Dawn, Session 5: Emo Folk Band

Chaos Factor: 7

After the run-in with the postal carrier, the group decides to double back a bit in attempt to avoid anyone who may have been alerted to the gunfire. However, they are determined to find some formula after their aborted attempt the previous day.

The firefight shook everyone up. It was too reminiscent of the first few weeks of the Collapse.

Roll

Roll against CF:7, D10, result=10, begins as expected.

They continue south, leaving and hiding their bicycles behind. After an hour they reach their destination, one of those hypermarket superstores common in Portland. They scout before they proceed, using binoculars, but see nothing.

Roll

Roll on random encounters, d100, result=66, nomads, musicians

They head for the entrance, using the abandoned cars, carts, and other debris as cover. The sliding doors are wide open and they step inside and jump over the swing gate barriers. As soon as all three are a few feet from it, they hear a voice say, "Stop right there."

Old Bear goes low, looks around but doesn't spot anyone. "Please don't raise that gun," the voice says.

Old Bear positioned his hands away from his body and says, "We're good, we're good. Relax. We came here for the same reason as you: Just to get some stuff and leave. We have a baby back at home that we need to find formula for."

After a few moments, a young woman emerges from behind table with a pile of jeans on top of it, a bow in her hand pointed at the group.

"You don't sound like them," they say.

"Them?"

"They took our friend," they say. "Some hippie dippie cultists."

"Yeah, we are definitely not them."

The woman puts down her bow and two more come out, both women, one with a knife and the the other with a shotgun.

Old Bear explains where they are from and mentions the baby again. The first woman smiles.

"We've heard of you all," they say. "We were actually heading up there for a visit. We are a band. On tour, you could say."

Roll

Roll on Mythic, Is there formula, I judge this as a near sure thing, result=40, yes.
