Round 2: Attempted Vehicular ManslaughterLocation: Rolea B'ier District, Kampong Chhnang Province, Central CambodiaPlayergamer proceeds to the corner and claims it with the power of Polish Rap. [Polish Rapping: 9+2] Within minutes, a crowd of dozens of Cambodian youth surround Playergamer talking about the struggles in the Polish hood. Of course, none of them can understand him literally, but they get his vibe. Playergamer finishes his set to roaring applause. One of them tells him, "You are a very good rapper! Have you ever thought about going to Phnom Penh and entering in the monthly rap contest? The winner becomes very famous all across Asia."
Mastahcheese sneaks off the highway into a nearby village, slipping into the general store. It is there he lurks around inconspicuously, until he finds a rack with a half-dozen speakers. [Shoplifting: 9+2] He snatches the speakers and darts out the door before the cashier even knows that he was inside. Hiding behind a house, Mastacheese looks at his devices; they aren't the best quality, being made off of a Chinese assembly line, but the fact that there's six of them together means that their total volume should prove enough for his plan, whatever his plan is.
My Name is Immaterial heads over to the Airport, not looking for a flight to book, but instead heads over to customs where he finds a group of tired migrants trying to get a flight, but lacking a passport of some other form of identification, according to plan. MNII slides over to discuss them his plan to help them slip out of the country, in return for a month's worth of labor. [Aiding Illegal Immigration: 3+3] The migrant families decide to take their chances in custom rather than having to man the harpoons for thirty days. However, three young single men accept Immaterial's policy. Three's not much for a crew, but it's a start.
Ddynamo follows My Name is Immaterial to the Airport, but rather than heading to customs, he finds a spot where he can be visible and audible to the most potential customers. [Advertising in Airports: 1+3] Ddynamo manages to make 80 Riel (equivalent to 20 U.S. Dollars) in selling fake insurance policies, when two Airport Security guards moves in on him. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you have a license? What is this?" One of them holds up an "Insurance Policy", which is really a napkin with some scribbles and a fake signature, (designed by Ddynamo, all Rights Reserved).
Elephant Parade runs for the Tonle Sap River. He deflates his XP-Class Lifeboat and hoists it onto the surface of the HMS Sturgeon. His boats are ready for action, though he's the only member of the crew. Captain Elephant Parade ponders his next move...
Urist Mc Dwarf heads down by the Docks of the Tonle Sap, scouring under them to search for treasure. [Treasure Hunting: 9+2] Just when it looks like the damp lakebed is devoid of any treasure, Urist comes across a parchment buried beneath some sand. Despite being obviously quite old, the parchment is still legible, even if Urist can not understand the ancient language and the secrets it holds. It could be anything from an ancient manuscript to a piece of accidentally preserved newspaper.
Darkpaladin109 does the first thing any visitor to Cambodia does, and looks for a train. This is a bad idea, as railways seem to be nonexistent in this country. There are less than 400 Miles worth of railroad tracks in Cambodia, all of which are currently out of order. Darkpaladin109 will have to revise his plan if he wants to see Nazis anytime soon.
Ozarck heads off to contact the Apostolic Vicariate of Phnom Penh in order to receive aid from other good Catholics. Unfortunately, he lacks a cell phone or similar device, so he seeks out a local to help him. One passerby allows Ozarck to use his flip-phone, but no calls are able to reach the Vicariate. "Far call? Bad reception," says the native, solemnly shaking his head as he takes his phone back from Ozarck.
Fractalman sits behind the seat of her Lagonda 16/80, revving up the engine. Near the edge of the highway she can see Playergamer rapping in front of a crowd. Target acquired. The car speeds down the highway as fast as it can accelerate at it's top speed of 80 MPH. (10 vs. 9) The crowd runs and screams, running away wildly, causing Playergamer to spin around and notice the incoming car. He leaps to the side, cutting his right arm across the ground as he lands, but otherwise unharmed as the old-timey car passes through the spot where he had just been standing.
