Still waiting on Alan and Aleister to go 3rd level. 20 people? If they can also crew those boats it would make the trip easier plus you could scavenge a heap more stuff along with the armour.
Aleister will organize and help train LRRP's; Catch and begin raising ravens to serve as messenger/scouts (Speak with Animals); Help organize the beginnings of a combat medical corps. Oleander bomb production using glove boxes, to reduce risk of injury; develop a blister agent using poison oak (which is abundant in the NW) with delivery in a similar fashion as the oleander bombs (CON sv 16: else no action that round and if anything covering the body is not removed CON sv for next three rds or lose action each round clothed) so these are area of effect (withing 5' of impact) incapacitating agents. As there is not much in the way of chemical analysis anymore (?) unless on is told how to make these things they would pretty much remain a mystery.
"I always knew I'd see SoCal again," Aleister says when he hears about the expedition plans to retrieve the tac armour. "Like to sail, too; just haven't done it in quite a spell."
He will make a special sling for the dart thrower so that it hangs along his side and will not become detached unless he unfastens it (would not want to lose it by accident ye ken).
Make up a bunch of med kits.

Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
Actually, if one uses a bicycle as a cargo vehicle one can move about 50 - 60 kilos fairly easily: at the battle of Dien Bien Phu the Viet Minh moved enough materiel to supply five divisions, including heavy artillery using mainly bikes - pile stuff on them and push.
For the trip a case each (12 -24?) Bomb Mk1 (Oleander bomb), Bomb Mk2 (Poison Oak bomb) and Bomb Mk3 (Fire bomb).
As long as we take the time to cast the Disk spell regularly, we can transport 500lbs behind Thomas with no drag. 1 hour is kind of short term, though.

You come into Mission Bay near sunset on the 5th day. On the trip down the coast there was almost no light from on shore. San Diego proper is also blacked out.
As long as we take the time to cast the Disk spell regularly, we can transport 500lbs behind Thomas with no drag. 1 hour is kind of short term, though.
You take a couple of minutes each hour to refresh the disk. There is no limit on how fast it will move except how fast the caster can move.
George takes point, traveling light and in the Tac Armor, Ghillie cloak and arrow to the string. Walking about 50 yards ahead of the main party. He has a couple of his 'Mayor's Own' strung out behind him and two for more covering their backtrail. Hoping Thomas is providing air cover with his winged friend.
Over the intervening year, they've worked out a comprehensive series of hand signals, bird calls and trail markers to communicate on patrol without talking.

‘Monkeys? For chrissakes. I’ll never understand the animal lovers.’ George mumbles under his breath, amazed at how fast these things bred and feeling mildly anxious at the strange sounds.
He motions for all the scouts to look to the trees as they prowl - probably not Necessary given the cacophony, but the habit is deeply ingrained
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hearing the out-of-place noises in the heartland of the US, Thomas has Gamliel do a fly by from on high, trying to locate the cacophony. Perception 18 Continuing to cycle down the road with the group, Thomas is wary about flung feces.

You move on through the strangely changed city. No people but many ex-residents of the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park. You finally reach the Marine Base. It is deserted but at the administration building you find a notice posted "Corp families and dependants have been evacuated to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Follow the I8 east to Boulder Oaks."
'Alright folks, we could try searching the Base here, but if I know the Marines, they took anything even remotely useful and portable with them when they headed out. I say we head for the State Park.'
"It makes sense. The easiest way to defend a large group of people is with distance. By putting themselves deep within the park, they provide themselves with some protection from casual looters/Eaters. Not to mention food sources, fresh water and building materials. Let's go camping!"

OCC As Aleister was training both people and ravens he would naturally develop a close affinity with a couple of the birds, he's is a bit grouchy when it comes to people you understand; he is fond of telling folk, 'The more I get t' know people the better I like my dog', and he doesn't even have a dog.
"Does anyone know if the Marines here even knew about the tac armour prototypes? Mayhaps it was a bit of a black project?," He looks around, "by which I mean perhaps it wouldn't hurt to look around a bit and see if the place has anything to tell us about what happened here. Did everyone leave in a hurry? Does it look like an organized evacuation? Just a thought"
"Are we checking on the Maryor's daughter?" OCC If we did, did we find out anything?
In any case, he will be on the alert (as will his ravens, Ofn and Terfysgaeth - we hope).

Highly unlikely that the Marines here would know anything about the armour. The factory you are travelling to is two states over and belongs to a private security firm.
A quick look around shows that everything not cemented in place has been stripped.
You have an address for the Mayor's daughter that is in the direction you where travelling anyway.
