Surviving Tarkov, Session 4 - Looting and Starvation

    This session was a little bit shorter than I wanted, however there wasn't really much going on besides travel anyway. The party made a pretty stupid mistake that I didn't want to point out, as they discarded a UNTAR evacuation map, which could have possible had locations of abandoned UNTAR sites with western firearms. Overall, it was fun. This and the last post took a diabolically long time due to unfortunate circumstances.

8:46. It is sunny.

    A figure stands before Demo, extending their hand. Demo greets them, shaking it. They readjust their pack before speaking. "I am Kash. You know, Prapor's man. I'll go with you to the streets, then I will see how I feel about staying with you lot once we get back."
    Despite this new figure making a quick entrance into the group as well as them being ill prepared for combat, they take them in. After the loss of Ruslan, there was a void of manpower in the group anyways, and they hoped a new figure would fill it. He didn't talk at all about who he was... or even his last name. He was just called 'Kash' and ignored any other questions.

    As he got acquainted with the group's situation, something became apparent. They were almost out of food. Kash, despite taking Ruslan's spot in the group of Hounds, didn't bring any rations with him, to the utmost ire of the party. They decided to loot around the Town, looking for food or otherwise supplies that they could trade in for food. After that, they planned to move further north into the Cities to drop off Prapor's package.

    In the first round of looting, the group got some good supplies. A stick of RAM, a length of Paracord, a can of peaches, two canisters of peanuts, and a futuristic technical object with a label that had "#107" printed on it. In the later round, Ruslan found a bandage, as well as a set of tools and plenty of canned beef stew. During their final few buildings, they came into contact with some survivors, who were held up inside of a building. They could only hear their voices.

    The group split up to clear the area, while Kash and Dmitri kept guard at the building's door, attempting to hear their conversation. Joe and Demo finished a sweep, then returned. There were minimal peace talks before things went south, and the men inside went to go get a gun of some sort. The Hounds were sent away with a stern warning, however, in a turn of events, Dmitri managed to chat them to a point of talking without guns being pointed at them.

    They were drug dealers or buyers of some sort, however the group wasn't sure which one. They heard about four names and saw one at the door that was left unnamed, so they assumed it was five men overall. They didn't need any work done, but were willing to buy Cultist Memorabilia. The group of five also talked about Skier somewhat, although just rehashing the usual "he's a jackass snake" story that they've heard a lot so far. 

    After some talking, the Hounds asked about any nearby spots to loot. In response, the five men, who called themselves the "Party Animals", had said that the house a few paces to the south of their building is booby trapped, but there is a yellow car near it with a locked trunk of goodies.

    They maneuvered their way to the car, where Kash unlocked the trunk of the car. Inside, was an old UNTAR emergency survival kit, which had two and a half days of water and food for the party, as well as old evacuation maps and locations, which they discarded.

     The food and water was also encased in a box that made it feel extremely light, helping them carry it around. That was enough food and water to hold them over for enough time to make it to the cities to the north, where they will find the Therapist and hopefully buy stockpiles of food. 

 

What will happen next?! Will they survive the Streets of Tarkov?!  

Wait until next week to find out!
