"I heard you need some cash. I've got a job for you that'll pay well, but it's risky... I'm not sure you're up to the task."

"They've already given me the gas, what's the point in paying them?"

[Sheb]

"Well, they sure seems like they'll go to great length to get their money back. I wonder how far you'd make it alive if they learn you don't plan on honoring your debts..."

At this point, have a single moment of doubt before realizing with relief that your crossbow is loaded and ready to shoot.

"Look, my money is probably in my car, I must have just left it there"

Also, I don't think locals would take kindly to people who just pull crossbows on random people and shoot. Plus, I'm sure if those scavengers want their money back, they'd come out and defend whoever was attacking their 300 gold sheets. With guns because they're scavengers.

[Sheb]

(Not planning to shoot, just making sure we have the option)

Count me skeptical. You don't strike me as the type that let hundreds of gold sheets unguarded. Anyway, what is that woodland you talked of?

Well, it's an option, just one that will get you shot in the face.
Anyway
"Woodland is just a few hundred miles north of here, believe me, it's far better up there than it is here in Wasteland, I live even further beyond there, in Grassland" "Anyway, money probably isn't in the car, it more than likely got stolen when I got ambushed by fucking Outsiders. They stole most of what I had during the sandstorm, my guns, my bolts, and probably most of my sheets. They almost got the car until they ran back to god knows where."

[kj1225]

Shrug and offer her some bolts if and protection if we are allowed to hitch a ride to the woodlands.

[Ddynamo]

"I have some bolts"
She takes them
"I just hope we won't need them"
There is a scorch mark on the road below you
"Fucking mages, they have the damn easy life just because they're ancestors bio-engineered themselves. I heard one mage can conjure food and water from thin air with the snap of a finger. Lucky son of a bitch. Just watch where you walk, some of them have invisibility magic, could be anywhere."

[kj1225]

That's really weird and probably impossible. He probably can teleport items to himself otherwise that magic would be really complicated.

[Ddynamo]

"It's just a rumor, and even if it isn't true, I still don't like them"

"The car's just over this dune"

[kj1225]

Follow her over the dune. Ready the crossbow just in case.

[Ddynamo]

"It's safe, come on"
You go over the dune
"Everything is how I left it, nothing has been tampered with, and, as I thought, no sheets"
"Get in"

[Sheb]

... your skull. Like that bolt.

Shoot her in the back, grab her gear, grab her car, refuel car, go toward Woodland.

[kj1225]

Get in the car like someone who doesn't want to be killed.

[Ddynamo]

Get in the car like someone who doesn't want to be killed.

"Alright, so, it still works"
The car starts moving
"Look in the distance, another sandstorm is brewing. It won't be long before it catches up to us." "We just need to get over the Black Mountains to get into Woodlands, the Wasteland scavengers can't find us there, information doesn't travel easily over them"

[Sheb]

"If information doesn't travel easily, we're going to have trouble on the way too, right?"
