After the TCDL meeting MAGE and Drago met a techno-wizard named Null from tolkeen who offered to take them after the villagers in his Behemoth explorer robot vehicle. After many failed land navigation rolls they are currently…somewhere outside of town possibly near the old tracks left by the retreating Skeleton Raider convoy. After bashing a Devil unicorn to death with his robot while MAGE Sub particle accelerated it, Null pulls the robots hand from the ground where it was stuck after the battle.After 2 minutes of checking the half eaten remains the beast had in its mouth, the sounds of whooping can be heard and the beating of galloping hooves…something is approaching quickly through the underbrush ahead of the river clearing where the Devil Unicorn attacked earlier..
NULL hears the sounds and unexplicably plods off into the forest in his giant robot vehicle, leaving MAGE and Drago behind. Shortly after Ronan meets up with them, Dorgo and Porgo in tow riding a beat up motorcycle. They too are looking for the tracks of the APCs. Porgo mutters about the revenge he will have upon the CS scum who have slain his cousins and kin when suddenly….!
From with in the forest is thrown a spear. Lord Murgush and the Vulchers of Tolkeen are operating in this area. Porgo is greviously wounded by the spear, and Ronan nearly kills Murgush’s mount with his railgun. Murgush offers his aide in hunting the coalition is and is denied by the group. Since Murgush is a member of the TCDL, MAGE decides not to kill him and his dinosaur riding tribe.Finding again the APC tracks leads to a camp in western Wisconsin, like the layout at p106.ts5On their way a CS sky cycle patrol of 2 spots them.The camp is made of chainlink fence only (50SDC/10ft), and to the left of it lies a base under construction. Only the foundations have been poured so far.The camp consists of 24 cabins in shabby condition, and a few heavy military looking buildings with antennas on top, along with a hangar and a few guard towers made of steel every so often along the fence.
The troops inside have cleared at least 1000ft on any given side of derbies and have a clear line of fire to anything approaching.
At any given time at least 3 platoons (8 each) of live soldiers and 24 skelebots can be seen guarding the fence in the posts.
Parked outside the Hangars is a banged up Mechanized Search and Destroy Ground Squad 2IAR-1s
to the left of the base you see some 100 of the citizens of Ortonville working with pick-axes on the foundation of the structure being built. A few of the workers have dangerous looking mining equipment which looks ancient, dented and scratched. Each is attached to a huge drum of fuel fed into the machine with a long black hose.
Watching them is a psi-emblemed coalition soldier, and 7 dogboys.
Drago teleports to one of the tower’s soldiers manning the walls, while MAGE and Ronan use invisibility:superior from MAGE’s Eyelor harness to sneak up to one of the IAR-1s. Mage casts Mystic:Portal to enter it while the Dogpack howl in dismay at the magical incursion. MAGE gives him a keycard stolen earlier which by a stroke of luck activates the IAR-1.
Ronan watches in dismay as MAGE blasts happless Ortonvillagers, mining equipment, and a few Dogpack watching them. Ronan then takes control of all the guns (only he can actualy pilot the robot) and demolishes most of the Coalition forces. 6 Skelebots finally manage to shut down his stolen robot with heavy sustained laser fire.
1st mellee: 24 soldiers & 6 skelebots per side attack, Drago whipes out one tower’s worth. Porgo and Dorgo attempt to charge across towards the base on their motorcycle, promptly hit a land mine, and retreat back into the forest badly injured.
2nd melee 6 more skelebots arrive Drago whipes out a second tower after teleporting out and back in gurilla style. Ronan and MAGE blow up the guard towers, some dogpack and skelebots with the hijacked IAR-1.
3rd melee the first IAR comes online and battles the stolen one. Both are shutdown in battle as 6 more skelebots arrive peppering them with lasers.
