============================
Those medics and their guards headed for the hill. What was left was the smell of burnt powder mixed with colored smoke drifting out of the garage. I remember someone in civilian clothes being bundled in beside and Can-Can backing up so Harris could cover the street.
Our dismount team removed the barrier and then, to add insult to injury, stole the truck with the medical supplies. We achieved the goal but at what price? We could not possibly kill all the Soviets in town so our existence may be the cat that someone let out of the bag. Time would tell.
Post 100 – a new milestone. Thank you to all my readers and those that have chosen to give me feedback. Thank you all!
The team is still dealing with the aftermath of the fight and ringing ears. The aid station troopers have been driven off, but they are most likely to contact others. A counter-attack may be in the making.
The Soviet guards at the barrier took a beating, with three KIA and two WIA, both of them seriously. The rest of the station personnel escape through the exits in the rear, with the help of a couple smoke grenades.
Marshall and Klasha are both seriously wounded, with the rest have a mixture of scratch or slight wounds. Wally is the only unwounded character in the group.
There is also a seriously wounded civilian who was caught in the crossfire between the groups. Logan was patching him up as the fight ended.
Now how to continue. The team wants to recover the medical supplies thought to be in the aid station. They will also want to make their escape. There is also the issue of the wounded civilian. A final issue would be the possible counter-attack by the remaining Soviet forces.
First of all, the medical supplies. Macron and Griffin will cross the barrier and search for medical supplies. The team will search the tent first.
At this point, we will need help from the GME. Since the team did account for themselves well but the situation went downhill at the start, we will leave the Chaos Rank at 6. Now, are there medical supplies in the tent? It is a four-man tent, so being rather small, it is unlikely, but you never know.
[GME: Are the medical supplies stored in the tent? - Chaos Rank 6 – Unlikely (50%) - 87% - No]
The only other logical conclusion is that they are in the truck. It would be possible to search the truck, but that would take time. It is probably better to just take the truck.
I am making the assumption that the environment has an influence and since military vehicles often do not have actual keys, it is possible and realistic to day that the truck is ready to roll. To be sure, we can ask the GME.
[GME: Can the truck be driven away? - Chaos Rank 6 – Very Likely (90%) - 64% - Yes]
So, Macron and Griffin will board the truck and prepare to move out. In order to move out, the barrier has to be opened. Since the truck obviously drove into the garage, it must be possible to open the barrier by moving the wrecks. Luckily we have our two strongest characters (Robinson and Potato) there to move the wreck. It should not be impossible so we will make it difficult. The two together have a combined Strength asset of 15.
[Push a wreck out of the way – Asset Level 15 – Difficult (x1) – Target Number 15 – Roll(s): 6] – Success.
The wreck grinds over the concrete floor but the two manage to open a space for the truck.
The next issue is the wounded civilian. They are seriously wounded. First Logan has to work his wonders on him (1-3) or her (4-6). The civilian is male and seriously wounded.
[Perform first aid on the civilian – Asset Level 17 – Difficult (x1) – Target Number 17 – Roll(s): 7] – Success.
Logan patches up the civilian and then has Potato and Robinson man-handle them into Can-Can. It is doubtful that the Russians will want to take care of the civilian, given their track record on treatment of the sick civilians. Wally backs the OT-64 back onto the street and prepare to make a run for the city limits.
The list issue is one of a possible counter-attack. Although there are almost 200 Soviets in the town, they are not all gathered in the area but spread out throughout the town. In addition, looking through their equipment list, they have very few anti-tank weapons, meaning they have little hope of dealing with the OT-64. Still, we should see if they at least want to get in some parting shots.
[GME: Will the remaining Soviets counter-attack? - Chaos Rank 6 – Very Unlikely (50%) - 36% - Yes]
So, a team will return to drive off the intruders. No rest for the wicked, as they say.
