Dialogue
Initial Cutscene
- Moose: My passion for this life is my greatest weakness. Out there on the road I found serene understanding of just what there is which is more than I could ever want. And life is too sacred to miss even one single sunrise from nursing a black eye. That said, indifference is the greatest crime. I never turned by back on decent folks in trouble. And if I learned anything in Baton Rouge, aside from damn good bourbon chicken, is was that... oh man, do I hate zombies! Yeah, I tell ya there is a real enlightenment to be found on the open road. With no witness but the CinemaScope sky. Solitude is the only real test of character. To be out there on your own is to see deep inside yourself. But soul-searching means nothing to those who don't have one. And solitude is no fortress against the walking dead. No. We need to stick together. This is a test of character forged in fire. I been tinkering with these instruments of death and I think they'll do the trick. Still need a test run though. Preferably somewhere where we don’t knock over any picket fences.

Report
Dragon
A convincing demonstration. We approve of diversified means. The Dragon cannot promise you strength in numbers. Fate decides how many we are. But, as you have shown, numbers mean nothing in the face of preparedness. Your data allows us to analyse our enemies' strengths and weaknesses. This will make us prepared. For now, we are excited by the early results of long-range fire tactics. The greatest gift is an enemy who runs toward you only to lay down and kiss your feet.
Illuminati
We're very happy with your diversity of destructive means. It allows us to track enemy responses to fire, shock, impairment, etc. The tactical advantages of combining long and short range strategies should be clear at this point. So keep mixing things up. As suspected, the draug are like fish - they can't keep out of water for long stretches of time. By blocking the sewer we've restricted a key access point into town and, hopefully, limited draug influence to a more manageable radius.
High Five
Templar
Good show! We've been able to track the effectiveness of the devices you employed. This will help us make further inquiries into the weaknesses of both draug and zombies. Hopefully it will also sharpen your tactical strategies. On a personal note, I thought the mines proved particularly effective. They exposed the single greatest weakness of our current enemies: predictability. We may not outnumber our mindless foes, but we can certainly outwit them.R. Sonnac

There are 5 tiers to this mission.
Tier 1/5
- Pick up mines from the crate next to Moose
- Wooden crate, at (193, 346)

- Pick up Moose's propane-filled bottles
- Use his wooden crate again
- Use the bottle to burn zombies
Tier 3/5
- Pick up Moose's homemade napalm

Tier 4/5
- Pick up one of Moose's IEDs
- It must be a very big box
- Attach IED to an abandoned scooter
- You can find them all over Kingsmouth. There is one down Elm Street at (255, 289), and one directly on Arkham Avenue before the church
Tier 5/5
- Pick up Moose's arsenal from his crate
- Maybe it's actually a Portable Hole

- Put down Moose's arsenal on a dry spot
- Right at entrance
- Grab some explosives from the arsenal
- Use the box

- Throw propane bottles at them by using the bottles out of your inventory
- Survive the ordeal
- This can be a rough fight if you pick it up very early in your adventuring career, you may want to take it easy, let the explosives do the work, and try not to draw too much attention
