#58 Huntsville Alabama solar eclipse

Eclipse by ~A4size-ska on deviantART

There is a solar eclipse which effects magic in Huntsville... Drago and Bluey are empowered.  Drago uses the power to show others the ritual of create steel mummy.  Drago creates mummy pigs from the victims of missle blasted pig remains.

The group gets the pings of enemy radar scans... and then incoming missles.

About 350 pigs remain after missle blasts from an unknown assailent attacked the party.

Hughbot figures out the ritual by watching drago and also manages to create a steel mummy pig from the ambient ppe magic energies.

Caldor's symbiot continues to crave drago after tasting dragon blood.  Caldor can almost detect drago with his eyes closed...

After creating the pigs  the pigs are left to guard the huntsvill oil refinery base of the army of thunder.

the group rushes to camp Beta... towards the direction the missles came from.

Drago cast invincible armor on everyone and miraculously deflect as well, the eclipses power bending the laws of magic.. (or gems forgetting them ;)

On the way bluey is hit by a medium range missle, his jetbike slagged only his invincible armor protects him from death.

Caldor runs across the ground and hits a few landmines, charging up..

Skimmers and flying quickly apear, shooting weak energy rays and a few mini missles during strafing runs...

Finally reaching the camp they see a huge ruin, there is a tower with 3 heavy guns and duegar manning them.  There is also a Naruni Juggernaught hovertank with a duegar sitting in the turret top protected by the forcefield.

The head duegar casts call lightning at caldor, it bounces off caldors force field.

Others get hit by howitzer blasts and much of the magical protections cast upon the group are disapated from the blasts by the start of melee round #2...

The Tank has drive quickly through a rift which appears behind the buildings.  The building defenders take aim and you hear the faint sound of evil laughter from the other side of the rift...

#57 Alabama Camp Alpha

One day before the solar eclipse...

Gun Girl (2) by *Sedorrr on deviantART

Qsuzy sends a radio message "rumored 2 concentration camps full of slaves to be harvested have been set up. around GAW HQ...  the original inhabitants have been driven out and fight a secret war against their CS and now demonic oppressors...Huntsville clans all but whiped out, Guntersville has sworn blood vengeance but their tech is too poor to do much but slow them down...if we could contact some guntersville boys we might have a chance at some backup... "  after successful comp op+radio basic she sends coordinates to the camps...

After some negotiating with QSUZY they decide to go to alpha first.  She promises a CS supply crate drop if they can go after beta.

Sparticus gives Jimmy & John his 2 rescued men at the base 1 platnum bar worth 100k.
The big jet is left in the airport outside of town.  The small jet is infront of the base.

Bluey, Drago & Caldor head west towards camp alpha..  Everyone else stays in the Hunstville base.

Caldor's parasite biowizard implant gets hungry, drago feeds it some dragons blood.

On the way west the group sees a heard of 112 Chimeras, they avoid them.

Sneaking to the base there is a small firefight before the Duergar guards are dispacted.  The base has 4 small tents and 4 medium tents as well as 1 building.  After the guards are dispatched the people kept in the camp all run off.  It looked like mostly huntsville and guntersville folk.

Digging around the players also find a huge cache of gold, 40mil 2500lbs worth which they pack onto their vehicles (?) and start heading back east...

Qsuzy sends bluey an encrypted radio message "I can't guarantee your families saftey back in lone star if you refuse to rescue those in concentration camp BETA run by the harvestors. We looked you up after spotting your crew. There arn't many heelers serving the CS.

Your own cousins are held in a concentration reprogramming camp outside loanstar after it was discovered you went missing under mysterious circumstances. If you rescue those in camp beta I will give you the coordinates to these pups (blueys cousins) http://i.imgur.com/Pg5MKZU.jpg

During battle with harvestor minions sparticus finds slaves in cages and rescues 7.  There was a threat to the jet but he managed to fly away before a magical harvestor directed storm damaged it.

 Players argue about what to do next.  They finally get coordinates to two camps, one for CS one for locals. (BETA/ALPHA)

#55 Guntersville

The story of the Corn.

Once our ancestors lived primitive existences similar to your earth corn.  Weather by chance our dimensions corn developed powerful psionic defenses.  We used these to communicate and build a culture based on empathy towards others, there were no advanced species on our home plannet other than us so we had no reason to invent mamilan war instincts or lust for conquest.  But later we were discovered, and our kind enslaved and sold to a thousand dimensions as a magic rich staple food product and energy source for foul mages across the megaverse.  Enslaved we often were partial lobotomized by a cloning process by which immature clones are created by taking cuttings and artificicaly tricking them into growing into a complete new person of the corn.  These immature being are the ones the farmers of your planet have been coherced into planting for The Company.

The awakend Z/Blue hybrid learns ritual of "Commune with Corn Person"  this lets him channel d4x10 ppe per willing living corn person.  Not all are healthy enough to do this.

corn also knows location of  something important... the camp with the captured GAW populace.


heavily wounded cs dogpack squad led by partial borg female psi stalker makes radio contact with jet earlier...


"Delta one niner Jet Aircraft this is Qsuzy.  we have a common interest land at coordinates xyz if you wish vengance on the spire.  Demonic agents have taken over senior command in this CS outpost you destroyed and threaten the region more by the day.  Their numbers are growing.  "


Players see some harvestors and a hoard of zombies,  there is a pitched battle where The juicer charges in and get shockwaved by a harvestor before the group prevails driving the harvestors off.  They get a blown out harvestor truck with a combat computer belonging to the guntersvill smuggers who used to run the truck before it was stolen by harvestors.  The truck has records of money transfers to a club in tolkeen...

Players rescue kids in a crate on back of the truck and drive them to phils truckstop in Guntersvill to the south.   There are only a few shacks plus the truckstop in the Guntersville ruins, surrounded by makeshift camps of squatters hidden in some of the most sturdy buildings.  Guntersvile is not a city just a truckstop in the middle of the wasteland protected by Phil and his family and supported by the other Guntersville clansmen. 

Then the group returns to the Huntsville base.

Some deals were made with the original two rescued smugglers, later brick and brack two biker smugglers from guntersvill supplies the group (if useful skill rolls were made or bribes paid)
