You are attempting to quiet your influencer companions as the rumbling and shaking of the subterranean passage subsides. Before you in the distant dark there are a multitude of figures. They look like construction workers carrying pipes and tools, one of them has what looks like a spray gun or pressurised hose with some sort of pneumatic nozzle... But something about their stance fills you with unease. They could be trespassers, rioters who looted the construction overalls and tools from the maintenance area you searched earlier... or perhaps actual construction workers who have joined the riot... or maybe just subway tunnel engineers? You are unsure.
The rumbling noises and shaking of the cavern has fortunately covered your approach. The group ahead appear distracted and have not noticed your presence in the vicinity.
Send your followers to approach the large group ahead in a friendly manner:
>Erica
>Marcus
>Both of them
>Investigate stealthily yourself, leaving your followers (and the loud, slow, squeaking wheel wheelchair) behind. Try to eavesdrop on what they are saying
>Without warning, just open fire on them. You cannot see exactly how many there are, but you will definitely kill those ahead.
>There might be a large battle here. You should order your followers to retreat to an open embankment nearer the surface where you can get a phone signal to heal Trauma (follower morale will decline further)
(QM: The Red Lord Of Ruin reveals to you what may occur as your follower morale deteriorates. There will be the roll on the table below:)
1 Both Marcus and Erica start behaving erratically, acting on their own volition instead of following your orders
2 Marcus is emboldened. He just charges recklessly ahead to try to get better footage for their urban exploration channel subscribers
3 Erica is too scared. She stops where she is and has to calm down
4 -6 (no effect at this stage of morale breakdown)
