Peoria

Peoria, also called Preoria,^[1] is a location in Fallout Tactics. It can be reached from Bunker Beta, and is located halfway between Chicago and St. Louis.

Background[edit]

The area has been inhabited by the Whachutu tribe since the Great War, who built their homes over a pre-War storehouse containing fusion batteries,^[1] which they believe is a gateway between life and death.^[2]

The tribe's leadership consists of their village elder Chevron, and their shaman and spirit seeker, Dhal.^[3] The tribe also occasionally experiences cases of "vomit fever," which is caused by exposure to radiation from the storehouse.^[4]

Layout[edit]

The storehouse is guarded by several automated turrets and inhabited by radscorpions and cockroaches.

Related missions[edit]

However, some of our more advanced equipment requires Fusion Batteries to function. Until we regain the technology to manufacture our own batteries, we must acquire these power sources elsewhere. This mission centers on a tribal village in the area of Peoria. Intelligence reports that the tribals built their village over a pre-war storehouse of fusion batteries. While they guard these batteries zealously, it is doubtful that they understand their function. While these savages no longer surprise me with their Neanderthal antics, do not underestimate them. They fight well enough to thrive in the Wasteland and their religious zeal, however misguided, gives them strength. You will use any means available to retrieve at least three Fusion Batteries, but remember warrior, some fights can be won without drawing blood. Who knows, one day the Preoria region might supply some able-bodied recruits. You are dismissed."

I understand you require some of... what you call them?..Oh, "fyushun bats." Sadly, Whachutu cannot help you friend. They kept where bad spirits go wait for entrance into Hell. These very bad spirits, friend. kill my people and make bad smell. You chase away bad spirit, you may have bats and leave a friend of the Whachutu people."

↑ Dhal: "I am Dhal, Spirit Seeker of the Whachutu tribe. I sense you wish to enter the caves. Listen to me then. Our small village has lived in isolation since the day of fire. Life was hard, but we remain true to our gods by not marrying outside the village. We must keep our bodies as pure as our faith. But the evil spirits have been hungry for our souls. Since the home of these spirits lies between life and death, their aura will poison your very life force. Any Whachutu who ventured there, returned with vomit fever. If you are to go there, you must carry these blessed pebbles. The vomit fever cannot affect those of my people who have swallowed the pebbles. Here, take these. I blessed them with my own magic. I am Dhal, Spirit Seeker of Whachutu. I have spoken."
(Dhal's dialogue)
↑ Dhal: "I sense you are curious about the vomit fever. Listen to me then. The vomit fever is sometimes fatal. It brings vomit and burning heads to people. Skin becomes like dry ground, tongue swollen like stubbed toe. Red ground of teeth weeps blood. It is an evil spell cast by vengeful spirits. The ancients had a cure for this curse, and I have sought it out. It is in the trunk inside my hut. But I do not know how to use it. Eating it only made pain in stomach and run to middens. Smoking it only made bad smell. You are welcome to take some if you like. I am Dhal, Spirit Seeker of Whachutu. I shall watch over you."
(Dhal's dialogue)
