It's a Jungle Out There

Missionaries and Friends

By Jim Morgan

Your missionaries have been working with the locals for five years now and are just beginning to have some success. Because of your preaching and example, one tribe has recently converted and has become tenuously pacified (they still know where they buried their weapons in case of attack). You would like to save more souls, but have lost several brethren to the stewpots of the cannibals. While you would like to convert those savages also, it might have to be at gun- or spear-point. To this end, you requested supplies and reinforcements to preserve and protect your flock, and in response your superiors have dispatched trading goods and some capable guards). You are on friendly terms with Tarzan and lane, but wish they would don some decent clothes and act more civilized.

Half-naked Jane and the Vixens are finally leaving the village so you can resume your spiritual duties. The toot-toot of Captain Bogart's Jungle Princess Steamer down river means the imminent arrival of your supplies and replacement missionaries. Praise the Lord! While you prepare them to meet you at the dock, the Spirit moves you to have your row-boats prepared to immediately take the new brethren on a mission to convert the cannibals! Some of the hired protection could be left to watch the villagein case rumors of a military expedition are true-and also oversee the unloading of supplies. The village and the supplies must be protected if your mission is to succeed.

Starting Position(s):

All of your missionaries and converted natives start in the village. Your new recruits, your bodyguards, and your supplies are on the Jungle Princess, which is just about to pull up to the dock. You have two rowboats which can cross the river and transport you to preach to the cannibals.
