0005h - Ruined Village – 1120 19 JUL 2000

The group encounter a ruined village. The encounter distance is 120m. Since they have not found a derelict, the group decide to investigate the village on the odd chance that there is something useful.

Also searching the ruined village is a group of marauders. The marauders detect the characters but the characters do not detect the marauders. The marauders decide to let the characters get closer until they are within 70m, as this will be within medium range of most of their weapons.
