SUMMARY
The heroes find themselves unexpectedly in enemy
territory. Their questions provoke a fight, and they end
up running, wanted by both the police and the violent
Clundiss family.

OF ALL THE BARS IN ALL OF

SOUTHERN ARIZONA…
The Clundiss family runs things out of the bar. Big Jack
himself is the patriarch.
A hush falls as the heroes walk in. A handful of locals
and half-dozen Clundisses comprise the patronage. The
locals refuse to meet the heroes’ eyes, looking down and
mumbling “I don’t really know” in response to questions.
One of them, the local pastor named Nathaniel Whey,
clearly looks like he has more to say, but won’t in front of
the family.
Cindy Clundiss stands behind the bar, wiping grime from
one glass to another with a filthy rag. Two of her sons, Abe
and Clancy, lean on the bar and sip whiskey. Pa (Big Jack)
Clundiss sits in a corner behind the eponymous grill,
helping himself to ribs and wiping the BBQ sauce down his
large, denim shirt. Charleen Clundiss and her husband, Bo
Squint, stand in the back, playing pool.
As soon as the heroes enter, the Clundisses watch them
intently, but say nothing. If the heroes order food and
drink, no one bothers them. If the heroes spend too long
bothering the locals, or mention the name “Joe Bacon,” a few
Clundisses saunter over, asking the heroes their business.

NATHANIEL WHEY
As the heroes leave the bar, a nervous looking African-American
preacher named Nathaniel Whey approaches them. He tells the
heroes they are in grave danger, before giving them a hikers’
map of the area and telling them to get out of town before either
the police or the Clundisses come looking for them.

Whey overheard them looking for Joe Bacon and will help them.
If they meet him by the old church (circled on the map) at 10:00
AM the next morning, he promises to show them where Joe is.

SUMMARY
Should the heroes wish to investigate the
town itself, they find it a small and shabby
affair. The locals on the street or in the
few businesses are no keener to talk than
the ones in the bar. There are only three
buildings to which the heroes have access:
the Sprouse-Reitz, Jemmy Garcia’s car
dealership, and El Jefe Guns & Ammo.

THE JACKRABBIT HILLS

The hike is relatively easy. You see no one along the journey and
quickly rise above the town. The Jackrabbit Hills would not qualify
as such if not for the fact that they alone rise above the desert as far
as the eye can see. The ground is tacky with mud from the constant
drizzle. Once you ascend, you find a smattering of low scrub. The sun
sets and a few lights blink on back down in Jabbok Creek. In a small
valley between two stoney rises, you see an old hut. The concrete walls
and rusted steel supports remain, but the roof has long since caved in,
and a straggling boxelder maple has taken up residence.

THE CEDARWOODS
Soon after leaving Jabbok Creek, you come to a small patch of scrubby
trees. It is slightly more than a thicket, but calling it a wood is generous.
To further confuse the matter, most trees are junipers, not cedars. The
trees do at least protect you somewhat from the persistent drizzle. As
you walk through the dappled shade, the air is heavy with the spicy, gin-
like scent of the trees. Ahead of you, an old shipping container stands
with a camp chair out front.

THE GOVERNOR MICHAELS RESERVOIR
Keeping away from the roads you soon find a small foot track leading
toward the reservoir, for a couple of miles it twists and turns down
the stoney ground. As you round a corner, you see the water, flat and
gray in the dull evening light, dappled by the persistent rain.
The track leads to a little breeze-block hut with a University of
Arizona sign. The reservoir itself is cordoned off with a chain link
fence, though the hut appears to give access to the water.

The hut is padlocked shut, but it takes only a successful

Act3: Finale 13
THE FINAL SHOWDOWN
SUMMARY
The Clundisses come for the heroes one last time. With all
the proof they need, the heroes just need to survive — no
mean feat when the Clundisses are in a helicopter and
armed to the teeth.

RIDE OF THE CLUNDISSES

Just as you think you’re done, there is a staccato “thwap-thwap-
thwap,” a noise you know all too well from ’Nam. Sure enough, a
Huey helicopter rises above the horizon. As it dives toward you,
you see Big Jack Clundiss leaning out the door. The tin church
rattles and shakes as he approaches. At the same time, more
Clundisses, on foot but heavily armed, come into view.

If Big Jack is dead, his place is taken by one of the

surviving named Clundisses.

THE FIGHT
There are two more ground-based Clundisses than there are
heroes. Any named Clundisses who have not been killed are
among those attacking, the rest use the generic Clundiss stat
block. All are armed with HK93A2 rifles.
Big Jack is riding in a helicopter (Everyday Heroes Core
Rulebook, pg 172) and is armed with a grenade launcher (with
fragmentation grenades, +1 to hit, and disadvantage due to firing
from a moving vehicle). The helicopter measures 45 feet long
by 15 feet wide, though it does not take up physical space on the
ground and can hover above other characters. It is piloted by a
generic Clundiss, who is too busy flying to do anything else. Each
turn, the helicopter can move to any other place in the combat,
and can face any direction. Any hero standing on the opposite
side of the church from the helicopter and within 20 feet of the
church cannot be seen by the helicopter.
Nathaniel Whey takes cover behind the church but does his
best to help downed heroes by administering first aid — his
Intelligence (Medicine) modifier is +2. The Clundisses do not
actively target Whey unless they have no other available targets,
in which case he has a Defense of 10 and 12 HP.

War changes you.
Thousands of soldiers have returned home, from Vietnam, from
Afghanistan, from Somalia and Iraq. From all the corners of the world
where war has been waged. But they weren’t the same as when they
left. And neither was home.

They were given guns, and told how to drive tanks, how to fire missiles,
how to kill. And then, they were sent home, told to forget all that, told
to lead ‘normal’ lives. But they don’t forget. The war never leaves you.
Once back, they found there were as many enemies on home soil as
there ever had been abroad.

Follow in the footsteps of John Rambo as a former Green Beret back

in the States. You have 24 hours to clear the name of one of your
number. Using the skills you learnt in ‘Nam you will have to root out
the corruption of small town America and bring down hellfire on those
that stand in your way. The army may be happy to betray those it once
relied on, but you formed a bond in the jungle that can not be broken.
