Marcin wants the helicopter so he can get somewhere safe. He plans on getting everyone in the helicopter once you find it and fly you wherever you want to go.

Marcin stored fuel in canisters when he hid the helicopter. They are located next to it, and you’ll need to fuel it up before you fly out.

"It would be a lot easier to avoid gang turf wars if we knew who owned what. But I don't expect you to have the latest intel on that, Marcin." He reflects on their predicament. Krakow was about halfway to Glucholazy. "If your helo is everything you say it is, we could buy a gang's allegiance with the humvee. But if someone already snagged it or wrecked it, we're gonna have a long walk outta Krakow."

Baker spends some time gazing at Krakow in the distance, then shakes his head.

"Gonna be ugly if we have to fight our way in there. You know what cities are like, LT. Won't be easy."

"Nope. It's gonna suck. I appreciate the intel, Marcin, but not knowing where the borders between gangs and warlords are is going to make traversing the city a pain in the dick."

"We go on foot, we'll be a lot quieter," Sheepdog muses. "But slower, and we won't have the deuce. Or the vehicle to trade."

It's not an easy call, and the Master Sergeant is glad he doesn't have to make it.

"You think we should send someone to scout out the place first? Maybe go in quick and check on the state of the helicopter. There's a lot of unknowns here."

OOC:
Daniel's answer depends on where The Big Playground lies within the Krakow city map.

My main concern right now is how many seats does helicopter have? As we are not so small company already... and as far as I remember it is some kind of police helicopter? So I presume 4-5 seats max including pilot, which have to be Marcin? So at least 1 too many(counting Jakub of course)... And who is the newest in the grup... let's think ;)

The question is connected with the humvee, as if there are only 4 seats it leaves 2 on the ground - so the humvee could be still useful, for them to try run on their own record. Meanwhile thinking about other questions.

OOC:
It's a stretch, but let's say the helicopter fits everyone if you choose to have everyone ride in it.

"It would be a lot easier to avoid gang turf wars if we knew who owned what. But I don't expect you to have the latest intel on that, Marcin."
"Exactly... we have to gather some more intel about the situation first. Knowing which gang's territory our heli is in... would allow us to plan something. Maybe we will present ourselves as some kind of mercenary group to one of the gangs? Or both? And pretend to do something for them on their territory, while going for our score... or something like that?"
ForeverDED says:
"If your helo is everything you say it is, we could buy a gang's allegiance with the humvee. But if someone already snagged it or wrecked it, we're gonna have a long walk outta Krakow."
"Personally I wouldn't go that way lieutenant. If they will have even the slightest suspicion that we have a clue to whereabouts of something more valuable than a Humvee, they will certainly try to snatch both of them for themselves. We shouldn't show our cards so early.

Besides... I would prefer to lay this beautiful machine in the hands of some more worthy people, than some 'gangs' leaders..."


After short consideration, he added: "Plus... will this humvee be even defendable in proper way in crowded city environment? I don't have to much experience with such staff, but you know... easy ambushes and no way to drive fast and far?"
Jan 29, 2024 9:00 pm
"So maybe we could hide somewhere the humvee before entering the city - to have some backup plan in case the heli will be not serviceable after all this time... or simply not there anymore? And go there on foot to gather some info first?"
OOC:
I don't know how many answers to those questions Dawid could know on his own? But I presumed not too much, as he was operating at the east recently.

OOC:
Are the gray smudges ruins or radiation zones?
Jan 30, 2024 12:18 am
"Yeah, I'd rather not tempt anybody. If we're giving up a Humvee, that means that whatever we want to find is worth more than a Humvee. Do you think we could hire some mercenaries? We could rush the heli while the mercs hold off any gangsters."
OOC:
Another thing to consider is that all of our supplies are in the Humvee. I'm thinking that there needs to be some variation on "get the heli and the humvee far away from the city, transfer supplies, then fly to greener pastures".

OOC:
There are rules to set up a home base. You could do something like that and stash the Humvee and supplies there. Marcin and Jakub could stay behind, etc…

Sheepdog is listening and nodding as Dawid and Tedic voice some concerns about a direct approach, or one that includes trading the truck.

"Agreed. I'm thinking we go in on foot after dark, recon the route to the chopper."
Jan 30, 2024 10:21 pm
Cunningham nods. "Sure. That works. Just gotta find some place to hole up and hide the humvee, which is hard enough as it is."

When Jakub was already sleeping after tiring and emotional day, he turns to his newly met companions and says with hushed voice:
"From what Marcin was telling us I think we can judge that the future events in Kraków could get quite nasty even if we will be very countious... I'm worried about Jakub in such conditions. I owe his father a lot... and must do everything I can about his safety, so his father could live on within him... I think I know some friendly family in the area, at remote farm to the west. I will go in the morning and check if they will be willing to take care for him during our mission in Krakow. The head of the family owe me a favor, but I think they will took him in only if we will provide food for the boy for at least few days or so. And I don't have that much on me... but will give what I have. You think I should already take him with me or only after checking the place?"

After sleeping through the night, Dawid wakes up very early - with the sunrise and prepares for a little trip to the west.
"I wonder how fast I will find them in that forest. It is not a coincidence that they were mostly left in peace all this time after all..."
OOC:
Ok... prepering to roll. Depending what others will say, Dawid will take Jakub with him or leave alone to check the situation on the site first.

So... +2 on a RECON. That would be: base Int d12, 0 Recon -> Int d12, Recon d8. Hope it is ok? Roll pending...
Edit: looks like this +2 helped a lot! Knowing the area was essential.
"Gotcha! Old Bestard! He knows how to hide things... indeed." - Dawid whispered to himself when he finally found an inconspicuous path leading to a small house hidden in the forest.

Rolls

Recon (Intelligence) - (d12, d8)

d12 : (4) = 4

d8 : (8) = 8
