Chapter 4: Village of Irkutlas

Post by Venatus Vinco »

Irkutlas Preparing to head out, the group decides what to do with Sokolov’s vehicle - after raiding it for food, vodka, and a language translator of course. They can drive it themselves or trade it to the convoy they are with for additional supplies.

Keep it: Add another Driving roll
Trade It: Pick up Adventuring Gear (nothing TW) up to 100,000 credits in value for the group.
Navigating the countryside is simple but mind numbing. Staying on course is a matter of focusing against being consumed by the mind numbingly empty and bleak conditions. The going is rugged and covering any amount of ground takes. Before too long the convoy reaches their destination, a mid-sized village named Irkutlas next to the river in Warlord Orloff’s territory. Angelo will need to find a lead on his people here in town.

Make a Networking (Persuasion or Intimidation) to find a lead on where your nomadic people may have gone
The rest of the group has some time in this first sign of basic civilization to do what they need. Exploring this mid-sized town is easy, and the language troubles are somewhat relieved by Angelo and the language translator.
What Would You Like to Do?
If you kept the Novyet Explorer-Sku you might be able to trade it for a better deal here. You can eat, rest, explore, etc. Once I know what you’re doing we’ll set up some Networking or Quick Encounters to resolve it.

Setting the snowy conditions, and noting how cramped their one vehicle is, Makenna decides to hop into the driver's seat of the new vehicle.

Once arriving in Irkutlas, she sees that Angelo is looking for his people and decides to help him out. Grabbing a bottle or two of vodka, she scouts out a likely person who might know where Angelo's people have gone, and offers them the vodka and a charming smile. Using the translator recovered from their new vehicle, she strikes up a pleasant conversation, and inquires about any Romani groups who may have passed through.

During the ride back Par is often distracted as he thinks about the line between the practical things that must be done and the moral things that must be done. It seems strange to him the two would conflict so often, his mother never spoke of these situations, and his father was constantly in the field making these choices daily.

As they come in to the town Par has already learned enough from his previous experience to know to hide his nature. Most people, especially those in Russia will not be able to accept he is human like the rest of them.

Looking at everything and how different and new it is Par speaks up. "I would like to explore, and look around a bit. I have not had a chance with a place like this and as we need to wait for our friend until evening I think it works. Anyone want to join me, I do not think it is wise to go alone."

Steelbrok decides to take a stroll around the village, nodding politely to those he passes. Having his turn with the language translator he tries to reassure the villagers, helping some of the children who are building a snow fort.

Irkutlas Makenna and Angelo move through town. The populace is mostly human and Makenna finds that while people are generally accepting but gets the feeling if she looked any more alien they might be put off. The vodka helps too. After getting a little tipsy with a local militaman she finds that there was a group of Romani in town last week, he describes them as thieving vermin and glad they are gone. Angelo bites his tongue, for now.

The militaman is pretty certain they headed west but there is really only wilderness out there, so he has no idea where they might be going. He does share that there are some trappers in town who hunt out in the western frontier, they might have some idea of where the Romani are heading. Most of the trappers sell their wares at a trading post in the town centre. The post also keeps an eye out for people’s comings and goings to report them to Warlord Orlov...so be cautious.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group puzzles about what to do with Sokolov’s vehicle. Disguise t? Dump it? Trade it? The first thing they do is search it for tracking devices.

Quick Tasks
Bug Sweep
Roll Electronics -2 to sweep for bugs. Success means you do find a transponder, and Repair is required to remove it.
Machine Shop
The town has a small machine shop that does work on vehicles. The owner won’t remove any tracking devices and is suspicious if the group asks him to. Use Persuasion or Intimidation to work out a deal for a new paint job.
Trade In
There is a trading post in the centre of town, you can probably hook up with a willing trade partner there. However, transactions at the trading posts are officially logged. Although there’s usually someone willing to work off the books. Asking around about black market activities is risk and requires Persuasion or Intimidation at -2. The Streetwise edge negates this penalty.

Par waits while the others search for potential tracking devices. Moving through the streets and working with people is something he would like to help with and once everything is ready he states he will help find a buyer. "Sometimes I just get intuitions about what to do or where to go. I think they would help here." He explains as he prepares for some moving around the streets.

Par felt great, it only took him an hour and a half to find someone willing to look over the ride. Making an appointment and letting the others know he had a buyer lined up. As he reported the results to the others Par was feeling pretty excited about the end results. Proving himself useful to the group was more important than the young teenager was willing to admit.

Steelbrok voices his suspicions and is glad to see the others think his suspicions (paranoia?) about tracking devices is worth checking out.

He helps Makenna and Plachr by frequency scanning with his EADS and radio and analysing the set up of the vehicle's root code (and Angelo by sweeping him for signs of unknown implants.

Firstly to see if anything's there
H1d8!! and Wild die 1d6!!
,

Then (assuming anything is found...) his old picpocketing and alarm disablement skills get some practice
Thievery 1d6!!+1, Wild die 1d6!!+1

So, +1 to help Makenna find anything. Alas "fingers" is fingerless when it comes to helping Palach remove it 0 (Thievery is d6 but -1 due to cyborg poor dexterity but then +2 from HJ roll versus electronic security)
Glances around as they work, wondering who's turn it is for dragon-sitting?

After getting a little tipsy off the vodka, Makenna returns to her group. She stores her larger, not-so-easy-to-conceal weapons in the main vehicle, then spends a little time looking over the new vehicle for devices. Once that's done, she walks around the trading post as casually as possible, striking up small conversations here and there with the vendors, just trying to make it look like she's a casual traveller. Finally, she makes her way over to the fur traders, asking them about their usual hunting grounds. "I hear that there's not much out to the west. Is there something special out that way besides game to hunt?"

Palach is unsurprised when @Makenna Griggs finds the bug on the Warlord's vehicle. "Is odd that it is only the one. Here. Let me." Showing some aptitude for tools, he works diligently to remove the transponder. After awhile, he manages to disconnect the tracker. "Got it. Is simple. What do we want to do with it? We could drive it in wrong direction to throw off anyone following. Dump it in snowbank and leave."

Language barrier be damned, people are people. And Bryan is an expert on a certain subclass of people, the criminal element. He instantly identifies the roughest part of the little town and chats up a barkeep. He pulls out a flask of good Canadian whiskey, and he and the barkeep chat while trading shots of Whiskey and Vodka. After a couple of hours, even the burly Russian's alcohol tolerance starts to cave in, and he starts to tell Bryan what he knows about the thief.

Big Trouble in Little Irkutlas The West
Drinking and trading stories Makenna learns that the west is dominated by a so-called Empire of Brodkil, marauding sub-demons who like human technology - and flesh. Anyone heading into the Brodkil Empire is either in league with demons or insane.

Bug Sweep
Working together with the team Makenna locates a short ranged radio tracking device on the Novyet Explorer. Fortunately, there is no long range satellite coverage so the warlord’s men would have to be very close to pick up a signal. The odds of that are astronomically low - akin to rolling 1 on two different dice at the same time.

Palach can easily disable the device, but before he does Steelbrok takes a minute to jack in and read its small memory card. He is surprised to hear that the radio transmitter is receiving a ping-back signal. Perhaps the warlord has men close by!

While the others brainstorm ways to throw the warlord off their tracks, Par moves through the streets and finds himself a potential buyer for the truck. He sets up a meeting time and lets the others know.

The Mean Street
It doesn’t take Bryan long to find a burgeoning black market in Irkutlas. Asking around about the thief the group is tracking yields little results, until Bryan drops a little money on the situation. Eventually someone tells him a tale, Russians seem to like stories.

”You are not looking for a thief among men. You seek the demon thief, the one to whom evil men pray for good fortune when robbing others. The one who goads good men to steal. It is said he could enter anywhere and steal anything, including souls.”

Seller’s Remorse
When it comes time to sell the Novyet the group realizes Angelo has not yet returned from his wanderings. Surely the local native is not lost and so, for now, his absence doesn’t raise alarm bells. The meet is just outside town, to avoid registering the transaction according to the buyers. Rolling up the group waits for the buyer’s to show - and they do...wielding guns and Sokolov uniforms!
Dangerous Quick Encounter
Par has set up a buy with some of Warlord Sokolov’s men, who happened to pick up the tracking device and put two-and-two together. They may or may not know you killed the previous occupants, but they know you are not Sokolov’s people but are driving his property.

QUICK COMBAT: Fighting, Shooting, arcane skill
Dangerous Encounters: If a character fails his roll in a dangerous situation he takes a Wound (or d4 Wounds with a Critical Failure). If he’s the driver of a vehicle, it takes a Wound (or d4 with a Critical Failure). Wounds may be Soaked as usual. Success means the hero emerges with only Bumps & Bruises (page 125), and a raise means he escapes unscathed.

A dusting of light snow blankets pockets of the forest. The chill and clear day is crisp and refreshing. The half borg mystic follows the others to the clearing to sell the old APC and Damien disappears into the trees to observe from a hidden location. He has been cooped up in the APC for what feels like forever, ill with a fever and cold. However, today he feels better and the frosty air invigorates his body and mind.

When the attack is launched against his team Damien springs into action.

Metal claws, palm lasers, and hydrolic stakes fired from his arm, the Momano Headhunter tears into the attackers.

With an internal groan he realises that the wood-man thingie is already with them unawares!

As he rushes to Par's aid a ditty begins to run through his head, he gives voice as he runs....

"We built this S E T!

"On...

Par realizes he messed up when the men show up in Sokalov's uniforms. His reaction is instant, summoning illusions to make it appear as if the team was groveling for forgiveness, he creates a distraction to allow the rest of the team the room they need to fight and do what must be done.

Frustrated with himself, his decisions most likely cost the team their new ride, and now he had nothing to contribute to show his place in the team.

Par has a slight look of embarrassment on his face that shows even in the wooden grains that remains of him. "Um, no I was just thinking is all." He says trying to deny the truth of what was clearly seen on his face.

Though he denies the feeling, it is obvious the encouraging words helped him however as he is able to snap out of it and get his mind back on task.

Makenna groans to herself when she hears about the Brodkil Empire. She had dealt with one or two in the past, and they were always a pain. An entire empire of them? As confident as she is in herself, she knows they will need a bigger army or an insane amount of luck if they end up heading out that way in search of Angelo's people.

She retrieves her gun from the truck before heading out to the meeting point, although she knows she probably won't need it anywhere near the town. It wouldn't do to miss a shot and accidentally hit an innocent person. Once Sokolov's men reveal themselves, she immediately grabs her pistol and barely takes aim before pulling the trigger.

Run Out of Town Image

Escaping the ambush by Sokolov’s men costs the team their peaceful rest stop. The first fight quickly attracts some of Warlord Orlov’s soldiers to keep the peace and support their sometimes ally—”No one shoots Sokolov men but us!” Six human troops and two cyborgs on fast moving snowmobiles race toward the scene of another 1st SET murder.

While the team might be able to handle this initial security force the place will soon be crawling with soldiers. It is time to beat a hasty retreat westward, hopefully losing them in Brodkil territory and locating Angelo’s family. For his part, Angelo jumps into the truck and starts giving directions.

Reaching out with his mind Par pulls the twists and fates of the universe to force the weapons to not work correctly for the pursuers. Sending subtle suggestions to them, aim more left, perhaps a little higher, or look away instead of at the field of pursuit...


Lower Trait
Rank: Novice
Power Points: 2+7+1+2 = 12 Power Points +2 range if needed?
Range: Smarts
Duration: 5 (boost); Instant (lower)
Lowering an enemy’s Trait has a Duration of Instant and lowers the selected attribute or skill a die type with success, or two with a raise (to a minimum of d4). A victim automatically tries to shake off the effect with a Spirit roll as a free action at the end of his following turns. Success improves the effect one die type, and a raise removes the effect entirely.
Additional castings don’t stack on a single Trait (take the highest), but may affect different Traits.
MODIFIERS
„ ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS (+1): The power may affect more than one target for 1 additional Power Point each.
„ STRONG (+1): Lower Trait only. The Spirit roll to shake off the effect is made at −2.
„ GREATER LOWER TRAIT (+2): For lower Trait the target applies a −2 penalty to the rolls.

Palach nods as @Angelo urges a hasty departure, needing little impetus to put the hammer down. The killer instinct (programming?) only needs the barest opportunity to execute. He twists the wheel early, hoping to catch one of the snowmobile riders under the massive wheels of the Novyet Bear. The pedal sinks to the floor under his foot, and the Bear twists and lunges forward, guided expertly through the blinding light and the arctic terrain. He turns to the other occupants of the ATV. "Is good time to shoot, yes?"

Run Out of Town Image

The sun is high in the cloudless sky shining on the bright white snow, creating a blinding glare. Squinting through the eye watering brightness Makenna manages to be first off the mark and get a little bit ahead of the incoming war knights. As she moves further away from the village the windswept plains are covered in massive snow drifts, making the Novyet Explorer-Sku look like a tiny ship bobbing on an ocean of white.

Seeing the quarry slip away the smaller, more nimble, snowmobiles give hot pursuit trying to swarm the big rig and force it into a snow drift. They barely manage to catch up to the Novyet Explorer-Sku and cannot coordinate themselves enough to force the tracked crawler off course.

The two heavy snowmobiles, carrying massive cyborgs, focus their attention on Palach’s rig. One of them tries to catch up but hits a snow covered rock and goes careening out of control. The cyborg wrestles to get the snowmobile back on track, exposing him to danger (Vulnerable). The second cyborg swerves to avoid the same fate as his partner, and gives Palach an opening to put some distance between them.

Par reaches out with his mind and lowers the concentration of all the drives, reducing their ability to shoot accurately - on top of their self-inflicted problems. Angelo gives directions from the passenger seat, helping Palach navigate the blinding terrain (Support adds +2 to Palach).

With the pursuers somewhat in disarray, Steelbrok opens fire from the roof hatch in the Novyet Explorer-Sku. He puts a lot of fire into the air but the rough bumping and rocking as the Explorer plows through snow banks makes accuracy almost impossible. However, Steelbrok does manage to clip one of them and send the rider flying into the snow.

Seeing one of the cyborgs in a vulnerable state, Palach guns the engine and rams the exposed heavy snowmobile. His massive vehicle collides with the cyborg in a deafening metal-on-metal crunch crushing the snowmobile against some snow covered rocks and sending the cyborg rider flying - with a huge dent in its chassis from Palach’s fender. The construct wheels around and takes off after Makeena.

Bringing up the rear Thursday bleches toxin at the other cyborg chasing Palach but tis advanced environmental system shrug off the poison. Damien rolls down the window and takes a shot at him, but the jostling from ramming the other cyborgs makes his blast go wide.

Palach's eyes and sensors adjust to the better angle of the sun against the snow. The increased visibility allows him to compensate for the degraded terrain, and the Novyet Bear is at home in the morass. He takes another sideswipe at the advancing snowmobiles, then pushes his foot to the floor hoping to leave their carcasses in the snowblind.

Makenna purposely slows the vehicle down a little in order to give her riders a more stable ride to shoot from. It also makes the snow banks a little easier to dodge. She falls behind the other truck, but with the others taking out their pursuers, Makenna is confident that she doesn't have any reason to rush.

Par sees things going well as they flee their pursuers. Looking back at them as they race towards him Par again reaches out to the strands of fate and gives them another little pull. This time causing their ability to drive their vehicles to fail.
But as he reaches out with his power Par finds that he own self doubt and feelings of guilt over the situation are getting in the way of his focus. "Sorry guys, I did not realize it would be his friends. I just thought to find a buyer."

Run Out of Town Image

Palach moves the Bear through the snow banks, sideswiping one of the snowmobiles as he goes. The vehicle careens headlong into a snowbank dumping the driver. While the driver appears okay, the machine is buried deep into the embankment and will take hours to dig out. He is out of the race. Pressing ahead palach can feel the terrain beneath them shift from snow to ice. The great frozen lake groans under the weight of the Bear but holds—for now.

Sadly, Par is overcome with feelings of guilt and inadequacy as he tries to help but sabotages his own success. Instead of assisting he quietly apologizes for creating this mess in the first place. Inside the vehicles, Damien and Angelo hold fast in case any of the snow mobiles get too close. While outside, Bryan does some fancy flying with his jet pack to catch up while avoiding any stray laser blasts. Thursday plods along after Bryan, unsure what to do in this situation.

Slowed by the banks, they snowmobiles also start to zig zag to avoid any more ramming attempts (Evade) by the big Bear. Instead, they pepper the ice beneath it with their mounted machine guns trying to force the ATV into the frozen waters below! The high velocity bullets break the ice beneath the ATV causing water to gush up and send it spinning. The groans turn to loud cracks as the ice begins to break up under Palach’s tires (Distracted, Vulnerable, Driving roll to avoid going Out of Control at -4 (Distracted, Card Conditions).
Ice
Hardness 12, see Breaking Things in Savage Worlds. Damage, no acing: 13, 8, 14, 13. Three successes!
Steelbrok fires back but between the snow banks and their evasive maneuvers he does little more than kick up impressive clouds of snow. The cyborgs open fire from behind trying to light up the Explorer—managing 3 hits!! (21, 5, 23 MD, AP 6. No damage).

New round: No clubs for the Vehicles so the ice holds for now! (although see above for Palach and his vehicle)

Palach is tuned in to his machine. When the gunfire begins chipping away at the ice beneath his ATV, he does what he does best - pushes the pedal to the floor. As the ice gives way, the grippy tires of the Bear keep those within the cab from taking a brisk swim. He clicks his radio and calmly requests aid. "Is maybe a good idea to shoot at the ones chasing us, nyet? Oh. Be careful. Company is shooting the road. Road is becoming lake."

Trying to snap out of it Par decides to use his most powerful ability. After what happened before the experience is something he does not like doing, but this situation is turning out like the other and soon more people will start dying. So reaching out with his mind he touches the minds of each of their minds he tells them. "Turn, flee from here, flee to the ocean as fast as you can and communicate with no one as you go!" Then to himself, "No one needs to die here. Please no one needs to die."

Snowed Under
Gunfire is exchanged as the two groups race at breakneck speeds across an icy lake and then begin to bop over snow banks on the other side. A massive chasm appears on the horizon, with no apparent way around it. With their backs against the wall the team faces a difficult choice fight or flight...literally.

Seeing the difficult situation Par reaches out with his mind, gaining mental control over the two cyborgs and ordering them to flee...and they do! As the massive combat cyborgs turn from the chase, the snow mobile riders follow suit. Whisking away at top speed the frozen plains going from nosy chase to silent waste. Wind whistles along the massive chasm in front of the group as they stand on the edge, as if at the very end of the earth itself.

Finally Angelo speaks up, "My people would not have been able to cross this obstacle." Searching around he finds a symbol scratched into a massive rock and begins to frown. "It is a family symbol. It says they went down."

Open mouthed an watching their enemies suddenly drive off as fast as they can, Steelbrok considers a final burst with Vera but instead shakes his head. He glances at Par who seems to be uncomfortably good at telling people wat to do. Might be useful but part of him is glad he's in Makenna's vehicle crew.

He wonders why on Earth Angelo's people went into the chasm but the lad seems certain, so....

As they start to form up and look for clues to the way forward he sees Par STILL sitting in the cab of his vehicle. Marching over he flings the door open, "Get your backside out here in the cold with the rest of us and put those senses of yours to some decent use!"

Then he turns on his heel and marches off to begin his own scan, setting an example in supporting the team
1d6!!+4 -4 = 5
Ldd1d6!!+4 -4 = 2

Seeing enough boots on the ground for this, he call out, "Bryan, can you make a pass over the chasm to look straight down? Thursday, stay high and look out for anything coming our way> An let's keep the vehicles back from the edge until we know more!"

Thursday continues flying near the group and keeps his eyes peeled for anything that appears out of the ordinary.

"Nothing can evade the sight of a Dragon." Thursday says stroking his ego.

Looking out over the chasm and down into Par is aware of something.

Rolling to assist Par:
1d8!!-4
Ld1d6!!-4
Makenna squints her eyes to peer down into the cavern along with Par and Steelbrok. It's quite a ways down, and impossible to see all the way to the bottom. So instead, she focuses on looking for some sort of pathway that they could follow.

Bryan jets up into the sky a bit, trying to get a better view. Alas the conditions, and even the chasm itself remain a mystery to him. He radios as much, as he hovers back to earth.
