Chapter 1: Ambush - Run for your life !

Alternate future, post WWII apocalyptic game.

More than 80 years ago, the war known as WWII broke in Europe, now, in the year of 2020 most of the world is a barren wasteland caused by the many nuclear and bio-weapon that were used by the Reich's empire of "Germania" to dominate most of the planet.
You are simple prisoners on the British penalty island that was known in the past to be the United Kingdom. A chance to escape from the terror regime came up, will you succeed?

Yeah, that water ain' free flowin' an' is probly stagnant though - best if we boil it up or we gonna be up-chuckin' and squittin' our insides out.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

"Too right," says Liz. "We can heat it with the lantern, but we'll need some stuff in order to set up a still. Let's keep exploring and see what we can find."

Several places around that you now see if you like to explore:
The swimming pool, the tennis court, the shed and the two story building.

"Let's check out the shed first," suggests Liz. "Seems a likely place to find stuff."

"Um, I don't think it's a good idea to split up," says Liz, "especially seeing as I've got the only lantern."

You proceed along the metal fence of the tennis court and past the decorative ooze filled waterfall basin to the shed.

The shed's door is open wide, seems like the shed was looted a long time ago. The remains of rotting wood chairs and parasols lie on the floor. A rake leans on the wall, it's looks useful. [rake: weapon - 1d4 damage]

From where you stand you can see the pool more clearly, the remains of big torn tarp hangs above the pool, hanged from 4 poles around the pool. the pool is filled with water, though, a blanket of dead leaves covers almost the entire water surface from the trees around.

"Anyone want a rake?" asks Liz. "My hands are full, and it won't fit in my toolbox. We could use it to move those leaves on the pool's surface aside and look at the water beneath."

Jeffrey takes the rake from Liz and nods.

"Ugh, I hope so too," says Liz. "Let's check out the pool first, since it's right here. You can move the leaves aside with the rake so we can see what the water looks like. Then we can try the main house."

You set aside some of the leaves to check the pool, sending minor waves along it. There is something floating - the corpse of a dead animal, a boar maybe.
The water are dark and you cannot see the bottom but faint numbers along the pool's edge indicate the depth.

"Can you snag that dead thing with the rake and drag it closer?" asks Liz, her mouth already watering. "I wonder if it's safe to eat."

You grab the dead corpse of the boar. God's knows why it died but the things began to rot
Eating it without cooking it is not wise, we need to setup a fire using the oil from the lantern. but we need some tools to prepare it first and remove the wound area where it began to rot. maybe we'll find some kitchen tools in the main building.

The door is closed but with a slight push it gives way and opens. The entrance is dark, but you can identify the outline of a reception window on your left and a sign of restrooms on the doors to the right. A wide corridor leads further into the darkness.

What are the chances we'll find water in the restrooms ?

"Oh, I dearly hope so," says Liz. "My throat's a bloody desert. Let's check the restrooms first."
