Longer Version:

All night, Pantalga and I wanted to find a vehicle. This was our goal and dictated our actions. Also, my role was sniper/recon (AS50 & M14) and Pantalga was designated loot-runner and heavy MG (M249). Anyway, we started near Gorka and decided to search it and its neighboring towns for a car. Striking out in Gorka, we head to Polana. As I'm checking the town, I notice a downed heli on the south-east side of Polana. Maneuvering around Mt. Dubina, I provide overwatch while Pantalga runs in and loots it (along with a random dead body he finds). Next stop is a factory not too far away. Again, I nestle down in the highest hill in the area, directly across from the factory. As I check due east, I notice a SWEET vehicle poorly hidden on a hill (http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Military_Offroad). Pantalga and I snag it, and bring it close to the factory. Pantalga successfully raids the entire thing and dumps his loot into our new portable/drivable tent that has 120 slots .

We begin to head back NW along the road through Polana toward a small gas station we noticed (due east of Gorka). We chose to drive through the woods of Mt Dubina and only after I ran ahead and scouted for bandits. After the all-clear, Pantalga moved in (sticking to the woods). Again, I provided overwatch and general zombie-watching while Pantalga made 5 trips to the gas pumps and back to the truck (thanks to our single jerry can).

Just as he's returning and placing the full jerry can into the truck inventory, I hear Pantalga panic, shouting "Another truck! Another truck!" Whereas we had played things stealthy, sticking to the woods, some survivor rolled right into the gas station (with this thing http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ural_Civilian)and parked at the pump! In no time at all, Pantalga engages with his fully auto M249. With over 600 rounds of ammo, he holds nothing back. The Survivor bailed out of the driver door (opposite us) and ducks down behind the front wheel, keeping us from getting an easy shot on him. I inform Pantalga of the targets location and immediately press "f" to highlight ma 'nade. Just as I release the grenade (slightly overthrowing it) Pantalga yells "ANOTHER vehicle approaching!" and another vehicle rolls up (this one http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/images/f/f1/S1203_van.jpg) with 2 survivors. The van rolls to a stop just as my grenade explodes, which helps change the mind of the driver... he speeds off as fast as he can. Seconds later, Pantalga spots the feet of the lone/abandoned survivor and makes a critical shot. The man crumbles into view, giving Pantalga the angle he needed. Another 5 round burst, and the fight is over. During this skirmish, we used 2 M-14 DMR mags worth of ammo (40 rounds), 1 nade, and around 100 M249 rounds. It is worth noting that Pantalga shot out the front-right tire during the firefight. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR WHAT IS COMING UP (and it was so badass to watch that heavy truck shift its weight as the tire exploded).

While the Driver of the truck is down, there are still 2 other unaccounted for. Will they return? Will the flee? There was no telling. We decide to pause a moment and take a look at the map, which provides us with HUGELY important information... the road that the van drove off on loops back directly BEHIND where we were! We could be flanked at any moment from the downward sloping hill to our 6. We decide to put eyes on all parts of the road close to us, so we choose a path through the woods due North of our location and make a bee line there. We inspect a large section of road but find nothing. Satisfied, we begin to return to our spoils (body + new truck). Just as we're coming into view of our Military truck, something in my head tells me there is something amiss... then I notice the Bright blue Ural was not where we had left it, but about 30m higher up a hill. Just as this is all clicking in my head, I see a survivor, not 50m in front of me, in plain view staring at our red truck. I panic and verify that this is not Pantalga, that we didn't get turned around somehow and he reassures me it's not. I let 3 shots fly and all 3 make contact. +1 murder. By this point, we are going nuts... the action is too much to take after so many hours of almost boredom. I run up to check his pack and about pee myself when I see the 3rd survivor 100m up the hill at my 12 oclock, lying prone with his eyes down his irons. I freeze, thanking God I'm in the ghillie... there's no other explanation for how he didn't see me. Anyway, he's also staring at our red truck, undoubtedly trying to surprise us as we return to our vehicles. He didn't even have time to react as the 7.62 DMR round broke through his glasses. Chalk another one up for me.

We scan around and finally determine that we can finally breathe. We've just beat a random encounter somehow lucked into flanking an trap set at our original vehicle. Not only that, but Pantalga's accidental shooting of the Ural's tire had prevented the bandits from retrieving their vehicle and running. Talk about luck! But lady luck wasn't done with us yet...

We immediately start digging through each player's inventory for goods, certain they will all be racing back to get revenge on us. The first 2 bodies have the usual... medical supplies, ammo, etc. The final body (the first kill, the Driver of the Ural) carried a little something special - Suppressed PP-19 + 4 mags, plus 3 blood bags, GPS, and Antibiotics. This was obviously the ring leader based on his gear. By now, we're giddy. And then I check the gear of the Ural and my jaw hits the floor. There's more stuff in there then I've ever seen at one time. Loads of guns, 11 blood bags, 10 cooked meat, 4 tires, 6 full jerry cans, the list goes on and on! We hit the mother load! That's why they wanted to evac the vehicle so bad, it was a collection of hours and hours of looting... and it is ours! But now we had to get it to safety. Plus, there's the issue with the blown out tires... oh wait! There's 4 in the inventory! We couldn't believe the luck. Once the car was in working order, we evac.

We pick a route and do our best to quickly put some distance between us and that gas station. Pantalga drives the red mil vehicle and I handle big blue. Just as our heart rates are starting to slow to normal levels, we realize our problem... the city we're headed toward, the one we HAVE to go through, has zombies in it which means someone is in it! We decide to take the risk and blow through full throttle. Pushing 50, we do our best to weave through debris fields scattered along the road. We're not half way through the town when the shooting starts... rifle and small arms fire rains down on both of us. We count 3 or 4 distinct shots and hope there's no more ahead. Despite some hull and tire damage, we make it through the town unscathed.

After all this excitement, we are simply worn out. We decide it's best to find a safe place to hide the vehicles and call it a night. Of course, we spent a few minutes taking the screenshots I link below.

All in all, this was about as good as it gets in DayZ. Hope to see you guys in game soon!

I uploaded some screenshots of the spoils!

Gratz. Savor the flavor, I'd imagine that Ural will be missed :huh: "Dude, where's my truck?"
