Die Kunst des Krieges nach Sunzi

by der Unberechenbare Jahred Percival

The crew arrives at the Baybasin Outpost, a small settlement located on the southern and northern shore of a River. On some islands in there river, there seems to be a spaceport. The southern part seems to be dominated by workers and small shacks, the home of the poor and working class. The northern part, seems the be a large mansion with plantations, probably the local warlord.
 
After some discussion, the team decides to contact Jasmin, the person Haquim told them to ask for help when they arrive in Baybasin. To find Jasmin, the crew goes to the marked and asks a small boy for help, in exchange for some food. During talk with a market vendor, they find out that the inhabitants seem to be not so satisfied with the conditions and the Birbasils, the owner of the mansion and the local chieftains.
 
The boy then brings the crew to Mesans cantina, a small shady cantina, where they meet Jasmin. Jasmin promises to provde the crew with information and supplies if they are willing to help her, but she can only tell the crew in whch regard if they agree. After some discussion, the crew agrees and is brought to the leader of the Shaukar Guerilla.
 
The guerilla plans an attack on the Birbasil family, but needs help in the preparation. The crew can decide on how to support the guerilla by

  • Convincing the common people for support

  • Convincing 3 key persons for their case: Tanam, the harbor master and leader of the local free league outpost; Hashima and old ex-legionaire, who is planning and overseeing all prospector activities in the town; Mori, who seems to be the mining chief.

  • Helping with positioning of the artillery

  • Infiltrating the militia base and sabotaging their fighting exos


  • The crew decides to split up. While the captain helps with his reading about fighting tactics from the info net to position tha artillery and persuading the key figures for help, the rest of the crew tries to find a way into the militia base. As the easiest way to win against a foe is to make him your friend, the captain convinces Hashima and Tanam to support the revolt. He does not have enough time to also convince Mori. Furthermore, he convinces Tanam to provide a small boat for the infiltration crew to pass the river.
     
    Now everything depends on a silent infiltration and the ability to either sabotage the exos or to eliminate the pilots in the right moment.
