It's not made easier on the group with him getting up and just leaving yes, without even waiting for the rest of the conversation to take place... :-(<br/><br/>I mostly wanted to go to the armoury since it offered a good/ logical opportunity to get guns and ammo, but there are other places where we can get those as well. The armoury would give an opportunity for Caitlin to get some practice with firing a gun as well, so she can at least get her skill up to average, after she received some pointers from Chris, Kate or Todd.<br/><br/>Given the way the post is currently going I'm not sure anymore how much sense it still makes that the rest follows Chris. It's not something I would want to force on the characters since I value realism highly too.<br/><br/>Caitlin would still want to go because of the guns and ammo that she can get, in the back of her mind she assumes that Zeke is already dead, but she's more concerned about her future well-being, then about the current, somewhat safe, stalemate without weapons. If we want our characters to survive on the long term then we're definitely going to need more weapons and ammo, so we'll need to get them from somewhere.<br/><br/>I also think that it's possible that they come up with a good plan to get back in the police station, they can get a strong vehicle to drive in as far as possible, or possible find some way to climb the walls on the outside of the building, or even do something as simple as taking the front door or a side entrance. Not all entrances have to be overrun. It could even be that there is a maintanance entrance through the sewer system or something.<br/><br/>With careful planning it doesn't have to be a suicide mission, but it's something that every character for himself will have to decide whether they want to join in or not.<br/><br/>For the overall story progression it shouldn't matter whether they go there or not, since this was unplanned anyway. I do hope that Chris will stay with the group though, because his skills will be needed later on in the story and else I, or somebody else, will have to add a new character that will fill his role.<br/><br/>I suppose what it really comes down to right now is what Sidonis wants? Do you want to write your character out of the main story or do you want to keep him in?<br/><br/><br/>tldr; I think it's a good thing to play out the choice, it's a dilemma our characters face in the story and overcoming dilemma's is what makes a good story. Our conflict here proves as much too. :-)<br/>(Though let's keep things civil.) ;)
