The Future isn't What It Used To Be - - Orbital Decay (MicroRed version) From The Red Room, Red Novanexus, & The New Flesh Rpg Setting - The Last Redoubt Reavers

 The party encountered a group of road pirates called the Last Redoubt Reavers  from the last session Sunday, November 23, 2025 on the Iron Road of the global high way! The group barely survived! 

The  Last Redoubt Reavers weren't just after loot and rather the biological material! The party lost the Reavers on the outskirts of Aviladad. Here's the latest stats for the Last Redoubt Reavers for the Red New Flesh Rpg. 

The Last Redoubt Reavers (Road Pirates)

The Last Redoubt Reavers are a faction of road pirates who operate outside the protection of the Redoubt, scavenging for scarce resources, technology, and unprocessed bio-flesh in the radioactive, monster-haunted Night Land. They utilize heavy, jury-rigged vehicles inspired by the Highwayman’s modular trucks, but grotesquely modified with Giger-esque biopunk additions.

Road Pirate General Stats

These stats represent a standard Road Pirate Trooper (a common antagonist).

Statistic	Score	Description
Body	5	Average physical bulk, augmented by scavenged plating.
Willpower	4	Low moral fortitude, driven by fear and hunger.
Toughness	6	High resilience from exposure and rough grafts.
Initiative	5	Quick to ambush and react to road hazards.
Weapon Skill	5	Competent with improvised melee weapons.
Ballistics Skill	6	Good with mounted and heavy projectile weapons.
Intelligence	3	Lacking in higher strategy, relies on brute force.
Wounds (HP)	18	Can take a few hits before going down.
Armor	+2	Scavenged metal plates and crude bio-grafts.

Special Traits

• Vicious Attack: Once per round, when attacking an already wounded target, the pirate gains +1 to their attack roll.

 Road Pirate Gear & Bio-Flesh

Primary Weapons

Weapon	Type	Damage	Notes
Wasteland Harpoon Gun	Ballistic	1d10 + 2	Ranged, Heavy. Used for immobilizing vehicles or dragging targets.
Spiked Chain Flail	Melee	1d8 + 1	Melee, Reach (1 Zone). Used for whipping opponents or snagging ropes.
Scavenger Shotgun	Ballistic	1d12	Ranged, Close-Range. Excellent for close-quarters combat inside a truck.

Bio-Flesh Augments (Common)

The Reavers rely on crude, painful biopunk modifications often "harvested" from previous victims or strange Night Land monsters.

• Basic Bio-Plating Graft (Toughness): A patchy, chitinous graft on the torso, granting +1 Toughness (already included in stats) and +1 Armor. The graft sometimes sheds foul fluids (GM can impose Disgust checks).

• Hydro-Regeneration Cysts (Body): Small, bladder-like growths that store purified water and nutrients, granting a natural recovery rate (recover 1d4 Wounds during an 8-hour rest instead of 1). The cysts are sensitive and a Critical Hit to the torso may burst one, inflicting a temporary -1 Body penalty from dehydration/fluid loss.

The Bio-Hauler Truck (The Night Stalker)

Inspired by the Highwayman truck, the Reavers' Bio-Hauler is a massive, chrome-and-bone nightmare.

Vehicle Stats

Statistic	Value	Description
Handling	4	Slow and heavy, poor maneuverability.
Speed	6	Good straight-line speed on flat terrain.
Armor	+4	Heavy frontal armor and bio-grafts.

 Expanded Material: The Night Land & The Highwayman

The Night Land Elements (Horror & Scarcity)

• The Gloom & The Earth-Current: Outside the Last Redoubt, the world is shrouded in an eternal, lightless gloom. Technology must be powered by tapping into the Earth-Current, a subterranean energy source that also attracts the strange, monstrous "Powers" of the Night Land. Reaver trucks use unstable, stolen Current-taps, risking a catastrophic power surge (GM's call).

• Bio-Flesh Harvest: The Reavers aren't just after goods; they seek raw biological matter—mutated animals, ab-humanoid corpses, or unfortunate travelers—to feed the Bio-Hauler's Bio-Processor. This machine converts flesh into fuel, unstable drugs, and temporary Bio-Grafts.

• The Watchers: The ultimate existential threat. Reavers avoid areas where the colossal, ancient entities (The Watchers) are known to lurk, knowing that even their powerful trucks are utterly insignificant to these forces. Encounters should be cinematic and involve fleeing for survival, not combat.

The Highwayman Elements (Action & Style)

• Modular Truck System: The Bio-Hauler's core is modular. The cab and engine can be detached from the Hauling Bed/Bio-Processor module. If the main module is destroyed, the Cab can detach and escape, becoming a "Wretched Runner" (Speed 7, Armor +1, HP 15).

• The Highwayman Archetype: Introduce a rival "Highwayman" NPC or faction—a vigilante with a high-tech, non-biopunk vehicle who sees the Reavers as an abomination. This rival could be a morally ambiguous 'hero' operating from a forgotten government or corporation, adding a classic Western/action dynamic to the bio-horror setting.
