Totally-OT, But I Need the Help

[natehale1971]

One of the things about Post-Apoc gaming... I use to freak out my GM by finding animal hostpials to get to, and 'salvage' (the nice way to say LOOT) the meds, and medical equipment. In a zomibe post apoc campaign one of the other PCs was really badily injuried and needed sugery. The party was going to try and get into a hospital that had been overrun early on by the zombies and you could see the gleam in the GM's eye for the TPK that they were about to get into.

And My character (the new PC who was a US Army national guard infantry squad leader who had manned a roadblock for one of the quarantine zones, and in his civilian life worked as a security guard) said... "STOP, are you crazy? That place is crawling with more zombies than we have bullets, even if we stop by the damn armoury first. Let's find an animal hospital... it's got all the same equipment and medinces. And it sure as hell wasn't the place people infected with RV (reanimate virsus) would go to for help."

Needless to say the GM wasn't pleased that he didn't get his TPK... but the other Players (and PCs) were very thankful to my (and my character's) quick thinking.

the animal hospitals that deal with large animals like thourobred horses is usally the best... or those where rich people have large dogs. beause you will find CAT Scans and MRI machines in those kinds of areas. In fact there are three Animal Hospitals around me right now that has everything you'd find in a hospital.... one of them actually has a full lab set up, while the other two normally sends samples to a big lab when necessary.
