Becky and the Red Jade Buddha - Chapter 4

[Vagabond]

Becky and her friends have been given some information relating to a mysterious Red Jade Buddha, they have had bad dealings with a gang of bikers led by Boris a bald headed thug, who stole the information from them and then they retrieved it from him in the last chapter.

This follows on from Chapters 1 - 3 see here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=86742.0


The Lost Information

Following the successful raid on Boris and his hotel room the girls go back to Roxanne’s house, maybe not such a smart move, they know that they can’t stay long but need to get their stuff together and read the information they have and get some idea of what to do next.

They are able to break in to Boris’s laptop, he had not password protected it, a warning to you all reading this, however your thief might not get a lucky die roll to decide that there was no password.

Reading Boris’s e-mails addressed to the “Count” they discover that there is some more information relating to the whereabouts of the Red Jade Buddha that is stashed away in a cottage in the border lands between Scotland and England near a town called Selkirk.

If we act quickly maybe we can to get this before Boris and his cronies are able to collect it yelps Gabrielle. OK let’s go.

The text relating to each picture is below it



Overview of the board, 2ft or 600mm square depending on where you live. The girls will drive in from the top down the road, and the bad guys, yes they will be here as well, just a question of when. They will arrive from a random direction and in a random time.



Girls coming from the left, the cottage they need to search is on the right.



Just a another gratuitous shot of the board, the encounter markers (plot points to you Pulp Alley Walla’s) are the green pennies.

Turn 1 – The girls drive on to the board - Gabrielle and Roxanne in a rather nice MG 2 seater and Becky in a borrowed e-Type Jaguar.



Turn 2 – they jump out of the cars and start to search the area, Becky in the background checks out the encounter marker by the field and finds nothing, Gabrielle checks the outside toilet and fails her Awareness check, they have 2 attempts at this check before assuming there is nothing there, obviously this means they can miss the vital clues and Roxanne moves towards the door into the house.

Turn 3 – Bad Guys arrive but fail to activate and so do not get on to the board, giving the girls a bit more time to search, which is a complete waste as they discover nothing.





Turn 4 – the bad guys arrive and pile out of the van. A Ponds Skin Care Cream van!!!, Who are we dealing with chuckles Becky, as she turns to face them. Looks like some of the guys we met in Inverness but where is Boris, has he been replaced by handsome dark haired Sam Fernando.



Turn 5 – “Get them” shouts Sam who like all good leaders stays behind to direct operations as his henchmen lumber across the short distance to the nearest two girls. Keith A the Asiatic looking biker runs into Gabrielle, this is a bit of a mistake because whilst he is quite brave he can’t fight for toffee and goes down beneath the flailing feet and fists of Gabrielle who can fight for toffee. In fact she quite likes toffee.

Big Dave thinks that the slim blonde Becky is going to be easy meat, he has never heard of Tai Quan Do, no it’s not a type of toffee and the effects are quite stunning as he lands on his face in the mud OOF. “Out of Fight” Two down two to go.



Turn 6 – Tank (who can fight) attacks Gabrielle but he can’t fight well enough and also goes down OOF.
Sam looks on.

Turn 7 – Sam decides he needs to report back on the failure of his troops, jumps in the van and reverses as fast as he can up the road. The girls go back to searching but find nothing.

Turn 8 – Gabrielle is having a good day and finds the missing information in one of the stacked crates.

Game over and a complete white wash for the bad guys.

What has happened to Boris, the bald headed bad guy, has he been sent to Siberia, who is Sam – does the fact that his van seem to have more reverse gears than forwards mean he is a quick thinker or as yellow as the sun, will he join Boris in Siberia.
