Overview

You are the anthroid crewmembers of FDNY Engine 65, dispatched to a blazing townhouse in Manhattan. The fire is stubbornly resisting efforts to fight it, and there are 3 known people trapped inside the building: Abdul, an elderly man, Lisa, a young girl, and Johnson, a human firefighter who went in first to attempt 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 the PC’s 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 or fire escape.
• The townhouse is directly adjacent to other townhouses and cannot be moved around, i.e. there is no alleyway.
