CR Arcadum S2E20: A Harrowing Wind

===Episode 20: A Harrowing Wind===
====Rook sends Faye on a path====
Still hiding out at the hospital in Scrap Town, Rook is on edge, constatly checking his inventory of weapons while aiming a gun downstairs, waiting for Faye to come to him. 
The radio station Arcadia with Horizon at the mic broadcasts a message globally that there is going to be corporate presence going out to The Golden Lance and to be careful. He also notifies that the a response towards the volcano threat from yesterdays earthquake is being considered by the Scrap Town council and to consult them with further questions.
His daughter eventually finds him and reveals her disguise while Rivett provides her a synthetic voice. Rooks wounds havent healed properly, finding Scrap Towns medical services lacking. He gives Faye access to his bank accounts and to procure services via proxies for new hideout back in The Row and to set up a new expedition to retrieve intel on who are after them. He also tells her to check up the medic Hank, while he seems trustworthy enough to make sure he doesnt have any corpo ties. Thankful for aiding the town Hank ensures there is no need for payment. 
====DM: The End of the Golden Lance====
The group heading to The Golden Lance lead by Hadwyn and his masked friend Simon, consists of Shiloh, Sean and Hank. Reaching their destination they meet another group consisting of Sheila, Sir Polka, Raleigh and Relic going there for different reasons. 
Shiloh jacking into the ship he learns that it was turned off while ago its defenses are still active against other crafts, not internal threats. Navigating through doors without power relic brings jumper cables to give them enough temporary power to open them. Approaching the central platform with Polka leading and holding up his giant shield for cover they are attacked by raiders. In the chaos Relic trips over a railing and falls down into the depths to his death. (Rolled 3 on a death roll where 9 or higher is a success) Hadwyn downloading information from the top consoles manages to finish while the rest provide covering fire but as they do an announcement rambles over the PA system: 
:"Ship defenses activated. Warning. Orbital targeting detected. Shields failing. Destruction in 7 minutes".
Starting their escape they realize Relic is left behind and return to recover him, in the chaos Shiloh suffers the same ill luck and falls down the same railing. Raleigh attempts to use her magic to search for him and carry him up from the darkness but is unable to find him. While listening to the countdown they have to abandon him. Miraculously somehow Shiloh makes his way crawling out from the depths below the exploding ship, meeting them outside.(Rolled 9 on a death roll where 9 or higher is a success)
Returning to town Sheila tells Wit and a gathering of the sad news when her grief overwhelms her and she unintentionally summons a rainstorm. To the locals of Scrap Town many wastelanders who has never ever even seen it rain before, it is a very strange experience both exhilirating and terrifying at the same time. Some of the local synths who are not waterproof have to take cover. 
Polka attempts to calm Sheila with a song as thunder roars and lightning starts striking parts of the town.In the storm a lightning strikes and hits the radio tower completely destroying it, knocking out all communication in town. Sheila distraught storms off alone into the wastes.
====DM: Skirmish in the spirit canyon====
A ship passes over Scrap Town towards Spirit Canyon and Reeza and Ront decides to head out to investigate. Moving in they encounter a team of what could be Astral corp mercenaries stationed there. As they approach the mercs fire warning shots at them and they decide to gather more before getting close and Ront returns to town. Reeza tries to approach again shouting that she is unharmed and asking if they have any wounded, suspecting that they may have crashed. She is met by armed guards and is instead forcefully apprehended for questioning. 
Remarking how he managed finally found the spirit walkers, Thaddeus steps out from a corner and commends Reeza on her bravery - and foolishness - of coming here alone. Reaching into her mind he begins pulling the spirits free of her body, remarking of what a good meal she makes. Falling unconscious, Thaddeus mimicing her voice calls for help on her comms. Ront recieving a call is suspicious knowing that Reeza doesn't really use technology and brings a large party as backup, .
A Mars caravan consisting of Luca, Korgak and Belisarius get notified that an unknown dreadnaught ship class has just engaged their stabilization thrusters and follow it towards bramble canyon. Discovering the hunkered down mercs taking cover they shout out demanding them to tell who they are and what they're doing there. When claiming ownership of the place, belonging to the corporation they are targeted by hellfire missiles from the ship and make their retreat to many alarms going off. Outgunned their vehicle is destroyed by bombardment and running on foot are chased by the ship while taking cover behind the terrain. Pinned behind a mountain pillar as it collapses the injured meet the rescue mission sent out from scrap town but they refuse them aid and leave them behind. Getting no charity from the scrappers Luca at least welcomes them distracting the mercs and resumes their escape.
====DM: Thaddeus Sends his Regards====
The rescue team find the blasted out truck that mars came in, giving a hint of what they may encounter but continue into the canyon anyway. The merc company are about to encounter the scrappers and some spirit talkers and on the comms are told to apprehend them. Tynan attempting to mediate, being the keepers of this place one of the guards feigns putting his gun down, baiting them to approach, inviting them to recover their injured ally Reeza but it's all a ruse. The mercs surround the scrappers, disarm and capture them as Thaddeus moves in.
Remarking how he caught a nice catch and how well they all took his bait Thaddeus asks where "The red one" is located but they arent fourthcoming. Taking his prizes Thaddeus commands Tynan and Ahi to sleep and asks one of the guards to borrow his firearm. Not needing the armed one he guns Stein down, and shoots out Ronts legs, ordering her to tell "the red one" what she saw. Stein still breathing Thaddeus shoots him many times more for good measure, making sure that he's dead. Hollering his astral corp mercs to load them up Thaddeus leaves not at all phased by the carnage he left behind.
Wit having shadowed what happened watches the injured Ront crawl towards Stein in tears as he mutters his last words through all the blood. Late to the tragedy Rikky and Leonard with Mayor McCuldger approach Wit, carrying Ront and learn about the captured spirit walkers and the defacing done. Intending to make clear he had no involvement and worried about the spirits Rikky inspects himself. Blasted by missiles, ransacked, defaced, the crystals shattered and the waters no longer flow and all that remains of the water spirit are its bracers, it has been consumed. Worried how the fire spirit will react at the death of its sister Rikky tells Leonard of the importance to get in contact with a druidic spirit and manages to do so. It tells him of the importance to recover the spirit walkers before "the spirit eater" (Thaddeus) gathers all four of them and granting him access to the spirit realm. Having three out of four the only one remaining is Sheila. Sheila suffering from her guilt its words trails off and end with "please you must keep us safe..."Callous Row Season 2 Ep 20: A Harrowing Wind
