With the last of the bridge guards dead, or at least fatally wounded, Cunningham picks up the M249, descends from the hill, and heads towards the bridge, expecting to rendezvous with the rest of the team there.

Oct 13, 2023 3:07 am

Hearing the gunfire stop, Reed circles around and picks up the others. Once everyone is sorted, Reed drives off.

"Are we going to stop and set up camp, or are we truckin'?"

Oct 13, 2023 4:59 am

"Sorry I missed that first shot, sir, ma'am," Sheepdog says to the Lieutenants when the group gets back together.

When Tedic asks about pushing on, or setting up camp, Baker can go either way. "I need a bite and some shut-eye eventually, but I can grab that on the road if need be."

Checking the bodies and the position for anything they might be able to use (weapons, ammo, food, a radio, supplies, etc.), the man adds, "I'll tell you what we need, and that's gasoline. HUMVEE's gettin' low and we can't exactly stop at a Texaco."

"No need to apologize, Sergeant," Chase says to Sheepdog. "It all worked out in our favor. Let's hope our luck continues to hold out."

She looks to Reed. "I think we can try to press on a bit further before we turn in for the night. Maybe keep an eye out for a gas station along the way."

Oct 13, 2023 1:04 pm

Where do the characters decide to set up camp for the night? I'll move forward with a majority decision. If it's a tie, I'll randomly select. The main difference is whether you want to be near the road. Roads increase encounters, but it's faster and more likely to find a gas station.

Cunningham agrees with Hunter. "No need. Took me a while to do anything with the 249, so I'm not complaining. It all worked out in the end. You got the last guy." He looks around. "Has anyone seen that commie's radio? Maybe we can get a sense of where they're at by listening in."

"Maybe if we head down toward Sandomierz, we'll find some fuel. Do we have a hose in the Humvee if we need to siphon gas?" He adds, "Let's not drive too long. We need to set up camp so that everyone, especially Sheepdog, can get some Zs. Need everyone to be alert if we're heading into town tomorrow."

Day 2 Evening Shift - Cloudy Skies

As the early dusk sets in, casting a warm but fading glow over the landscape, they steer the Humvee down the lonely road. The soft, dim light paints the post-apocalyptic world in shades of orange and purple, creating a surreal atmosphere.

Their chosen campsite is a deserted expanse of farmland, the fields now swallowed by tall, wild grass and weeds. Clusters of gnarled trees dot the landscape, their silhouettes casting eerie shadows in the fading light. A derelict barn stands nearby, its weathered exterior offering a rustic form of shelter. In the distance, a rusting tractor sits partially buried in the earth, a relic of a time long past.

The evening breeze carries a sense of solitude, and the soft rustling of leaves adds to the quiet, contemplative air.

During every shift someone needs to keep watch. During the evening shift someone needs to set up camp. Everyone else is free to pick an action located at the top of this page.

Everyone will eat and drink while setting up camp. Please remove 1 ration and 1 water from your character sheet.

"Has anyone seen that commie's radio? Maybe we can get a sense of where they're at by listening in."

Reed grabs the radio, specifically an R-126 typically used at platoon and company levels. Being able to comprehend Russian, he pieces together that two Russian individuals were operating a Howitzer, firing 122mm shells from a position roughly 200 kilometers to the north, situated on the far side of the river. The radio chatter hints at a lack of organization, suggesting the possibility of inexperienced recruits trying to impress their superiors, possibly with information they'd overheard from a relative in Krasnik.

However, after their comrades at the bridge go radio silent, the chatter on the radio abruptly ceases.

I've added the Radio to Reed's character sheet.

"How'd the kid hold up with that artillery fire?"

Jakub presents a stoic facade, maintaining his functionality and outward appearance, seemingly no worse off than before. Nevertheless, the harsh conditions and the prevailing environment have taken a toll on his mental well-being, eroding his overall stability.

Food and water deducted. Are we all sharing a little bit of our rations and water so Jakub doesn't go hungry/thirsty? Divided four ways, will it be enough, or does he require a full ration/water jug?

If the barn looks big enough, Cunningham asks either Reed or Sheepdog, "Do you think we can get the Humvee in there? I'd like to keep it out of sight in case there are any hostile patrols in the area. If not, maybe park it around back."

Cunningham will keep watch with Sheepdog's NVGs. He'll insist that the sergeant get shuteye after he sets up camp and camouflages it since he has the least amount of sleep of the four of us.

Well, I guess it's a good thing I have Scrounger for times like these.

Correct me if I'm wrong at any point:
I start with d8 Intelligence.
Scrounger's +1 makes it d8, d6
I get a +2 because the barn would count as ruins? So, d10, d8.
Then, Jakob's help adds +1, for a total of d10, d10.

Additionally, I think this counts as a quick search because of the area I'm searching is limited to the barn, so I could get another roll on the loot table.

Tedic goes off to the barn to try and find some stuff that might be useful in the future. It's a bit nostalgic, reminding Tedic of those times he went "treasure-hunting" as a kid. Thinking about that, he takes Jakob along with him for the task unless anybody objects. Hopefully it'll help keep the young boy's mind off of matters.

After they get the humvee under cover, Baker sets about getting a camp set up. He'll grab some shut-eye after that -- and after eating an MRE.

"Who's got grub for the kid?" he asks the group when they are together, eating. "I got two MREs left, just a little water. We're going to need some food soon, too."

Excellent points!

You could take 3 Soviet uniforms, but they would be bloody and have bullet holes. I’d say that each would take 1/2 encumbrance units. Removing the blood stains will require soap.

The Soviets didn’t have a backpack.

saevikas says:

Yes, you can attach it to the back. Replacing a tire in the event of a flat tire would require a TECH roll. The spare tire is for a civilian truck, but it will work.

The Evening and Night Shifts
Throughout both the evening and night shifts, Cunningham's vigilant watch reveals no sightings or encounters. Thanks to his NVGs he possesses a clear line of sight, extending up to 30 meters even in the shroud of night. Any potential passersby would have had to venture beyond that range.

Their camp, skillfully concealed, remains undetected. The campfire, cleverly situated in the sheltered nook by the open-air barn, successfully masks the glow of light and the wisps of smoke, shielding them from prying eyes. The odds are greatly against anything, or anyone having observed their camp during these shifts.

While they're breaking camp and getting the Humvee loaded up, Cunningham suggests that they continue on to Sandomierz in hopes of finding food and fuel. He's open to hearing arguments in favor of it or against it.

Oct 17, 2023 5:15 pm

OOC:

Are any of these cities known to be "unoccupied"? Either abandoned, or not under Soviet control?

Oct 17, 2023 5:42 pm

The group's knowledge of the region west of the river is rather imprecise. They understand that it was a battleground where Soviet and NATO forces constantly shifted control, with both sides gaining and losing ground. They also know that the further east they travel, the greater the likelihood of encountering areas once held by NATO.

Specifically, they are aware that the city of Kielce witnessed extensive military action, particularly bombings. The last known information indicated that NATO forces had claimed the city, intending to establish it as a base for further westward operations. However, that information dates back quite a while.

Thanks to Hunter's historical insight, they have additional knowledge about the city of Sandomierz. It is home to a castle, a potentially robust defensive position. Survivors may have sought refuge within the castle and its environs for safety. Yet, there's also a chance that some military force is currently utilizing it as a base of operations, making it a place of potential significance and danger.

This is what the characters know:
- Kielce received a lot of bombing which devastated it.
- They wouldn't know if the city has a radioactive threat from the map, but they would be able to identify a nuclear bomb crater if they saw one.
- They know that NATO forces last set up a base of operations there months ago.
- They would expect to see very few civilians living there.
- They would not be surprised to hear that it was nuked beyond recognition.
- They would not be surprised to hear that there was a military presence there, but they would not expect it to be a large one.

No telling who's in charge there or if there's anything there at all. Could be nuked for all we know. We'll burn through 70% of our remaining fuel to get there, unless we're lucky enough to find some on the way. We're also going to need food and water before then. The map's not showing any towns between here and there, though there's an intersection about 20 klicks from here, so we're gonna have to keep our eyes open for farms or homes along the way to scavenge for that.

As the group sets out in the Humvee, traveling east along the desolate road, they observe the gradual darkening of the skies. Their eastward path leads them into an area blanketed by thick, ominous clouds, foreshadowing an impending rainstorm.

Considerably short of reaching Kielce, Sheepdog suddenly motions for Reed to halt the vehicle. Exiting the Humvee, he raises his M21 sniper rifle, peers through the scope, and his eyes lock onto a colossal crater. It was made from a past nuclear strike, stretching at least 400 meters in diameter. Scattered around the crater are the charred remnants of dozens of armored vehicles, all utterly beyond repair. Upon closer inspection, the vehicles scattered around the crater appear ripe for scavenging. However, the hazardous nature of the area surrounding the crater is evident, with clear indications of potential radioactivity.

The crater blocks the road, and the group will need to go off-road for the remainder of this shift. They can go up to two hexes. The vehicles near the crater can be scavenged for parts, and there is a chance (4 in 6) that the group can siphon off gas from these vehicles. The group recognizes that the area around the crater is radioactive.

It depends on the radiation level. Typically I would keep that hidden, but for this encounter it’s strong radiation.

The character will receive 1 rad per hour in the radioactive zone.

Every time they gain a rad, they must immediately roll STAMINA to resist radiation poisoning.

You get +4 to your roll minus your current rad count. For example if your character currently has 4 rads the STAMINA roll is not modified. If they have 6 rads, they get -2 modifier on the roll.

If they fail the roll they have Radiation sickness for 1 shift (6 hours). During that time they vomit, have diarrhea, and bleed from nose, and cough up blood. They receive 1 physical damage and can’t heal any damage until the disease is gone.

The temp rad has a 1 in 6 chance of becoming a permanent rad.

Day 3 Day Shift - Rain
The Humvee drives around the colossal crater, resuming its journey toward Kielce. As they draw nearer, the terrain deteriorates further, marked by enormous craters left behind by past bombings. Their approach to the city reveals the grim reality of destruction; Kielce lies in ruins, nearly obliterated by relentless bombardment. Among the wreckage, they spot craters even larger than the nuclear one they encountered earlier. It's a truly post-apocalyptic scene, made even more somber by the rain that has begun to fall.

Yet, something peculiar catches their attention on the outskirts of the city. There's a small settlement that has sprung up, seemingly defying the odds, nestled just beyond the city's limits. It's astonishingly close to the decimated cityscape, and life appears to persist there, with people going about their daily routines amidst the backdrop of bombed-out structures. The rain adds to the melancholy atmosphere.

The group can choose to approach the settlement or continue on past it. There is nothing obviously dangerous to them about it from their current distance. It does not appear that anyone currently sees the Humvee or cares.

As the other lieutenant ponders her response, Baker puts his helmet on his head, strapping it on. "We'll need to be careful in there, you all know that. Watch for mines on the way in, Reed, and hidden emplacements on the sides of the road. What've we got that we can trade for ethanol?"

As the Humvee eases into the settlement at a slow pace, the group observes the few residents braving the rain. They conspicuously avert eye contact, some swiftly changing course or seeking refuge within tents and structures. After a few minutes of this curious reception, a man emerges from the settlement and ambles towards the Humvee. His approach is unthreatening, as though he's been expecting their arrival. He has a PMK-60 slung over his shoulder.

[ +- ] PMK-60

Coming to a halt near Reed's window the man says "Jesteś wcześnie. Nie spodziewaliśmy się ciebie przez jeszcze kilka dni."

Jakub says a few words in Polish, and the man continues, this time in English. "You're early. We weren't expecting you for a few more days." He looks at your group again, prompting the man to add, "You don't resemble Daniel's men. He typically has someone who speaks Polish, and I doubt he's resorted to recruiting child soldiers," he glances at Jakub before concluding, "except for hostages. Anyhow, if you're not affiliated with Daniel, I'd strongly advise you to move on. There's nothing of value here, and we have no interest in trouble."

His parents were killed, so we're trying to get him out of the war zone. But thanks for the update, we'll be on our way." To the rest of his group, "Let's roll out. There's nothing for us here."

The man's gaze softens as he looks at Jakub again, his expression reflecting the harshness of life in these challenging times. "I'm sorry, but these days are just tough," he begins. "You're welcome to stay here for a while, but it's the unfortunate truth that we have very little. We're struggling to make ends meet. My name's Piotr, and I, along with my brother, help oversee this camp."

He continues to explain that there's not much to offer in terms of food or water, but there might be some leftover gear stored in the collection tent. Piotr points towards a shed at the far end of the settlement, set apart from the rest of the structures and positioned closest to the city's ruins.

Further elaborating, he reveals that roughly once a week, a mercenary group, led by a man named Daniel, arrives and demands supplies, threatening violence if their demands aren't met. Piotr informs them that this group is headquartered in Chęciny, comprising a small yet heavily armed faction of around 15 members.

To fulfill their demands, this settlement sends individuals into the city's ruins to scavenge for gear. They always return with severe radiation poisoning.

Sheepdog, who has been listening to the conversation, shakes his head slightly from the back seat.

"Ain't right, taking from people like that." Then, leaning forward, between the seats, he quietly adds, "I bet they don't show up fifteen strong when they come here. If we know what way they come... we could probably bushwhack 'em somewhere outside of town. Syphon some gas." Another pause, then, "Maybe ask him where they's from. Don't sound like good American boys."

OOC:

I'm okay moving on, but we -could- stick around for a shift, help out where we can, make some allies that we might rely on in the future. This would be a place to fall back to if nothing else. And we could ask around about the surrounding countryside, cities, and potential sources of fuel.

Oct 28, 2023 5:12 pm

Cunningham listens to Piotr's tale. He hates bullies to begin with, and hearing how these downtrodden people are their target makes him sick. And the fact that they come from Chęciny, means they'd have no luck finding a friendly source of food and fuel.

Harrigan says:

"Ain't right, taking from people like that."

"Agreed."

Harrigan says:

"I bet they don't show up fifteen strong when they come here. If we know what way they come... we could probably bushwhack 'em somewhere outside of town. Syphon some gas." Another pause, then, "Maybe ask him where they's from. Don't sound like good American boys."

Cunningham nods. He asks Piotr, "You say they come from Chęciny. How many do they normally send to collect their 'tribute'? Do they drive a vehicle or come on foot? And could you show us the way they come from? If they're American, maybe we could talk to them, get them to stop. If they're not, well, maybe we can still get them to stop."

Cunningham knows that those sorts of people aren't the kind to just stop if you ask them nicely. They have to be made to stop. He and Sheepdog were on the same page.

They'd have to do something about Jakub though. No sense getting the kid in a firefight if he could be put up here for a bit.

Piotr

Oct 28, 2023 10:26 pm

Piotr

Piotr explains, "They usually come in a group of 4 or 5, driving a vehicle like this one, he pats the top of your humvee "but theirs is more armored than this. They also have a machinegun attached to the roof of theirs. One always follows that vehicle with a truck or van. They swap out their second vehicle with one that we've loaded up with found supplies. You're making me nervous with these plans. I fear that they might expect that we tipped you off and retaliation might be inevitable. I have all these people to think about."

Although hesitantly, he points out the south road they always come up on. He also describes them as polish military personal.

Oct 29, 2023 5:57 am

Tedic considers the situation. It seems like if they were to take on the trading group, they would either be of roughly equal strength or slightly outmatched. He looks at the others to see what they think about it.

Oct 29, 2023 4:32 pm

Cunningham nods. "I understand your concern. The last thing we'd want is to make your lives any worse." He recalls Piotr saying that the other Daniel's group wasn't expected for a few more days. That would give them plenty of time to make a decision and either plan for a way to deal with them or avoid being targeted by them.

Oct 29, 2023 6:21 pm

"We don't gotta decide right now, right? Maybe stop here and let everyone rest up a little, see if we can trade for some food?" Sheepdog quietly says from the back. "I'm for it, but we can also keep cruising, LT."

Oct 29, 2023 9:15 pm

OOC:

I think we're in the midst of the afternoon shift, so we can spend the rest of that here. Do we have anything to trade for food?

Cunningham asks Piotr, "Mind if we get out and stretch our legs here for a bit? We can move the Humvee somewhere out of sight if it being here is a problem."

Oct 29, 2023 9:33 pm

Piotr responds, "You're welcome to stay here for a day. However, I should warn you that Daniel's men might arrive the following day, and they won't react kindly to finding you here. You don't need to relocate the vehicle; it's not obstructing anyone's path."

It is the middle of the afternoon shift. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone willing to give you food in a trade here. They do however have information if someone takes the time asking around. Some information is free, some can be obtained with a RECON roll, and some can be traded for.

Not all information is reliable. The free info is reliable. The RECON information is reliable on a success: information on a failed RECON has a 1 in 2 chance of being false. Traded information is reliable. You can be specific with the info you’re looking for or you can just see what’s around.

If you spend the evening and night shifts here you don’t need to roll to set up camp.

You’re also free to take any of the actions listed in the reference thread (such as hunting)

We don't have much food. Does anyone feel like heading off into the surrounding woods and hills to go hunting and/or foraging? As that's Survival and Recon rolls and Intelligence is the controlling attribute, Cunningham gets a d6 and d12 for the former and d8 and d12 for the latter. So if we want to do that, he'd volunteer to go. Plus, if we found enough to share, that might go a long ways with the locals.

If we just want intel on where to find gas, I guess there's that, too, but I'm not sure anyone here would even know the answer.

Leaving the settlement, Cunningham embarks on an exploration of the surrounding landscape, scouting for an ideal location for a hunting expedition. The area boasts a substantial expanse of forested terrain, promising the potential for a successful hunt. As luck would have it, Cunningham soon comes across the tracks of a large animal, gradually discerning the telltale signs of a moose. Following the trail, he methodically moves forward, and before long, the moose materializes not too far ahead.

With utmost care, he raises his AK-74, takes careful aim, and pulls the trigger. However, his shot goes wide, and the moose bolts, vanishing into the distance. Throughout the remainder of the afternoon shift, Cunningham's efforts yield no further opportunities to encounter game.

Following Cunningham's hunting excursion, Reed sets out on his own hunt. As they cross paths, Cunningham shares the valuable information about the moose, kindling hope that Reed may soon have a successful encounter. Reed ventures further into the wilderness and begins noticing the telltale signs of a bird. Eager to sneak up on the animal, he advances cautiously, but unfortunately, his movements prove too loud, and he startles a grouse, causing it to take off before he can even take a shot.

Upon reflection of the events, Reed realizes that even if he had managed to approach the grouse stealthily, he would have needed a shotgun to hunt it effectively.

Your calculations look correct to me, and the grouse is the one animal that requires a specific gun for hunting. Although, I love the idea of someone hunting with an lmg.

Trading InfromationScouring the camp for potential trade goods proves to be a challenging endeavor due to the scarcity of available items.

A visit to the collection shed situated at the rear of the camp reveals a grim sight. Next to the shed, a man suffers from severe radiation poisoning, doubled over and vomiting uncontrollably. Inside the spacious shed, two women are meticulously sifting through various items. One pile comprises items designated for Daniel's men, while the other heap consists of miscellaneous goods that, while perhaps not of great value, could still prove useful to the settlement.

Here are the various things available for trade in the settlement, the person trading them, and their cost. Note that the items set aside for Daniel's men are not for trade, but you should know they exist.

Once the Hunter realizes that Reed has some serious interest in his information, he becomes more chatty.

Reed discovers that the hunter has a playful and mischievous demeanor. Above all, it becomes evident that he has a genuine fondness for the thrill of causing explosions.

Another thing that Reed discerns is that the hunter appears to be withholding certain details about the operational gas station. Reed doesn't doubt the veracity of the information regarding the gas station's existence, location, or that it works. However, he senses that the hunter isn't divulging the entire story, as if Reed isn't getting the full picture. If Reed directly inquires about it, the hunter merely shrugs and retorts, "Do you want the information or not?"

The Hunter is willing is willing to drop the grenades from his offer if someone could help him construct an impressive IED with a successful TECH roll. (Cunningham has a bonus to making IEDs)

While scouting the southern road in search of an ideal spot for a potential ambush, Sheepdog unexpectedly trips and stumbles over an inconspicuous rock. After taking a few steps, he becomes suspicious, sensing that this is no ordinary stone. He retraces his steps to investigate further and discovers that it's actually the corner of a small crate, seemingly buried and concealed here long ago. Its owners must have either forgotten about it or perished before they could return.

Sheepdog proceeds to pry open the crate, revealing a hidden cache of rations—enough to last for six days in total. Additionally, he finds a paper note enclosed in a clear plastic bag, likely to protect it from moisture. The note reads:

Hunter

The hunter is absolutely thrilled with the IED that Cunningham assembles. He's particularly focused on setting it up in a way that allows him to ignite the device by pulling a long string. As soon as it's in his hands, he eagerly departs with it.

Later, the hunter tracks down Reed and Cunningham, urging them to follow him. He leads them to a location that appears to be his residence, situated on the edge of the camp. Despite offering little explanation, he emphasizes the need for silence. The three of them take cover in some nearby bushes. Reed and Cunningham feel perplexed about hiding in the bushes with the hunter until they realize that he's holding a thin string.

Following the line with their eyes, they see it leads to an outhouse not too far away. The hunter stares fixedly at the outhouse.

Before long, while they remain concealed in the bushes, his neighbor emerges from his tent and starts heading towards the outhouse. When the neighbor is roughly 50 feet away, the hunter pulls the string, triggering a massive explosion that propels bits of wood and debris into the air. The neighbor is blown back and lands on the ground.

The hunter leaps out of the bushes, shouting animatedly in Polish. Cunningham and Reed manage to piece together enough to understand the situation. The hunter exclaims, "I bet you'll think twice before you let your mangy, ugly dog take a dump near my tent again. Next time, I might not be so generous!" He then breaks into loud laughter and struts back to his own tent leaving Reed and Hunter in the bushes.

The water situation in the settlement is dire. You can tell that most are hungry or dehydrated. The few that seem to be doing ok are ones with essential jobs such as the Hunter and Piotr.

There is no extra water available so you will need to treat the settlement as if it’s the wilderness in terms of water supplies.

It’s quite possible that Daniel’s crew is using clean water in addition to force to keep the settlement under control.

Day 4 Morning Shift - Clear Skies
The three get up early and drive to the gas station, and it's exactly in the location that the hunter described.

The gas station is remarkably easy to spot from a distance. It stands alone, having served as a gas station and bait and tackle shop in its previous life.

Surrounded by a ten-foot-tall metal fence, the top of this barrier is lined with razor wire to deter any unauthorized entry. Large signs, placed 20 meters from the fence's perimeter, feature bold letters that emphatically caution: "WARNING DANGER DEATH DISEASE EXPLOSIVES." These warnings are inscribed in Polish, Russian, and English. The ground surrounding the outside of the fence bears visible signs of disturbance, likely indicative of landmines that were placed in a deliberate attempt to deter rather than ambush potential intruders.

Inside the fenced area, a truck is conspicuously parked. Next to the truck stands a solitary gas pump. The sole entrance and exit point through the fence is a gate located at the front, securely padlocked with substantial chains.

The gas station boasts several intriguing features. Within the fenced area, there are two wind turbines, along with a solar panel array adorning the building's rooftop. Rainwater buckets are strategically positioned outside to collect rainwater. Surveillance cameras are affixed to all four sides of the building, while a loudspeaker is attached to the front, adding to the site's overall uniqueness. At the highest point of the flat roof, there appears to be an area designated for gardening, although it currently lays barren and devoid of any vegetation.

Nov 7, 2023 2:06 am

"You want me to set up," Sheepdog says, squinting as he surveys the terrain, looking for the best over-watch position, "o'er there? Provide some cover if you're just gonna walk up to the fence and do some talkin'? Ask to trade for some gas?"

Does Cunningham walk directly up to the main entrance to the fence? I'm assuming he will want to avoid walking around the other sides because they clearly are marked with landmines.

Does he go right up to the fence, or does he stand back from a distance and shout? Does he go with Reed and the vehicle, or does he walk?

Nov 7, 2023 7:26 pm

Cunningham will walk towards the gas station but keep his distance. He'll assume that it'll be enough time for Sheepdog to get into position and get ready. Once there, he'll holler a hello.

As Cunningham draws near, a loudspeaker suddenly echoes, "GO AWAY! There is nothing here but death. This world is teeming with death and despair."

Following a brief pause, the speaker's voice resonates again, stating, "Leave your trade items outside the gate and return in an hour. I'll leave an equitable amount of fuel in exchange." Another interval of silence ensues.

Nov 8, 2023 3:05 am

"I'll be back. I have to go get them." Cunningham heads back the way he came. He hopes that Sheepdog saw and heard the exchange. He'll go talk to Reed and see what they have to give up.

Upon returning and discussing the situation further, Cunningham gathers that the man would be immensely grateful if someone could deal with a troublesome bear that's been causing quite a disturbance. The bear frequents an area just to the north of the gas station.

Cunningham explores the area around the homes when he catches the sound of rustling. Stealthily, he approaches a house and, upon reaching the backyard, comes face to face with a bear. The moment their eyes lock, a tense silence ensues, each waiting for the other to make a move.

The bear, appearing hungry and agitated, gives off an impression that it might charge at any moment. The distance between them is about 40 meters.

Cunningham finds himself beside a typical suburban house.

I'm assuming that Reed is with Cunningham, but let me know if that's not the case. Cunningham, Reed, or Sheepdog can take an action before the bear reacts.

Some stats to know about the bear is that it has a Hit Cap of 6 and does 2 damage with it's paws. Also for whatever reason, the rulebook explicitly states that it cannot be PERSUADED, so I guess no PSY OPS for Cunningham.

Spotting the bear, Cunningham swiftly takes aim and unleashes a burst of five rounds. Understanding that a single shot won't be sufficient to bring it down, the gunfire goes wide, hitting the ground around the bear and causing it to react with a start.

The bear unleashes a roar, hurtling toward Cunningham at full tilt. Suddenly, a series of gunshots echo in the distance. The first shot strikes the bear in the stomach, inducing gut bleeding, while the second hits its front leg, causing a stumble and a crash to the ground. Both precisely aimed shots incapacitate and eventually lead to the demise of the bear, leaving it just a couple of meters from Cunningham and Reed.

OOC:

I think the damage would be 6 not 7. I'm interpreting the rules that he does base 3 damage on his ranged hit success and then another base 3 damage from the success from the ammo dice.

Also, I was a bit worried that Cunningham or Reed were about to be mauled to death by a bear.

Nov 12, 2023 4:56 pm

OOC:

Reed wouldn't have got a shot off before the bear mauled one of us?

Cunningham keeps his assault rifle trained on the bear, but after a moment, breathes a sigh of relief. He waits a minute or so to make sure the bear is dead. He knows that Baker can't hear him, but he says, "Thank you, Sheepdog. I owe you one."

"Ok Reed, let's see if we can haul the bear back to the shack and collect a reward."

I’m mostly concerned about time. The group has the rest of the day shift to head back and prep the area for an ambush.

Typically it takes a shift to clear a hex of mines or remove mines from a hex. Plus the mine will explode if he fails the roll, so there is always that added danger.

If you want a bomb for the ambush, I think it’s more reasonable to bribe the hunter with 2 rations for IED supplies.

If you go for the ambush, it would be these rolls.

1. Cunningham Tech roll for the IED
2. Cunningham RECON roll to hide the IED on site
3. Sheepdog RECON roll to make sure the group is concealed.

That would take up the time until Daniel’s men drive down the road. Reed would have flexibility in what he does.

◼ Jakub -- I've been thinking was with the other LT. What are we doing with her, pretending she never existed?

◼ Tracking ammo and food, yes. And water, which I need... maybe we can trade rations one for one?

◼ The hangar / ambush -- I suggest we skip the hangar, maybe return to it. So we're doing this, the ambush? I'm all for it. I do have a question -- is there a spare AK-74 and some mags? Baker isn't *low* low, but he's only got two mags left for his M21.
