(Session 2)
Chase eats a bad pie, and is feeling bad as we head back.
Brahmin doesn’t look healthy; it’s pregnant and giving birth! After a bad start, it gives birth to a very strange single headed calf.
On the road in the rain, ambushed by a pipboy wearing ghoul; it also carried a hunting magazine.
Mayor: Ask quietly if they’ve seen anything abnormal.
There’s a piano and a mouthharp.
Chase turns in early; JJ dances with a ghoul girl, Jericho wins 30 caps on ring toss.
JJ spots a robed person lurking around the edges; he signals Jericho and sets off at a run. Jericho runs after, but trips in the ring toss game.
JJ continues on into the church, while Chase comes down to investigate the commotion where Chase was sprawled in the game. Hank sneers about Jericho’s habitual clumbsiness…
As they exit the game, the robed figure in the church says “I’ve been expecting you” to JJ. Two sidekicks step out of the shadows and grab for him…
The robed figure who addressed JJ draws a machete, but fails to connect. JJ draws his gun, and shoots the machete weilding foe. Chase and Jericho come running.
… JJ blows off one guy’s arm, then the second guy gets a bat to the arm. Jericho shoots the third in the head and he drops.
“We are the followers of the Holy Way” says the dying robed thug who dropped the dud Nuka Grenade.
The robed figure that was hit in the arm runs and leaps through the window. JJ runs after him and shoots him in the head before he gets clear.
Chase breaks the leader’s guy’s ribs; he shakes free then goes down to a hard hit.
The whole town is running up to investigate the shots…
