First adventure

I actually have this one already semi-fleshed out. After getting the group safely into one of the 3 possible groups (free lance corporate runners, military special ops, Nomads) I plan to run them through this as an introduction to the variety of threats they can run into and also see the plan to make this a high action game.

Just south of the City there is a small valley. At one time this valley was populated by a suburban gated community. However it was abandoned in the flight from the Zombie invasion. So there are lots of nice houses with a lot of random household items still there.

The reason they are there is because it hasn't been hit by looters or made free for re-population because of the rumors. THe rumors are that there are monsters in the hills. The last group to go in (nomad looters or police team depnding on what the characters are) was slaughtered save for one incoherent survivor who can only babble about the monsters.

What with the recent Zombie war and continuing threats from the dark mages of the eastern penninsula any talk of monsters has to be dealt with and respected. So the group has to go in. In the valley they will find deserted overrun McMansions, with their valuables still there in some cases. However, when darkness comes (and it comes quickly in the mountains) they will hear the roars of at least 2 large creatures in the darkness, hunting.

That is where I will leave off but suffice to say the party will have to fight the creatures, and it won't be easy. There will actually be multiple creatures to fight. I want them to spend most their time running and fighting. There will be a decent reward but the overall goal of this campaign is to get the group back to basics of worrying about survival and things like who do we get food and ammunition again.
