The Mysterious Radio Signal is a common driving event in Death Road to Canada.
Event Text[]
The group finds a strange repeating message on the radio. It's a series of short bursts of music, beeps, spoken numbers, and haunting slide whistle noises. There's also a kazoo in there.
What could it all mean?
- Ignore it
- Decipher message
- Drive to signal
- [Paranoid Character] THIS IS A TRAP
Results[]
Ignore it[]
- Nothing happens
Decipher message[]
If alone: [Character] tries to figure the code out by himself/herself...
If not alone: The team puts their heads together to figure out the code...
Character has high Wits (if alone)/Party's total Wits are above 10 (if not alone)[]
The message warns that the base has been abandoned, but they hid a stash of ammo to help other survivors. The stash turns out to be nearby!
- [Party] +1 Morale
- [Party] Wits revealed
- +20-35 pistol ammo
- (70% chance) +13-25 rifle ammo
- (50% chance) +12-16 shotgun ammo
All the chances are independent of each other.
Recruit Text
Party's total wits are above 17
The team decodes an additional ultra-secret message:
We also ditched [Character], they were a real nerd. You can recruit them if you're desperate.
- Option to recruit character. Character is a regular random recruit.
Otherwise[]
The message says something like DRINK MORE OVALTUMS
It's just nonsense! What a waste of time!
- [Party] -1 Morale
Drive to signal[]
The group attempts to drive to the signal by listening for the radio broadcast as it gets weaker or stronger. This takes quite a bit of time.
If driving the UFO: Funny enough, this car takes no gas.
- Lose a large amount of gas (depends on car mileage, same as a failed detour)
- Group sleeps, one meal is eaten, healing event happens if possible
They find a prepper bunker that is still playing the message. Everyone left in a hurry, leaving behind a stash of supplies.
- +7-10 food
- +20-35 pistol ammo
- (70% chance) +3-7 medical supplies
- (70% chance) +13-25 rifle ammo
- (50% chance) +30-60 gas
- (50% chance) +12-16 shotgun ammo
All the chances are independent of each other.
[Character] THIS IS A TRAP(Paranoid Stat Combo)[]
THIS IS AN OBVIOUS TRAP SET BY THE GOVERNMENT.
THE SECRET ZOMBIE GOVERNMENT!
The group wastes no time PEELING OUT of there! [Character] is quite relieved to have escaped.
