Zaij immediately started a half run, half crouch to the right. Bullets were flying all around him. Playing decoy was dangerous. He did a rolling dive sidewards and came up spitting sand.

His rifle was firing within seconds.
 
When Marc and Zaij began the covering fire, Rein, Baumann and the others started the retreat.
Marc and Zaij could se from their rifle sights that some figures illuminated by the moon were being hit by their fire and fell to the ground, what stoped the enemy advance for a moment.
When Rein and Baumann began the covering fire from behind Marc and Saij retreated with the help of their cover. The raider advance however, began to stop, showing that they expected to find less resistance than what they had.
 
Naberic and Ashley heard the commotion from outside and peeked out the door to see what was going on. What they saw amazed them, it was a mob of people chasing one man, more a teenager of made 17 or 18.

The two thought it best to peer into the kitchen to ask Antonio what in the world was going on.

“Hey, Antonio?”

“What do you need? Did you not enjoy your meal?”

“No, the food was great, I am wondering why there is an angry mob chasing some teenage kid around.”

“Oh, so they finally caught him.”

“Caught who?” interrupted Naberic.

“That little thief Alfedro, he has been stealing our crops for months.”

“All that over some vegetables?”

“Yes, of course, we depend on those for lively hood. Without them, we would die. I hope they string that little fuck up good.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! They are going to kill him?”

“Yes, that is the punishment for stealing food here.”

“Is there anyway we can stop this?”

“You can try to go and see the town consul after he his caught and bargain for his life but I doubt there is anything you can do, and even with you do you will probably make some people very unhappy.”

“Well, We’re going to try anyway, right Nab?”

“Yeah, we’ll give it a try.”

As the two friends left the restaurant, they saw the captured man being dragged into the hall of the town consul, his face drenched in blood and body covered in bruises. The two companions followed the mob in the hall in the hopes that they could get the man’s life spared.
 
With the raiders retreating, they got to a town. The place was desolated. The place was dead, there was little hope of finding anyone or anything, since the place seem looted til the pint nothing, not the smallest of value was left, still it didn't look like the place was much of devastated by the bombs.
Marc: "-Will rest here for a while, but I don't think we can stay here for too long. Those raiders are only coming to attack stronger than before. We wont survive.-"
"-This doesn't look like the Idea I had of other city, what is your suggestion.-" The portugese women asked.
"-We move trough those mountains-" Marc said pointing to the East "-They'll never follow us there. Unless you have any other Ideas-"
 
"East is fine with me, I wanted to go back to Spain anyway. I myself came in from the north-east, so I won't be able to tell you anything useful about the area we're headed to." Swa said. "As long as you plan to stay far away from Madrid and Barcelona, I'll tag along with you guys for a while..."
 
"-Its okay, we don't have to go all the way to spain. Crossing those mountains will not be easy, I think it would be okay to use them as shelter from the raiders, but we will be facing other dangers if we are wiling to travel there. We can come back to Portugal later if you want, after the raiders have lost our trail.-" Marc said "-We can camp here for the night or leave right away.-"
 
Zeke was watching them all closely from a distance. Ever since he had seen the other people that werent vault dwellers he had vanished into the burned out buildings and piles of rubble. Now if needed he would provide cover fire as he had earlier for the others as they fled from the raiders.

(by the way folks sorry i aint active lately but i have been following and dont have too much free time to post.)
 
Marc: "-Okay, we're leaving. With some luck we will be safe in the mountains before the sun shows up. Let's go, the faster we move, the faster we will be safe. And where the heck is Zeke!?-"
 
"Let's head for the mountains now, there is allways lots of opportunities for shelter in the mountains. Also, if humans survived, animals survived, so there should be possible to hunt" Rein said.
He continued: "We'll need one person to stay here and whait for Zeke for say half an hour, if he hasn't come around then, well... If noone else wants to, I'll stay and whait!"
 
"-Ok, Rein and I will wait here, the rest of you get moving to the mountains. I think there is a superior raider force coming here and I don't want to pull any chances. You might see us reaching you in a hurry.-" While the others began to move, Marc pulled out from the backpack two MRE rations and handed one to Rein "-Don't know you but I am starving to death here, I think it would be okay to take a bite of late dinner while we wait.-"

OCC: Consider I was kinda starving when I wrote this... Oh, and there is a li'l esater egg for those of you who had seen Full Metal Jacket, if you can find it.
 
Zeke waited until the two had eaten their dinner (he did not believe in interrupting people while they ate) before he silently crept behind them, and let loose a low whistle.

Each of them turned rapidly fumbling for a weapon before Rein recognized Zeke and sighed his relief.

"Well then Rein ready to go.......and I believe the army fucker here is named Marc if I heard you guys right?" Zeke said in an unnaccented and mostly slang free dialect of english.

The two nodded and set off for the mountains.

"By the way." Zeke said. "I wouldn't worry if I tend to dissapear cause I have read a few too many post apocalyptic books to trust our brave new world. If you all have trouble finding me just whistle and most likely I will appear from the trees unless I am busy."

They both nodded. Zeke was pleased that they understood, and as long as they didn't let his whereabout be too known at any one time he would fierely protect his fellow vault dwellers from the shadows........
 
OOC:

Seems we have a small group, active.

IC:

*Naberic & Asley*

"We are going to show you what we do to thieves!"

The poor guy had his hands tied and a rope with a slipknot was being placed on his neck. The man holding the other side of the rope was about to throw it over a tree branch when someone took notice of Naberic and Ashley.
Someone wyelled at them:
"Hey what are you two looking at? As if youve never seen a hanging before!"

*Everybody else*

The camp was calm and most people in the group was napping after dinner.
Suddenly a faint noise was heard at close distance.
One wakes up and sees, under moonlight, the sillouete of a stranger. Looking with more attention, other sillouetes are around too. A few more minutes and the strangers will be at the camp, he thinks.

OOC: "One" is the first who replies this post. Lets move and spice it up!

OOC2: Think of real spice, not Spice Girls (Ugh!)
 
Zaij rolled over next to Marc and put his hands over Marc's mouth. Marc awoke instantly.

"Shh. People. Many people are surrounding us. Wake the others."

Zaij didn't wait to see what Marc did. Rifle in hand, Zaij crawled to a small rock.

If shit was going to hit the fan, he was going to be prepared.
 
Zeke heard a faint twig snap below him and awoke. He was sleeping on a thick tree branch 10 feet off the ground, and below him strangers were surrounding the camp.

The .22 pistol was now squarely aimed at the back of the neck of the nearest silhouette and quietly drawing his bayonet.

If they so much as lifted a finger he would attack.
 
The sillouetes seemed to have sensed the movement in the camp and hid themselves. But a voice came from them, and although our heroes could not precise the direction it came from, it said:

"Who dares to invade our territory?!"
 
Being the most diplomat of all, Marc answered with a calming voice: "-We mean no harm, we are just looking for shelter in this mountains.-" he pauses "-Who are you, and why do do claim this your territory?-"
 
"Shelter, eh? I should put you out of your mise..."another voice, a female one, intervene, saying: "George, calm down!"and the first, angrily, retorted: "No, I will not be calm! You know what happened last time!"

There is a couple of moments where the group hears nothing, then the same first voice said:

"My name is George, and I own these lands. I have taken possession of them with my friends after the War. If you want to rest, you may but you will have to surrender your weapons to us while you are here. If you don't want to surrender your weapons, you have to leave, now."
 
"Surrender our weapons? You're fucking kidding, right?" Zaij immediately burst out. "You actually think that we're gonna goddamn sit here defenseless?"

"That's your problem. My problem is our safety - which involves you giving up your weapons or leaving."

The last was said with a menacing tone. Zaij just turned around and went back to the fire.
 
Rein had been lying asleep all the time when he awoke by the loud voices. "Umpf, why the hell are you shouting? I'm trying to sleep, you guys should too!" But when the others informed him on the situation he said: "What the hell? wel I'm not giving up my weapons, how can I know that you aren't just the same group of low life bastards that attacked us in the town?"
He didn't hear any answer, so he continued; "We have no intention to attack you people, so if you just leave us alone, we'll sleep until the morning and then leave..after breakfast of course...Though if you choose to attack us, be prepared for a fight, I'm not the only ex millitary here!"
