However on their way are two threats - a band of Askari brigands and a pack of Raptors

The Askari brigands exit the clearing, heading straight for the creatures; but the Raptors close quickly

A large Achillobator stalks through the jungle

The other Achillobator rushes with lightening pace to pounce on an Askari

Captain Lewis, along with his sister and her husband Reverend Johnston race for the car. However in the scramble to get into the car Lewis discharges his pistol and hits his brother-in-law (only the man's sturdy cap saves him from a serious wound). Lewis bundles him into the car to recover from his concussion

Mrs Johnston storms off towards the house while Lewis is distracted - she spots an Askari running hell-for-leather away from the beasts

He's followed by another Askari - Tehpoe, who is caught from behind by a Raptor

The crafty Achillobator sneaks into the shed, and approaches the parked car

The Askari has scurried up the chimney to safety, but the Achillobator clambered up onto the roof after him!

Having downed the Achillobator in the shed Lewis and Johnston walk inside to put the beast down

Tehpoe is outnumbered, but somehow manages to kill one of the Raptors

The Revered rounds the corner and doesn't seem too worried about his accuracy - his shotgun maims the Raptor but leaves the Askari unharmed

Tehpoe is finally slain by one of the surviving Raptors

The two Raptors here are being fended off by the Reverend, but they seem to spot easier prey in Mrs Johnston
![Raptors spot

racing after her, her attempts to defend herself result in a lost shotgun and she shrieks in terror to run blindly into the jungle

The badly wounded Achillobator, having eaten the Askari on the rooftop, struggles to descend until Lewis' car stalls just beside the house

The Reverend Johnston, striding purposefully to kill a Raptor is blindsided by the wounded Achillobator
![Reverend blindsided](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6099/6303217207_080f500d5f.jpg)
Taking cover behind some boxes Lewis and Johnston fend off the remaining two beasts, who slink off into the jungle
![Going for cover](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6039/6303743834_7c2ac446f3.jpg)
But what will happen to Mrs. Johnston, alone in the jungle and without anything to defend herself with?
Brilliant! What rules were you using?
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart - used my own homegrown rules "Perilous Trail". Hopefully I'll be able to polish them up and publish them here soon
ReplyDeleteAnd the main thing was - the right man lost.
ReplyDeleteHoly s...t! Fantastic game and setup.
