[ManMan]

Smash the ghoul's head with the artifact.

[Dustan Hache]

It's okay, just remain calm. If it shifted once, it will shift again. Have a handful of dirt ready for when it does, and pray that it doesn't activate since I am surrounded by it.

[Dark One]

Turn 7 - Nardo Polo subturn

Oops
Flee away from the military patrol!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[2] You try to run away from incoming patrol, but you've fallen over a rock and hit the ground with your head.

[6] You've only lightly bruised your forehead. You quickly stand up and run away, but stunned after you've hit the ground, you actually run towards soldiers! They seem to be surprised, but none of them shoots at you.

[Dark One]

Turn 8 - Everyone except Nardo and Fisk

The Sun has come down. It's night.

Ronald Roman

Smash the ghoul's head with the artifact.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[1] You take out the artifact and try to smash it on ghoul's head, but all of a sudden it slips out of your hands!

[Irradiated ghoul vs Ronald: 6 x 1]

The mutant screams menacingly and charges right at you. You both fall on the ground, close to the artifact. Mutant tries to claw your eyes out, but you block it with hands. With a few wild strikes it rips some flesh off your arms!

You lose 5 HP

[1, 2, 6, 2, 5] You both tangle wildly - mutant trying to kill you and you defending yourself. Suddenly the mutant falls on the artifact and spikes go deep inside his body. Black ichor flows out, mutant screams in agony and the artifact resonates strangely. You try to free yourself, but the ghoul is holding you. The artifact slowly drains whole ichor from the mutants body and turns fully black. Ghoul is dead, but hedgehog still behaves suspiciously. You take it in your hands... and then the artifact explodes! You take some slight damage, luckily it didn't ripped your hands off!

You lose 3 HP

- Unlocked Reactions in OP! -

Lorence "Lucky" Jackson

Well, I guess I wont be following them around, So I might as well wander off.

[2] You try to turn around and go away, but the husk catches your hand and mutters "Safe", luckily he's not trying to push you into the anomaly.

Anna Iveson

go to  Gorodizche

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[6] Just when the Sun have disappeared, you've reached Gorodizche. The few buildings are still in quite good shape. You can see some light coming from windows. Maybe the village is inhabited by people who didn't left when disaster happened? You go to one of smaller huts and knock to the door. The lights went off. No one opens, but Moon is shining strong enough that you were able to spot someone in the window. You think that you saw an egg shaped, crooked man.

Nix

"To hell with this."

Choke the guy to death, then keep exploring.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[1] You try to choke him to death, but the soldier has lungs of a professional diver!

[4] You bash him in the head again instead and go out to explore. The corridor leads straigt to downward staircase, there are rooms labeled "X-16", "X-15/6" and "C-24" on it's sides. You check the keys and see that you can open these doors. You wonder what might be inside, that they need to guard it so much.

[5] Trying to remain calm, you start meditating, sitting seemingly motionless. You didn't even noticed that it was already dark! However, your deep thoughts on yourself and The Zone, instinct and survival increased your trust to gut feelings and intuitive choices!

- Intuition increased by 1! -

[4] Anomaly shifts again, you take some dirt and throw it around, finding a safe way out of anomaly.

[ManMan]

So the artifact is still in my Inventory? That's what the op says.
"Great, now if someone spits on me I die."
Rest.

[Sosoku234]

"I must help my comrades. They sent out a distress signal." Continue on my way to, Hubyn.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

"Hello!"
Say hi.

[NAV]

"Hello. Can you help me I seem to be lost and confused?"
Act like a very lost confused person.

[Dark One]

So the artifact is still in my Inventory? That's what the op says.

((Forgot to change that, but you can easily pick up some black shards of it from the ground in next turn... ))

[crazyabe]

((Why does it seem that these guys aren't "friendly", but are instead "Suicidal"?))
I Might as well see where it's trying to direct me...

[NRDL]

Open Room X-16, gun at the ready.

[Dark One]

Turn 9 - everyone except Dustan

The Moon shines high up in the sky.

Ronald Roman

"Great, now if someone spits on me I die."
Rest.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[6] You immediately fall asleep and rest. Numerous black shards of artifact that just exploded lodged firmly in your flesh. If not for unusual properties of black ichor, stored within shards, you'd be dead in no time. However, spikes quicken your regeneration. What about radioactivity? Black ichor is strongly radioactive, but somehow you feel no effects of it working upon you - the hedgehog might've been an artifact that affects you depending on substance it works with, reducing negative effects of substance and improving positive ones!

- You recover your whole HP! -

Latest adventures made you grow stronger and quicker. You adapt to the Zone's conditions.

- Your strenght increases by 1! -
- Your dexterity increases by 1! -

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[5] The husk leads you another way around. You hardly see anything in the darkness as treetops block the moonlight, and after a while you both reach a small bunker. There are more husks wandering there. The one that leads you says:

- Transport... incoming...

After whole this day you feel drowsy.
You lose 10 fatigue.

Anna Iveson

"Hello!"
Say hi.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[6] The sky is clear, Moon is shining strong so you can see most objects around you. Suddenly your vision gets blurry and everything starts spinning. You say:

- Hello!

Suddenly the doors open, revealing a crooked, egg shaped man with ugly face. His hands lit up by moonlight seem extremely muscular. Without even moving his lips he says:

- Are you lost little girl? I'll shelter you for this night!

His words echo in you head, every blurry object you see spins around quicker and quicker, your vision turns red. You barely stand on your feet, and drowsiness isn't helping with that.

You lose 10 fatigue

Nardo Polo

"Hello. Can you help me I seem to be lost and confused?"
Act like a very lost confused person.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[5] You stop just in front of a confused soldier and try to fool him that you're just lost in the wilderness, as if you were member of a guided tour that split from the tour. You say:

- Hello. Can you help me I seem to be lost and confused?
- Identify yourself! - one of the soldiers starts with standard procedure, but another disturbs him:
- I think I saw him with a guided tour!. They left exclusion Zone a few hours ago. What should we do with him?

[4] Soldiers ponder for a while. One of them, probably leader of the squad says to you:

- Now, you look like Zone really tried to get you... - then turns to another soldier with words: - Escort him to Hubyn then go back to your duties.

You've had a lot of luck that they believed you, but now they'd take you to your boss! You follow them, walking clumsily. You feel drowsy.

You lose 10 fatigue

Nix

Open Room X-16, gun at the ready.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's been a long time since you've entered the building. Through a window you see nearby forest in moonlight. You yawn, checking a key to closest room - "X-16" chamber.

You lose 10 fatigue

[2] You open the door and wander inside, keeping your gun at ready just in case. There seem to be two chairs and another room isolated with heavy steel doors. They seem to be opened. Without checking what's inside through a visor you open the door and in a blink of an eye somethig moves and disappears with loud hiss!

- A new mutant type has been discovered! -

Fisk Black

"I must help my comrades. They sent out a distress signal." Continue on my way to, Hubyn.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just as you wanted to leave, you hear someone talking through communicator:

- Leave your equipment in armory and head for nearest barracks soldiers. Stalkers, continue your missions. The threat has been identified as a lost guided tour member, and thus is escorted to city of Hubyn!

[5] You stop closely to the CHP. It's a really short walk back, and in the distance you still can see the truck to Chernobyl city! You could use your communicator to tell others that you're driving with them, or stay in base for the night.

[NRDL]

Open fire into the room.

[Sosoku234]

"Hm. Chernobyl awaits." Climb in the truck and report my destination.

[ManMan]

Guess I'll keep the spikes lodged in my flesh.
