Ask permission to go see the clan elders then ask whether the rumours are true.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Then we split up. Each of us take some dogs, scout the surrounding area for the cattle, sweep the area, but move quickly. They shouldn't be hard to spot. Everyone should avoid trouble, which means staying away from Militia if they can help it, keeping the fuck away from Raiders even if they can't, and being carefuly and preferably hidden from other Nomads or wanderers. We meet back up at dusk, in a nearby cave(blahblahdesignated, make sure everyone knows where it is, make sure it'll be a safe place to stay the night, etc.).

Each of you takes one 'dog'. The beasts are almost large enough to ride and trained by its owner, most people train them to follow commands and protect their owners.
You all spread out and begin searching, after about two hours of sneaking around before you find the herd. The kid that finds it reports to everyone that he has found the herd but it seems two militia have found it as well and are doing something with the cattle. ((he's using a basic radio that all of you have, given to you all for this adventure but not all nomads have radios))

Nothing else. Get some sleep.

It's been a lazy day, might as well fall asleep to wait for the next day.
You lay in your bed pondering your usual thoughts and your eyes close.
You awaken in your dream, you seem to be in an old world jeep, heavily armored, and standing in the turret area with a .50 cal machine gun in your hands waiting for a battle. You look around and the terrain is similar to that of your home if not with a more well kept road. You see smoke coming from a distant but small town.

Ask permission to go see the clan elders then ask whether the rumours are true.

You ask one of the clan members to speak to an elder and they allow you.
When the clan stops for the night (they are on the move to a new grazing area) you go to the elders tent making sure to not be offensive you ask about the rumors. They talk to you in their soft and calm voices, (this is not a clan of violence)¨You have been a calm follower with us. We have not been aggravated but we have seen that you are not adding to our total. You have been eating our food but not taking care of our animals, you have been drinking our drink but not pumping the wells. We, the elders, have concluded that for you to stay you must prove your worth to us. You do not have to stay with us forever but if you want to stay under our protection till where ever you are headed and from then on you must prove yourself useful and worthy. If you want to stay you must complete a task for us, if not then leave now. Do you bare any questions?¨

[Generally me]

What is this task I must accomplish?

The man who seems to be the leader of the elders responds in his calm and deep voice,¨As you may know winter is on the horizon and the herd will not be enough to sustain us for the coming months. We haven't been able to barter enough of our usual supplies for money to buy what we need to last. A wanderer like you may be able to get us what we need.

There are several ways you can do this.
If you are a good scavenger then we need someone to find a v3-298 arrow tech battery, it's something one of our trade partners has been looking for and has guaranteed three years of supplies in trade for the item. It is however old world tech so the Militia will want it as well, it will not be easy to find unless you find a rubbled factory that the Militia hasn't molested yet.

Another thing you could do for us is steal some supplies from the Militia, if you do this we would be more than happy to send help with you but know this is a very risky mission.

A third and final challenge is to be diplomatic and receive help from the Raiders, they are open to helping us but they are far off our path so we would need outside help to talk to them.

[Generally me]

I do not think I can accomplish this I am sorry. Set out on my own in the direction of known civilization.

((I'm on the side of the militia if I have to choose))

[Playergamer]

Find the driver of the jeep, and ask them what's going on.

"We are sorry for the indifference, but now that we know you will not help we ask you kindly leave now."
So you set off towards Sanctuary Ruins only a few miles away, after about an hour of walking down half kept roads you find a small town of 200 or so. There are two large housing buildings, they look like remodeled hotels. There are also several many stalls with people selling food and supplies. The people are rather cautious about you but they seem nice. There is an obvious Militia presence with pairs of guards with the Militia insignia of a shield with a rifle and antena forming an x over it. The guards seem to be happily walking around but rarely making eye contact with the people. A few of the people have burnt scars on their exposed skin. What do you do here? 

Find the driver of the jeep, and ask them what's going on.

You look down into the jeep and the driver looks up to see you, he mouths some words that seem to say something about using your helmet mic to hear over his loud radio metal music. You turn on your mic and it tunes out the loud music. You ask him what's going on and he responds,"We're headed to purge the heretics of the town down south, salt the cut and burn the wounds they said!"
(Do remember this is a dream)

Would you guys want me to make and post a basic map of the region for help navigating?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

bump?

[Rolepgeek]

What are they doing with the cattle? Branding them?

He responds,¨I'm not sure, it's hard to see what they are doing without getting closer and I don't want to get any closer to them alone¨

((Friend is making drawings of each character (or at least examples of each class).. they look good, might take awhile but will post when they are done))
