Baker is going to rest (and level up Driving to D / 1d6) this shift. Does that mean he's asleep when this action goes down?

OOC:
Yeah saevikas. SS wrote that they're "walking north towards your vehicle." So they're headed towards Jedrzejow.

Estimate on how long it would take for these people to walk to Wodzislaw?
Do you want to engage with the group or try to avoid them altogether?

Tedic slows down the Humvee.
"Sure, I think we have enough. Maybe we could also start a torch or two for them. They look like they're freezing out there."

Baker is a little more leery from the back.
"Let's uh, just be careful with this group," he says. "They look pretty desperate, and you know what that means."

From a distance, the group becomes aware of your presence and signals you to approach. As you steer toward them, it becomes evident that the individuals, in addition to being malnourished and suffering from hypothermia, are grappling with illness. A closer look reveals some with bluish skin, and a few are in the midst of vomiting. (Signs of Cholera)

(Signs of Cholera) OOC:
Cunningham doesn't have Medical skill, so I don't know if BT and OT covers what to look for with infectious diseases. Basically, asking if all of us recognize the symptoms or if Marcin explained it to us.Jan 7, 2024 2:21 pm
OOC:
Marcin informs you all that this is Cholera based on the look of the people and his general knowledge of local events. There's not much you can do for such a large group of people. Those showing signs are most likely the ones experiencing the worst systems. You could treat individual people to help them recover and spend your entire shift trying cover the entire group. Mechanically you make their Infection Roll.
Each Personal Medkit grants +1 to a medical aid roll. Unfortunately, they are one time use only objects.
Disease Rules
Exposure: If you are exposed to a dangerous contagion, make a STAMINA roll modified by the disease's virulence rating. (-1 for Cholera)
Incubation Period: Wait for the incubation period to pass (1 day for Cholera)
Infection Roll: After the incubation period, make another STAMINA roll.
Failure: You fall ill, suffer 1 damage, and cannot heal further damage. Repeat the infection roll daily. Each additional failure adds another point of damage. If you become incapacitated while ill, you die within 24 hours without medical aid.
Success: You recover from the illness, stop infection rolls, and heal normally.
In Summary, you risk being infected with Cholera if you get in close contact with any of the people.

"Ok, nothing we can really do for these people. We're not a MASH unit. We can trade them some clean water for intel."

OOC:
How about we do the exchange at a distance to avoid infection? We could drop the water onto the road, then let them pick it up after we drive away.Jan 8, 2024 3:35 am
OOC:
It's a bit cold, but I guess we don't have a choice. Is Sheepdog up on the .50 cal to provide menace to our demands?Jan 8, 2024 6:28 am
Up on the gun mount, Baker isn’t aiming at the crowd, but it’s clear what will happen if anyone decides to fuck around. He has that look in his eye.
"Thousands like these poor bastards all over this country," he says down into the cab. "Hell, all over Europe. Let’s make this quick."

Cunningham rolls down the window while the crowd is still twenty feet away. "That's far enough," he says to the crowd. "We'd appreciate it if you didn't come any closer.""We'll give you four bottles of water for information. Deal?"
"Where are you from?"
He'll then ask about each of the towns along the road: Wodzistaw, Miechow, Krakow. Judging by the responses, he might ask more questions.
If you guys can think of something else to ask, please add it to the list.
OOC:
Assuming they comply, he continues. If they don't, he'll give Reed the signal to drive around them. If they get aggressive, he'll ask Baker to fire a couple of warning shots.OOC:
Assuming the water rations are in bottles. If not, please adjust accordingly. If they haggle, he'll listen to a counter-offer. Assuming they're ok with the deal, he'll ask the following:"Where are you from?"

A leader steps forward from the group, expressing, "Sure, four bottles sound good. What else do you have? We'll take anything you can spare." While he speaks, the remaining refugees maintain a cautious distance but gradually encircle the Humvee. He continues, "We come from Miechow. You’ll find nothing but death and disease there. Wodislaw won't take us, so we're heading further north. You don’t want to spend much time there anyway. Some feud between two large families that are hoarding guns and ammo. Gunshots going off day and night."
He adds some info about Krakow and that it’s a hard place to be. You need to be tough if you want to survive there. There is some order but things like murder aren’t investigated.
Pausing, he stretches a bit to try and peer inside your vehicle from the distance. Then he speaks louder, possibly for the benefit of others in the group, "You all seem to have a nice setup. It looks like you've got more than you need. Could you see it in your heart to spare some more?
Although his voice carries a friendly tone, his eyes and facial expression resemble those of a desperate animal backed into a corner.

Sheepdog tenses up top. At a word from the LT, he'll rack the bolt on the fifty and spray the ground in front of the refugees to drive them back.
