Continuing where the last video left off, I watched the Bandits cross the bridge east of the Saw Mill and leave the road and go up the hill, skirting the edge of the Burnt Farmstead. I followed them a bit and then looked around down the road going past Izumrudnoye and found it clear of mutants. I turned around and went back the way we had come but instead of descending the hill back to the bridge, I continued going around the far side of the Burnt Farmstead, crossed the road and proceeded to go visit the dock at the northern lake.

I found a pack of Pseudodogs there that I cleared out and descended again and crossed the narrow channel and climbed the hill going to the side access of the high bluff where the Game started. I walked all around it find it deserted and found the Boiler Anomaly similarly empty. getting ready to leave at the main southern entrance, I found a two-man Loner squad who I sold a pistol and vodka to. I used my FT-200M to scan the basin and picked up some Zombies halfway out in the middle of the dried up river. I came up behind the two Zombies, blasted them with my eliminator and looted them. Then I saw a Bandit squad to the east that had money, but I had nothing that was lightly used to sell them. Everything needed repair so I returned to the Skadovsk.

Going out fairly quickly, I looked to the north where I expected the Bandits to have traveled and instead saw three Loner Zombies looking right at me and traveling south. From a distance I shot them then moved in for the loot. Instead of returning to the Skadovsk with the loot, I continued on making a beeline for the docks where I had expected the Bandits to go. I found two Bandit squads there and sold all the weapons I had but a couple of pistols that were too damaged. I hung out briefly enjoying the tranquility of the shore but eventually pressed on going back up the steep incline and to the road above.

There I saw another squad of Loner Zombies that I shot and looted and then turned around to return to the Bandits at the dock to sell what I could. I still had many weapons I could not, and I left them and was back going to where I had killed the Zombies and used one of them to dump the excess pistols. I looped around the Burnt Farmstead, found the same two Bandits camped outside of it and then decided to enter the Cave system below to collect and artifacts. While down there an Emission hit but I was safe there and continued my exploration.

I came out later with one artifact, using a different passage to exit in another location. I went back up the hill to the road and returned to where the Bandits had been but did not find any bodies. Going around to the northern side of the Burnt farmstead in the middle of the road, there lay two dead, a SEVA suit and Exoskeleton Loners, obviously caught outside during the Emission. I took the loot feeling sad and went to see if the Bandits at the dock had survived. They did, and one of the squads was coming up the hill towards me.

I suddenly detected more Stalkers around me than I could see and found myself in the middle of a firefight between the Bandits and a squad of Loners. The shooting was intense, but the three Loners lost, and the Bandits only lost one man, that left me with a lot of loot to collect. I returned to the Skadovsk, processed the loot and was done right as it was time for all the Loners to return to the ship for the evening and where I ended the video.
