    20 acres of land cleared, 18 rp remaining. The FIRST LEVEL of the city is cleared and being looted. IMMIGRATION has been approved. Because Riker is guarding the road he will not let personal treasure shipments through.

    Intel: French Foreign legion has been spotted reinforcing French mining company forces. Rebel french and remnant Death Tribe natives are fighting them in the jungles to the Northwest.

    You were last escorting a member of Tesla's Research team into the second level of the city. Riker acted up and shot you and is currently in chains.

    The Force you are leading into the city is as follows.

    15 Rifles
    6 Grenadiers
    10 Mercs

    And two Gatling trucks at the entrance of the city for fall back and a couple of natives more guidance.
    ORDERS?

    Winston was sent into the city with 10 mercs a week prior to explore and report back. As he was not scheduled to return for another week a link up is not out of the question.

    Last time the vote was to go with the drone. We don't need to stick to that, but I'd like some good In character arguments for why a brave British officer shouldnt. Also this gives you a chance to link up with Winston. (now that Riker went sorta crazy he might be needed).

    Fair enough; I just don't want Riker to off himself or turn back and return to his former self. I trust Godfried; he's quite the capable manservant, but some things just nag at me if I leave them to others. If we can go to the Lost City without worry of our injury, then I suppose we'd best do so.

    If you want you can ORDER more guards for Riker, he definately won't try to escape from Grenadiers, and they saw him shoot you, so they should be good. The French are quite occupied at the moment with teh natives, therefore the camp is fairly safe.

    Alright. You are a British officer, who went into the jungle with 100 men and established a colony. You built it up through colony shipments and it now is bustling. However you are near a city that although full of loot is also full of danger. You are currently escorting a scientist into this city to study the various magicks. You will pick up the rest.

    Right, we are Roarke and we are in charge of this colony on the Dark Continent (Africa). We have settled around a silver mine, and are attempting to make ourselves self-sufficient. We have a mandate from the Industrial Union, which is why we get supply convoys from them, and are from the Glorious British Empire, and so get Royal Convoys every so often.

    We face Death Tribe Natives, the devious French, the greedy Americans and in the Lost city, the mystical Snake Tribe who are known to use powerful voodoo magic.

    Riker is a hyperzealous British officer. This is the Victorian Steampunk period. He shot us because the scientist we are helping has illegal body modifications and he follows the king's laws to the letter.

    The French mining company is currently split by infighting as it searches for rare metals in the jungle. They have a shady partnership with the Americans that has not been explored.

    Your men fan out around the drone and the trucks. It is an uneventful trip to the city, as you have cover from your glider as well as the road bunker and the watchtower you built to watch the city. You get to the main entrance, with the steps still stained by blood. The drone waddlesteps as though in a trance and somehow moves faster than a normal jog. Many men are forced into a run. The main hall is dark as the magical torches have run out like the life of the shaman. When you get to the section of the hall in which the shaman appeared the drone suddenly stops moving and starts throwing handfuls of dust into its backpack. ORDERS?

    Perhaps. Grenadiers were specialized troops meant specifically to employ grenades back in the day when grenades were basically heavy miniature blackpowder bombs. Over the years this "special" status evolved into the Grenadiers becoming elite forces, long after grenades fell out of favor (and stayed that way for decades.)

    Given the time period, grenades aren't very popular as an infantry weapon, and won't come back into their own until closer to WWI. On the other hand, we do have early steamtanks, so who knows.

    My suspicion is that if we want grenades, we're going to have to make them and devote resources to said task.

    Stay with our Drone, keeping a sharp lookout. Affix bayonets if we don't have them out already, in these close quarters we might need them.

    You move forward. you hear gunshots in the distance and you see the flash of flintlocks. You hear garbled english. The drone stops on the floor to get another sample. Investigate or not?

    Send our quietest man forward to scout- carefully. Lend him your shaving mirror to look around corners.

    If our most experienced man happens to be GLORIOUS LEADER personally, go himself, and take a grenadier for company.

    Winston is standing on top of a pile of native corpses. He is wearing a french helmet, breastplate, and two flintlock pistols. Two wounded mercs are next to him surrounded by martini casings. 3 dead mercs are next to them. His breastplate has at least 30 arrows in it, and he is surrounded by 10 natives armed with hatchets. ORDERS?

    You take the natives by total surprise and kill them all but 2 of them who climb into what you thought were not-hollow eyes in states mounted along the wall. Winston has an arrowhead in his right shoulder and has no ammo. He reports that...there is apparently a smaller native population down here, but that might be wrong as they seem sneakier. They never even come out when there is noise from the first level like out treasure excavators. Strange. ORDERS?

    Inform Winston that he is an agent of Death Incarnate, and produce a cigar to celebrate his amazing badassery.

    Attend to our wounded, and re-join our main party. We're too deep in the city and our numbers too few to risk evacuating the wounded, so if they're walking, let's keep them.

    Pass Winston our pistol- he certainly knows how to use the goddamn thing- because he won't be good with a rifle with a shoulder wounded. We'll take a Martini-Henry from one of the dead mercs, and their ammo/nades.

    We got ambushed by a group of French running towards the surface. They GAVE us this stuff (he points at his gear) in order to run faster. The natives have accounted for all 8 of the mia/casualties, and anyone I put on watch disappeared, but we were never actually attacked until today. ORDERS? THERORIES?

    Could be some other tribe. They might fear the Snake Tribe above, which could explain their hiding when there is noise above. Let's see what the native guides have to say about this. Though hearing their butcher of our glorious language does burden my ears so.

    First idea- perhaps making noise and walking around like we hain't afeered o'nuthin is a good strategy, all things considered.

    Make pithy comment about Frenchmen running.

    Pass this information onto the Drone, this might interest him, vis a vis his mission to study said voodoo.

    So not even the native guides know wtf is going on down here. Ask them about the other tribe who's asses Winston just rocked.
