The first couple greenskins fall easily, we can even shoot them right from the start because they can't shoot back!
Some get close, but Azura watches over us with her huge sword.
We hear some fighting, and it is not only civvis dying. Someone even managed to make that blue lobster thing (IT LOOKS YUMMY) bleed.
There is a lull in the fighting, so we go out.
FUCK!
I can't even kill her killer, because I have more pressing things to do. We've seen that thing reduce someone to a puddle, it is freaking dangerous! Let's call it fartbag!
It falls to my axe, and Rolan7 subdues a green one that walked into the van.
NOOOOO, nobody cares about whatever her name was, but Coconut was one of our best, if not the best.
I get severly wounded but the first killer, Azura helps me stop the bleeding and then the lobster jumps from the roof, I can barely evade him
[he actually displaced me, never saw that before!], but I can't evade his claws anymore. I go down bleeding.
Azura manages to hit and kill the bastard! Then she carries me back to the van. Good Gal! She proceeds to avenge Coconut while Rolan7 brings me back to my feet. But I am severly wounded and manage to not kill that bastard right in front of me. While firing both barrels, no less.
Rolan7 is hopeless with melee weapons and carries a cannon at the moment, but Azura rounds the corner just in time to put him down with her magnum.
Oh ... oh.
Azura can kill one as he closes in, but where is the other one? Anyway, we have more trouble coming.
I get hit once again, by a greenskin that comes into the van. Bleeding again. But Azura and Rolan7 safe me yet again!
By now the back door of the van is completly destroyed, we can't rely on hiding behind it anymore.
But the space behind the van keeps filling up with green bodies.
By now Rolan7 has exhausted our supply of ammo for the double barrels and the heavy shotguns are where our fallen comrades are. The Magnum is long empty as well, so Azura has an old six shooter, but she relies more on her axe anyway. Rolan7 goes and grabs his Boarding Gun. He has to use it immediately to dispose of yet another intruder into the van. And not just any intruder, a Fartbag that somehow managed to miss twice. Maybe it shot against the roof.
Azura on the other hand tries to axe a blue one, but has to retreat before she can finish the task.
He follows her, but the hits must have slowed him down!
Me? Oh, kill the bastard first, then maybe try and give me something to drink.
Two salvos from the boarding gun don't seem to do anything, but Azuras axe strikes true, and she even has the time to feed me some water. Good gal, but I repeat myself.
We (or rather Rolan7 and Azura) hear fewer and fewer enemies. One more blue lobster falls to the Axe, and Rolan7 decides that now might be the time to subdue a greenskin (the other one woke up and had to be put down.) Azura has her axe ready in case Rolan7 misses too much (she really needs to practice some close combat) ...
... but she needn't have worried.
It was the last one!
And I was so
nervous wounded I forgot the winning screenshot. But there were around 46 dead enemies of which we killed almost 40. One lucky civilian even survived somehow. Even though most died, the gouvernments seemed to appreciate our performance and gave us a thumbs up. Good for them.
In her first mission against them Azura became a Bane of Depth Dwellers, which means she alone killed at least 15. Both her and Rolan7 are blood and black widows.
All survivors learned something and we finally got new apples!
RIP Coconut!
Oh, and Plain, I guess.
I am relieved of my duty, because this time my wounds are serious, I'll be out of commision for almost 3 months. 60 days reckons the nurse. That is no good, If I lead, I want to lead from the front. So let's have a vote again, or something. I really don't care, just give me more painkillers.
With that, one last research thing that popped up right after midnight: our search for the captor of the original founders yielded something:
As my last order I told the brainers to research the dead greenskins, so we can maybe butcher their corpses.
And with that, the usual report:
-----------------------
That was some pretty intense fighting at the end. I was tempted to leave, and would have if more bad things had happened. Didn't loose a single gal in two months, and then 2 on my last day. Damn!
Will add the save as soon as I can. Will probably need a new password first.
The next captain needs to hire people for the new hideout, the outpost was finished on the 30th or something, so I figured we save the money and I'll let the next one hire them. Some very basic equipment is at hand.
I also sold the speeder to buy something else, then remembered that the codex is close and we might have codex ships soon, so didn't buy a new ship.
We have warrior armor (I built 2, I think), but I am among those that don't really like it. It is ok for some missions, but usually I prefer speed. Or power armor. The sprints I did in the ratman raider mission would not have been possible with warrior armor.
If you need some more money, there is quite a few things that can be sold and I didn't touch the purses and money bags, so we can disassemble those as well. Also apples.
And here is the save:
