Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau

Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
After several days of walk, you find yourselves atop a small crest in sight of a massive, abrupt cliff rising five hundred feet up from the jungle floor. This must be the isolated plateau depicted in the Soldier’s tomb map—the final landmark which points to the lost city of Paititi. Its towering stone walls are dark gray and rough. Thick, low-lying clouds, likely steam vapor from an unseen geyser or other volcanically-heated pool, wreath the plateau in a billowy shroud. The air has a moist smell to it and feels charged with primal energy. Occasional dark, leather-winged shapes flit about the edges of its inaccessible shelf high above, and the screeches in the sky are unlike those of any bird.

Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
Butch will get his tools organized in his outfit, his belt and his tool box. After that is done, he will pack his outdoor camping gear with as much food and water as he can manage. Finally, he will get his weapons, keeping his machete in hand.
"Are we going to have to climb?" He speculates out loud.

"Looks like it," says Harry. "Unless there's a hidden cave with a tunnel leading up or something. Good thing I brought rope." He looks upward. "Are those pterodactyls? We just keep making the most incredible discoveries!"

Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
Fr Malone strains his neck to take in the towering wall of rock. 'Climb that? You have got to be kidding me' he splutters taking a long pull on his bottle of whiskey. Alex peers up at the dark shapes circling the shelf trying to make them out.
Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
OOC: Is there an equipment weight chart somewhere? Crowley will bring everything listed in his character sheet plus spare ammunition for the various firearms. He'll also bring binoculars, flashlight, compass, magnifying glass, water bottle and some rope. Finally, if that is still under 20kg, rations, a machete and camping gear would seem a good idea. |
Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
OOC: By the way, I just remembered now: you have your "double characters" that can take an extra 10 kg each. But only Alex and Harry doubles can bring 10 kg of new material from the boat, because the stuff that Butch and Crowley bring are much heavier (all those weapons, tools, radio...).

45 revolver
machete

Double barreled 12 gauge shotgun (4d6/2d6/1d6 / 10-20-50 yards / 1-2 / 2 shot)

Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
OOC: You have several kind of tools, weapons, tents, food, radio, ropes, medical equipment. The only thing missing is a photographic machine (I'm pretty sure, that one of those old machines would cover the 10 kg). And you can always bring extra food and ammo

Re: Chapter 4- The Lost Plateau
Father Malone hands his assistant Maria Paraguaçu a machete, 'take this my dear, you might need it, perhaps you could carry that fuel can if you have the room'.
