WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUTThe Road Home was a long-winded adventure across nearly three years of real-world time and almost two years of in-world time. It racked up a massive backlog of recap posts that were never put down, and so much story that it was never feasible to put it all in here. The following is a record - though broadly incomplete - of the happenings of the campaign. Logs covering the nitty-gritty of it can be found on Erfbound's Discord server.

PROLOGUE: SUMMER IN CAIRONote: The prologue and subsequent intermission used recap posts for each individual sub-chapter. This method was found to be too time-consuming to continue, and was replaced with whole-chapter recap posts by chapter 1.- 0.0: June 28th - June 28th, 1312 OSC (6/28/2019)The road started with a Cloneston police van in the Pig Pen, in western Darimesa. The van ran into trouble with a gravity anomaly. After that, it was a big mesh of meetings between the cast soon to be. Ashton Winters, Azeem'Ulem, Sylvester Duniziar, Ves'Narun, and Outlander all rode to a clone-impersonating Looney bunker in style. Vari'Surkovat, Laka, Valadile, Dracula, Suzy, Adrian Henderson, and Zaja'Nazari ended up in a big fight with marauding clones. Soon after, they rode to the bunker to meet the rest. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.1: June 28th - June 29th, 1312 OSC (7/3/2019)The team licked their wounds and worked through their illnesses underground. People were questioned. Sylvester repeatedly emphasized his limited Looneyhood with dangerously-tolerant remarks about his companions. Vari met Ves. The two schemed to extricate Zaja to orbit - with or without Adrian. Ashton tried to fix himself. The Loonies were not accommodating. Jimmy arrived. Things got loud. Dark and dangerous things happened behind closed doors. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.2: June 29th - July 5th, 1312 OSC (7/5/2019)Zaja was found to have a personal gravity manipulator array, and Ashton was livid about it. He made a dangerous nuisance of himself. There were arguments. There were intrusions. There were many mean words between the spacers. Zaja let it slip to Vari and Azeem; she was looking for Madness Command Post. She didn't explain why. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.3: July 5th - July 5th, 1312 OSC (7/5/2019)Meet the cast. The van was recovered and repaired. A scrap-job scout car was stitched together out of parts from other vans. Adrian offered the rest a ride. They accepted. Adrian and Zaja revealed their quest for Madness. They still didn't explain why. Everyone was introduced to eachother. Everyone picked out their ride, figured out their place on the team, and readied up. Ashton, Vari, Laka, Azeem, Adrian, and Zaja took the rear with the van. Valadile, Dracula, Suzy, Sylvester, and Outlander rode out front in the car. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.4: July 5th - July 6th, 1312 OSC (7/6/2019)Meet the cast, part two. The team wrapped up introductions. They scooted out into the snow with their new rides. They rode for the place where Zaja met Vari. They were forced to take a detour after spying a mob of clones near their first rendezvous. They circled around near a cliffside and were nearly squashed by a hoprock. They circled around near a forest and were nearly spooked senseless by ghosts. They tried to salvage a mess of corpses from a previous fight. The woods spooked them too much. They left. They camped nearby. An emotional conversation between Vari and Zaja turned into an awkward staring contest. The team had their first sleep in the wilds. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.5: July 5th - July 6th, 1312 OSC (7/7/2019)The team's first morning in the wilds started with a foot shortage. The first hunting trip started with Vari and Outlander. Dracula returned from a night's scavenging trip with a bag full of ammo. Zaja showed her face for the first time - with a hologram. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.6: July 6th - July 9th, 1312 OSC (7/8/2019)Vari and Outlander made a hunting trip to the cliffsides. They brought back a bunny, and a freshly-slain glazebeast. Vari's arms were finally restored with Ashton and Zaja's help. Hunting finally started to pay back dividends. The team was clear of hunger for a time. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.7: July 9th - July 10th, 1312 OSC (7/9/2019)Vari and Outlander took another hunting trip to the forest - at night. Things got weird. Ghosts started attacking. The two got separated. Terrible things happened to Vari's grip on reality. A search party went out, and things got weirder. Vari killed a strawcrawler, dragged it out of the woods, and linked back up with Outlander. The two shuffled back to the van - with the search party still searching. Vari found a Cult religious book, suffered a power outage, and keeled over. Adrian and Zaja cut her out of her clothes to restore power. The operation was a success. An incident went down over her exposed suit. The search party returned, still a little spooked. The strawcrawler went into the pot. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.8: July 10th - July 12th, 1312 OSC (7/11/2019)Slow days. Adrian and Zaja spent time converting the team's ammo stockpile. Ashton tinkered with a pistol. Vari spent her hours flipping through the Cult book. Ves and Vari went on a late-night scavenging trip. Glazebeasts attacked the next night - and ran howling into the pot. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.9: July 12th - July 12th, 1312 OSC (7/12/2019)Vari celebrated her birthday. The team capitalized on it by hitting up the pirate ship she'd been kidnapped by weeks prior to the campaign's start. They crossed the river to reach the wreck. Instead of pirates, they found cutter drones carving up the wreck. A boarding party set out to salvage what they could before the wreck could be scrapped. They found many cutters. They killed many cutters. They found a bunch of supplies, Vari's belongings, and a surviving pirate. They bailed just before the cutters found a way to detonate the hulk's fuel stores. - Main - Side- Safehouse- 0.10: July 12th - July 13th, 1312 OSC (7/13/2019)The team made camp - near the forest, on the other bank of the river. They sorted through their loot. Adrian dealt with the captured pirate. He came back with a free softsuit. Jimmies howled into the night from the forest. Sleep was not simple. - Main - Side- Safehouse
