Closer to Escape.

Table setup - mostly wooded terrain.

Sam is continuing to try to escape from No Hope. This time it is a wandering encounter to try and get more resources and trek closer to the spaceport. The area was heavily wooded with only one clear patch. Leaving at daybreak to get a head start on the day he started exploring.

Sam discovers a settlement.

Almost immediately he encountered a settlement of three vacant buildings and three houses. True to form as a thief, Sam decided to loot the vacant buildings. Checking the first two vacant buildings resulted in finding nothing. The next building was a house.

Sam encounters a Razor ganger.

I generated the NPC as a Neutral Razor Ganger(Rep 5,Fit 4,Pep 3,Sav 5 Pack). I failed the People challenge so the encounter switched to combat. The Razor attacked first with a mental blast. Sam had to use Star Power to reduce the effects of a stun result. A couple of lucky pistol shots and Sam dispatched the Razor.

Sam leaves the settlement.

Sam recovered some food and a bolt action rifle. The next order of business was to get the heck out of dodge. Sam left the area.

The encounter was a success. Some food and another weapon was found.
