B. Get every one to get into the Trukk and get the hell out of there
"Wot we do now boss?" asked another Gretchin. "We take da Trukk an drives off" replied Nippy. To the Gretchin the Trukk was almost the size of a Battlewagon. One Gretchin jumped into the driver's seat. He could not even see over the wheel. Another Gretchin sat next to the accelerator and the last needed to drive the Trukk sat next to the breaks. Nippy jumped onto the roof, he would point in the direction they should go. The rest piled into the back of the Trukk. It wasn't completed so it didn't have any guns, but it did have a reinforced ram. "Start drivin!" yelled Nippy, the Trukk quickly flew forwards. "Nah go da otha way you stoopid" said Nippy as the Trukk bumped into the wall. The Trukk flew backwards and passed through the wall next to the door way. The shack started to shake and began to fall apart. "Go da otha way! Fast!" yelled Nippy. The wheels of the Trukk span as a Gretchin jumped onto the accelerator, throwing up dirt behind the Trukk. It's engine roaring the Trukk flew forward through a couple more shacks before it managed to almost stay on the road. Nippy, like most Gretchin, didn't know the difference between left and right so he would yell loudly and point in the direction he wanted to go. The driver, not being able to see over the wheel stared up at him. The Trukk swerved all over the road, occassionally cliping a shack or two, and occasionally leveling a shack or two.
Nippy had no idea where they would go, just that they would go. To try to lower the amount of confusion in his crew he gave the other Gretchin names; which worked out well for them as they didn't remeber their old names anyway. The one on the accelerator was named Speedy, the one on the breaks was Fun-Krusha and the one behind the wheel was Wheely-Git. The rest of the Gretchin sat in the back of the Trukk. The occasionaly piece of debris from all the shacks they hit would land in the back. Nippy instructed them not to throw it away unless there was some Orks chasing them.
"Wheres we goin boss?" asked one of the Gretchin amongst the pile in the back. "Dunno.. Maybe us find a new an betta camp. Onli jus for us Gretchin" replied Nippy. "So we jus drivin round till we finds a new Gretchin camp?" asked another Gretchin. Nippy nodded. "Is dere wata dere?" asked another Gretchin. "Nah! Gretchin dun swim" replied Nippy. "So wheres it gonna be?" asked Wheely-Git.
What will you do?
A. Go to the mountains
B. Go to the forest
C. Go to the caves

C. Go to the caves
"Not da treez boss, deres too mani big Squiggys dere" said Fun-Krusha. "Wot about da big rokks?" asked Nippy. "Nah too mani flyn Squiggys dere" replied Speedy. "Den we go to da caves" said Nippy. "Deres Squiggys dere too!" shouted Fun-Krusha. "Yep! Small Squiggys dat well smash wif da Trukk" said Nippy. He pointed off to the right and the Trukk quickly swerved over in that direction, almost rolling over. They were now off the road and driving through the wilderness. The Trukk was shaken around a fair bit from all the rocks they ran over. There was an ocassional dead tree, but mostly it was dead grass, sand and rocks.
Nippy was almost thrown off of the Trukk several times because of the terrain. Several Gretchin were thrown out the back and ran behind the Trukk to catch up. Occassionally the Trukk had to be stopped as there usually ended up being more running behind the Trukk then actually in the Trukk. "'old on propa dis time!" yelled Nippy after the Trukk was stopped for the sixth time. The caves were at the base of the nearest mountain. They were close to it now. As they got closer the dead trees bacame more and more frequent. Eventually the Trukk could no longer manage to dodge the trees and instead started ploughing through them. They bounced off of the reinforced ram and flew over the Trukk.
"Fun-Krusha! Stop da Trukk!" yelled Nippy as they arrived at the caves. Fun-Krusha eventaully hit the brakes and the Trukk skidded into the cliff-face next to the cave. "Wot you do dat for you crazy git!" yelled Nippy, he smacked Fun-Krusha over the head with the Bolt Pistol and then jumped out of the Trukk the others followed. Speedy picked up a rock the size of his fist, Wheely-Git picked up the steering wheel, which had been launhed out of the Trukk, and Fun-Krusha rubbed his head and muttered as he followed. The rest of the Gretchin picked up various fragments of the rocks and trees they had fit on the way to the cave. Nippy led them inside the cave. Inside they found a few leftover weapons and supplies from the last battle that took place between the two major tribes of the area. The Gretchin abandoned their current weapons and swarmed over the crates. When they finally managed to get a crate open, Nippy had shot it a few times and they started kicking it, they were surprised to find out that the crate was filled with Lasguns. Nippy dusted off the other boxes and looked at them. "Deres sum sorta winged squiggy on the side of it" said Nippy. One of the Gretchin decided to try out the gun and fired it down the cave. A thin red beam of light shot down the cave as he held the trigger down. It was quickly followed by a roaring sound and then the sounds of footsteps. The Gretchin started running out of the cave. Nippy fired the Bolt Pistol down the cave, the Gretchin stopped to pay attention to him. "Gretchin! We dun always run! Todae we fight for all Gretchin... Gretchin aim Pew-Pews dat way!" said Nippy. The Gretchin stopped and aimed the Lasguns down the cave towards the still unseen enemy. START SHOOTIN!" yelled Nippy, he started firing the Bolt Pistol as well. After a few minutes of shooting the Gretchin stopped. Nippy picked up a piece of wood and grabbed one of the nearby Gretchin's Lasguns. He fired it a few times at the end of the wood, he missed a few times, but when it finally hit the wood caught fire. Nippy used it as a torch and walked down the cave to see what they had been fighting. He came across some Squig corpses, they had been cooked by the constant Lasgun fire. Nippy quickly ran back to the other Gretchin. "Gretchin! Deys were Squiggys" said Nippy. "R dey ded?" asked Wheely-git. "Yea! Deys cookd" said Nippy. "Deys food?" asked Speedy. "Yea!" said Nippy. The Gretchin dropped their weapons and scurried down to the other end of the cave. The small green swarm quickly enveloped and devoured the five Squig corpses. They then returned to the cave enterance, because it is light there and they were afraid of the dark. Nippy looked through the other crates as they opened them. They all contained Imperial Guard equipment, as if they had tried to invade the planet at some point but failed.
The Gretchin put on the Flak vests, helmets and shoulder pads.
What will you do?
A. Try to get some more Gretchin from the more smaller tribes nearby
B. Explore the cave some more
C. Create your own choice

B. If so much equipment was stashed near the cave entrance I would want to further explore the caves reaches, and not only look for the source of the squig infestation but also to gauge if the imperials had hidden anything deeper within the cave.

You were just waiting for that
5
A. Try to get some more Gretchin from the more smaller tribes nearby
"Alright you Gretchins! Dere might be more squiggys in da cave.. So wes gunna gets moar Gretchins" said Nippy. The other Gretchin looked around the cave with their Lasguns raised. "To da Trukk!" yelled Nippy. The Gretchin quickly scurried out of the cave and towards the Trukk. "Da Trukk is broke" said Fun-Krusha, living up to his name. "Nah Wheely-Git jus needz ta put da round gubbin back den da Trukk is fixd" replied Nippy, he hit Fun-Krusha in the back of the head again. Wheely-Git bashed the wheel into place and started the Trukk's engine. Fun-Krusha, Speedy and Wheely got back into the same places they were before. The rest of the Gretchin piled into the back with their Lasguns ready. The Trukk zoomed backwards from the cliff face, flinging dirt and rocks. It went through a tree then started to move forwards. There were several small nearby Ork tribes. None of them could pose much of a threat to the tribe Nippy and the others had come from, but if it became time for a Waaaghh they would be absorbed by the bigger tribes. None of the Gretchin were old enough to actually have seen the last one, but it ended on the current planet they were on. The planet used to be a thriving Imperial Agri-World in a small system on the edge of the galaxy. It was unlucky enough to be the closest system when a 'ulk was spat out of the warp. The waaaghh had claimed a couple of systems before it, but this was the last one it visited. It mostly ended out of disappointment. Only a couple of the planets in the system were actually claimed by the Imperium and even those were small. Neither of them had a large enough army to keep the fight going for long and the Waaaghh was left at a dead end system, their only means of getting to another system, the 'ulk, smashed into the current planet.
They arrived at the first of the small camps. The Orks there scratched their heads as they saw the Trukk past them, a few started laughing. But, they were lucky. The Orks thought of them as being too weedy and left them alone. The Gretchin of the tribe there saw how they were ignored by the Orks and approached them. "Gretchins! Wez 'ere to take you wif us! Joins da Gretchin Revalushun!" yelled Nippy. The Gretchin scratched their heads. "Hu are you den?" asked one of the Gretchin. "'es da un dat smashd da squiggys an savd us" said Speedy. The Gretchin though about it for a second and quickly jumped into the back of the Trukk, given the choice between running off with strangers that may kill them and staying with Orks they know that will kill them they decided fairly quickly. The Trukk quickly turned around and headed back towards the cave which was on the way to the other tribe. "Wez stopp at da cave an get you lot sum Pew-Pews an sum 'ard ragz" said Nippy. "U mean da stuff dat da otha Gretchins 'ere got?" asked one of the new Gretchin. "Yep" replied Nippy. Including the new Gretchin they got they now had around 28.
They arrived back at the cave, but stopped at it better then they did the last time. Fun-Krusha still got hit as he kept hitting the brakes everytime he thought they were there. The Gretchin piled out and swarmed over the crates. The new Gretchin quickly got their new equipment and piled back into the Trukk. They sped off towards the other tribe. It was around the same size as the other tribe, but they had to cross a bridge on the way. Once they got there they found that a few Orks had taken over the bridge and set up a toll. None of the Gretchin had any teeth that would be worth anything to the Orks so their options were fairly limited. The toll booth was set up with a ramshackle wall across the bridge.
What will you do?
A. Just drive though the toll booth and continue
B. Shoot at them with the Lasguns
C. Create your own choice
