#67 To Cincinati..

REFINERY ONLINE
coded message from the newly upgraded hughbot
http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2011/02/hugh-bot-modified-dynabot-neuro-net-ai.html
to caldor/team long range radio
based on this http://www.palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=120521

"Based on these estimates I have your oil refinery online.
Most gased based vehicles use Fuel Injected Engine and Turbo Engine get 40miles/64km per 1 gallon (~4liters).  So divide range / 40 to see how many gallons the tank is on most vehicles.

Cost for fuel is listed as 200credits per 20gallon/75.7liter capacity (or 10credits per gallon) 

At current experimental capacity we can create 1gallon of fuel per day.  Would you like me to continue making fuel from the crude oil we have?  We have 1000 gallons of crude left in the refinery tanks, as well as a pump system I can repair to pump more crude oil up  from a nearby if we had some capital to build a pump and oil pipeline...
Also Max simpson flew in today carrying Tom twain ... Max's armor is heavily damaged and tom has none left at all..  Max suffered multiple heavy injuries from flak and may not survive he is in a coma...Tom had 3 fingers shot off but is otherwise well and helping my operations.
I've estabished a computer network called THUNDERNET out of scavenged equipment and transmitters and have started doing trade with the guntersville smuggers to find parts for the refinery.
Huntsville population projected to increase as THUNDERNET shortwave enables intermittent connectivity to chitowns entertainment networks...  So far one family of 2 the old Huntsville GAW loyalist Cutters Family have moved into a log cabin they are building across the street from the refinery.  In exchange for my protection they are building wooden parts for the refinery and some moonshine stills.


Drago:


tree kidnapping magic pidgeon from http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2011/02/grey-fox-sioux-paradox-shaman.html "the tree was kidnapped by coalition!"tree being gone into lead vault means drago cannot teleport until its freedom due to the spirit drain from the tree previously working to counteract a curse he suffered.. the curse is now coming back slightly frying his magic..."

#66 From Huntsville to Nashville




Oil Refinery IV by mdomaradzki on deviantART

The group is camped out at Sparticus's oil refinery base, one of the few buildings left standing in Huntsville.


First a few maps of the rivers nearby.  Huntsville ruins are to the right of the red lawrence county marker.



There is a river on the south part of the huntsville ruins flowing east to west into the Mississippi.

The original Huntsville Goldenage Weaponsmith settlers lived in this area:
http://www.wallmu.com/your-wallpapers/redstone-arsenal-map-57356.html
The Army of Thunder Huntsville base is located by the "Auto Skills Center"  on the above map.  Most of the other buildings in the map are rubble.



Gross rd, Rideout rd, Patton Rd, and Martin rd mark the original walls built by the settlers to keep out monsters.  The walls are built from scrap and destroyed vehicles and rubble.  Since the Coalition and Harvestor invasions there are a few holes in the wall..

Player updates:
Herman has been brewing, he gets one last set of rolls to see what he makes.

Caldor gets a bounty hunter update stating Lady Naya is wanted as a fuguative Slave by the Splugorth along with the following bounties at x2 the rate of losses reported to the Federation.   Lady Naya has a 20milion credit bounty for the murder of Petey.  She is being blamed by the Federation of Magic authority for all of the crimes and orchestrating the slave escape.  The bounty demands her return to Nostrous alive for the full bounty or her head for half of the bounty.
bounty shown here, there are also x2 reported loss bounties for the eyes of eyelor, the hawkr duhks and the ogres the players smuggled out of nostrous.
http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2014/06/65-law-order-nostrous.html

Caldors biowizard implant demands more blood..  He feeds it the Eye of Eyelor

Lady Naya:  Cyberknight council sends her a magic pidgeon along with instructions for Herman to patch video relay in to the cyberknight council once the city of Cincinnati is under surveillance.  Orders are to mark potential targets for an air-strike but not engage.
rules to mark a target:
1) program a target into the targeting computer
Computer Hacking +10 (@ Lv 3) claimed by herman is actually computer programming, this is a req for computer hacking so if you want hacking first you need programming.
2) confirm computer has target coordinates
3) transmit coordinates to cyberknight command
4) await the advance order, continue to reconnoiter further targets around the perimeter do not engage, its important not to get your squad caught in an air strike.

Drago:  Denali sends him a magic pidgeon summons.
"I know you had something to do with the last slave breakout.  Your lordship is in peril unless you come to the federation offices and hire my services as a lawyer to clear your name.  I am sure we can come to some..arrangement.  The splugorth you offended won't be so gentle so I suggest you settle.  If you wish to tender my services as your lawyer in this dispute I can have both the female cyberknight freed and negotiate down the cost of your damages settlement.  Some moneies will have to change hands if you wish your place in the federation to stay secure.  I hope you will see resaon.  Your human and kreeghor minions are accused of theft of splugorth property, murder of splugorth minion by magic, and destruction of splugorth property.   I suggest you make your decision quickly as the splugorth has other ideas in mind for his recompense. - Denali"





Ogres:
Use these stats +50sdc, they claim to have studied under "Mulan" at the academy in Atlantis. They construct a crude leanto next to the huntsville base but refuse to join the army of thunder. They tend to follow the dragons lead more than humans.
http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2009/09/mulan-tatoo-warrior.html


locations:
the tree:
drago sees some indians while teleporting to the tree he gets a psychic message from the tree "go back your friends are in danger"

Herman gets caldor to help the folsons at merls request building a rough shelter for them.  Merl, Betti Lou and Hughbot remain behind at the base.

After sorting out things at base the group decides to scout Cincinati, on their way they travel the prerifts highway finally coming to...

Nashville:

The group rolls up and see 2 demon locusts, a huge monolith with dimensional portal residue at the top, 6 cultists and a bunch of people being sacrificed.

 ready to be sacrificed, guarded by normal harvestors
Sparticus stays back in his enforcer and uses a few explosive mini missles and mostly uses his laser turret.
There is a huge battle, drago gets 8 day luck cursed by one Demon Locust and battles it in hand to hand.
Lady Naya keeps the second locust busy while Herman scores deadly hits with his mobil hunter rail cannons.
Naya gets befuddled by hidden harvestors who were trying to sacrifice people to bring forth more demons to witness the endof the world!  She fights on... helping to kill one demon locust, the other dimensionally teleports out when it sees its friend die to rail cannon fire..  The Harvestors flee under the cover of invis + cloak of darkness to hide thermal... 

The party helps 5 unwounded and 4 wounded girls.  Naya saves the 4 girls who where hanging from meat hooks at the sacrifice sites lives with paramedic.  They are from the CS state of Missouri and are lead by Jeanie Mcfarlan a proud looking young girl with auburn hair.

The group sets up camp as night falls over the Nashville ruins...
