Ch.1b Scouting Party (Benjamin & Boyd)

October 1986. Contact with Exxon Pumping Station #31 in British Columbia has been lost and a rescue team has been assembled.

The environmental activist group, North Wind, had threatened to bring operations to a halt. Could they be behind this sudden communication failure, or is something else going on?

"That is a relief... I think. It means it has probably eaten and now won't bother us. Yes, let's return quickly."

Turning about, Benjamin and Boyd found themselves heading back downriver, buffeted by the wind and driving snow. The dividing line between the land and water was indistinct and their footing was unsure, sometimes finding themselves propelled along the ice, trying not to fall.

CON checks, please.

Boyd is finally feeling the cold.

"Let's return to the tent quickly, I think the temperature is dropping or something".

Lead by Benjamin the two men pushed on, making their way back towards the rest of the party. The snow swirled in the blustery wind and at times, they could barely see a few yards in front.

At one point, they thought they heard a noise, and a tall, dark shadow appeared passed before them as if for a moment, but then the snow cleared again and three figures emerged, with a fourth being towed behind on a makeshift sled…
