Ch.1b Scouting Party (Benjamin & Boyd)
Wednesday, 29 October 1986, 08:45hrs.
Stikine River Valley, Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia
Leaving the others to fashion a stretcher/sledge for Gavin, Benjamin and Boyd set out, following the pipeline. At first, the going was reasonably good, with the day starting cold, but clear. That barely lasted for an hour though before a blizzard blew in, reducing visibility significantly, even if the valley sheltered them from the worst of it. Thankfully, they had the pipeline, guiding them onwards even as the driving snow reduced the distance they could see to mere metres ahead.
A particularly dense flurry did manage to obscure the pipeline at one point but they could see the dark bulk of the next support not far ahead…

"There's a discoloration in the snow," says Benjamin. "It looks red. Could be blood. Let's take a closer look."

Moving slowly forward with his weapon ready just in case, Benjamin rounded the support pillar to find the source of the red snow. Hung upside down against with his back against the pillar was the body of a man, his torso and face crimson with congealed and freezing blood. His stomach and chest cavities had been torn open and as Benjamin’s eye’s followed the ‘rope’ from which the man was suspended, he quickly realised that he had been hung up with his own intestines.
Looking back at the man’s face, two things became apparent. Firstly, the silent scream and wide eyes told him that the man had been alive when this happened. Secondly, the body was that of Ryan Harris - their missing pilot!

"The only kind of beast that could have done this is the kind that walks on two legs," says Benjamin, gripping his M16 and looking around for tracks in the snow.

Boyd was shocked with the vision of the pilot: he quickly looked at his missing fingers but recognized that this was much worseand immediatly recovered.
"You are right. Those wolves were some nice chaps compared with who did this. Should we bury him? At least in the snow, it is the christian thing to do, and then return to warn the others."
OOC: I rolled twice the dices to get the worst result (it is how I interpreted the rules), but by luck I passed both.

"I agree we need to bury him," says Benjamin, "but that can wait. Warning the others cannot. The cold will preserve him, and he won't get any more dead. The others might, if they remain unaware. Or we might, if whoever did this is still in the area and catches us off guard while we're digging a grave. We need to go tell the main group now, and then return with them once they're ready to go. We can't have just one of us go back. We'll be even more vulnerable splitting up, and we all have to stick together going forward."

"Very well"- he says reluctant
"We need for now own to keep someone in pairs awake at night."

"Now that I take a closer look," says Benjamin, "this looks like it might have been the work of a bear. The flesh was torn, not cut by a blade. It's no less dangerous for that, however. We still need to warn the others and stick together."
