Quote:
A treated injury no longer imposes an increase in complication range and won’t be a problem as often (a broken leg in a splint may still be a hindrance, but not as much as if the leg wasn’t splinted), but it still counts as an injury in every other sense, and complications later could cause a treated injury to worsen (as stitches tear and wounds reopen).
OOC:
Irish will still be injured, stitches will need time to heal, but he won't suffer an increase in the complicatingon range now.

"Bastard got me good, didn’t he? Bollocks. Serves me right for rushing him like that."

Irish nods and grits his teeth when Dan comes up with the plan:

"Aye… shit. A convoy."

Finishing with the wound, Sabine lifts an eyebrow when there’s talk of waiting to ambush whatever reinforcements come, and of stealing the Opel truck. "We ‘ave a mission, non? We cannot forget this."
OOC:
Them’s some kind of weird and fuzzy first aid / treatment rules…

"Yep. Awirght. You in Sister? Ready James?" Now that there was a plan, Dan was anxious to get the show on the road, literally.

"You'll be awright, Irish. We got your back."

You strip the guards of weapons, and toss the bodies in the back of the truck.

Following the encounter with the Germans Georgi becomes increasingly agitated, swearing under his breath about the Romanian leadership allowing "thugs and vandals" into his homeland. You load up into his lorry to put some distance between you and the killing zone.

He begins to push the lorry harder and faster even as the road becomes rougher, making the ride uncomfortable and jarring. After several hours, and no sign of pursuit, the road begins to climb steeply upwards and the team get a clear glimpse of the mountains rising in the distance, their tops shrouded by dark clouds.

Georgi is explaining that Deva is another thirty miles away when there is a loud crack from under the passenger side of the lorry and it begins to skid, with the rear end sliding around and threatening to tip over. Georgi fights with the wheel to bring the lorry under control. but

Those riding in the back must make an Agility + Athletics test with a difficulty of 1 or take 2 stress as you are thrown around into the piles of scrap metal.

"Easy there Georgi, I think we're clear of them. Let's slow it down before..." Oh bother.

OOC:
If you want to have stolen the Opel truck, then that's fine, include that as a done deal.

OOC:
Who is in the Opel? Dan and Irish ?

OOC:
Sure! I can go along with that! Would you like a roll from us too, DM?
"What the feck is he at up th… Shit!" Irish shouts, watching from the front seat of the vehicle behind.

OOC:
Is anyone in the rear of the original truck now, if we've also taken the Opel?
Jun 10, 2023 4:55 pm
OOC:
If you took the Opel, no there would not be anyone in the back, in danger of shifting scrap metal.

"Good thing we brought the Krautmobile with us, huh, Irish?" It is indeed fortuitous if Georgi's truck ends up undrivable.

Irish brings the German vehicle to a sudden stop, and throws open the door.

"We might be going for a walk otherwise." he responds, as he climbs out of the truck.

He crosses to the other vehicle:

"Are ye alright? Feck sake, man!"

Examining the lorry, it appears that the axle is broken. Georgi indicates that there might be parts to fix the axle in the scrap in the back.
OOC:
Do you want to stay and help him, or proceed on the mission with the Opel? He would likely need extra hands to do it, but he could also leave the lorry here and fetch help himself.
Jun 13, 2023 1:04 am
OOC:
Would we know how to find the drop-off location without him? Maybe with a map and a roll?
Jun 13, 2023 3:10 am
OOC:
You could drop him off at the village near the trailhead. But either way, he can give you reliable directions.

Irish gathers the others around in a huddle, as Georgi examines the car:

"You’ve heard what they do when a German soldier gets killed?"

Retribution…

"We leave him here and they come looking for their missing men…"

He lets the thought finish itself.

"Lets get him sorted and they go our separate ways. What do ye think?"

"Good enough Irish, he's more likely to be picked up on foot than if we get him moving again. With two trucks, we can go ahead and split up." Swann looks to Dan, "Looks like we'll be following your lead here, what do we need to get him rolling again?"
Jun 13, 2023 3:07 pm
"Agreed. We can't leave him. Let's get 'er fixed up and then we can split. Let's take a look-see in the back of the truck and figure out what we can use."

Dan heads to the back of the truck and starts rummaging around.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, good." He emerges with some tools and shimmies under the truck and slides under the broken axle.

Repairing the axle can be managed using spare parts from the back of the lorry. It is an extended Engineering + Reason test with a magnitude of 3. The three breakthroughs for the task are:
¤ Locating the correct spare parts from the piles in the back of the lorry,
¤ removing the broken section of the axle, and
¤ fitting the new parts.
It is not an easy repair and will take several hours.
Extended Tests
These are the same as combat. Consider each breakthrough to have 5 Stress, which you need to defeat in order to achieve the Breakthrough.

So there are three stress pools to beat, each with 5 Stress.
1) Skill Test : Engineering + Reason vs D1 (one success required to move to step 2)
2) Margin: roll 6d6 (base 4d6 + Dan gains +2 for Reason of 10)

Notes: Dan has spare parts in his Mechanics Tools he can spend before a roll for bonus d20s. The Mechanics Tools will also grant Piercing 1 on the Margin roll (so 5s and 6s rolled will generate bonus successes).
