IC

The player characters are agents of a secret conspiracy within the U.S. government known as Delta Green. The Group (as it is known) has pulled some strings within the agents' day jobs to get them sent to Afghanistan, and now they have a mission. DG's insistence on operational security means that the agents know next to nothing about what they're doing other than: Collect intelligence, and, if a supernatural threat exists, end it.

"Thank you," says Craig. "I'm glad to have you aboard."

TYner gives his best pep talk to some of the other soldiers. He thinks it went over pretty well.

I just hope I'm not leading these guys into something they can't handle.

Tyner:

You manage to get one solider, PFC Price, to volunteer. He says that even if he can't save the guys who went missing, he can at least avenge them.

He shakes Price's hand. "Welcome aboard. We need a good man like you."

Time to get ready to go back.

While this is happening Alex has been preparing gear for the journey. Is there any last minute preparations any of you want to make before the second expedition?

Tyner will check to make sure the first aid kit he carries has everything it needs, with all the medications in date and enough supplies to deal with treatable injuries.

OOC,I don't remember if I asked for it before, but can we get a satellite phone in case we can't get through on the radio?

OOC:   FOB Turner can spare one satellite phone so you will have to decide who carries it.  
The morning comes and the three agents, Rahimi, and Price load up in a chopper. The day is clear and hot, and as you are flying you spot no signs of the attackers from the previous day. The helicopter drops you off at the base of Varjita Mountain. Now you have a hike ahead of you to where you suspect Kali Ghati to be. Do you give the pilots a time to return to pick you up?

OOC,Either of the other two would be a better choice to carry the sat phone, as they have much higher STR than I do. How far away do we believe Kali Ghati is from here?

Based on the information you collected you would expect a one to two hour hike.

OOC,Shall we have the chopper return in twelve hours, and then again in twelve more if we miss the rendezvous? We can also call for it sooner in an emergency.

Tyner agrees to carry the phone as well as the medkit. The others can have the heavier weapons. A sidearm is enough for him. The plan to have the choppers check back sounds like a good one. Time to synchronize watches and head out.

The path up and beyond the mountain is steep, but fortunately it can be hiked without anyone having to climb or use special gear. As you go, your GPS and even compasses sporadically give you trouble. The compass needle sometimes claims that “east” is on the wrong side of the morning sun. Electronics warble and occasionally surge and spark.

At one point, what your watches claim to be half an hour into the hike but feels like much longer, Alex points out that your group has somehow managed to go in a circle pointing out a couple landmarks he is sure you have already passed, and Price quickly agrees with him. Anyone with Survival above base realizes they are right.

Over the spur of the mountain, the path leads into a valley. A small village squats at the far end, two kilometers away, in the shadow of limestone cliffs. Not long after entering the valley, what you remember the locals call The Black Valley, you all notice a change in plant life. The scrubby grass and bushes are ugly and diseased looking. Tyner realizes that they are infested with some sort of fungus, but not one he recognizes. Either of you can take samples of the fungus if you wish.

Tyner takes a sample of the fungus, careful to avoid touching it, and sealing it up securely. "Might be infectious," he says. "Could explain why we're disoriented, if it's got psychoactive properties. Everybody be careful to stay alert, report anything abnormal."

He knows the fungus isn't the full explanation, but doesn't dare mention anything else to those outside of Delta Green.

Craig nods and carefully surveys their surroundings. "Shall we proceed to the village?" he asks.

As you stand in the valley you realize how unsettlingly quite it is. There are no birds chirping or insects buzzing. At almost the same time that Craig asks his question a moan of either pain or ecstasy rises from the village and then slowly dwindles. The air is once again still and silent.

I don't like the sound of that but we've got a job to do.

Tyner addresses the men who aren't used to Delta Green business. "I have to warn you that you may hear and see strange things. Psychological warfare. Just concentrate on the mission and stay alert. Let's go."

Craig moves with the others towards the village, keeping alert to his surroundings.

The village at the far end of the valley is ancient and decaying. Wooden buildings with mud mortar slowly rot in the shadows of the cliffs. Sickly goats wander in and out of rickety pens. The odor of mold and rot and lye is almost overwhelming. Around every crumbling doorframe letters are carved. Craig recognizes them as an old, debased form of Persian. They describe an ancient priest who has lived under the ground forever and knows the ways of the stars and all the worlds and the future.

Craig reads out his translation to the others. "Have you ever heard of anything like this?" he asks Rahimi.
