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.
sheet metal bed frames random wood mysterious chests full of documents plastic laundry bins desks chairs 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 locatedhere.

Mel had spotted the unfortified barricade on the 11th floor and decided to try and be of some help, at least for a little while. She double checked it and found that it easily fell away with a simple push, and considering she had little to no muscle it was hard to believe it'd keep out a very determined undying (assuming they could climb to the 14th floor of the complex). Resolving to fix this problem, she began to search for something she could use to help make it a bit more solid and actually useful as a barricade.
She was in luck, as in just one room over she found a set of heavy chests and all she had to do was drag them over a number of feet. Of course, as with most anything in the world, it was easier said than done.

Her first several attempts proves useful, as she'd only managed to get one of the chests to budge about two feet and was already breathing heavily. It wasn't that she was out of shape, it was just that they were heavy. Upon inspection she realized that the one she'd been working to push was full of nothing but papers. A seemingly endless amount, unorganized and just all over the place. She picked one up, scrunching up her brows as she tried to read the text without success.
Either it was in a foreign language or an entirely made-up one, but she gave up after barely a minute, replaced the one sheet and closed the chest. After checking the others she found much of the same, so her choices were either to find something else or keep pushing.
Of course, she chose to keep pushing. It took a while but she managed to get one into the other room and against the barricade.
"One down, how many more to go?" she mused allowed as she headed back into the other room for the next chest.

The next one was just as difficult as the last, but at least she was expecting it this time so she didn't stop to wonder what in the heck was going on. Instead she trudged forward, pushing for a while and resting for a minute before going at it again. It took a while, longer than the last time because she was so winded, but soon enough it was in place and she double-checked the barricade to make sure it could hold up against a push from little ol' her.
When it did, she promptly left for a break in the lounge. She needed it, and decided to maybe call in some reinforcements next time.
