Escape from the Hive - Smash and Grab

The Band of the Red Hand's first task was to go out into the streets of the hive to search for any loot or useful clues that would help them in escaping their current nightmare. There were rumours of a big battle the previous evening where an Orlock gang was routed by mob of the undead. Mat figured he could perhaps find some of their discarded gear or information on what's been going on in the hive.

Setting the scene, Mat's gang arrives from the top as they scour for loot, the undead approach from all sides.

Mat hand his trusted pals, Mr Scarabs and Chance spotted a loot casket.

The undead Corpse Grinders approach in a horde, hungry for fresh meat.

Meanwhile, Sophia and Ghostface advance towards some more loot. Ghostface uses his hand flamer to clean up some undead who were unlucky to get too close.

Spike also moves ahead, unloading his shotgun and covered by Will of the Reaper's long lasgun.

Ghostface and Sophia put their teamwork and blades to work cutting down some undead that approach them.

Spike's position becomes tenuous as more undead approach him from all sides.

Meanwhile Mat and his team are unable to hold back the unending horde that closes in on them, Mat unleashes with his plasma pistol as Mr Scarabs does his best to hold them off.

In the end Mr Scarabs succumbed to the horde despite Mat's best efforts. The gang was able to recover three loot caskets and found a clue that could lead to their escape.

On their way back to their hideout the Band of the Red Hand encountered the remnants of the Orlocks who had fought the previous night and lost their loot.

Even though Mr Scarabs was out of action the Band had the firepower to deal with the weakened attackers.

Back at their headquarters the Band of the Red Hand inspected their loot and clues that they found on the raid. They found out that a prominent noble had bought transport out of the Hive and hired a personal security detail to escort him and his family. The transfer was happening in two days from now.  

Escape From the Hive - Introduction

The Hive was hit hard with a plague that no one saw coming, it spread quickly and reportedly turned the effected into zombie-like cannibals hardly reminiscent of humans. The Lords of the city subsequently decided to lock everything down and impose a severe curfew on all residents, with penalty of death by the Enforcers if curfew was broken. The Band of the Red Hand is a ragtag crew brought together by chance more than anything. Bounty hunters, but not the most successful, due to their bad luck and their generally do-gooders personas (some would categorize them as chaotic good).  Usually broke, locked in for several months together and running out of money, they are searching for a way out of the Hive city and for safe passage off planet before it all goes to hell (or more hell.)

Mat Cauthon, Chance and Mr. Scabs

Awoke one day with a scar on his neck, a blade in his hand, and Mr. Scabs staring at him like a hungry cat.  Mat has no relocation of how he got there or any history before that.  He is traveling space (Underhives?) to find threads of his lost memories.

Spike

Ex-Yakuza.  Left the syndicate after the gang put a hit on his lover and assassinated her.  Out for revenge and to take the whole operation down.

Sophia and Ghostface

Brother and Sister orphans trained from birth to be killers.  They realized they were hired mercenaries, usually killing good people, so they killed their handlers and escaped.  Now hunting bounties of evil people to survive.

Will of the Reaper

Military long range ballistics expert.  Eerily quiet.  Never speaks other than to say "OK" or "confirmed".  Might have been grown in a vat.

As tensions were spilling over, there were rumours going around of a big messy street battle where many weapons caches were left behind, the Band decided to venture out to see what they could gather.....
