0115 - The Great Escape - Part VIII - Stopping the Bleeding

 1130 08 AUG 2000, Zdunska Wola, Poland
===================================
"We pulled back to an abandoned garage. Sentries were posted and Logan patched everyone up as best they can. I looked through the stuff we captured and gave the Poles the evil eye to stop them from complaining. It was an act of mercy that they could sit there and think about complain-ing. They could have ended up like their friend."

The team has collected the wounded Poles as well as checking out their dead. The team recov-ers:

  •     2x PP-19 with 7 magazines and 40 loose rounds of 9x18mm
  •     AK-74 with 3 magazine and 20 loose rounds of 5.45x39mm
  •     Steel Helmet
  •     3 Rations of Wild Food (1.0 Encumbrance)
  •     2 Rations of Domestic Food (0.5 Encumbrance)
  •     2 Fragmentation Grenades
  •     1 White Phosphorus grenade
  •     1 Antitank Grenade
  •     3 Packs
  •     1 Axe


The team (as well as the Poles) have taken some hits. Currently the following team members (and POWs) are wounded:

PC / NPC Name Hit Capacity
Griffin 3/5
Harris 3/5
Potato 4/6
Robinson 3/5
Macron 3/5
Polish soldier #1-5 3/5
Polish soldier #1-6 Dead
Polish soldier #1-7 0/5 (Incapacitated)

Not a good start of things, but that is how it goes sometimes and at least we are not dead. Now to get to some healing. Logan is our resident Sawbones, and he has an Empathy of B (D10) and Medical Aid B (D10). He has a Doctor's Medical Kit, which gives him a +2 Modifier. In addition, he has the Combat Medic specialty, which give him +1 when rolling Medical Aid on an incapaci-tated person, like our friend Polish soldier #1-7.

Triage is setup and we work from those hurt the most to the scratches. We can start with the Polish soldier #1-7, who is currently incapacitated.  Logan has a total of +3 (+2 Doctor's Medical kit, +1 Combat Medic), stepping up both this base and skill die to D12 and adding a D6. The re-sults are of the 8,11,4 (3 successes). Logan manages to bring the Pole back to the world of con-sciousness and even pep him up a bit, restoring three hit points. Now for the rest.

We want attend to everyone else. Since they are not incapacitated, Logan will only receive the +2 modifier for the doctor's medical kit. A successful roll will also prevent infection, but Logan will not use the antibiotics just yet. We do not have as much as we once did after losing Can-Can.

The results are:

PC / NPC Name Roll Result Hit Capacity
Griffin 2 Succ. 5/5 (no infection)
Harris No Succ. 3/5 (infection)
Potato 4 Succ. 6/6 (no infection)
Robinson 1 Succ. 4/5 (no infection)
Macron 3 Succ. 5/5 (no infection)
Polish soldier #1-5 2 Succ. 5/5 (no infection)

Harris comes away with an infection and will start to show symptoms tomorrow, but that is a problem for another day.

Wally let the Poles know that they will not be getting their stuff back and after some talk of him being a traitor and so, it must be obvious that the group means business.

The Steel Helmet and AK-74 go to Klasha, as she is vulnerable with just her pistol and no armor. Wally can reload one of his mags with the loose rounds of 5.45x39mm. Harris grabs the antitank and WP grenades.  Robinson grabs the frags to replace the one he used and a little extra never hurt. Macron straps the axe to his pack, because, well, you never know. Marshall will trade in her PM-64 for a PP-19 with 4 magazines, the other, along with the PM-64 and three magazines for each, are stuffed into Robinson's pack. Finally, the resident cook Griff packs away the food.

Enough of dividing up the spoils, time to get back to the problem at hand.
