Situation

The UN has asked for our assistance with an urgent matter. The Children of Chernobog cult that was assumed destroyed following a successful Theseus Contract have come back in a big way. The Children of Chernobog have been forcefully recruiting members, and fighting local law enforcement for the better part of a year, to the point where the area around Virolahti has been subsumed into the cult's territory, with many citizens refusing to leave their houses for fear of forceful recruitment or death. The UN has decided to send us in, as we have experience dealing with this cult, and asked us to destroy the cult's leadership by any means necessary. The cult is in possession of copious amounts of anti-air assets, so Theseus Air Services has been grounded to protect our birds, so it's boots to the ground.

Objectives

As soon as we landed the Children of Chernobog has begun to mobilise a large force to attempt to overrun our position. A previous unknown paramilitary group seems to have set up a FOB to the south, marked as FOB Watcher in the abandoned Sports Arena that should be defensible. We'll set up in FOB Watcher, and hold off whatever the cult throws at us. There's been a lot of movement, so expect heavy resistance and bring lots of ammunition.

We have pictured here three compositions of the Children of Chernobog, separated by social pecking order. The first is the Children, mostly unwilling slaves and those desperate enough to believe the dogma of the cult. The Children's equipment mostly consists of scavenged or stolen weapons, with no body armour for most of the members, simply being too numerous to protect.

The Chosen are less common, but consist of those the Cult has deemed worthy, by blood or by money. They are used to protect areas of import to the cult, if you see them, something important may be nearby. They are afforded modern Russian Military equipment, and strong armour, so either aim for the head or bring AP.

The last are the most rare, and the most dangerous, the Sons are only spoken of in whispers, but enough is known that we have some ideas as to their capabilities. The Sons seem to be the Command Squad for the cult, protecting their religious leaders, the so-called Enlightened Ones who wear robes of the Russian Orthodoxy. They have incredibly strong body armour and formidable weapons, so be cautious if you see any of their number.
