I think coins of various metals sounds good, maybe a barter system too. Maybe it can vary from town to town depending on what they want.

"We're running low on smokes, that's a problem." Said Milton as he jumped out of the bed of the truck, his knees bending only slightly as he landed. Sand kicked into the air and soon dissipated. For some reason it reminded him of the situation they were all in. Just sand. More and more sand, everywhere they went. The people were sandy, the cars were sandy, the houses, the food, the water. Sometimes he wondered if that's why he liked flames so much. He was a crusader in his head, washing away all the sandy, dirty bullshit that the last generations left behind.
He removed his skullcap revealing his messy unkept mop of an excuse for hair, wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed. He then reached into his hoody pocket and pulled out another cigarette and his favorite zippo lighter.
"So...we've got the money right? and we've got the mercury. So that asshole in their is no longer involved in this little equation of ours. Why don't we do a little smash'n'grab before we go?" Milton said with a cocky grin.

 

[Captain Pirate]

"I agree with milky..." Isaac said, grinning. He gripped his shotgun tightly.
"And I don't care what their making with the mercury. They'll never know it never arrived! It's not like they'll not who was gonna deliver it.. And even if they try and find us, in this world... it'll take a loooong time." He said, staring out of the town gates at the sandy wastes.
"An' when they do, I have yet to meet a living thing, I don't care how mutated, that can survive one o' these to the face." He held up his gun.
He eyed the town, thinking more and more about the smash'n'grab idea, wondering what buildings might have anything useful, valueable, or any old tech in them.
"Or hell, maybe we don't have to do some grabbing loud. Just go around and pocket a few things..."

wow you guys are vicious, we will do a little "shopping" in this store but we will do the mission. By the way the world is not a desert, that is to cliche. the only difference from now is that a lot of the changes made by people are breaking down, the dams and roads and such.

"If you guys really want to take the store I have a plan. Ace you climb on the roof and keep watch for the town guards. Mai and Milkman you stay out here too. Me, Jason, and Isaac will go in there. the second floor is probably a whorehouse and the owner will have some toughs there to protect his property. Jason you go in and find the stairs, I think I saw them on the right wall. You wait at the bottom and make sure nobody comes from there me and Isaac will go back to the guy behind the counter. We all have to be very cool when we do this. When we get to the back I will say we forgot and want to buy something, then once we get close enough Isaac you take him with your shot gun, that ought to take him out quick. we then go meet Jason by the stairs and go up and take out anybody we see up there. the entrance to the back will probably be somewhere up there. we grab ammo and money and get out. hopefully before the guards show up. Any problems with this plan?" Ian looked around at his crew as he adjusted his breast plate.

 

[Pandalisk]

Mai raised her hand slowly and began to speak in a shakey voice

"B-b-but they dont deserve it..T-t-they haven't done anything T-to us.."

 

[Captain Pirate]

<spoiler=OOC> Ok. Well, how about dirty then? Since there'd be no cleaning and all.. lots of mud everywhere perhaps? [/spoiler]
Isaac grinned at his boss' plan, clealy eager for some bloodsport.
"Sounds great to me." He said. He emptied his shotgun, rubbed the shells for a final clean just in case, then reloaded, clicking the safety off.
He turned to Mai. "So? We live in one fuckin' violent hellhole if you ask me. If you don't kill someone, someone else will. Anyway, I love me a bit o' lootin'" He said, imitating a cliché cowboy accent for the last sentence.
He waved his head at Jason as he jumped out of the back of the van, urging him to come out with him and Ian.
"Hang about. My shotty's pretty loud, boss, we don't keep silencers do we? Or are we going loud and quick. Either's fine by me, was just sayin'."

 

[the Tadman]

"Honestly, don't you guys think we have enough people wanting us to get skinned alive? I mean 3 towns, 2 gangs, 2 mercenary groups are all trying to ki-" Ace stopped talking since he noticed no one was paying attention.
"Oh forget it.." Ace mumble to himself as he quickly, in a few steps got on top of the van.

 

[Captain Pirate]

"Only three towns? I coulda sworn it was seven..." Isaac half-joked, watching Ace prepare to climb the building.

 

[KipKommander]

"I agree with Isaac" Milton said as he turned to Isaac, then to Ian.
"Are you sure boomstickin' the owner is such a good idea? I think cloak and dagger might be the best approach. Take him out with a knife if you can." Milton made stabbing motions reminiscent of Psycho. "Anyway, we'll do it however you call it Ian, just holler if you need something blown to hell."

 

[the Tadman]

Building in front, rifle in back, Ace began climbing the building. The building itself was poorly made, the bricks were amazingly spacious and very easy to climb, as if it was a ladder. Before he knew it he had already made it to the top, without breaking a sweat.
"'Kay guys I'm ready!"

 

[DragonofDecay86]

Jason nodded, drawing his duel pistols and walking inside the building. He kept them hidden inside his cloak until it was necessary to show them. He found the stairs easily, leaning up against the wall opposite the wall and waiting for something to happen.

Ian turned to Mai, "Well I am doing it because my crew seems to be taken with bloodlust and who am I to deny them. While he may not have done anything to us I assure you they deserve this, we are not dealing with nice people here. Milton we can't use a knife because he has a cage just for that possibility." Ian went into the pawn shop with Jason and Isaac. As Jason went off to the base of the stairs Ian and Isaac moved to the back. getting through the labyrinth of junk was easier the second time. As he and Isaac got back to the man in the cage the man looked up from a ratty old mag.
"What er you doin back here?"
"I for got that I wanted to buy something from you."

 

[Captain Pirate]

Isaac looked at the shop owner.
"Do you take buckshot?" He asked casually, raising his shotgun.
"What're ye... oh go-" The man started, looking at he aimed shotgun.
Isaac grinned, pulling the trigger.
A loud 'boom' sounded as the man exploded with blood and was launched back onto the floor, dead.
"Ok, done." Isaac said, reloading. He jumped over the counter and went to open the cash register first.

 

[the Tadman]

Looking around him, Ace saw nothing, but a drunk guard stumbling around, barely standing up. Bang, a sound was heard from inside the building, Ace couldn't help but chuckle from the possibility. Out of nowhere a six man union began running towards them, guns in hand.
"We got a problem! Six tangos moving fast!"

 

[Captain Pirate]

Isaac stopped at the open cash register, looking up at Ace's call.
He laughed, running to the front door then crouching next to it, ready to jump out in ambush when they came in.
"I got the front door on guard, boss. They can't have too many guards in a small town like this, this is probably the whole damn defense force.." He chuckled.
"Six guys, 8 shells.." He said, glancing at his shotgun.
"Hey, I got two spare! How well are they armed, Ace?!" He shouted up to the sniper.

Captain Pirate you have not jumped over the counter there is a cage in front of it to protect it we will go upstairs and go in through a back entrance. ta2ce please don't make enemies yourself i was going to make some for you guys later but since you want it you got it

hearing the shotgun blast below one of the bordellos bouncers hit the alarm and immediately started down stairs. When he got there he was confronted by the waiting Jason. Ian and Isaac turned and started to go to the stairs and meet with Jason. One of the local mercenary companies having a contract with the store sent out a small force to check on the alarm. Their base was located to the west of the shop a ways down. they immediately started to move towards the shop doubletiming down the street.

Spoiler

when out of a fight things can move pretty fast but when we are in a fight things will go very slow. so just put up one action and wait for a response from me

 

[Captain Pirate]

<spoiler=OOC> Oh, ok. Ignore my last post then. [/spoiler]
Isaac followed up the stairs, then stopped halfway, nestling himself in a kneeling position.
"I'll stop 'em coming up the stairs." He said, lifting his shotgun in wait.
"You know what type of guys we're up against here boss?" He asked.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

Jason saw the man coming down the stairs fast, he immediately pulled out his duel pistols and aimed at the man. He pulled both triggers at once, sending two bullets spinning towards the man.

 

[KipKommander]

Milton sprung to his feet at the sound of gunfire followed by an alarm. "Things are about to get hairy..." He thought to himself as he knelt down next to the .50 caliber in the trucks cab. There he waited, looking up and down the street, eyeing each alleyway, waiting for a contact so he could cut them down. "You may want to get ready Mai, this could get ugly." He said, half laughing, as a sinister grin crept across his face.

Spoiler: OOC

My apologies, won't happen again.

Ace noticed a guard lagging behind, seizing the opertunity, he shot him, tilting his rifle towards the man's head.

 

[the fifth]

Jason hit the man in the arm with one shot while the other missed completely. The guard shot back with his pistol barely missing Jason. As Isaac moved towards the stairs he tripped on some junk on the ground and sprawled on the floor. Getting back up he continued to move towards the stairs with Ian right behind him. Ace hit the mercenary in the chest dropping him. The other mercenaries immediately ducked into cover.
