Day 4
Encounter 1
The two soldiers exit the pickup slowly and without making any threatening gestures. They explain that they come from a safe haven from the west and are looking for supplies and anything else they might find. They then offer the man some of the supplies, and say they can't spare a lot since they were planning to travel for another day before returning to their home. The man seems to have calmed down at the offer of food. He explains that a few bandits had come a couple days back but he drove them off, but not before they managed to steal most of his supplies. Apparently they came from somewhere further to the east. After a long conversation he seems quite confident that they weren't coming to rob him, and invites his family out. There are three of them, the soldier, his wife and their daughter. All of them look as if they haven't eaten properly in a while. The soldiers give them what they can spare and radio back home. The pickup truck doesn't have enough room to get them to the base, so someone will have to come pick them up with one of the buses. [New Location discovered] [-3 supplies]
