The Heghland 1st - Only War (Inactive)

Game Master PhilOfCalth

Sorry I was distracted I think that there is something wrong with the truck.... anyways. Give out half the food to the clans. Poison and repack the rest. Especially the luxury items. Those will go to the officers first. And let them take half the ammo also. I have more work to do on this truck.....

I'll take it the Commissar didn't hear about you sharing out traitor ammunition

i would assume he does not.

Ill leave that up to you. I stay talking to the prisoners and being treated for my wounds.

What the Commissar doesn't know won't execute us.

We will tell him I soothed their spirits lol

While the rest of the people were working, cormaeg had found a slightly elevated position to set up his autocannon to make a sweep of the land just in case someone snuck up to take them unaware.
This'll do for now...

"How much longer?" He called out.

I claim plausible deniability. How much of the poison do I have, and is it enough to apply it for what Eirik wants? And we'll probably want those vials of sacred unguent. I'll load up on all the drugs and restock my medical supplies. I'll take the Synth Skin Applicators too. This is a lot of stuff.

Wikvaya retrieves his laxative-poison and muses on looking forward to seeing how it will work.

Take some of it. I want some of it to go for them.

Tech for the car. 1d100 ⇒ 70

Dam just barely made that one.

That's 3 times you rolled to do the same basic operation and 3 times you've used the wrong skill. This is the third time I've had to correct you. Please read page 283 of the of the rulebook, or just read what I wrote the first time

The roll is against common lore(Tech) and it's at -10 due to the dying light of the day. Your target is 33 which means you failed by 4 degrees. That means you fixed it for another 5 points but it took you 4 hours and 20min. The vehicle is now lightly damaged.

It's dark when Eirik finishes working on the vehicle and tiredness begins to grow on him heavilly.

You've got enough to poison for 1 meal for an entire platoon. The problem is there is more than 1 meal's worth here and you don't know what they are going to eat first.

With 1 synthskin applicator and a pix and mix of bandages etc, you can upgrade your medikit to an advanced medi-kit. Please list what drugs you take from the vehicle and how much

Who want to be in charge of handing out the food to the natives?

Yeaaaa, that is not Corts kind of thing, he just shoot people

If he notices them waiting, Garion will check on the locals, and upon learning of the situation begin managing the distribution as best as his wounded fatigued state will allow. He makes a point to work through the pain, to show these natives the resilience of the Emperors servants.

Calls out from working on the trucks. Both of you make sure to keep enough to make a believable load in this truck. But give out what they need as our first priority.

Jermaie will help to dole out the materials, casually chatting with the locals as he transports the goods.

As he's heading back to the truck for another grab, Jermaie hears Cormaeg's shout and calls back to him. "However long it bloody takes, ya' great big loon. We've got a great big mass o' locals 'ere and a bunch'a goods to dish out. The corp's got some mihgty repairs ta' do to the truck."

Touched a nerve there...I only wanted to know if we'd be done today or not...

Instead of answering Jermaie, Cormaeg merely makes a rude gesture, but makes sure to smile while he does it.

"You keep watch for a bit Carvo, I'm getting antsy doing nothing here..."

Letting Carvo take his place behind the autocannon, Cormaeg begins to fieldstrip and clean his boltgun, taking refuge in the old familiar task of getting to know a weapon inside out.

The natives take the supplies gracefully, their impatience seemingly disappearing. The 3 men quickly shuffle all the equipment up the cliffs and seem to bring it to just behind the tree-line. Then they themselves disappear into the evening light.

As Eiriks repairs go long into the night, it seems clear that some decisions need to be made.

What is the roata for keeping watch? Will it include Garion and Eirik?
What is the rota for keeping an eye on the prisioners? Will it include Garion and Eirik?
Will you atempt to get back to the camp considering how badly injured Garion is and how dark it has gotten? Garion will have problems with the climb and the vehicle will have to be abandoned? Unless you have another solution...

@Garion - Remember every time you do something that is not bed rest, including guarding the prisioners, you reset the clock for when you can get extended care. You need to have 24hrs bed rest before Wikivaya can roll another medicae for you

Guys make a stretcher and carry the commissar up to camp. Wik see if you can get the natives to help keep watch. Cort your in charge of watch rotation. Neither myself or the commissar will be standing watch til I can get this truck moving. Also ask the natives if the have any cammo netting.

He keeps working on the vehicle till he has to sleep then sleeps in the cab.

Does that mean those of us carrying Garion back to camp should stay there? Should we just leave him and come back or leave one of us there to guard our camp?

@Wikivaya - It'll take a -20 Awareness test to spot the locals as they disappear into the woods. Tracking them will be almost imposible in the dark

Most of you stay there one other come stand over watch on the hill you can watch me and camp...

Alright, then I guess we'll bring the prisoners with us. GM, would we be able to see our base camp and the ambush area from the hill Erik's describing?

Awareness {28 = 48 (perc) - 20 (modifier)}: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Wikvaya returns to Eirik after a futile search for the natives. "The natives have gone, to where I do not know."

At first Garion balks at the idea of any of you carring him as if you are his servants. Heroically, he attempts to carry on make the climb, but it is quickly apparent the task is impossible in his weakened state. Grudgingly, and with much apologies and humility, he would accept the stretcher as necessary and agree to it.

Stop being a fool. LAy down, shut up and sleep!

Alright, then I guess we'll bring the prisoners with us. GM, would we be able to see our base camp and the ambush area from the hill Erik's describing?

Assuming he's refering to the spot that was being used as a look-out. Yes.

The stretcher is made out of branches and rope. It's crude and uncomfortable but it does the job it's made for. The guardsmen assigned to carry Garion have a hard time of it, having to avoid sheer vertical faces and pass the strecher up large steps. When they get to the top they are so exausted that they have to put him down again to retrieve their breath.

@Wikivaya - I just spotted the rules for healing comrades. If you can pass a -10 medicae test you can reduce the amount of time taken for your comrade to heal

Can I get a rota for the watch and for watching the prisioners. Also, how are the prisioners being kept? Are their hands bound? Are they tied to a tree? Etc?

Yep Phil that's where I ment. As for all that its on Cort he was put in charge up the hill lol

Garion had them bound by their legs and hands, hands bound behind them. Whether that stayed or not is up to the others. Garion sleepy...

That may lead to problems as they try to climb out of the valley.

"I can take first watch, might as well do something while I'm up.
I volunteer for duty Corporal."

Didn't they say something about never volunteering for anything in basic training? Hmmm...well, if anyone shots me, I'll know it was a bad idea.

Yeah, that's true. If they run, it's difficult to shoot them with our hands full with Garion. If we've got three people going with us, Cort, Wikvaya and Jermaie, two of us handle the stretcher while the other keeps a bead on the prisoners. If any tries to escape, we shoot them dead. That work for you guys?

"Cort, what do ya' think the watch rotation should be?" Jermaie asks.

Same as it has been these past weeks

On phone hard to find what that is...

I went back through the thread but couldn't find an exact statement. I don't think that watch order would work anyway if it exists. We've got 4/6 guys here available.

bah fine. Cormeg, jermaie, me then baldur

"Heh, getting things done in a hurry."

When you're counting heads, don't forget your comrades

o I assumed target would watch with the watchers

I'm not on the watch list Cort

That's because you asked not to be. You're too busy doing repairs. Why he forgot Wikivaya on the other hand, I don’t know. Perhaps to keep an eye on Garion

bah fine. Cormeg, jermaie, me then baldur

Sounds disorganised = is disorganised! Mwahahaha

bah fine. Cormeg, jermaie, me then baldur

Your last on the list

As Phil pointed out I'm doing repairs. Hes going without sleep so we can get the truck out of the valley. Thats why I said im not on the watch list.

"Come on ya' chaste bastard. If ya' fall asleep I'll... wring you out... like a sponge... in a warm bath."

Jermaie startles awake again, startled, but immediately feels his mind go fuzzy again. Jermaie draws chastener and begins to care for it, hoping the distraction might help keep him awake.

"I want Jermaie to take out his sword and start sharpening it. Can I make a check to keep Jermaie awake. If he really starts falling asleep, drastic measures will have to be taken."

Oh I though you were saying you got left off

@Jermaie - If you want to do nothing to resolve the situation then you'll need to pass a toughness test to avoid taking fatigue

Hrm, it's true Narine hasn't gotten back yet. Trouble is, I don't want to leave those prisoners by themselves to escape. Abandoning my post would also be a breach of orders. Hrm, a toss between two loyalties. I'll key my microbead on an open channel and see if anyone picks up. If not, Jermaie will begin to get worried and will try to contact Baldur. If he still doesn't get a response... I'll have to go looking for them. I care about my people.

Here's a toughness test just in case.

Toughness: 31: 1d100 ⇒ 72

Again in the 70's!

Jermaie closes his eyes. When he opens them again with a snap he's unsure how much time has passed. He thinks he's heard scratching noises like mice under wood work, but it might have been just a dream.

If you still want to employ your com-bead, RP it out for me please

Turn on that combead and Eric will choke you lol. Remember radio silence..... of course you could just be half asleep and forget lol. Which would make for fun rp.

Medicae (for Comrade) {90 = 60 int + 10 medicae + 10 master chirurgeon + 20 medikit - 10 modifier}: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Youre comrade will take 1 full day of rest to heal
