Slaughter Mountain Run: 328

328

You and Sergeant Haskell dispatch the clansmen with a volley of well-aimed shots (erase two rounds from your Ammo Pouch) before taking a closer look at what they were transporting. You discover several crates and lockers filled with munitions: mortars, anti-tank weapons, heavy machine guns, and the like. However, you cannot find any ammunition for these weapons. You are about to set fire to the truck, to prevent the weapons from falling into the hands of other clansmen, when you discover one item that could be of some use after all.

In a sealed locker at the bottom of the heap, you discover a portable Leviathan ground-to-air missile, a weapon with approximately eight times the destructive power of a bazooka.

If you wish to keep this Leviathan Missile, you must reduce your Stealth score by 2 points due to its size and weight.⁷

To continue, turn to 114.

[7] This Stealth penalty is probably in addition to the penalty for carrying more than 3 Backpack Items (e.g. if the Leviathan Missile is your fourth Backpack Item, you incur a 3-point penalty rather than just 2). Alternatively, you may read it to mean that the Leviathan Missile gives a 2-point penalty irrespective of how many other Backpack Items you are carrying.
