"Alright men. There is no other way down. Get your climbing kits ready and I'll see you at the bottom." I grab my climbing kit from my bag. I attack the boot spikes and attack the two ice axes and climb down carefully, having slung all available machineary, such as a minigun.

all goes well until you are about an hour into the climb. A snow storm begins and you and your men are blown arround like ragdolls in the strong winds. Nate looses his footing and falls to what would have been his death, had another of your men been there to grab his arm as he droped past him. Nate is helped back to the cliff face, someone secures him and he ensures he wont drop again. This sets you back several minutes. It grows dark. a further three hours in you find yourself about half a mile from the base of the mountain. You can vaguely make out several campfires and a couple of structures.
you reach the base of the mountain and enter the camp. Only one of the camp fires is still alight, you can just make out the silloetes of a few igloos. One has been decorated by a wooden pole with a large fur of some sort hanging from it.

"Hello?" I shout through. Preparing my weapon and having had time to catch my breath and regain my composure.

then before they start the their attack a ship apears in the air is as if it was invisible and now it wasnt what could the attencion as well was the fact that it didnt make any noise the only thing you could hear from the ship was the steps of men in there the ship landed and the door opened Pharaoh came out with anubis and horus, "well no one bother to call me?, doesnt matter I knew it anyway..." i have come to help the truly King of foxtonland so what are the orders tommy? my men are at your disposition at this moment, I would lead this but you know more about this sort of attacks than me I would just tear the building open and kill everyone that is in my way... Till I get to save foxton but anyway... Go ahead whats your plan??

.... You say that you reach tommy safely... but you don't.. you invisible ship has to give off a heat signature of some sort.... boom.... as you near the boarder the weather worsens, visibility dramatically decreases, heavy snow and hail batters your ship... Making it a little less invisible. there is a loud booming sound.. Similar to thunder... Your alarms sound..
your ship is sent spinning out of control, a large hole has bee melted into both sides of your ship, destroying the big HEAT EMITTING engine..
you crash land a mile or so from the boarder in the middle of the tundras.... Your ship is destroyed... your soldiers dead or dying, though some may yet fight on..

tommy...
you see a bright blue beam of steaming hot plasma fires into the night sky, this is followed by an intensely bright light. Followed by an ear shattering bang. Every on in the camp gets out their igloos to see whats going on. at least you got the elders attention...

"Oh for the love of...." I stand for a moment. "I don't envy that poor sod..." I turn to the eldars, No.82 lowered in a non-threatening position. "Hello. Who are you people?" I ask.

"motorised? no, we do have these dog sleds," he points over to a largeish igloo, it has several sleds by the enterance, "however, both you and the dogs will need rest before heading out, and we will need payment for the use of our transport"

"Uuh, thanks" I open my pack (OF DOOM!) and pull out a sleeping bag and lie down (With the rest of the squad[IN SEPERATE SLEEPING BAGS, you sick minded fuck! {lol}]) and sleep until I wake (via an unforeseen even) I wake up naturally or am awoken by the people who reside there.

you are woken by the residents, a group of people lead you to the elders igloo, only you are allowed in, your men are told to wait with the... Erm young women of the tribe "please sit" the elder asks you politely as you enter, he points to a seat fashioned from a tree stump. You sit opposite him(then again do you have a choice?)and you are given some kind of hot water and herb thing to drink. The elder watches you carefully through the fire which separates you.

"it is not you who should be thanking us, my people are fortunate you arrived" he pauses and looks at you "i had mentioned payment before you slept, but perhaps I was not clear on my meaning. We are nomads, we do not need money as we make everything we need. We need your aid"

"When I offered anything, I meant anything. That included resources not of monitary value. Well... There are a couple of things I don't include in that list, but I'm sure you wouldn't want those anyway." I sip the drink a bit more. "What do you want us to do?"
