1. FORWARD
SITTING inside his tent with a wet, smelly TEUFF sprawled almost everywhere, a wet, smelly OLE DAWGIE is listening to the torrential rain pounding on it, the howling wind (no, not TEUFF's howling wind, the other howling wind!) and crashing thunder outside. poor OLE DAWGIE blows snot out of his big red, sore, nose, wipes it, and stares glumly through the open tent flap. . . .
"HERE i sit, wet, cold, miserable, probably catching me death, in a howling wasteland full of nasty critters, muties and people who would all like an OLE DAWGIE BURGER (TM) made from one of me backsides, with only OLE TEUFF as a bud and helper, on a quest to avenge DIRTY MEG's massacred home town, while all me mates are hanging out back in town, trying to get into DIRTY MEG's drawers when they should be out here, seeking red handed revenge on the muties for killing all of MEG's folks . . ."
OLE DAWGIE blew his nose like a flesh bugle, wiped on his least clean sleeve, and returned to watching the rain fall. eventually, the rain begins to blow into the open tent flap; with a curse OLE DAWGIE closes same. TEUFF snores on. . .
TIME _slowly_passes. . .
AS time passes, OLE DAWGIE reflects upon recent events in the BRITTAINIA WASTELANDS . . .
FOUR days ago, news arrived with a trader paying his usual visit to the burg OLE DAWGIE calls home. the big news was that the MUTIE MEN, led by a warlord named NOGGSIE, had attacked and sacked the settlement of CHEESY CRACK. most of the settlers were killed during the fighting, or taken prisoners during the sacking; a few escaped and fled to other settlements or went into hiding in the wastelands. this would normally have been considered bad news, but, what made it REALLY BAD NEWS is that CHEESY CRACK is DIRTY MEG's hometown, her MA, PA. sister and brother were among those whose fate was unknown. DIRTY MEG was screaming for bloody revenge on NOGGSIE'S MUTIE MEN, and screaming at OLE DAWGIE (her live in squeeze) to get off his big butt AND DO SOMETHING!!!!!
OLE DAWGIE tried to organize a posse to chase down these MUTIE MEN, save any prisoners, and teach them a bloody lesson they would not soon forget . however, due to the sudden and unexpected shrinking of what had been ground dragging natz among the fit manhood of the burg, OLE DAWGIE found out that his "posse" consisted of OLE DAWGIE and OLE TEUFF, his gigantic mutant bulldog . . . DIRTY MEG proclaimed that she was sure OLE DAWGIE and TEUFF could handle 40 or 50 MUTIE MEN by themselves . . . if OLE DAWGIE expected to pass through her GATES OF PARADISE any time within the next 40 or 50 years.
NOW it is almost sunset, OLE DAWGIE's belly growls; OLE TEUFF's growls even louder than his snoring. for a tad OLE DAWGIE is tempted to eat the last chunk of TINK'S JERKY (TM) without waking up TEUFF, but nudges the monster mutant bulldog awake and shares with him. TEUFF is slobbering all over the place as he devours his chunk of TINK'S JERKY(TM) when he suddenly stops chewing and growls menacingly.
OLE DAWGIE clicks off the safety the magazine fed 18-mm semi-auto shotgun that is laying across his lap, checks to make sure the 12.7-mm autopistol holster flap is unsnapped and the HOGGE-LEGGE loose in the holster.
"QUIET, TEUFF! let who/wotever is out there get a bit closer . . ."
WITH a blood curdling shriek, a sopping wet MUTIE MAN rips aside the tent flap and tries to stab OLE DAWGIE with a nasty looking spear ! OLE DAWGIE uses the barrel of his shotgun to parry the spear thrust, and blows a couple of fist size holes in the MUTIE MAN's scrawny chest, sending the miserable creature flying backwards out of the tent entrance . . .
"DAMN. TEUFF, must be loosin' my touch! only meant to shoot that SOB once!"
2. SCENARIO; SLAYIN' IN THE RAIN
3. RULES: THW CR3.0 MODIFIED FOR FALLOUT POST APOCALYPTIC SKIRMISH GAME
4. TIME: Around sunset , in the distant future!
5. PLACE; IN a star system of THE MILKY WAY GALAXY , far, far away from the SOLAR SYSTEM , on a human settled, war ravaged, planet known as MATTBLACK'S WORLD, somewhere in the wastelands of BRITTAINIA !
6. VISIBILITY: ROTTEN. normal sunset conditions are further complicated by a torrential downpour, with surrealistic bolts of lightning, and thunder that has to be experienced to be believed! wind is driving the rain from out of the WEST at game start.
7. TERRAIN: ROLLING, low hills, gullies, and flat lands with sparse patches of low vegetation, clumps of trees, rock piles and what used to be red dirt but is now sticky, red mud. OLE DAWGIE and TEUFF are camped on top of one of the low hills, in a copse of trees, with a deep gully (now filling with water) on one side of same.
8. SITUATION: OLE DAWGIE arrived here o/a three (3) hours earlier (before the rain began), and decided to camp inside the shelter of the trees for the night. the tent faces NORTH. the tent flap is closed to keep out any wind blown rain drops. being a cautious sort, OLE DAWGIE decided not to make a fire to advertise their presence to the wastelands at large. NOGGSIE's MUTIE MEN were on a scout and stumbled over OLE DAWGIE's camp by accident when they moved into the trees in an effort to get some shelter from the rain. the last thing they expected to see was a battered canvas tent with only who know what inside of it. after a bit of a debate (and a few flying fists!) the leader decided they would check it out . . . after all it might be empty, or the occupant(s) asleep, sick or dead .
9. COMBATANTS
A. OLE DAWGIE, a large, middle aged, pot bellied; a non mutated human trader cum wanderer of the wastelands. most folks consider OLE DAWGIE to be older than dirt, what with the short life expectancy of most folks on MATTBLACK'S WORLD these days. OLE DAWGIE is a REP-5 (STAR) with the following random ATTRIBUTES:
A-1. NERVES OF STEEL: NOT SUBJECT TO DUCK BACK (it is a raging debate among those who know him as to whether OLE DAWGIE thinks he is bulletproof, or is a nutter when it comes to folks shooting at him).
A-2. BRAWLER: ADDS 1D6 WHEN IN MELEE (do not let the baby fat fool you - there are still muscles under the baby fat!).
A-3. SLOW : TREATS RESULT OF PASS 2D6 AS 1D6 WHEN TAKING FAST MOVE TEST (OLE DAWGIE's big belly and middle age have slowed him down just a tad when it come to things like running!).
OLE DAWGIE considered to be a bit of a walking armory and ammo resupply point, even by MATTBLACK WORLD standards . his customary weaponry is a pair of BA recoilless handguns, one thumping each thigh, a massive, scoped, BA revolver in a shoulder holster on the left side of his chest, a magazine fed, semi-automatic shotgun in his right hand, a scoped assault carbine slung across his back, as well as a pair of massive bone handle fighting knives with 30-cm blades strapped to the outside of each leg. OLE DAWGIE wears light body armor (flak jacket), use worn, soft, leather shirt/pants, a floppy, wide brimmed hat and battered calf high. pull on boots
B. TEUFF is a mutant, a bulldog, the size of an EARTHLY SHETLAND pony, with a mouth full of sharp white teeth and huge canines, big paws tipped with very sharp claws. TEUFF does not have any body armor at all. TEUFF is very, very smart (some say he is smarter than OLE DAWGIE!), completely devoted to OLE DAWGIE and TEUFF (short for TEUFFELHUNDE): he is not named for his massive teeth as most folks believe) is OLE DAWGIE's constant companion and bodyguard. OLE DAWGIE is completely devoted to TEFF. TEUFF is a REP-5 (STAR) with the following ATTRIBUTES:
B-1. ATHLETE: ADDS 1D6 WHEN TAKING FAST MOVE TEST (in spite of his size, TEUFF can move like greased lightning when he wants to do so!)
B-2. BRAWLER: ADDS 1D6 WHEN IN MELEE (with a mouth full of 5-cm teeth and 12-cm canines, 5-cm toenails, and muscles like iron, TEUFF is a melee monster!)
C. NOGGSIE'S MUTIE MEN SCOUTING PARTY consists of six (6) mutie men with
one (1) mutie man leader. all of these guys have randomly determined REPS and weaponry, no ATTRIBUTES.
C-1 MUTIE BOZZ (GRUNT). REP-5. armed with a battered assault carbine, a BA knife, and a one handed warclub. home made helmet, no body armor. his name is DRIBBIN.
C-2. MUTIE ARDBOY (GRUNT) REP-4, armed with a battered assault carbine, a BA knife, and a one handed axe. homemade helmet, no body armor.
C-3. MUTIE BOY (GRUNT) REP-3, armed with a crude spear, and one handed warclub. no helmet, shield only.
C-4. MUTIE BOY (GRUNT) REP-3, armed with a blunderbuss (counts as a single barrel, muzzle loading shotgun), BA knife. no helmet, no armor,
C-5. MUTIE BOY (GRUNT) REP-3, armed with a BA, 2-handed club, a BA knife, no helmet, no body armor.
C-6. MUTIE ARD BOY (GRUNT) REP-4, battered SMG, BA knife. no helmet, no body armor.
10. SPECIAL SCENARIO RULES:
A. MUZZLE loading fllintlock firearms will not work in the heavy rain -PERIOD! MUTIE MEN armed with same have awkward , 2-handed clubs for CQC only!
B. THE "modern" firearms carried by the MUTIE MEN are not in a very good state of maintenance/repair (MUTIE MEN are notoriously slack when it comes to preventive maintenance!).. any time a MUTIE MAN equipped with a "modern" shooter" rolls a natural "1" equal to all of his T-RATING when firing his weapon it is hopelessly jammed for the remainder of the scenario. jammed guns are awkward 2 handed clubs useful in CQC only!
C. OLE DAWGIE takes better care of his weapons than he does his clothing in the field, so "B" above does not apply to any of his firearms. if he has a weapons malfunction he may attempt to clear it as per the rules.
