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.
Current Party:
MAGE (7th 42990) +50 greedy stealing of tank and ignoring combat, +100 saving orton villagers, +150 playing in alignment by giving most of tank credit to ronin (raised back to abberant from miscreant).+50 portal attempt into enforcer +100 heroic action allowing shanty town on Dad’s front lawn(43540)
Kash the Elven Mystic (4th 9550) saving dameon with healing and ithan magic +400,+50 ithaning Ronan, +100 saving orton villagers (10,100)
Ronin the True Atlantean Cyberknight (5th 24928) +400 watching my dog 2 weeks ago +100 saving orton villagers, saving mister orton+50 heroic action, killing 2 enforcers+150 major menaces,6 CS soldiers +150, 2 CS RPA elite+50,+50 skills,+100 bartering rp +100rp of killing the laser pistol only armed CS enforcer pilots bringing him to unprincipled (”never kill for pleasure will always attempt to bring villain in to justice ALIVE”) Ronan is now 6th level and is currently Unprincipled. “attempted to bring pilots in alive, sort of”. (26078)
Drago the Hatchling(5th 29316)+100 saving orton villagers, deception +100, surviving 2 CS RPA elite veterns who fusion block themselfs when he rips open the pilots compartment. +100 creepy feeding charred dragon flesh from cut off tail to starving villagers +50 finding Tolkeen Dragon Domes, +50 trading dimensional portal scroll to learn Close Rift. +50 fleeing to tree with CS weapons cases (one is destroyed by a mine left at the base of the Tree, the tree is now badly charred).+50 getting wartroll power armor,+100 applying for Magic College,+100 buying Tarns Diary about the Coalition Seige,+50 scroll hunting. Drago is now 6th Level (30096)
Sparticus the Zapper (3rd 4101) shrewdness +100(not landing jet until his cut was discussed), clever idea that may have saved lives(disable enforcer missles) +200, skills +175, +50 asking for psi implants from Kid,+50 getting wartroll power armor,+50 zapping soldiers,+100 freed from 10 year armed robbery sentence in CS prison (4826)
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.
Dameon the Bandit(5th 16501) Guts (charging enforcers and soldiers in battle with Ronin to get a clear shot)+100, self sacrifice (not giving up after being shot)+100, killing 1 CS soldier +100, +125 skills +100 failing to read sign and college of magic +100 wanting a bowflex for sale on a note at college,+50 selling pile of stolen CS guns to Kid,+50 asking for hoverbike +50 asking for missle launcher for bike, +100 freed from 10 year armed robbery sentence in CS prison(17376)
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?

Search for the Ortonvillagers
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.
XP from the first 45 seconds of battle:
