She tells the others what she sees.
Velden strongly councils against anything other than 'hard' on the mission board.
Once the spoils the former mayor had are locked up, Velden counts out a third of it and splits it up amongst the townfolks and the newcomers. The rest he locks up in the safe again (after putting in a new combination) and calls Annara and Claptrap to the side.
"Ok, so, can you put together a list of people, their skills, and who we can buy things from? I'd like to see about getting some building supplies to repair the buildings in town so everyone has a place to live." He asks the replicant, figuring she's got a spreadsheet in her head somewhere to keep track of that kind of stuff. "Claptrap, you know the area around here. You can help her with that, right? Maybe we can fit a cleaning and polishing into the budget for you. If things go well, maybe even a new paintjob. I think you'd look good green, or maybe blue."
Velden will go along on any 'hard' missions they want to try, if no-one objects. Otherwise, he'll see what he can do about building a chapel instead.
Taunk hesitates to accept the Fyrestone mission now, finally understanding the implications of the orange triangle. Instead he takes a look at the "We Be Goblins" bounty. He had no love for the creatures but they did have a tendency to hoard random gadgets. If he wanted to find tools; that was his best bet right now.
"What if I just push all the buttons? Do I gotta do these jobs in order or somethin'? Cuz gobbos and bandits both could stand a killin', who cares which ones first right?"
Sledj will go along with any mission, he is bored, looking for cash/meat, and would really relish being paid to kill something for once.
I follow most peoples actions leading me to the bounty board.
I play with the board some before selecting the area bounties.
I wait for the others at the front gate.
Claptrap responds to Veldens summons with And what might your mighty lordship desire of me?
Then, when he finds out what he has to do he seems thrilled. Someone needs me!!!
Why yes, your Mightieness! You can buy ammo from the machine over yonder, or even sharpen your weapon there! You can get healin from our resident Stitches, and he even has a promotion going on! The first detached limb is free! I wonder what that feels like?
I am pretty sure Gabe might have something to sell you, if you pester her enough. And if you ever need something fixed you can always find me in my mighty shop on the west over there, and you don't even have to pay me!
Next, Claptrap will whizz over to his shed and start to write up a questionare for everyone.
Looks at Claptrap making list and smiles at Velden.
"Ok-Ke-Do-ke Boss, Ok boss Ill work with Tinman get a list of tangible intangible assets that are at our disposable, local information, General and specialised, Stuff, as well as believes and moral state and well being of the populous, its Always good to know what the masses known and want."
She says this last part as if its from a speech, then heads of chat with others.
"I'm strong, I can do some magics, mostly healing,and my eyes, ears, and nose are all sharper than a human or elf's," the large fox at his side barks twice and pats the groud with one of his front paws "oh and balto wants me to tell you that he eats eats things, which makes him an asset"
"Good Fox, Balto! Sledj eats things too! That's a great resource amiright?"
Sledj roars with laughter at his own (bad) joke.
"But I c'n cook, and make drinks that do stuff, and bombs! Don't we need more bombs fer this place?"
Barbeck McCarmeck, the dwarf, does not run a shop where you can necessarily buy anything but has many different tools and objects in his 'shop'.
There is no communal food storage. The Cobblers have enough scag meat for the next few days but they are rationing it right now to last the week. The mayor's house has a well equipped kitchen with enough food for about two months for one person.
Building supplies? There is plenty of scrap around, but if you want something other than scrap metal let me know. There is plenty of stone but it will be grueling work to make bricks of it.
Five waves goodbye to the dwarf, and exits out the ground level door saying, "Don't get into too much trouble."
He moves out and goes to Aannra, "So sticking around with Velden I guess? If you need my help you know how to get a hold of me. I am going to head back out to Rebirth. It appears no applicants came this way."
Velden looks at Five. "Come back when the town's not about to starve to death, we'll talk. Still not thrilled about that last thing I worked for you on. Lot of good people died due to a lack of up front information."
Then he turns to Annaara and Claptrap. "The mayor's house has enough food for one person for 2 months. Divide it up amongst everyone, make sure they stay on short rations until we get some more scag meat." He clears his throat, and bangs on the wall. "Alright everyone, we have food enough for everyone for a half a week or so. We need to sort out the food situation first. I suggest a skag hunt to get some raw meat in. There's a bounty for that anyway, so we can kill two birds with one stone."
Velden turns to claptrap. "Tin, we need to work on hydroponics. See what you can find tonight in the scrap yard in the way of piping and tubing. Check the wreckage outside as well." Velden turns back to the group. "I also suggest before we go skag hunting, we salvage everything we can off the blown up transport and crashed buggies."
Five shrugs at Velden, "It is not my fault that they did not ask and did not scout out the area. They never asked for my advice."
Then he says a few things under his voice, forgetting that Velden as wonderful hearing.
As the group heads out to hunt scags a process is quickly made. Using Velden and those with range to draw in the scags, killing half before they get to the group then the melee oriented of the group finish off the scags. The scags in this region are fairly weak and none are elemental based.
Everything in the piles of wreckage outside is looked through and anything that looks like it is not totally destroyed brought into the town. Plenty of scrap metal but not much else.
perception
Refering to the buggy he and Claptrap brought in earlier, Taunk says "That one's mine, I'm claimin' salvage rights on it."
"Hey! I found a whacking stick what glows green, and some wire coil things too! Robo-guy, mebbe you can use these things."
"Yes, but I doubt your latest source is much better..." Velden says mildly, reminding the man of his better hearing.
---------------------------
On the Skag Hunt, you saw a few interesting things.
Ethos is of very few words but he seems to be able to communicate with Aannra with some other source of ability.
Some strange marks are on the wall next to one of the skag dens. Likely Eridian.
One of the sliced in half scags appears to have swallowed a few round objects. Upon closer inspection you find some bullets used for slings, an adamantium one that is magical, several metal ones that are magical, and a few silver ones.
On the salvage
You find many useful items that appear slighty damaged but easily fixed with a mending spell: A purple short sword, a blue dagger, a blue scimitar, a flashing throwing axe, a shield generator which can be activated 3/day to give the spell shield, and a circlet of persuasion.
A whole slew of items for salvage parts, equaling 1,200 gp. The last thing you find is a tablet. Once you turn it on, you see it is a dossier of the passengers on the flight, including the unscheduled drop of the cargo, and the secret compartment with the experiment within. Payment will be sent to the pilots once the experiment is attained.
Velden gathers up the stuff he found, and puts it in the mayor's house. He also points the salvage in the area, for future use. "I think we can build up some houses out of the stuff we salvaged, and also fix some broken stuff around here."
He pulls the experiment aside for a private talk.
Later he mends all the broken stuff, and attempts to identify it.
Aannra nods and Five says shes is staying, after all y
Velden did activate her when the crashed.
"Yep Fivey staying for a while"
Then if they go hunting she shoots things at range.
Though the quick list of cargo on the flight is as follows:
Chitwick, mercenary, expendable.
Rico, Chitwick's mount and animal companion, expendable.
Velden, mercenary, expendable.
Duke Deluca, mercenary, expendable.
Taunk Ironthane, artifact joined physically to subject, disease interest, expendable.
Michel Tam, precious cargo, kitsume, expendable.
Wolf, animal companion to Michel, expendable.
Sledj, precious cargo, adjusted by different corps, expendable.
The experiment, _________, not expendable - protocols in place if a crash occurred subject would be safe.
You also gain a list of all their equipment on the flight and many of the obvious abilities of these subjects.
"Ok, all you lot from the down'd ship, and you too Tin. There was an experiment on the cargo pod, or on the shuttle. They dropped the pod, so it may be the experiment was on the ship itself, and they dropped the pod so they didn't have to deal with it. Someone paid to have something on the ship, and the rest of us were expendable. Personally, I find that highly insulting, and I personally want to have a long talk with this person, and the shuttle pilots, involving questions and arrows in various orifices, slowly pushed in. So, we need to figure out if it's still in the cargo pod, if it got out, or if someone took it from the cargo pod while we were distracted. Five, get your butt over here, you had a better view from the ridgeline. Yes, I saw you, no I didn't see any reason to wave at you at the time."
Before he can get away, once more dragged into something. He rubs his face with his right hand while walking to talking distance once more. "Yes I observed most of the fight until I drove down, there was a minute of driving before I got down though. Avoiding bandit vehicles and all. So what do you want to know Velden?"
"You see anyone taking anything from the cargo pod? Maybe one of the bandit groups? Or maybe find an interesting experiment when you were looking around?" He asks, doing his best to be diplomatic, not his strong suit. "Someone paid the pilots to drop the pod to get an experiment. I want to know who, why, where, and what their pain resistance is."
during the hunt for scags Michel mostly let's balto colect them and consequently doesn't get as many as he would if he actually tried, but when he goes through the salvage he put quite a bit of actual effort into the search.
Michel is also sure to cast purify food and drink over each one, not wanting to risk the likelihood that one or several of them were carrying some kind of disease.
"Ya know somethin' Ears? I like yet style. Mebbe when we find these guys what dropped us in the dust I kin help push them pointy bits in their squishy bits."
Sledj grins happily at the thought of hurting the bastards that strapped him in and dropped him on this rock.
"So, do we go check out the site? Mebbe find some tracks or somethin'?"
Soon hearing "experiment" again, Claptrap pipes up and addresses everyone.
Since it appears that my earlier introductions were not effective, allow me to speak Experiment is a highly lethal, but most likely harmless fleshling. He also has rocks growing out of him. Odd.
Claptrap goes out and pulls Ethos Blade into the spotlight, introducing him.
Velden looks the man over. "Oh, you're the experiment? I thought you were a local. So, you're the reason the cargo pod was put down here. I wonder... who would pay enough for pilots to crap their careers away to get you? Whoever it is, you must be valuable. That means we can expect more bounty hunters coming after you."
On the Scag hunt...
Off of one of the skags you pull a shimmering dagger from its hide.
On the salvage...
You find many useful items that appear slighty damaged but easily fixed with a mending spell: A purple kama, a blue gauntlet, a yellow glowing sling, a shield generator which can be activated 1/day to give the spell aid, and a ring of counterspells.
A whole slew of items for salvage parts, equaling 1,000 gp. The last thing you find is a class mod for bards, +1 on DCs.
"No one entered the ship except for claptrap and a few bandits. The bandits that left with stuff were summarily dissected by that one, , and claptrap. Besides that I only saw your crew leave the ship earlier." He says simply telling what he knows, he hopes that with information Velden will get off his case.
Ethos gets pulled out by claptrap and he scowls at the service bot. He simply shrugs his shoulders at Velden's comments. Hand still on sheathed blade. He looks at those gathered seeming on edge.
Velden eyes Five, and nods. "Thank you." He turns to Ethos. "Relax, I have no intention of turning you over for a bounty. Normally, I wouldn't stick my neck out to save you either. However, having someone mark me 'expendable', as they did both me and everyone but you in the cargo ship, well now, that I find highly insulting to my goddess. She's a b#*&& and a pain in the ass, but her priests are not fracking expendable." His eyes are cold and hard. "So personally, I'd like to find the skag brain and see if I can't transplant his brain with an actual skag brain, preferrably via rectal removal and insertion."
"wait, I was on the list? Let me see that..." if he is shown the registry Michel looks confused "wait, how was I on the list? How did they know my name? And my form? And I'm labeled "precious cargo"? That doesn't make any sense I snuck on at the last second. There should be no way to know prior to takeoff that I was even going to be there, and even if they learned during takeoff, how did they get my name?"
Velden hmms. "You had to book your pet on, yes? I'm guessing they did some checking when you did, and got your real name and info. Then caught you sneaking on, and added you to the manifest. I bet if you check your account, when you can, you'll find that it's been deducted the cost of a luxury ticket, plus a penalty."
"Naw I had him book himself using cash and a handwritten note... Maybe they saw me transform next door? Or had some kind of handwriting recognition dohicky, or they have some kind of divination, I don't know, though just on reaction mass required, I checked, and even put together me and balto are within what we were allowed to weigh"
"Hand written note? You did it to yourself. You left DNA on the note, they obviously ran it, and tagged you."
"they can get my DNA from a note? I thought you neaded like hair or blood or something, "
"Skin flakes, dried saliva. They can also pull finger prints off paper. If you talked while you wrote, you left spittle on the paper. If you didn't wear gloves, you left skin flakes and finger prints. Hell, even if you did wear gloves, if you bent over it you left skin flakes. Don't take a whole lot. And all that is without magic. With magic, you personally wrote the note, which means it could be used to identify you via magic. In the future, always hire someone else to type the note on a public terminal, and print it out, while you're not around. Then have them stuff it in an envelope, and give the envelope to the pet. Then nothing from you is on it."
"I shapeshifted my fingerprints to be ubrecogonizeable as me, and I didn't talk when I wrote it.. Not because I was trying to prevent spittal, but because I just don't talk when I write most of the time.. but I didn't think to prevent the rest of it though, so that's probably how they got me... with powerful magics you could still be found even with a plan as conveluted as that, but the useual plan for powerful magics is to be unworthy of note, because powerful magics are rare and have to be used to actively used... Thanks for the advice though... I wonder if I could shapeshift my DNA different... I've never tried... Not sure how I could try really...so probably no..."
Claptrap emerges once more from his workshed, carrying a stack of papers and a massive bag of meat, veggies and rations with him. He then goes and seeks out everyone individually, giving them about 4 days worth of food and a questionare.

I have a new idea for rolling. In situations like this where i could do 15 different rolls, because i dont really know what i am looking for, why dont i just roll once for each action or set of actions and then apply that to each skill.
So for:
And apply that to my perception, Appraise, Craft (Mechanics), Disable Device and K (Engineering, Explosives) modifier.
For K (Engineering) and spellcraft modifiers.
For Craft (Mechanics), K (Engineering, Explosives) and Prof (Maintainance) modifiers.
Claptrap joins in with the salvage team, but not the hunting team, and sets out looking for, well, just about anything...
While picking up anything that might be of use, loose screws, a fender that could be used as a mailbox, a car seat to replace the couch in the Cobblers house, a claw replacement for Thred the ex-Mayor... Anything. Claptrap does keep an eye out in particular for any car parts for the buggy in his shed, piping that could be used for hydroponics and of course, any tools, books, papers or anything that might explode....
When sledj calls over to Claptrap and presents him with the coil wiring and morningstar, Claptrap pulls out a small microchip and inserts it into a slot on his front
Hey! I might know exactly what that is!
Claptrap then pulls out a small gyroscope, then attaches it to the haft with a wave of his screwdriver.
As for the coils, you know... I have an idea of what i could do with that...
After that has all settled down, Claptrap returns to Radiator Ridge. He is going to be a busy robot tonight! So much to do! He better make a list... Ah screw that! There is no way im going to forget!
Ethos nods at Velden at the comment of putting out his neck for him. He shrugs at the overt use of violence.
Ethos rubs his chin at the exchange between Michel and Velden. Glad that the attention is off of him again. He slowly moves back to the gate, still within earshot of the group but he seems to like being in the shadows.
1: are you male? Yes
2: are you not male? No
3: what skill do you have, that would give us reason NOT to turn you into food for the rest of the locals? Protection. I can dismantle you and slice the living ones in half.
4: what special ability do you possess to prevent the rest of us from turning you into Scag bait? Slag assault and venom.
5: A random person is bleeding out on the floor, but he MIGHT have something of value. What do you do? Observe to see if it is a trap for a few moments, they will surive. Not a trap: Apply pressure to wound, See if the item of value is worthy of me taking, if it is of value take it in payment for saving their life. Apply dressing.
6: A scag is about to tear the incredibly Handsome Clappy apart, and you must stop it. What do you do? I must stop it? I would stop it and cut off its head. If service bot was in the scag's mouth I would aim lower at the neck of the beast.
7: What is your greatest weakness? I cannot be fully silent, yet.
8: List one amazing fact that the All-Knowing-Clappy doesnt for a bonus Copper! Doesn't? Please rephrase the question to be logical.
Adjustments for Velden:
Ethos Blade
Male
Assassin
allergy: stupidity
1): yes
2): if I want to be
3): uh I can heal people and would be rather difficult to put me down in the attempt... Poison might work, but then the locals would also be eating it if they ate me, plus balto would be super pissed at you
4): I'm good enough at hunting to not need bait, and I'm a decent cook,
5): heal them, unless I was the one to make them start bleading out in the first place.
If I don't like them, and the thing of value is shiny I might then take it
6): mock you continually for having to be rescued from a scag,
Of course I'd rescue you anywas, but mostly I'd laugh
I'd probably eat the scag afrerwards
7: I'd say probably lazyness,
8: I could start describing tastes but you don't have a tongue, so it's difficult finding the words.
The sylvan word for robot directly translates to "clank" the onomonapeia of two pieces of metal hitting each other
9 (alergies): I sometimes get a mild rash when exposed to silver or mithril
Salvaging...
You get a bunch of parts relating to your vehicle. Likely those that others overlooked since you know what you are looking for. Many of the parts are slightly broken or appear that way. 750 gp of parts for your vehicle.
You find an elixir of fire breath, an immovable rod, and a dwarven waraxe that appears to spark each time you touch it.
1: are you male? Yes
2: are you not male? No
3: what skill do you have, that would give us reason NOT to turn you into food for the rest of the locals? I can open the gate with ease, security protocols are imprinted in my mind for the town.
4: what special ability do you possess to prevent the rest of us from turning you into Scag bait? Scags don't like me.
5: A random person is bleeding out on the floor, but he MIGHT have something of value. What do you do? Rush to their side and apply pressure, use field dressings or wait for the first aid kit, who cares what they might have?
6: A scag is about to tear the incredibly Handsome Clappy apart, and you must stop it. What do you do? Why is the service bot outside of town? He should be safe, when in doubt hack at the scag until the service bot is released.
7: What is your greatest weakness? Ummm... lack of confidence.
8: List one amazing fact that the All-Knowing-Clappy doesnt for a bonus Copper! I know how to disengage the service bot with three little words...
The cobblers leave the questionaire to finish... later...
The dwarf does not answer his door.
Thred is still out cold.
Velden kicks the claptrap in the butt as it turns around. "YOU ALREADY KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT ME AS YOU NEED TO YOU IDIOT!" Regaining his composure, he looks around at the others. "Short form request, name, gender, any allergies we need to worry about, so we don't kill you trying to help you, any skills or abilities you have that would be useful to the city. Also, if any of you know how to do a full reprogram on a claptrap, come see me as soon as possible."
1: are you male? Yes
2: are you not male? wouldn't you like to know
3: what skill do you have, that would give us reason NOT to turn you into food for the rest of the locals? Burning magic
4: what special ability do you possess to prevent the rest of us from turning you into Scag bait? Magic
5: A random person is bleeding out on the floor, but he MIGHT have something of value. What do you do? Call the doc to see to him.
6: A scag is about to tear the incredibly Handsome Clappy apart, and you must stop it. What do you do? Watch. You should know better.
7: What is your greatest weakness? what weakness?
8: List one amazing fact that the All-Knowing-Clappy doesnt for a bonus Copper! Doesn't? No.
Adjustments requested:
Five Arelian
no allergies
Magic, maps to locations of interest namely Rebirth.
You should know I can clear his memory banks but that is about it. Otherwise there is a lot of programming needed. Fine line between killer robot and service bot...
Five laughs at Velden's outburst then says, "So your experiment appears to be that one, . Anything else you want me to do before leaving?"
A hover vehicle comes over the ridge to the South West it can only be heard after hitting the steep grade of the hill. It slows down coming down the steep grade and swings over to the front gate.
