The reverend.

The PC have come across the good reverend and his flock. Now this group has a odd take on thing, best way to describe it is, man had relied too much on technology, and god brought down his wrath to bring us back to the way that he intended for mankind to live.
So there calling is to destroy anyone and those items that is an affront to god.

Twists.
1) This is a splinter group from the main church, the reason for the split is the church is going too far or not far enough. Example the main church is ok with a 1900's era level of tech, but this splinter group is ok with a 1940's or the other way around, or pick your own tech levels.

2) The reverend is using technology to destroy technology when they reach their goal then they too will get rid of what they are using. (Or not)

The Librarian.
Remember the old 'reading is fundamental' van well it is back.
This guy travels with the a merchant caravan as the local lending library.
Or he runs the town library.
Twists.
1) "For a bookworm you do know a lot about killing." He was not always one, before this he was a special forces solider and had enough of killing and destruction, now he wants to rebuild things.

2) The "good reverend and his flock of religious nut-jobs" are after the Librarian because she is teaching people the "wrong things"

Stan the Sentinal:

Location, Gettysburgh, PA

In a quiet museum, a lone figure sits in the gloom. He has his back to a display that has (?) one of the original copies of the Gettysburgh Address. The sentinal has decided that HE must guard one of the seminal writings in American History. He is dressed in Vietnam era camo, he has a Browning Semi-Auto 12 ga. shotgun. On his hip is a Colt 1911 .45. He has PLENTY of ammo for both weapons. Plus a really wicked looking Bowie Knife.

Stan has stockpiled a large amount of Vietnam era "C" rations, water, a sleeping bag, and various other camping articles. He has rigged the entrances with alarms. (Mostly very fine fishing line attached to tin cans with rocks, bells and other noise producing items.)

Stan feels that he is performing "A Sacred Duty". There is no telling how to "talk him down".

Twists:

1) That is REALLY one of the five known copies of the Gettysburgh Address!!!

2) Stan was a GB that was ordered to collect the G.A. and bring it to the Presidential Retreat in Maryland. The chaos of TDM unhinged his mind so that he imagines his orders are to protect vs. retrieve.

Sorry, maybe missing something here, but what's a GB in this context?

Sorry, I should have used proper nomenclature. "GB" is American slang for Green Beret. One of the US special forces that specialize in local counter-terrorism.

Thanks, I'm familiar with Green Berets, had just never heard the term 'GB' used to refer to them.

Cheers
