Crawlout through the Fallout

Bud DuPont, Norman Wong, and Bessoit. An unlikely group who believes mole men are responsible for the Great War, have finally run aground in the Great Midwest Commonwealth. Bessoit, a truck that ran on old Pre-War diesel, had used up the last of its fuel to get the two to El Paso, Wisconsin. From there, their journey began.

Season 1
After completing a several hundred mile long journey, and depleting their biodiesel reserves Bud DuPont and Norman Wong ran aground in El Paso, Wisconsin. Spending a couple hours searching the burnt out run down town, the group didn't manage to find much left. It seemed to be picked clean by scavengers long ago. Searching a nearby bar & grill revealed that it had recent signs of habitation, but not recent enough to pick up any trails. At least not until they went out back near the generators.

After searching around the back area a bit, they encountered not only rotting food, but tracks that lead off into the treeline some several hundred feet away. Deciding to follow, they pushed Bessoit into the generator room and locked her up tight. After spending several hours tracking, the group came across a gun club that seemed to have recently been used. Finding a handful of half-reloaded shells, a laser pistol, and some shotgun rounds, the group continued onward. Eventually, as night began to fall the group approached what looked to be a farmstead clearing. Norman, not being able to see due to any number of reasons, triggered a punji trap and went into shock. Collapsing from the injury and slipping into unconscious, Norman was carried from the farmstead by Bud back to the bar & grill, a grueling 5 and a half mile trek through forested terrain.

After patching up the wound and resting, the group awoke the next day feeling much better than they did a mere few hours ago. However their peaceful rest was interrupted by the sound of tribals emerging from the tree line they had only recently exited the previous night. A battle ensued, nearly costing the group their lives. After routing the tribals, the beaten and battered group decided to test their luck with the interstate and make their way to the nearby settlement, Elmwood.
