Tunnel Complex, 300D/81 (Late Afternoon)
Rest and Recovery in Hagalton is decided over risking an encounter and battle with the Gam’A Morlocks. You spend a good half an hour hauling loot from the station stop to the two Pod Vehicles, after reuniting the fungal amoeba with its lost segment. The amorphous creature thanks you for the assistance and asks to be returned to the fungal forest (in the outside canyon) from where it was captured by the Thorax Scavengers.
The pods shuttle you and your cargo back to the cave entrance without incident. The trip takes an hour and forty minutes.
Upon reaching the cave pocket at the entrance, you realize the pack animals have met a demise. The drot swyne and pard horse carcasses lie where they died, harnessed to the rail. The quicksten (flightless bird) is missing. The carts are parked, undisturbed, with your rations neatly stowed. A quick examination of the dead animals determines that they died from multiple puncture wounds from a thorn or stinger, possibly nocturnal Gam’A Bees.
OOC: The animals were here for three nights. I chose Luck to determine if they had an encounter; your Luck. I averaged the group’s current Luck score (3) and gave each animal a Luck check against the bees. All failed. Low Luck, especially 0, has consequences.
Without the pack animals, you must carry all the cargo and reduce your rate of travel. Silvestri’s movement also hampers the pace. What was 8 days travel to Hagalton has become 14 days. Luckily you have 17-days of rations.

Gam’A Zone, 304D/81 (Early Afternoon)
After 4 days of travel, you are about 8 miles from the Zone Barrier and near the hills and canyon to the west of your route. A movement is spotted out to the west and before you are able to investigate, a low, dark animal, 12-14ft long, darting in and out of fresh ground burrows begins to zig-zag towards your location. It is a couple hundred feet away.
