Event:1925/06/17 Ambush
We follow the Canning Stock Route for about a day and a half.
In the evening of the 17th, while Chun Li is driving, Chun Li and Lloyd both notice[1] something ding off the front of the truck. Lloyd calls out to stop, and then the window shatters as we realize we're being shot at. Chun Li starts driving defensively. Lloyd notices[1] that there's a few tall rocks with at least one sniper present. Gurumarra points out[1] the sniper to Charles and he takes a shot, missing, but close enough to cause the sniper to take cover. Chun Li stops the truck broadside to the attackers. Lloyd rolls out of the door, fumbles for his revolver, and looks around but doesn't see anything. Chun Li takes a bullet in the shoulder from a second sniper. Charles spots the second sniper that hit Chun Li along with noticing that someone is on the ground ahead of us. Gurumarra, Chun Li, and Lloyd move forward to grab cover while Charles takes aim and explodes one of the sniper's heads with his rifle. Charles takes a bullet from the other sniper in response, and the concealed combatant on the ground takes aim at Lloyd, though Lloyd's careful doding[2] is enough to avoid the shot. Gurumarra throws a spear into the ground combatant, and Charles explodes the head of the other sniper. Chun Li lays down some suppressing fire and then Lloyd takes careful aim with his 9mm and kills the 3rd combatant. Gurumarra and Charles apply first aid to our wounded[3] and we check out their remains and collect their weapons. They were well stocked with water and supplies for a day or so. They don't have a truck, but there are tire tracks nearby indicating that they were probably dropped off. We collect 2 30-06 bolt action rifles (2d6+4 damage) and a .32 revolver (1d8 damage). No one loses sanity from seeing the bodies. They're white folks with sand bat tatoos. Lloyd assesses damage to the truck[4] and ensures it's running optimally. We believe it's likely that a rotation of guards will be by in the morning, so we want to get away from the area.
We drive about an hour off the beaten path to make camp for the evening.
