Prelude (Finale) - Fort Ohm...Gearing up.

As you approach the Training Grounds and get a closer look, you notice it is the southwestern corner of Fort Ohm. It's about 100 yards long by 50 yards wide, mostly comprised of dirt with various obstacles and what you could call, "targets" and various training dummies. You might also note that not far from the training grounds are the stables. The area is somewhat blocked off by large logs laid on their sides, to provide a sort of perimeter from the rest of the fort's interior.

Standing at what could be deemed the "front" of the Training Grounds is the First Sergeant. "Well, I reckon it's time to see what ya'll can do. And, if I can send ya out without worryin' bout' you not lastin' 10 seconds. I see ya got your gear, and now I'm gone see if ya can follow some orders and do some simple soldierin'."

Another gentleman approaches from the rear. A taller man with a receding hairline, but has a somewhat distinguished look and wears some very nice spectacles. The First Sergeant goes on, "But before we do, I'm gone get Dr. Calvin here to tell ya what he knows about those damn walking tin cans. They're all your's doc."Dr. (Master) Calvin steps up, "Greetings, to some of you, again. Those I have not personally spoken to, hello and I hope the gear that some of you have acquired serves you well in the field! I think the first thing you must know is that the robots, as far as our experience has taught us, are impervious to normal ammunition. Hence, the cast-iron armor-piercing rounds you will need, in the unfortunate chance you run into one of them. The next thing is that there is more than one type of them out there. Thus far we have briefly studied and identified four, but we have heard of as many as 10 varieties. Each one of them has unique capabilities, so far as our resources show, and it is crucial for you to act accordingly and with the knowledge of those abilities. The four we know about are these..." He passes around a flyer, much in the style of a Wanted poster.He proceeds, "Familiarize yourself with these four. I'll be happy to answer any questions after you've looked these over."

Dr. Calvin addresses Eskaton's question, "Some have been known to penetrate such armors. Especially the likes of the one we've dubbed Los Diablos. Granted it would have to be a solid strike upon you."

Dr. Calvin says, "You would assume correctly Mr. Colter." He points in a direction just north of the stables. You see a small stone building with a wooden door and a decent amount of smoke coming out of the chimney. Beside the building is a lean-to with various tools and equipment sitting under it. "You'll want to speak to Mr. Deitrich Godwin. He will take care of your requests."

The First Sergeant steps up, "That'll be enough Doc (Calvin). If you all need somethin' with him see him after our little show and tell. Now, I need to make sure of two things. One, that you can shoot...or at least shoot enough to hit something you mean to hit. Two, that you can ride a horse without breaking your neck. If you can do those two things you're fit to volunteer for this outfit. If not, well, you might need to take your arse back as far east as you can go."

He leads you all over to what would be considered the shooting range with some simple targets out front. "Simple, squeeze off a round and successfully shoot the target."

"Now, who's up first?"
