Session 3: Another Party Crasher
A meeting with Jim Grant was crashed by a team of mercs... who wound up being associated with a PMC called PACEM and a guy named Kester. They were friendly, but the next group of mercs who came in were less so. One of them -- a guy in a walking battle tank -- was decidedly hostile, and it took a lot of bullets to put him to sleep. A call to Benny Tucker resulted in a solution: he'd clean up the mess, but he wanted a debrief in is office. He couldn't make it so Loki skyped in on his behalf, adopting Tucker's appearance and everything before executing the former Seattle District Chief live on-air. Loki offered a truce before sending in a legion of undead, and unable to take the fire escape, the team blew a hole in the wall and took the quick way down. A Good Samaritan offered you a lift out, abandoning a sweet Crown Vic to the horde of undead. Now what?
Session 2: Asgard's Army
It looks like the guys stockpiling guns in the woods (might not be/)aren't insane white supremacists after all, which is a plus! The downside: giants and zombies have become an occupational hazard. Knowing the name of the enemy -- Loki -- helps, but not knowing the true nature of the threat? That might not be good. The party needs to do something now -- there's no telling when Ragnarok -- the foretold end of existence -- is to begin, but if the party wants to come out on the winning side, they're gonna need to get to work. Discovering the true nature of the enemy -- where is Loki's army? -- and gathering some allies is a pretty good first step.
Session 1: Ice to Meet You
It’s the third year of “global cooling” the planet’s faced, and only the incredibly naive call it anything short of an ice age. Crop failures and half-year-long winters across most of the planet have basically spelled doom for humanity. Sure, greenhouses and the like have their uses, but the added power consumption has made the whole scenario nearly unworkable: some hydroelectric dams have been abandoned for the freezing, and there hasn’t been enough time to get enough nuclear grids online. Solar isn’t an option when it’s snowing for half the year, and wind turbines freeze solid in no time. Burning fossil fuels remains the only solution, but with the added cold comes added heat needed, and with increased darkness, there’s a greater need for outdoor lighting and the like. Plus,the country’s more obsessed with making guns and importing food from new locales, and less concerned with the population at home. It’s a hard time to be alive, but you’re still here. Maybe you’re a survivor, or maybe you’re lucky. Regardless, you’ve got a lead. Maybe it’s the job of a lifetime, or the story of a lifetime, or the opportunity of a lifetime. Maybe there’s wealth, or fame, or glory, or maybe even just the truth. It’s the last thing you got — it’s the only thing you got. Well, that, your car, and whatever supplies you managed to jam into it. You’re a few hours outside of Seattle — well, a few hours in ideal driving conditions — it took you six hours to get where you are when it should’ve taken three. You’re in Concrete, Washington, a nothing town with not much more than a gas station and a diner promising cheap coffee — whatever “cheap” means when gas is twice what it was four years ago. The GPS location you got puts your destination just near Ross lake — a fifty minute drive at least, in summer 2014 conditions. In winter, 2019? Good luck. You pull up, fuel up, and head inside the diner as the snow seems to worsen. Last stop.
