>{Vignet/ side quest}A Sizable Pileup in the Road.
The Truck traverses a feeder road parallel with a clogged elevated freeway. Block after block the truck is hemmed in by the freeway to the left, and open fields with ditches and soft soil leading to woods towards the right. The truck cannot turn around, and the Merchant has you and another rider walking in advance to shift the derelict cars into neutral. One at a time the cars are pushed out of the way, and one of you steers them into the field while the other provides cover.
Do you pick car clearing, or sentry duty?
