In For a Benny #6 - The Truck
Last time we looked in our team they were raiding the security armor located in Benny Colony and had found several blasters, food, spare clothing, and other goods that would be critical to evacuating refugees in what was a collapsed colony following a horde of zombies purportedly unleashed from the hospital and science center of the colony. Survivors are scattered across the colony, but the party managed to make contact with the organized resistance in the region. The party decided to search the armory first and found the building being ransacked by wolf barbarian raiders of the Crimson Claw clan. Having dealt with most of the raiders, including a minor war boss named Hephaestus, the party now had to decide how they were going to move the gear.

Q: Did Raider #1 summon more raiders with the cargo truck?
A: Yes.Element Alterations? Y - Decrease major element.
The zombies are either too scattered or not particularly interested in the armory as they have yet to respond, the only trouble is coming down the road from a cargo truck that Crimson Claws are using.
Does Ozzie hear the sound? Perception: 18 - Success, he does hear the truck’s engine and he is able to alert the others.

“A struggle, but this is also an opportunity,” Morrigan noted as she charged her blaster.
“These guys are going to be on alert, though, probably led by the one that got away,” Starkweather said.
“They’ll be ready, we’ll be ready,” Morrigan said, accepting the situation and hoping for the odds being her favor over theirs.

The truck began to rumble towards the entrance. The driver and veteran ignoring Rockefeller (Raider #1 from last session)'s repeated warnings and believing that any resistance would crumble at the sound of a vehicle.

Starkweather holds up the slug rifle and waraxe, setting them against the wall: “We can’t take you with us to where we need to go. It would also be a death sentence to let you wander unarmed. So this is the deal, and the only one you’ll get. Your rifle is loaded, your waraxe is there. You have your rations and canteen.” Starkweather picked up another canteen from a falling raider and tosses it to Raider #3. “There’s more water. You don’t try to follow us, and we’re taking the cargo truck. Where you go is your business, but if you try anything there will be no mercy.”
The Raider glared at Starkweather for a moment before blinking, he was taken aback by the mercy being shown. As Starkweather walked off, the Raider kept staring before finally moving to gather his things. He looked up a short whistle and saw Morrigan standing nearby with her Blaster SMG drawn.
“Don’t get any ideas at this moment. Just walk away,” She said.
Raider #3 stood up and then turned to walk away. He slipped down an alley and was gone.

The party heard it before they drew close to the refugee center. Morrigan managed to move through an alley that avoided detection, but even though she could not see it, she could hear the exchange of gunfire. Ozzie and Victor got out and moved to the edge of the alley, when Ozzie looked around the corner, he could see the side of the refugee building and the shape of bodies from the psycho zombies. He was not sure if the building had fallen, but there was an on-going attack occurring in the area.
