Mission Log: Quick or Dead
💨 The Aerosol Anomaly
Staring down a wall of green-uniformed infantry bayonets and three charging Russian dragoons, the strike team realizes a direct clash could slow them down enough for the Ghoul to escape entirely. Dr. Stella Pfennig reaches into her lab coat, pulling out her Pocket Chemistry Set. "We need a screen, and we need it now!" she yells over the roar of the cannons.
Lucy spurs her horse right alongside the scientist, pulling out a canister of industrial-strength hairspray. "I'll give your formula some holding power, Doc!" she laughs. While Corporal Osprey uses his sheer presence and tactical positioning to shield their flanks from stray rifle fire, Dr. Stevens calls out structural wind directions from his vantage point behind the Corporal, ensuring the tactical deployment goes off without a hitch.
Dr. Pfennig cracks two chemical vials together, combining them with Lucy's pressurized aerosol spray. A localized, dense chemical cloud instantly erupts from their position. The thick, sticky white fog catches the autumn breeze and sweeps directly into the defensive line, completely masking our agents' approach and throwing the Russian ranks into absolute disarray.
The party attempts to use a combined chemical and aerosol smoke cloud to blind the Russian defenders and bypass the defensive blockade safely.
Result: Normal Success. The defensive line is successfully bypassed! The green-coated infantrymen fire blindly into the fog while the dragoons' horses rear back in confusion. Our agents slip through the gaps completely uninjured.
🎒 Battlefield Medicine
As the team successfully breaks through the clouded line and navigates past the abandoned cannons, Corporal Osprey's sharp eyes spot an overturned British medical supply crate amidst the fog. Quick as a flash, he leans down from his saddle to retrieve an intact, primitive battlefield first aid kit.
This scavenged kit serves as an immediate Boon for our team, carrying enough clean bandages and salves to completely patch up any future injuries the squad might sustain as they push deeper into the heart of the conflict.
The path ahead clears, revealing the horrifying epicenter of the disaster. Standing over a grim pile of fallen combatants, the top-hatted Ghoul, Maynard Rollins, looks up. Blood stains his stolen blue cardigan uniform vest. Sensing the ORUS presence, his corpse-white skin stretches into a snarl. "ORUS scum," he hisses, raising a blood-slicked cavalry sabre in his right hand while aggressively waving the tattered skull-and-crossbones flag in his left. He is charging straight for us.
