Rescue the Ortonvillagers

4th melee later the 2 enforcers come online and a platoon of deadboys emerge from the building next to it.
Inside the main barracks building are another 5 Squads of S&D Bravo Company(p28sb1).
Inside the hangar is the battle tank from before, now running. The APCs are gone but the tank bears marks of paint the color of the APCs and is still scrached from where it was obviously towed to the base. There are also two small CS fighter Jets.

All the CS troops are slain or driven off.

Lo-Pei steals one of the jets and uses it to shoot down an incoming Deaths head transport before fleeing. Sparticus steals the other jet, and Kid steals the tank. They take the convoy out of the area with the villages back inside their cattle cars. At the border of Mizereen they are hailed by a Flying Boat Police Patrol. The adventures meet with the Mizereen forces and make some deals with them before being given an escourt back to Tolkeen. At tolkeen they sell the Jet and Tank to Kid for about 14 million black market credits.
Prominent Prisoners:



Space Time Kid.This rugged young man is wearing a ripped t-shirt. You can see he has this tattoo across his chest. With a broken nose smiles and says “what took you so long?” He is badly beaten and has fresh prisoner tattoos bleeding on the back of his neck. He sighs a relief muttering “finally” and after finding smokes on a dead trooper lights up and sits contentedly watching the carnage and nodding. “Just get me back to Tolkeen, I’ll make it worth your while. Kid asks for “a radio, give me any peice of shit radio NOW”… and starts making radio scrambler rolls…65% 1min per try, and he gets progressively frantic. ..

Lo-Pei“These are my cousins, Fo-Pei and Go-Pei, my “War-Troll Warriors” Fo-Pei has a black eye and Go-Pei has his arm in a crude splint of some kind wraped with a clearly bloodstained bandage. (assume coordinates are somewhere on the way back to Tolkeen)
The Esteemed Mister and Missus Orton (Orton is a comatose walrus-like Dbee who has been nearly beaten to death and his family (wife, 2 daughters) who care for him. Recognized as mayor of Ortonville. The Ortons are all Mystics. (9th, 5th, 1st,1stlevels respectively). He will need emergency care immediately or he will die.
300 nameless human villagers

50 human children

25 extremely malnourished dbee children

They mention that before the players came… there were twice as many but over half were killed when they refused to work after a child was blinded by one of the old machines.

They say they heard the troops discussing how Underhill never used to be like this until he started studying under the notorious General Drogue. And how now they have to waste time beating on lame refugees instead of going after the real menaces of Tolkeen.
Upon returning to Tolkeen, a full 100 of the villagers will beg the characters for something, anything to help them get by! Ronin gives them 50k, or about 333cr a peice from his share of the funds raised by selling Kid the tank and jet.
These villagers have little but the clothes on their backs. The other half have some relatives or friends in the city who will take them in. Of the villagers who are left, Valen manages to convert 75 of them and now has an army of rabel following him around.

100 ortonvillager refugees currently have a shanty town built on the front lawn of MAGE’s father’s estate in Tolkeen. The neighbors are starting to stare, but MAGE’s father is not home to see their admonishing stares…

“MAGE Shantytown” currently has a population of 25 Adults ,50 human children and 25 malnourished d-bee children. They are lead by a 50year old woman named Joan and her 3 daughters.

Update 11/1/2007: To make things interesting I decided a new player has to start 1 level below the lowest level in the group. So Sparticus starts at 3rd level.� His background consists of petty crimes with Dameon, followed by one big failed heist which landed him in prison.

Valen, Dorgo and Torgo (3rd,2nd lvl Vagabonds), and 75 Ortonvillager refugees converts are also still with the party. They have used their 333cr to purchase rations and supplies and are ready to make the holy pilgrimage back to what remains of the Dragonwright church.

Profit: Sale of CS Grinning Skull Battle Tank and 1 GF-1A Attack Plane to Kid netted 12mil black market credits?
