instead Not sure what else to do, Kain settled in a makeshift shelter in the remains of an old brick building Kain is primarily a loner, though he occasionally hosts guests who can demonstrate they don’t mean any harm A handful of scrappers who search the monster-filled ruins have gone out of their way to befriend the mutant Kain has green-tinted skin and dark green hair He has sharp retractable claws on his hands that he uses in close combat When the heroes arrive at Station Delta they find that the most obvious salvage has already been taken, however intrepid scrappers who want to rip the place apart are sure to find useful material The greatest asset the station has, however, is its micro nuclear reactor With six weeks of work and 20 Build, a group could set up transmission lines from the reactor to power Wright Town Kain CR XP 1,200 Male human barbarian 2/fighter CN Medium humanoid (human) Init +6; Senses Perception +8 DEFENSE AC 16, touch 13, flat-footed 13 (+3 armor, +2 Dex, +1 dodge) hp 47 (2d12+3d10+13) Fort +7, Ref +3, Will +2 (+1 vs fear) Defensive Abilities bravery +1, uncanny dodge OFFENSE Speed 45 ft Melee claws +10 (1d6+4/19-20/x2) Special Attacks rage (7 rounds/day), rage powers (scent) STATISTICS Str 18, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha Base Atk +5; CMB +9; CMD 22 Feats Dodge, Fleet, Improved Initiative, Mutation, Toughness +5, Weapon Focus (claws) Skills Acrobatics +2 (+6 jump), Climb +11, Intimidate +6, Perception +8, Knowledge (technology) +3, Survival +8 Languages English SQ fast movement +10 Gear leather armor B17: Fond Du Lac Dam B16: Phoenix Station Delta Hidden: DC 20 Perception Population: Salvage Value: 4; max 60 Buildings: Nuclear Reactor Ruined Building: Improved Machine Shop, Hospital Phoenix Station Delta is a small station created primarily to serve as a redundancy in case other stations fell Sadly, station Delta itself fared quite poorly Debris trapped the survivors inside the station, and they eventually starved to death Just a few months before the events of Broken Earth begin, a hearty band of scrappers found their way into Station Delta They discovered it in disarray, with most of the systems badly damaged Still, even with most of the Phoenix station lost, they salvaged enough treasure from the ancient world to potentially make them rich (if they could find the right buyer) These scrappers also successfully repaired a hummingbirdclass robotic drone With Station Delta largely destroyed, the drone has gone to search out other Phoenix stations It made contact with Station Mu, and the Phoenix intelligence inside, and in the past month has been gathering intelligence for the Phoenix (This is the strange “metal bird’ that may fly over the heroes’ community, see page 76.) 110 See page 91 B18: Agate Landmark Population: 89 Salvage Value: Buildings: Houses Tech Levels: production 3, maintenance Agate is a small fishing community built on Agate Bay, near the ruins of what was once Two Harbors, MN The people there are almost all fisher folk, who trade their excess catches with Wright Town for any other supplies they need Important NPCs “Crusty” Pete Beargrease: The oldest fisherman in Agate is a man named “Crusty” Pete He’s happy to share his wisdom or spin a tale, but he doesn’t pity fools, and speaks his mind plainly Crusty Pete retired from actively fishing eight years ago when Old Bart, a massive mutated turtle, bit off the lower half of his leg He now helps support the younger fishers with other activities like mending nets and cleaning fish Pete is a man in his mid-fifties with white hair and a bushy beard He walks thanks to a cane and a custom made peg leg that uses an old piece of PVC pipe as its core Pete uses the stats of an Axe Tribe member (page 93), but with Profession (sailor) instead of Craft (carpentry) B19: Madeline Landmark Population: 227 (fisher folk) Salvage Value: Buildings: Houses (2) Tech Levels: production 3, maintenance The city of Madeline was built on the island of the same name on the southern shore of Lake Superior Most of the inhabitants are descended from those who lived there before the Great War and those who fled there immediately afterward Separated from the mainland by two miles of water, the people of Madeline remained isolated from the rest of the world and safe from outside dangers The people of Madeline subsist primarily by fishing the waters near the island, which they supplement with small gardens Their first contact with the wider world beyond came from a young Sally Wright who was exploring the southern coast of Lake Superior by water Sally met with the important members
