Loading up the vaccine into a syringe, Alex goes looking for the others. 'If we're going to help these people we're going to need to be vaccinated ourselves. Any volunteers?'

"Do we have time to do that now?" asks Harry. "We need to get people into the tunnel fast. I've already organized about 60 of them."

"We only have thirty doses, but we don't have to worry," says Harry. "It can't spread by personal contact, only by ingesting the tainted stuff."

  Fail.  

Holding a revolver to Shapiro's back, Crowley hauled him out and addressed the remaining camp occupants, trying to convince them to escape with the party. Unfortunately, he had never been a good politician or competent public speaker.

(As his lecture students would attest.)

'How do we know the infection cannot spread with consuming the food. I saw those yellow buboes erupting and killing that woman. It doesn't seem unlikely that it can still be spread between people. And Shapiro said the vaccine can only help those in Stage 1 of the disease, after that it is useless. What spread of infection do we have in the people here? And are Captain Lancaster and his men outside the blast zone of the bomb?' Alex is far from convinced by the current plan.

Jan curses and loads her elephant gun. She fires it into the air, the boom reverberates around the jungle,
“Everyone get moving- or I shall get cross!” She shouts at the natives and points her gun at them.
Intimidate 15, roll 34. Jan just doesn’t have people skills- of any sort

"Then we'll inject whoever is willing from among those who are no further along than the first stage, for as long as the supplies last, with priority to those in Stage 1," says Harry. "Everyone else can wait until we're able to manufacture more. We'll all survive in the tunnel after the bomb goes off, and then we can come back to the surface. If the vaccine works, then those who have been injected will be safe even if other people can spread it. And if it doesn't work, then it doesn't really matter who gets it and who doesn't."

Still unconvinced, Alex nevertheless shrugs and steps up to show the locals the vaccine. 'Ladies and gentlemen. I have here a cure for this cursed infection. Those of you who choose to accompany us to safety will have the opportunity to avail of it if you wish. Now hurry please...'

Jan watches the locals as Father Alex gives his speech. “I’m not sure they’ve ever heard of The Lord; they seem quite unimpressed.” She says, looking at their blank faces.

Even with +15, Jan misses her intimidate by 4, I’ll spend 4 luck…

Jan fires her elephant gun. The natives panic and run into the jungle… (hopefully in the right direction?)

Intimidate 15 (+15 for gun)
1d100


OOC:   Hard Success on Intimidate. If it helps I can spend 2 luck and make it an extreme success.  

Once he finishes examining the alien bomb, Butch will brandish his pistol and yell at the locals. "This thing is going to blow up. Everybody needs to leave NOW!

He will take one of the doses of vaccine and give it to himself as he heads to the safe area they came from.

Alex administers himself a dose and follows Butch. 'God helps those who help themselves, at least so the ancient Greeks thought.'

With the extreme success, you get 120 people instead of 60.
Between your successes, Jan and Mr Handy, you get practicaly everyone running in the right direction.
You go to the jungle, weapons in the hand, with all thatb people afraid (except the ones that Mr Handy persuaded). The group is going slowly, because a lot of the people is sick and cannot walk fast.

Tic tac.
1 hour have passed. Some of you notice that the forest is getting... strange. Plants with strange shapes. Weird noises. Small furtive animals that you only see their shadows.

Please everyone make a spot hidden roll.

Alex is preoccupied vaccinating as many of the people as he can, and notices little of their changing surroundings.
