Location: Barbados

Overview: Travel to a mysterious far-flung island paradise untouched by the Great War, and survive.

General Background/History:

Barbados was one of the few remaining foreign 'possessions' of the United Kingdom at the outbreak of the great war. However as the apostrophes suggest there was very little in the way of control by Westminster; with it's mind on far more important matters than worrying over a tropical paradise in the Caribbean. Regardless, the population was fiercely loyal to the crown and had many American dissidents and exiles added to it's population each year leading up to the war, all ruled over by the Governor-General. During happier times Barbados had become rich thanks to the large number of tourists and even larger numbers of corporations hiding away from the taxman in their Caribbean cove, and as a result during the 2050's as war began to brew up in Europe Governor-General Lesiw ordered the constructions of a secret fortress in Mount Hillaby, complete with ammo dumps, supplies and a tunnel system connecting the base with the Parliament Building in Bridgetown, all under the pretence of a mining operation and a few tax cuts...

When the war broke out only two fairly old nuclear bombers were sent to bomb Barbados, not because it had any real strategic value, it was just completionisim on the side of the commanders. However as they reached their target the crews were shocked to find that a hale of rockets and flack were tearing up at them from the tiny island, and both were promptly shot down, and they weren't the only ones; many surprised bombers passing over Barbados were surprised to see that they were being fired at seemingly from nowhere, in total about 23 bombers were claimed to have been shot down by the defenders. Barbados had survived the Great War unscratched.

But their troubles were not over yet, as hurricanes and other calamities shook the island, killing thousands. However the worse was still let to come, for one nuclear bomber had crashed near the sea and was leaking radiation, over time many people on the island mutated into horrific ghoul-like creatures (c. 2160s, the radiation process was much slower than it was for ghouls in the wasteland), who would soon develop a taste for human flesh. The non-irradiated population, already scared, isolated and paranoid; immediately fled to the capital of Bridgetown and the surrounding area and walled the territory off, whilst holding on the the fortress. Speaking of which the succession of Governor-Generals, currently Sir Almond Peach, were steadfast in believing that the war is still ongoing and so continued not only to call for help in the form of radio signal to Westminster, but to bomb any 'invading force' out of the waters surrounding the area, whilst trying to keep the ghouls out of Bridgetown.

So since then the legends of a beautiful but deadly island paradise, which drew wayward sailors to it's shores only to be mysteriously killed, much like the sirens of The Odyssey, grew amongst pirates and merchants.

Questing etc.:

During your travels you come across a man by the name of Harry Beckham, who is in the merchant trade, who asks you for your services in helping him find his last ship which went off course. You accept and sail off with Harry following the signal being sent from the errant vessel, only to have your boat blown up as you approach a mysterious island...

You both wake up, shipwrecked on the beach, where you find the remains of the last crew, who upon further inspection appear to have been eaten alive... You then wander the island looking for settlement and eventually come across patrol of humans, who promptly challenge your presence and regardless of dialogue choices attack you. suddenly a ghoul in the undergrowth calls you over and you comply, he is Zeke, the leader of the 'resistance' against the rulers of the island and is impressed with your skills and gives you a healthy exposition dump. After you raid an enemy outpost he asks you to don one of the uniforms of the soldiers so you will be able to get near the security doors of the fortress on the north side of the island in order to attack it. You do so and the storming begins, however before you get to the upper levels our party enters a room which immediately seals you in and is filled with nerve gas, part of the brilliant defensive system of the base...

Again you awake, this time in a prison camp controlled by the islands rulers, the so called 'British' as they prefer. Before you can begin to make your escape the guard tells you that a Captain sent by the Governor-General wants to talk to you. This man expains the island further and says that the Governor-General wants to speak with you....

Finish later.
