Road Ronins are carefully checking vehicles, feeding machine guns with long belt of bullets, greasing mechanisms and filling vehicles with fluids.

Eduardo Adger, local mechanic turns toward William Attwood, current leader:
"Hey, Will', what are we doing with the last Chomper I prepared? You know, the one we looted from 3rd Av. Mutilators; it's up and ready, and I would really like to see it in action."

William waits a bit before replying, lost in his own thoughts.
"You're right, Ed', I'm going to recruit some people.", he says and leaves the camp.

A few hours later he's back, closely followed by a tall man and a woman.
He quickly presents Danny Smith and Clara Philips to other gang members. After a warm welcome, from veteran members, the newbies are taught, basic driving and firearms handling, while they all wait for the scouting to start.

William Attwood enters Dexters, promptly followed by the gang.
"Dexter, let's have a drink please; never a day has been so hot in the area.", he says still covered with the thin red dust, so typical of the place.

"Let's have a drink to Advanced Research Labs, Demon Knights and Gearjammers too, these guys have been outstanding!", he says while raising is pint of brown beer.

"We wouldn't have imagined what happened today. But I'll tell you another day, we need to rest.", and he seats down, looking really tired.

10 minutes after the Ronins arrived, the full complement of 33 Gearjammers members squeezed through the door, you could hear their voices long before the door opened. They all seemed focused on one member. Jeffrey Blake. Of the 4 members to go through and survive the recent wilderness combat, he was the only one talkative enough to describe it.

"Well, it was the Ronins, Advanced Research Labs, Demon Knights and us totalling 7 cars, I think." "We were patrolling an area known as 'Interstate Mythos' just outside Somerset."

"As we crested the main hill, I looked over at William Atwood 2 cars over who was pointing frantically at his rear-view mirror." "I looked in the mirrors and I nearly wet myself!" In the mirrors at our 4, 6 and 8 o'clock there were 14 cars all within gun range and closing fast!"

"At our 12 o'clock, there was a lone marley. on our 9 o'clock there was a cutlass and a maruader, on our 3 o'clock there were 2 cutlasses." "19! MAN! 19 Third Avenue Mutilators' cars of all makes and sizes looking to slice us up." "I found out later Atwood was pointing at the marley, NOT at the pack I saw in the mirrors."

"With quick hand signals between us we formulated a plan and we split up, left-center and-right. Alo was the first to throw lead downrange and the TAM marauder was the first to fall followed by the Cutlass on his side." "We were on top of a hill and as such most of the TAM were stuck trying to get up the hill leaving them open on the sides to be picked off which the Ronins and Alo did with style."

"The ones that did make it up the hill were met with murderous AT gun fire from us the 'Gearjammers' 'Demon Knights' and the Ronins Landrunner." "That battle ended with our victory and looting of almost every enemy car available."

"We were a motley bunch limping our way home. Picture this, 26 cars in our convoy!.... Only 3 or 4 cars really able to fight anymore. at our 40 mph speed we were whistling so loud from all the bullet holes, you'd have thought we had a band of 100 flute players riding along with us!"
"That's what probably brought on the arrival attack!"

Even Dexter had his head in his hands listening to the tale.

"When we did a final count, it was another 18 cars after us!" "With hand signals acknowledged by all in our now very large group, we decided to make a run for it to the town limits." Blake paused and motioned to Dex for another round. "Next round is on the house, Dex said" "But you WAIT till I'm done serving you all before you continue!"

"As Dexter settled back to his bar, Blake continued."

"All was fine as we passed through the canyon entrance leading to the prairie surrounding Somerset." "As our 'lead' cars started down the hill, our trailing cars started taking damage and dropping from the safety of our pack." "Sorry to say Alo suffered most of the losses after this event ended. I don't know how many cars finally made it to town, but ALL of our members save for a few made it back with a very profitable scout under our belts!" "Even though we Gearjammers gained 2 bounties and are considered 'heroes' in Somerset, our Reputation is still stuck on the - side, much to our chagrin!."

"I know the others in the scout also gained bounties and 'hero' consideration, but I don't know about their Reputation situation."

"Well! That's our story of a dual encounter of 19/18 enemy cars!. I still can't believe most of us survived with cars and story intact!"

Blake stands and raises his glass. "To our comrades who fell today in battle!" He downs the glass and throws it into the unused fireplace.
Within 2 minutes the hearth is full of broken glass and Dexter, having just put the pile of money, given to him by all the 'glass-breakers', away in his safe, brings out a stack of boxes with new glasses in each box.
