His breath came in ragged gasps that the street just one meter ahead of him.

Another roar filled the air, and then a rapid thumping of gigantic metal- Something’s broken there, his mind warned him, perhaps for the mil- shod feet. lionth time. It’s seen me! Yet he raced on, the agony only adding to his urgency. Up the stairs Edward ran, his left leg jarring him with every lurching Headlamps on his helmet provided his only cues against missteps, cut- step. Aiming his good shoulder at the main door, he charged without a ting through the dusty dark to illuminate a scant few meters ahead of moment’s thought. him. But it was the adrenaline, burning in his veins for the longest time The new wave of pain that overcame him finally forced a cry of pain in his panicked memory, which made it possible for him to vault over the from his ragged throat. blackened wreckage of an overturned vehicle.

Teeth clenched, he spun himself What remained of its pitted and cracked armor was scorched black, and as best as he could in the instant before impact, letting his left shoulder one of its four legs dragged.

A deep growl shattered—but what remained looked solid enough. Debris—both human issued forth from its speakers, rising to another inhuman bellow. and human-made—lay strewn about the wide steps toward the entry. Edward blinked.

Isaac Newton (order #5214387) 1 Momentarily trapped, the beast let out a roar that threatened to split his eardrums. Edward felt his heart skip several beats, but he willed himself on. Gods, let there be a vault or something open back there!

The vault was small, and one wall had partially collapsed. A duke’s ransom in personal valuables lay strewn across the floor, but Edward was too busy struggling to close the heavy steel door as the monster continued to tear a way into the bank’s foyer. He had the door half-closed when he heard the shuffling behind him, and realized he wasn’t alone in the vault. Spinning, Edward let his helmet lamp illumi- nate the chamber. The grayish dust—thicker indoors than outside—swirled around, creating a particulate fog that almost obscured the figure slumped in the corner. His good hand left the vault door handle and fumbled for his sidearm.

“Who’s there?” he snapped. He tried to put an authoritarian edge into his voice, but instead, his words came out as a weak croak. The figure was struggling to stand. It was fe- male, swathed in a tattered skirt, a torn blouse, and a suit jacket that looked to be the same dark shade of color as the skirt. Her hair was long and dark, but matted and disheveled. Her face was ashen, and sunken eyes struggled to regard him. She raised a hand to shield herself from his light, and he automatically tipped his head, just enough to move the direct glare off her. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said as he suddenly real- ized he was looking at a survivor. Perhaps the first one he’d seen in…hours? Days? “I am a soldier,” he continued. “Did you work here?” The woman didn’t answer. She simply stared at him for several long moments. Outside, Edward could hear the monster tear- ing itself free of the wall. Damn it! He swung around again, grabbing the vault His eyes darted to the nearest window. door handle. With a final, hard pull, he managed to force it closed, and Man and machine lunged at the same moment. yanked the latch up.

Isaac Newton (order #5214387) 2 BATTLETECH ADVENTURES NECROMO NIGHTMARE TM attleTech Adventures: Necromo Nightmare is a special game aid for use with A Time of War: The BattleTech Role-Playing Game and the A Time of War Companion. Designed for experienced players familiar with the setting, the rules and descriptions in this book B presume the players are familiar with the terms and core role-playing rules presented in A Time of War, as well as the war game rules found in Total Warfare, Tactical Operations, and Strategic Operations. This adventure may run several sessions, based on the players’ available time and resources. Game masters should note that only some of the information in this book should be made available to the players, while the rest is designed for both the players and the game master. Throughout this book, the information available to the players will be clearly identi- fied, but should be made available only as the players’ characters actively pursue it. For example, while the bulk of what is covered in the World Guide section is common knowledge, characters who have not taken the time to bone up on their basic research should not be aware of much beyond what they directly experience on the world of Necromo, where this adventure takes place. The general information contained here should provide the tools needed for an adventure group to play out any number of sessions set on the dark world of Necromo in the wake of a devastating Word of Blake attack there during the Jihad. But as this particular adven- ture is a special, Halloween holiday-themed edition The World Guide section presents a global view followed by some quick facts about the world where this adventure is set. Included in this section is a general description of the history and key features of the world, and local news pertaining to events current with the setting of the adventure. Additional rules at the back of this product cover the planetary information in greater detail, including terrain types, environment, and other rules that can be used to enhance the game experience. The Persons of Interest section gives details on the factions and key players that will (or may) play a role in this adventure and can be used by GMs who do not wish to create their own NPCs from scratch. Gameplay data on these characters will be found in the Character Dossiers at the back of the book. Much of this information is GM only, and may contain spoilers, so players should not read this section. The Tracks section presents a means to interact with several pivotal events that occur in this adventure, though they are not the only ones. Please do not allow the players read the GM ONLY section, cover it with a sheet of paper while the players read their mission brief section. The Gamemaster’s Sourcebook contains official character sheets for key personalities from the Persons of Interest section, as well as record sheets and rules useful for running the more unique aspects of this adventure. Remember that it is not the function of this product to micromanage your adventure, however: If a situation arises where the rules are in question, it’s up to the gamemaster and players to work out a resolution suitable for their game table. The goal is to have fun, so don’t let the rules bog you down.
