Blood of The Covenant (ravage SP)

Description
This is a SINGLE PLAYER ONLY mission, built around RAVAGE mod!

Inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft


What is going on?

You are Jonathan Cole, a former Marine. Some weeks ago your friend Mitchell, with whom you served in The Marines, was convicted of a brutal murder and sentenced for 32 years in Ryderwood Island Penal Colony, with no possibility of parole. Soon after he was sent there, all contact with the island was lost.

First you tried to pressure government officials to find out whats going on in Ryderwood, but no investigation seemed to take place. Your friend Mitchell might be a convicted murderer, but he is also your friend, with whom you did many tours in Iraq and Syria, your blood brother. So you decided to travel to Ryderwood yourself, too see if there is something wrong or if their comms equipment is just broken.

You paid a fisherman to take you to Ryderwood with his ship. A mile away from the island the fisherman gets very nervous, wants to turn back... but he gives you a small lifeboat and an oar to get to the Island. As the night starts to darken, you paddle your way in to the Penal Colony Guard Post piers... and so the adventure begins!

About Mitchell

Lance Corporal James Mitchell was one of the finest marines you served with. Decorated, loved by his fellow marines, wounded twice. Honorably discharged from the service. You kept some contact with him after you both came back home, until a year ago when he stopped answering your calls. Last you heard of him, he was accepted into a university.

Everyone marine has their share of scars, both physical and mental, when they come back from combat, but Mitchell seemed to have a solid grip on things. That is why you were quite surprised when you heard on the news he was arrested for an extremely brutal murder... apparently he had taken a homeless person in to a motel room, and cut him in to pieces. Drained all the blood, used it to draw weird symbols on the motel floor...

You could not contact him during the trial, in which he gave no explanation for his actions. He did not try to defend him self in any way... he made a deal to plea guilty with only one condition: he wished to serve his sentence in Ryderwood Island Penal Colony.

Ryderwood Island Penal Colony

In 2018, United States Department of Justice started the New Penal Colony Program. Several penal colonies were established in remote locations such as islands or deserts. Ryderwood Island is one of those.

Ryderwood can host 250 convicts while only having 5 guards on site at a time. The guards mainly act as heavily armed food distributors, who stay in their Guard Post, and the inmates live on the island in their barracks at a site called Camp Justice.

Conditions are harsh, and mortality rate high. But the public don't seem to care as only the most violent and dangerous criminals are sent in Penal Colonies.

Designer notes
(IMPORTANT!)

This is a night mission. When ever you want, you can "adjust your eyes" to the night time. Helps you see a bit better in the darkness, if you wish... for this use RADIO CODE 0 - 0 - 1. You'll have to do this again EVERY TIME you load a save game, it kinda resets when loading... also you can reset manually with 0 - 0 - 2.

You will not be able to see yourself or the enemy on the map, so you'll have to navigate through Ryderwood yourself with map and compass... BUT everytime you get in a new location you'll get it marked on the map, that will help the navigation a bit, maybe...

The TASKS mainly revolve around INTEL items... so for example if the task is to find intel from a certain camp, you will not get Task Complete or the next task until you find THEM ALL. Might be one, might be several!

Almost everything is TASKED, but there are few OPTIONAL tasks you DON'T NEED to do (to complete the main story line) if you are in a hurry, they will be marked as optional... though it might be worth your while to check them out! Some intel just gives you map locations about convicts camps and movement. And some intel/sites are completely unrelated to the main story line, those will not trigger a Task, but might still lead you somewhere... if you wish to go. Maybe you will find and notice them, maybe you won't...

You might want to READ the intels PROPERLY, otherwise the story and the tasks won't make much sense... not sure they do anyways but still :)

YOU WILL NEED ALL THE MODS LISTED ON THE RIGHT!

If you want, you can also use:
ENHANCED MOVEMENT
ADVANCED URBAN RAPPELLING

Mission Features:

- ENDGAME!
- Uses RYDERWOOD map
- Night Mission. Not too dark though
- 1x time acceleration
- Story (heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos)
- Custom weapons pool. Mainly just old, low tech guns around
- LOTS of custom camps/places to go... if you find them
- Thirst/hunger (Ravage mod)
- Handplaced enemies with custom gear. No random stuff, except...
- Zombie-like things in the woods!
- Some custom music (by NVS)
- No sleeping, no traders, no radiation. This mission uses Ravage Mod, but some features are left out
- Only ONE vehicle on the island, maybe you'll get it running?
- Tasks! Tasks! Tasks!
- Foul, foul language. Lots.

Thanks to everyone who made the mods I used. Special thanks to NVS for the music.

There is so much stuff in this mission that I might have missed some faults / problems... PLEASE TELL IF YOU FIND ANY!

Little lazari you dont have to "get" the radio code from nowhere, you just hit 0 and then 0 and then 1 (or 2 to reset you vision) on your keyboard... assuming you haven't redefined your command controls.

But listen dude! I never tested this with ACE, so no guarantees this will work with ACE... you know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it probably wont.

Just finished this wonderful story for the sixth time. Everything in this script works! I found absolutely every place and parachute location =) Thanks Mauseri.

VaneTrainFleetofPain ahh, the parachute... havent visited this mission for a looong time, but I think the parachute thing was just to find a unique weapon... which you don't really need, so if you don't find the parachute, it doesnt matter.

I'm kinda surprised to hear this mission still works, there has been a ton of updates to the game and the mods since I released this. Enjoy...

the parachute I mean
VaneTrainFleetofPain 30 Oct, 2020 @ 3:47pm 
damm good misson and I'm still going through it, but I can't find that stupid parachute. I know where its located but I can't see the parachute. Anyways, probally going to skip it and come back later. If my flat front tire wasn't fuking me over (p.s.that tire was because I didn't see a tree till it was too late, lol). Might it be because I added arma advanced inventory mod?

wally_c64 enjoyable is good enough! Thanks for playing...

Just finished it after a couple of days. Lots and lots of walking as I never found the repair kit to fix the bike but it was enjoyable non the less.:steamhappy:

Wally_c64 maybe a mod thing... but did you look into the actual folder where the save files are? Perhaps, if you didn't yet restart the mission yet, you can find them even if the game doesn't, copy them somewhere, THEN restart the mission, and then copy the saves back into the mission save folder, and then the game sometimes finds them again... this a longshot, yes, but the best I can suggest. Sorry it all went bad, but still glad you liked the mission! I'll be posting a new mission in a week or two...

I must have been nearly half way through and now all my save games have disappeared. I was having a blast too. And no I didn't change anything and only used the required mods. Perhaps some mods auto updated and put an end to it. Not happy.
