Summary

An Ares Forward Survey group went missing, and Ares wants to know what happened to them. They decide to hire runners to send them out.

Background

The Meet

The runners meet the J in a somewhat deserted lot, where Mr. J, Danny Hoffman and Ares Contact, was waiting for them alongside several other armed men. After accepting the disclosure for the fact that they'd be working with Ares on this job, he explains that they need someone to check out the forward base, though not before Winter opened mouth and inserted foot. After some arguing, they decide on 10k and some potential gear as well, and set off to the site.

The Plan

The runners would load up into Trample's van, where they would all then smuggle their gear into the compartments and ride to the border and use spirits and other methods to track down the missing group. Straightforward and to the point.

The Run

Once the runners properly arrived on scene, they embarked up the road trail and followed the jeep tracks to a camp, where along the way Glamor summoned a Guidance Spirit to help determine their final fate. Upon going down the trail they found an abandoned camp and jeep, where they then proceeded to follow Trample's Search sense and Glamor's Detect Footwear to hunt down the corpses of the Ares scout team, as they were all dead. Along the way and some hacking later, they were ambushed by awakened wolves, where they learned that four of the team were slaughtered by said wolves. Some more searching revealed two more corpses that matched the dossier, learning that those extras were shot, likely by the others, which is possibly what attracted the wolves. After completing the primary job the runners returned only to get ambushed by a Dwarven Holdout, who planted bombs beneath the jeep and severely injured Trample and lightly wounding several others. Glamor then summoned a fire spirit to hunt down and slay the sniper while Winter helped Trample up and Artemisia tried to engage in melee with the sniper only to nearly kill herself over elven wires, while Canis planted a tag for the J to track down the camp. The runners fell back, and left in Trample's van soon after.

Aftermath

The runners cross back across the border, and pass with no problems besides Artemisia's stress meter increasing marginally. They leave all recovered materials at an Ares Depot on the way back to town, and meet up with the J in a warehouse to finish off the job and confirm everything was in order, and received proper payment. They then departed, and went home to their own separate ways.
