vengeance quest

Now I mentioned that the Pan-Africanists are poor, right? Evidently they didn’t have a tonne to deal with the Brutes for their captured gangster, so a rescue was initiated.

Kwame Nkrumah, the PA leader seems to despise Cornelus. I don’t know why. But as the rescue attempt opened, while the rest of the gang was hiding and sneaking up to the tower where Selassie was being held, he was on the other side of the battlefield lying in wait for the Brute heavy. Ostensibly this could have been a good plan. Cornelus on the high ground is a horrible thing to deal with. So out of the darkness, with the element of surprise Nkrumah attacked.

Sometimes things just go wrong. Swordplay was helping Nkrumah against the (admittedly effective) fighter who was burdened with a heavy bolter. And then he pushed too hard. An overcommitment on the final killing lunge gave Cornelus an opening he had to take, and he smashed Nkrumah hard, taking him out of the fight. This sounded the alarm and the rest of the Pan-Africanists were shot by the sentries in other areas. No one even got close to rescuing their juve and they slunk off.

Even though the PAs scraped together enough cash to ransom back their fighter eventually there’s now even more bad blood between these rival gangs from the same house.
