Zombie-girl by ~superhawkins on deviantART

Zombie army closes in on the group holed up in Sparticus's Oil Refinery Base.  Players take shots at them destroying them easily..

Sparticus spends time tinkering with an ICBM in the basement before getting called upstairs.

Group assemble on the roof to destroy zombies.

Lida turns out to be a secret zombie spy who beats bluey into a coma.  Her armor is blown off before she escapes.  Caldor guards bluey.

The group meets Guntersvill Ed and Mell, they are spying on the group with a sensor unit while riding on motorcyles.  Seeing the hoard of zombies they flee to the base and give data on the upcoming rift activity.

As the solstice arrives players find a rift going to the home harvester dimension.  On the other side they see a pile of gold and a lead harvester surrounded by zombies.  Many ready for sacrifice including drago are present.  Drago is chained down.  At one point caldor was blinded by witchling magic...
There was a battle where the boss compulsed herman to fight for him and caldor shot a 12 mini missle volly at the boss destroying him and an area around him is cleared.
 sparticus runs in psi swords off the chains and drago and the rest of the group scoop up gold before fleeing through the rift.  Unstable the rift closes after the leaders death.

Dragos previous belonging are at an unknown location.

The Guntersville smugglers met earlier trade goods in Rifts Mercenaries made by Golden Age weaponsmiths along with some ammo and light repairs.  Drago trades Ed for 10 Plasma Mines and 4 High explosives Mines.

The group holes up in the Huntsville base and counts their gold...
