock, secured it, and tossed it aside. As far as he was concerned, task complete. And maybe he could grab a couple of aspirin out of a cracked cabinet on his way out.
