Four Go Camping Part 1

Introduction
This is the first scenario of my St. Trinian's campaign using the N.O.W. rules by EN Publishing, which focuses on a contemporary setting. No dates are given for when this scenario takes place but it occurs during the summer holidays after the events in the St. Trinian's film but before St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. To keep things simple, I am only concentrating on four cast members - the Sixth Form Rude Girls, Sabrina Sykes, Bridget Strong, Frankie Fraser and Rosalie Alexander. They have stuck together since First Form and all come from criminal families.
Much like my The Ace of Spades Campaign, this will be very much story orientated but I will include more examples of how the rules work, which will be written in blue text. Note that although three of the girls are usually armed with pistols when at St. Trinian's in this scenario they are not carrying them. Bridget, however, has brought her baseball bat and Rosalie has a flick knife.
Four Go Camping
Sabrina, Bridget, Frankie and Rosalie had decided to spend a week camping in England during their summer holidays. Although they had no experience of camping they all thought it would be a fun thing to do. They had all the correct gear and they were in high spirits as they set off in Rosalie's big red 4-wheel drive car. The weather was sunny and hot with clear blue skies. They arrived at a large forest and found a suitable clearance to set up camp.
After supper, they were all still wide awake and pondering what to do when team leader Sabrina cheerfully suggested, "Why don't we go skinny dipping? There's a lake not too far from here."
The others agreed this was a great idea. Overhead, a full moon illuminated their way to the lake.
However, as they approached the lakeside, they saw a car was parked at the end of the path leading to the lake.
"It looks like someone else has had the same idea, girls," Frankie said.
"Yeah, look in the lake," Rosalie added.
Standing with his back towards them was an obese aged male, who looked oddly familiar to the girls.
"Oh my god!" Bridget declared, "It's Ronald Pump the aristocrat!"
Ronald Pump was a notorious lord, loathed by many for his outrageous behaviour and contempt of the lower classes, the poor, and the disabled.
"No way are we getting in the same lake as that slimeball," Sabrina announced.
"Let's steal his car," Rosalie suggested with a mischievous smile.
"The doors are unlocked and look, the keys are still in the ignition," Bridget observed.
"What an idiot!" Frankie added.
I had the girls make opposed rolls - their Agility plus Stealth skill verses Ronald's Perception score. Bridget rolled 4d6 and scored 13, Frankie rolled 5d6 and scored 20, Rosalie rolled 4d6 and scored 17 and Sabrina rolled 4d6 and scored 15. Ronald rolled 2d6 for his Perception and scored a measly 3. He heard nothing as the girls entered his car.
The noise of the car engine roaring into life alerted Ronald that something was amiss. Realisation swiftly dawned on him that not only was his car being stolen but so were his clothes, which he'd left on the driver's seat.
"Stop, thieves!" he screamed. "Come back!"
He scurried after them, furiously waving his arms in the air.
The girls responded by laughing and taking photos of him on their smart phones.
Within seconds Rosalie had floored the accelerator and was speeding away from the angry and embarrassed aristocrat.
 They dumped the car over a cliff and headed back to camp, laughing all the way.
As soon as they got back to the camp they uploaded their video footage of a naked Ronald Pump to YouTube. Within no time at all, it went viral. Ronald was later found walking along a country lane by a passing police car who took him into police custody and charged him with public indecency. This caused the girls no end of merriment! What a great start to their holiday!

  1. Loved it Bryan just loved it well worth the admission, I was laugh that much I nearly choked on my popcorn :) but have to say you mislead my a bit on the skinny dipping :(

    Can't go without saying top marks to the cameraman for that shot of Donald Pump in the lake I don't know how he pulled it off but it was excellent even if it was a horrible sight to behold lol.

    1. I greatly appreciate the kind words, Frank. Sorry for misleading you about the girls going skinny dipping. Their intentions were good but, well... you saw what happened!

      Yes, my cameraman certainly earned his stripes in this shoot! I had to pay him extra!
