I'll have my orders in soon - expect a pm.

EQandcivfanatic · Dec 7, 2014

Sorry for the delay on the update folks. I was a bit sick for most of last week, and despite my hopes, it looks like I may be a bit too distracted with RL stuff today to put a lot of work into it today. At this point I'm looking to get it done by Tuesday.

Inter-Faction Reports

RUMORS ABOUND OF A NEW TYRANT IN THE WEST. Scavengers and travelers from the far west across the Mississippi River have begun talking about a brutal new empire that has dominated a large number of tribes in Arizona and parts of Texas and Colorado. Reportedly the New Texas Rangers are close to being overwhelmed, and a large number of refugees have begun pouring east looking for safety. Stories of anarchy throughout Texas abound and large tribes, pushed by the new tyrant called Kizar, have begun making the move in mass. Old communities throughout Texas have been overwhelmed and razed by numerous of these tribes and it seems likely that they will soon be making the crossing of the Mississippi themselves. As these tribes make their way one by one, it seems likely that a number of them are driven by tales of the Fruitlands and the great wealth of the Sunshine Wasteland. This can only bode poorly for those who reside in this part of the ruins of North America.

FIGHTING NEAR PENSACOLA. Pensacola is reportedly very hot property in the Florida real estate market at the moment, as the Maritime Collective has reported heavy fighting in the area. Stories say that Pensacola has been surrounded by unusual robots that float above the ground and occasionally play patriotic music from before the Great War. These odd robotic omens were soon followed by a raider attack from the north which the town was easily able to repulse. However, other people have talked about a brutal battle between a convoy of trucks and a number of aircraft. Alleged witnesses to the battle claim that the odd craft strafed the trucks and disgorged a number of heavy armed power armored individuals who laid waste to the defenders of the convoy. The convoy was not defenseless, and many reports clearly indicate that at least one aircraft was destroyed in the battle. Still, the convoy was apparently wiped out to a man, and the trucks left burning, until their power sources exploded, coating the area in radiation, along with the deployment of what appeared to be mini-nuclear weapons. Another major battle was fought at Pensacola itself about a month later as Vault 37 once against struck at the city. The defenders were able to hold back the assault, inflicting heavy casualties until eventually the Vault 37 commander ordered a retreat. The Maritime Collective has continued to loudly proclaim their victories over the radio waves, but the whole unusual series of events has raised numerous questions about what exactly took place in these first few months.

FAIR TO BE HELD IN LEESBURG. Radio announcements from the New Gulf Commonwealth have begun causing people to make plans for a new trip over the autumn. Entertainment of all types has been promised, and people have begun even paying for air time for advertisements for the fair on the Corporate radio channels and in the Sunshine Kingdom. It seems everyone that views themselves as a would-be entertainer in the Sunshine Wasteland is making it in their interest to attend this fair. Rumors persist that tech displays may be present of all types, people displaying working televisions and holotapes from before the war. The heightened interest, particularly from new settlers in the Fruitlands has even begun to cause the people of Leesburg to wonder if they may have bitten off more than they could chew with the new fair.

NASACITY WITNESSES ROYAL MARRIAGE. Nasa Educational Radio has been playing up a new event that could tie more closely the factions of the Sunshine Kingdom and Vault 37. A member of the Sunshine royal family, the Bedes has married into the leading family of the Vault 37 Overseers, the Jacksons. Prince Samuel Bede has married Tiffany Jackson, daughter of the current Overseer in a gala ceremony with almost ridiculous lushness compared to the wasteland outside of the city walls. Some locals and the visitors to the ceremony called it a halcyon throwback to the days before the Great War, and a scene of jubilance amid the day to day apparent futility of life in the Wasteland. Politically speaking there has been some concern expressed about the close relationship between the two powerful factions and what it could mean for the balance of power in Central Florida.

Faction Reports

The Core of Matter

Spoiler :

The Core of Matter's commissioner dealt with an usual circumstance as an usual caped figure offered support in fighting crime. Choosing to instead deal with the shadowy figure, a meeting led to a productive discussion. Satisfied that Albany was in good hands, the figure departed the town, but left some old Stealth Boys as a gift to help against future threats. This was compounded by a new surge of technology by the commissioner, who acquired it in his usual enigmatic way. Beyond these great boons, a cooperation pact was assumed with the neighboring town of Easebur, who gave a small amount of melee weapons to assist in the Core of Matter's defense, signaling good will and future friendship. The glory of the beginning of the year was only tarnished by a salvage expedition to the ruins of Sylvester. The ruined town was found to be overrun by giant ants, who proved a formidable adversary, attacking the expedition and killing a few while wounding most of the rest. The expedition managed to acquire a decent amount of salvage on the outskirts of the ant hive, but were unable to get into the heart of the old town. This included the looting of an old gun store, which had a number of intact weapons for the delighted salvagers.

Turn Stat Changes
+10 Stealth Boys from challenge response award
+30 Low-Tech Melee weapons from Easebur cooperation gift

Commissioner's Challenge: The huge amount of tech parts acquired by the commissioner's enigmatic ways have begun to brew suspicion among our people. Dark stories have begun to abound about the commissioner, and public misgivings are beginning to erode his authority. Needless to say, if the commissioner's source is revealed, the well of enigmatic surprises like the tech parts would immediately vanish. Therefore, the problem remains on how to handle the growing unease about the commissioner. How does he respond?

Empire of America

Spoiler :

The Empire of America has at last met its first defeat on the battlefield. While things on the home front remained quiet, beyond a small fire in Felix City that destroyed a water purifier, an expedition was sent to the furthest and largest target yet, the ruins of Birmingham. Equipped with ample weaponry and even some of the empire's power armor, the expedition based through places that had been previously scouted on their way to the old Interstate 20. They encountered an increasingly large number of ghouls the closer they got to Birmingham, causing them to expend ammunition in the process of their advance to clear the way along the highway. Eventually they reached an already clear area, only to find it occupied by a large fortified settlement on a hill in an old shopping center. As per protocol, they launched an attack, only to be badly mauled. Everyone not wearing power armor was quickly slaughtered by the defenders who maintained heavy fire the entire time. Rather than risk losing the power armor itself, the attackers chose to withdraw, unable to make entry into the town. They had to abandon a large amount of supplies and equipment to retreat quickly enough or risk being overrun. They returned to Felix City in shame, beaten, but with at least some loose scrap they had managed to pick up on the way home.

Emperor's Challenge: We have faced our first defeat as an empire and have finally met a foe which we could not simply storm and conquer. The well fortified people of the Field are not likely to be our friends after our attempted attack. Some of our advisors suggest we should leave well enough alone and not pursue their destruction, while focusing on expansion to more open regions. Others claim that the insult of our defeat must be avenged and that everyone who can feasibly be mustered should strike with all our fury! How do we respond to this debate?

Kingdom of Heaven

Spoiler :

The Kingdom of Heaven is reaching a dangerous point in its young history. An expedition was sent out to try to recover new scrap and supplies, and for the most part was successful at bringing back scrap for construction purposes. They also encountered a new town going up and under construction in the Citrus Springs area called Spring City. The new town was friendly enough, but seemed paranoid to avoid the fate of other free towns in close proximity to Vault 37s empire. Matters were made worse on the home front, as the town of Oscargrad seceded from the Kingdom of Heaven, stating that the water shortage was too much to bear and announced their decision to manage their own affairs in ending the shortage. They did apparently gain some relief from the organization known as the Sons of Oscar, who offered them both military support and water aid. While support was accepted, the New Vanguards, as they call themselves apparently view the Sons of Oscar with unease. The rest of the Kingdom held together, though dozens died from water related issues, as there was not always enough to go around. More simply left the Kingdom for literally greener pastures in the Fruitlands or the Sunshine Kingdom.

Turn Stat Changes
-3,000 Food from spoilage
-500 Scrap Parts, -3 Tech Parts, +200 Ammunition from construction and ammunition conversion

King's Challenge: The rebellion of Oscargrad is a dire blow to the kings authority. Some suggest we launch an immediate effort to reclaim the town, while others claim that such a conflict will only diminish us politically and risk further revolts. How do we respond to this uprising?

EQandcivfanatic · Dec 10, 2014

Maritime Collective

Spoiler :

The Maritime Collective faced multiple attacks on its peace and security as the year began. To make matters worse, a large number of unusual floating robots were reported in the area as the year began, occasionally playing music. For the most part they were left alone and did not behave aggressively toward the people of the Collective. After that, first came an attack by raiders from the north. A typically anarchical band of vicious killers, they were a large group but still fairly easily dispatched by the towns defenses, which were already alert for battle. About a month went by, and though some fighting was heard to the east, people were almost ready to relax when the warband from Vault 37 at last showed up. Deploying heavy weapons against the outer fortifications of the town, they caused some damage, but the Collective managed to hold them back with powerful firepower, including the use of their own howitzer, which gave them far greater range and power than the attackers possessed. Eventually, after losing hundreds of their own, the vault dwellers retreated from the battlefield, and the Collective let them flee unmolested.

Turn Stat Changes
-10 Population, -340 Ammunition, -1 Fuel from raider attack on Pensacola losses

-3,000 Scrap Parts from construction

Mayors Challenge: Our victory over Vault 37 is a great success for our people. With our planes up and running and the first test flights a success, some of our new pilots have suggested we take the war to the enemy. They argue that the immense amount of firepower that these bombers can drop would reduce the heartland of the Vault in the Fruitlands to ash and bring a rapid end to the war. However, such an effort would require a substantial amount of new ammunition and recent battles have run us dry. More conservative people suggest we simply hold onto our bombers for defensive purposes and work towards building up our already solid foundation. How do we respond to this debate?

New Gulf Commonwealth

Spoiler :

Running With Wolves

Spoiler :

Running With Wolves spent most of their time slowly circling the ruins of Jackson, avoiding the worst hotspots in the center of the city. They visited instead outlying towns and ruins, seeking to scavenge scrap and supplies from the rubble. Their slow progress allowed them to recover more than just loose scrap, taking more embedded pieces of good salvage. Madison and Clinton were easy stops, fairly empty of problems beyond radroaches and easily dispatched isolated ghouls. They met with a friendly settlement at Old Trace, but they were only friendly to a minor extent, not interested in trade and hostile towards any scavenging in their area. Raymond proved to be a larger challenge, infested by a highly aggressive hive of ants, which attacked the tribe relentlessly during the time scavenging there. Byram had a similar hive, but they for whatever reason chose to avoid engaging the tribe. Numerous ghouls were spotted in other stopping points along the tribes migration, and other living people were a rarity until they eventually reached the old international airport. The airport was apparently arranged into a new and prosperous farming community which welcomed but declined to trade with the tribe. With nothing to do there, they moved on to Brandon, where they set up their final camp for the first half of the year.

Pack Leaders Challenge: A couple of our new tribe members claim that one of our most fiercest fighters is in fact an agent of the tyrant known as Caesar from the west. They claim that he helped butcher their tribal village and enslave their friends and family. Unfortunately they have no evidence of this and he is one of our most powerful and well-armed fighters so trial by combat simply wont work for these new people. Should we take action in this situation before it possibly results in violence or mob action?

Sunshine Kingdom

Survivalist Union

Spoiler :

The Survivalist Union witnessed the crash of an unusual aircraft east of Refuge this year. Spotters saw the plane come crashing down from the south, and immediately rafts and canoes were launched to salvage what they could from the slowly sinking aircraft. From appearances it seemed to be a reconnaissance aircraft with no weapons that normally flies at high altitudes, and by a stroke of luck, it had crashed on a sandbar. This allowed a full recovery of the aircraft scrap and tech parts before the tide rose and swept the rest away. The bodies within were clad in unusual uniforms with insignias of a red globe. None survived the crash, and the bodies were lost with the rest of the aircraft when the tide came in. It seems likely to remain a mystery to the people of the Union, but they appreciate the salvage they gained from it nonetheless. On the home front, more salvage was gained from continued intensive salvage of Port St. Lucie, though plenty of scrap remains to be collected. Unfortunately these successes were tarnished by the complete failure of the water purifier in Liberty City, somewhat reducing the collection of clean water in that town.

Turn Stat Changes
-1 Water Purifier in Liberty City from failed components

Headmans Challenge: An organization known as the Sons of Oscar wishes to set up a safe house in Refuge. They claim to be looking for a safe place to bring people who are escaping abusive situations including enslavement and torture at the hands of other factions. Unfortunately they have a bit of a unpleasant history with other factions near us and accepting them in could be a political problem with other groups. They are offering more permanent residents for refuge along with a number of guns. How do we respond to this proposal?

We apologize for our indiscretion regarding your lands. We did not know that these islands were inhabited. We ask that you, in your mercy and wisdom, find it in your heart to forgive us, and allow us to retain the settlement of Old Fort.

We believe that this settlement will allow us both to grow as people, as nations, as wealth, which comes to us from as far as New York and Washington of old, will now be able to flow into your coffers as well.

As a gesture of good will, we offer you a gift, a Plasma rifle, which has been in our armory since the fall of the old world.

I hope that the friendship and love I bear for you can be reflected in our people, and that we can grow rich and prosperous through trade.
