BEYOND THE BARRICADES
At Clearview it is customary to keep the doors and windows of unused apartments barricaded against outside threats. Sometimes these barricades fall, sometimes they just get... moved. Either way, they need to be checked on and strengthened regularly.
Step One - Choose a Material
There are all sorts of scavenged bits of metal and wood strewn around the complex. Your first job is to gather them up and bring them where they need to be.

Roll 1d8 to see which material you will be using.

  1. sheet metal
  2. bed frames
  3. random wood
  4. mysterious chests full of documents
  5. plastic laundry bins
  6. desks
  7. chairs
  8. bookcases

If completing this quest in a group, each person should roll for their own material.

Step Two - Barricade!
Once you have chosen a material, it's time to get barricading! Roll 1d20 per post until you have rolled a cumulative 30 in Barricade Effectiveness Points(tm).

If you are completing this quest in a group, you may add all of your rolls together for Step Two.

If you complete this quest and write over 200 words, Zelda will reward you with two cocktail umbrellas the next time she sees you! Please claim them in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located here.

There were more and more ways of being helpful around the Clearview complex these days, one of them being reinforcing the barricades. It made sense, of course, to have securely boarded up windows and such to make sure that nothing could push its way into their building. Granted, it was highly doubtful and undying would ever find a way to crash into the 22nd floor penthouse, but it was always better safe than sorry in these situations. So there she was, getting ready to add on to the plethora of material already being used to keep an 18th floor apartment safe and secure.

At her immediately disposal, curiously enough in the very apartment she'd decided to secure, was a whole lot of sheet metal. And she'd brought along her own nails and hammer, so she started getting to work.

Luckily the windows were already pretty well boarded-up, she just needed to add an extra, extra, extra layer for a good level of security. The living room only had one giant window, so she worked on adding a layer of sheet metal to the material there first before slinking off the small window in the bathroom, which she boarded up as well. There was really no telling how flexible these undying were, right?

Moving on...

Of course, while she was boarding up the windows in the bedroom she heard a clang from the bathroom. It startled her and she dropped her hammer, which landed with a resounding thud on the wooden floors and narrowly missed her foot.

"Dang..." she muttered before wandering away to see what had happened. The piece she'd used in the bathroom had fallen for some odd reason--she couldn't tell and she honestly didn't want to know--so she worked it back into the wall before going back to the bedroom.

The bedroom was almost entirely wide open to attack, though, again, how any undying would manage to climb to the 18th floor and attack them from there was beyond her. She didn't question the idea of being beyond secure though, and she hammered away until she'd exhausted the supply of sheet metal in the room. It hadn't been all that many, just enough for all the windows actually, which was nice and...convenient. Maybe someone had just forgotten to get this job done?

She hefted her hammer and walked right on out once her job was done. Time for a nap, and a well-deserved one at that.
