Game Notes — Level up 7
Timeline is about 240 years after Coalition War Campaign (2632 AD, 346PA)
As we waited for the remaining Xiticix to charge around the 6000ton Ice cube that crushed their friends and siblings, Ted ran out and tried to setup several IEDs, he managed to set up 1. As the Xiticix ran up, the IED managed to take out 1 and wound a few others. I wounded another of the 60 remaining Giant bug hoard, Ryan launched a barrage of grenades, and Tim firebombed the charging mass, a couple more fell filling the air with the odor of charbroiled ampho and locust.
Two charred leapers cleared the wall, landing amongst the caravaniers, grabbing one each, and leaping back towards their insectoid kin, eviscerating them in the air coating their brethren with Human remain war paint. I switched to melee for the leapers jumping on the wall, as Ryan continued with Grenades killing more, Teds used the plasma cannon Tim switched to Magic Flame thrower roasting several. More leapers carried off a couple more of the caravan crew.
A pair of Xiticix super warriors appeared on scene in the back of the remaining buggy hoard, Ted seeing the big bois,thought he would try using one as a dart board and threw his spear at it. I cut a leaper in half on the wall as another leapt and grabbed Ryan attempting to carry him off, Ted reached out and pulled Ryan free, Ryan failing his dex save face planted back on the wall. Tim switched up to finger blasting, the hoard now at the base of the wall, Ryan explodipated the Leaper that tried to grab him. Ted shifted to shooting one of the super warriors with the plasma canon.
As a couple more jumped on the wall, I proceeded to ginsue them, with Tim, Ted and Ryan along with our Transformers charbroiling more than a few Roidbro grasshoppers, Just before one of the leapers landed on Tim, K.O.ing him to meet the Grandfather. Ryan pulled Tim to medics, As 2 Large truck sized Beetles entered and started Keening, Like a Cicada, fucked a Air Raid Siren, this appeared to be a retreat signal as the remaining toasty Dolf Lungren sized exomorphs pulled back, and retreated.
We cleaned up our dead, packed the survivors, and road off into the not sunset at least a 75 miles away at dusk and the next river. Tim setup walls around the convoy camp, He also summoned magic wolves to act as sentries. After a couple hours, the wolves detected and harassed a Xiticix Assassin, Tim bombarded the extra large and spicy bug, destroying the area. The Roadies worked through the night building a bridge over the river, clearing the way to the next river crossing and finishing a second bridge across the second nearby river.
The next morning we continued past those town rivers on to the last river arriving late in the day, setting up another camp for the convoy, with walls and wolves summoned by the mighty Tim the magician. Within just a few minutes the wolves detected another Super fun sized Assassin bug, instead of having the wolves harass it, Tim just Meteor Struck the area destroying a portion of the nearby forest.
The next morning we continued across the new bridge over the once St. Croix River, and made it to the rebuilt town of Tolkeen. We got a timeline reference that it was 240 post CS war Campaign. The convoy unloaded and distributed the supplies, and rest for a couple days. The town was surprised we survived the trek, as the corridor we used is distinctly within the expanded Xiticix territory.
The caravan decided to head back to Lazlo, hearing that the path we used wasr in Bug territory, plus the losses sustained from the battle with the Xiticix war party. They chose to travel back via a south eastern route through coalition territory. We bid them safe travels, as being empty, the CS would mostly leave them alone, unlike the rest of us.
We stayed for a couple weeks, Tim found a Tech-wizard that he got to make a pair of PPE batteries (500PPE), Ted found a couple demolitionists, to teach him about “Spicy” explosives. I worked as an operator fixing the town’s various tech items.
