Kansas City

Before the Great War, Kansas City was a major nuclear launch site. After the city was hit by the bombs, the silo staff survived, but was turned into ghouls, who formed a town called Gravestone in the ruins of the city.

The ghouls formed a cult worshipping the only nuclear bomb left intact in the silo, which they called "Plutonius". The ghoul in charge of both the town and the ghouls' weird religion was called the Bishop and his name was Defcon, the second, son of T-Minus.

Around 2198, Gammorin's super mutant army established a base in another area of Kansas, and tried to assault Gravestone in order to get the atom bomb worshipped by the ghouls. The ghouls were eventually aided by the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, who killed most of the attacking mutants.

In exchange for their aid, the BoS demanded the ghouls to give them "Plutonius", which was later used to defeat the Calculator.

Mission walkthrough
This mission is one highlight of the game. Some seconds after you arrive the ghoul town will be ambushed from three direction, but before this happen you should talk with the Bishop three times to get some antiradiation stuff. After that, or possibly under the time you should position your squad around.

You will have three objectives for this mission: first you shall save the town with less than five ghoul causalities. Second you will have to assassinate three supermutant commander. And in the end you will have to kill all the remaining supermutants in the area.

To defend the cathedral you most likely want at least 5 partymember. A good shooter should go north possibly with some granades to throw. Two small-gunner - one with perfect small guns skill and one with a good bursting weapon - should go to the south. The sniper should concentrate on the heavily armoured mutants, who are carrying more than just a pipe. The rest of your crew must go to the eastern gate. A well rounded shooter with the Caws and someone with big guns skill and rocket launcher are perfect solution. The mutants appears from nowhere, and at the south gate they come in waves.

The later part of this mission requires sneaking - did I mentioned it is strongly advised coming here at nighttime? - with the Caws in the hand, peeking on the enemy what amunition shall we load in (depends on armour), than sneaking tent to tent in the mutant camp. But beware: do not touch the bull horns: this time you do not break them instead activate.
