William Davis

Page history last edited by Michael 7 years, 3 months ago

Bill's equipment as he arrived on Corfu in 1932:

nice Hyborian clothes and boots
a container of about 720 doses of Agent White, and one possible antidote pill
a bunch of gemstones (some dating back to Hamilcar's Refuge), a little gold and a few silver pieces
a Hyborian (says "Lizard-sword" on my sheet) saber-y? sword and local main gauche
an ebony knife (not sure from where, or if it survived the Flames of Fury) -- is that the snake-men knife?
perhaps his Shanghai Knife (if it survived the Flames of Fury)
StG44 rifle and one loaded magazine

empty weight 10 pounds; weight of one loaded magazine 1.5 pounds
30 rounds of 7.92x33mm Kurz ammunition in the magazine -- though of course the ammunition name won't be known to Bill Davis. The ammunition case is a shortened, tapered version of the standard 7.92mm German rifle round; the bullet is lighter, and the propellant charge is different in composition and roughly half as heavy. Headstamps on actual WW2 rounds would be for example "OXO-St 5-45" (the 5-45 part is the production lot and year, and historically ran from 1938 to 1945 -- mostly from 1943 onwards). OXO is the factory code for Teuto-Metallwerke GmbH, Osnabrueck (the code system began in 1938, though); other producers of 7.92mm Kurz had codes DE (unknown maker) and AUX (Polte-Werk, Magdeburg). "St" probably is short for "Sturm".
the weapon might be marked MP44 or StG44, depending on when it was made. Historically, there were other markings, but they're deliberately obscure, or not too informative.

curved stone knife from snake-men - he might still have this, but just as likely dumped
big gleaming black ring from snake men
one flask of "not water" from snake men
#1 lich ring: He's used it to raise a platoon of skeletons

Ken said that Bill Davis won't go out without waaay more than 100 doses of Agent White, so I've increased the amount to 1000. It's an arbitrary number in any case, since we don't know what the Mysterious Box does ...

The page history will show you the previous list, for comparison etc.

I removed the BAR and replaced it with the ZH29; Ken can use this info to create his gear list. This list has a couple of deliberate (or known) errors, which Ken should correct:
* we used "half our ammo" fighting the zombies, and then a few rounds against the Stygians, so you presumably have less rifle and pistol ammo
* I removed the double-barrel 37mm Fury gun and ammo which you had carried before, perhaps; if you wanted to carry one I'm sure Fury would approve!
* there is no mountaineering-appropriate gear on this list at the moment, you should look over the mountaineering page and decide what Bill had on the way down from Victory Peak. Presumably his gear is a combination of stuff he bailed from the plane with, and his generic "pack he left back at Karachi" which we would have brought, modified by known mountain conditions.
* if you had 100 doses of Agent White in your pack normally, you now have 18 less (one pill per day). I presume Nora is in the same bucket.
