You are the anthroid crewmembers of FDNY Engine 65, dispatched to a blazing townhouse in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen. The fire is stubbornly resisting efforts to fight it, and there are 3 known people trapped inside the building: an elderly man, a young girl, and a human firefighter who attempted a rescue but is no longer responding to radio calls.

Your Captain’s orders: Get in there fast and get those people out!

Map of Townhouse

This scenario uses zones in the following map to track Player Character movement.

Notes

• All doors are open unless otherwise specified, and rooms can be looked into from adjacent zones.
• To see through an adjacent room into an adjoining room through open doors, PCs must make a Mark 3 Perception Check.
• Special Rule: The extreme heat of the fire has a negative impact on anthroid charge—it costs 1 CHG to move from one zone to another. The PCs start the scenario at full charge.
• Firefighter anthroids are equipped with infrared vision. This allows them to see the temperature of doors and doorknobs, etc..
• Firefighters on the street can catch bodies thrown from a 2nd floor window.
• The townhouse is directly adjacent to other townhouses and cannot be moved around, i.e. there is no alleyway.

Locations

Hallway 1

Each PC automatically takes 2 Stress and 2 Fear upon entering the fiercely burning building.

Parlor

The East wall is not on fire, and plugged into this wall is a functioning anthroid recharging station. PCs can use it if they want.

Stairs

The stairs have a hidden weak spot. A Mark 3 Perception Check will reveal it, otherwise a PC stepping on it will fall through, taking 2d damage to a random Module. Once revealed, the weak area can be moved around and up/down the stairs.
