For those of us who aren't stalking the meeting like it's catnip for whatever reason, the following is a summary of what has been discussed in the First Great Council of Norfinbury:

Firstly, any character may use their tablet to call in to the meeting. Angel's tablet is one of the ones used to share the meeting, so while it isn't being publicly broadcast it is available via conference call with Angel (and others, but I'm not sure who).

Subjects Discussed:

• SUPPLY ROUTES

• HOME BASE

• CURRENT MISSIONS

• CABIN FEVER

• MONSTER RELATIONS

• AUTOPSIES IN PROGRESS

• NORFINBURY V HANDSOME JACK

Proposed supply routes

[giant_killer]

Food sources:
75 (convenience store)
30 (school)

Rest stops:
28 (greenhouse)
34 (hot water house/clinic)
130 (pharmacy)

28 to 75 for food: 6 days, stops at 20, 22/18, 74
34 to 30 for food: 2 days, stop at 29
34 to 130 for med supplies: 4 days, stops at 50/58, 130

28 and 34 are close enough to exchange supplies as often as twice a day in bad weather.

So Clayton didn't propose this in writing and it would require some collaboration from parties more familiar with residential district 2 (something I'm happy with handwaving), but I have a possible route!

See yonder map; it takes the long way around but accounts for ease of travel/important supply points (medical). The red line is the path the supplier would take--red dots are places where they would stay overnight--yellow dots are food/med collection points--blue dots are water collection points--and black dots are supply drop-off points. The average available travel time through these districts is five squares, so the proposed path uses that metric and would obviously be traveled faster/slower depending on the weather.

Here's the exact route in numbers, since the picture isn't totally clear about what squares are traveled:

START: G6 (29)
Day 1 - G6 (29) -> H5 (30, ration resupply) -> G6 -> F6 -> E6 (34, water resupply, supply dropoff)
Day 2 - E6 (34) -> E7 -> E8 -> E9 -> E10 (50, supply dropoff)
Day 3 - E10 (50) -> D11 (58, supply dropoff, medical resupply) -> E11 -> F11 -> G10 (53, water resupply)
Day 4 - G10 (53) -> H11 -> I11 -> J11 (60, supply dropoff) -> K11 (56, water resupply)
Day 5 - K11 (56) -> L11 -> M11 -> N11 -> O11 -> P10 (110, supply dropoff, water resupply)
Day 6 - P10 (110) -> P9 -> P8 -> P7 -> P6 -> O5 (92, supply dropoff)
Day 7 - O5 (92) -> P4 -> P3 (75, water resupply, ration resupply) -> P4 -> O5 (92)

I'm...pretty sure this route is legal. Can be adjusted if I've made any mistakes or if there's a cleaner way to run it. The idea is that the wall is easy to follow and there are clear landmarks that can be used to find both ration resupply areas and the tunnels; as long as people are directed to follow the southern wall, they can find plenty of food, water, meds, etc. along the way, and hopefully get to where they need to be from there. The medical resupply in D11 also requires a second, tunnel-based supply route to keep it stocked--food/water is stored in 58 to keep whoever runs that route healthy, meds and any other special goods are traded to the outside. Route also requires that someone travel with an excess of rations, which ICly Clayton can offer to trade backpacks with someone and give them room for 23 days' worth. I did the math, that's more than enough to leave several per supply dropoff and still have enough to feed the runner during the trip.
