Chapter 1: The Arrival

This forum is for discussing events and challenges that take place during Chapter 1 of the Maple Hill scenario.
Five years ago...
The camera pans over the vast prairie desert, with a falcon soaring overhead. As the camera follows the bird's flight path, we hear the sound of a faint whistle in the distance, growing louder and more distinct. Suddenly, there's a flash of light and a deafening boom as a gunshot echoes through the valley.
Cut to a one-eyed guard spitting out his chew tobacco. “Got you!” he hisses and reloaded his rifle. The sun was setting and that falcon had been flying the same route for the last month. Never get stuck in a rut. His father had told him, that was over thirty years ago. He had failed miserably. The outlook watch was his spot. It was on him to take down whoever tried to crawl away from the prison.
Present day...
The camera flickers and cuts to the entrance of Maple Hill Prison, where four new guards are arriving with supplies from Fort Greene, 80 miles west of Maple Hill.
This is where you start the scenario. A bit beat by the ride. No one is at the gates. No one can be seen manning the tower. Only the wind hisses. The gates are closed.
