A Farewell to Arms

The PCs are asked to dispose of chemical weapons. They will only be offered this quest if they have earned the trust of the ruler of Klodzko, Lieutenant Biale, by getting to Friendly status with the town.

Disposing of the gas can be done three possible ways


 * Incineration. An A strength explosive will incinerate the gas.
 * Burying it or dumping it into a deep body of water. The nearest is the artificial Lake Paczkowski to the east, near the abandoned town of Paczkow. The PCs will have to get into centre of the lake, which will require a boat. Some ruined boats near the lake can be salvaged but they will require a TECH roll to make them watertight.
 * Neutralising the mustard agent with boiling water. It takes a TECH roll and a shift to drain the shell, and 2 units of water rations per shell (pure water is needed). A mishap means accidental exposure to the gas.

Biale will assign Corporal Irena Warda to the PCs to make sure they carry out the task. Biale will insist that destruction or draining of the shells must take place at least 30km (three hexes) away from Klodzko - he doesn't want anybody connecting the shells to the town.

If the PCs do the job as requested, Biale will pay them 1000 shells worth of equipment from the town's armory.
