Explosions and deaths are great here
There is a place with super mutants that Arghrash had heard about recently, it is open style on the outside which means you could shoot from far and lure them out to their death. He decided to give it the old crack and see what he could do.. well after a sneak attack rifle shot from far they started coming his way, one of them firing missiles but being too far away to hit him.
"Damn lucky those missiles are missing or it would certainly be death!"
As one got close to the truck being used for elevation, a molotov was thrown to damage the nearby Super Mutant before shooting and killing it off.
But the next one had gotten into a hiding place which meant getting off the truck to kill it. Unfortunately after doing so, a Mutant Hound ripped into Arghrash and mauling him to death for a brutal finish at this attempt.
When he went back to have another attempt at victory against the super mutants it saw exploding the Mutant Suicider sooner this time, allowing movement to a different location to lure one to a more tactical position.. though this did not go as expected when Arghrash threw the molotov cocktail, crippling him causing almost instant death from the explosion.
While the Stimpak and food were working to heal him up, he pumped the bullets and shells into the next super mutant and luckily was able to kill it, followed by running away to rest up with the small bits of loot and experience gained.
"I think I will avoid that area again because I am likely to die, rather move on to Lexington again and that parking garage I saw to look for more loot" Arghrash said before making his way over to Lexington, proceeding to move into the parking garage.
This was a tough start as there were Feral Ghoul Roamers which are tougher than the normal ones he has fought before, the rushed him and showed their power, defeating our madman with ease while taking damage.
In a second attempt with some knowledge of what to expect so far, Arghrash lured them to the car so he could molotov them instead which led to another mishap but not so bad this time.
After finishing the Ghouls off, the loot was quite bountiful with things like ammo and caps, drugs like buffouts for the boost and more which made this a worthwhile trip!
The base got a small expansion with the fencing pushed out toward the trees to allow growth of some Mutfruits for an additional food source. wouldn't be too much more to get going in this small setup except maybe another turret and maybe a small structure to properly use as a house, the plan though is to eventually maybe use this as storage and a waypoint that a few wandering people can call home, after establishing a bigger base for himself.
"Looks to be coming along well for an outpost safe spot to settle at, but the looting and killing won't be in my favour if I don't get back out there."
With another level up point gained and a set choice on what to get, the Lone Wanderer perk would have to wait another level.
It is something needing three points of Charisma which is not quite possible although it will be a welcome gain when having the decrease to damage taken, plus being able to carry more!
At least getting the extra Charisma point is going to ensure slightly better prices with vendors and merchants, including the ability to persuade people easier.
The rest of the day and the night was a little dull with the main highlight being fighting some bloatflies that were pesky in their movements but easy enough to kill off.
"Now it is a new day once more and I can see easily, let me check out this small building in front of that garbage mound" thought Arghrash before getting into a fight with lots of Molerats, after killing a few off.
Lots of meat for cooking luckily, the garbage mound also had some loot including more pistol rounds, the weaker .38 rounds for the pipe rifle and a frag grenade and mine to hold for special cases of use.
"Shit! That was close" shouted Arghrash as he narrowly dodges a Radscorpion which had burrowed underground, rising inside the shack he was checking out.
Luckily though, it was stuck there with its left pincer caught on some mesh inside. So our lone madman threw a molotov cocktail, then started to lay the bullets into the Radscorpion, slowly but surely killing this tough bastard off and claiming some bigger and extra meat for later.
With that he called is rest time in this shack as there was a mattress to lay down on, getting 4 hours of shut eye while hoping to not be disturbed so he could get some energy back.
This was Lone Madman in the Apocalypse - Surviving the Fallout 4 Wasteland - Part four. Be sure to stay tuned to see what crazy things happen next and how Arghrash goes with surviving.
