Gated CommunityIssac decides to sit down and read one of the old bibles. Issac was never really the churchy type, but he did recall it being possible to express pretty much any viewpoint by selectively choosing verses in the bible back in the old day. This was information that Issac could potentially be useful if he were to spend an extended amount of time in this place.
[Isaac rolled 5+5+3=13]
Isaac sits back in the chair and flicks through the bible. He finds several choice lines and sets them to memory, knowing they'll be useful when he needs to speak from a firmer theological standpoint.Isaac learns biblical quotes.
when a person enters, tell them “I don’t understand why you are burning trees. From what I’ve seen of who you call the Eyes of Gaia, they just want to live in and protect what remains of the forest. The reason I attacked the man in a flamethrower vehicle is because I thought he was going to kill me. He seemed to think I am possessed, when in reality I just want to help them unfamiliar the signal and stop the burning. I don’t know what you want from me. Where did you take me? Who are you? Why are you burning places and blocking the inhabitants from their land?”
[Sandra rolls 2+1+1empathy+1teacher-1church=4]
Two men, the one with dark glasses, and a new man, old with a dog collar, come into the room. Sandra tries to explain her position as clearly as she's able, but the men ignore her.
"She attacked my tractor," says the first man. "She was sounding off about how great the Eyes are."
"She's babbling... delirious," says the priest. "They must have taken an innocent woman and corrupted her with their foul doctrine."
"I think they may have found a way to literally possess her," says the first man.
The priest frowns. "Hmm. I should contact the Bishop about this. Let's let her sweat it out. If her senses return to her, then we can help her ascend like any other."
The two men leave the room. Sandra is alone with her memories once again.Sandra gains +1 tally for critical failure.
Boundary RoadHe then gets on the proffered bike and begins pedaling when it comes time to do so.
[Amoretto rolls 5+2+0body=7]
Amoretto pedals hard, following the lead north along the old Cromer Road. It's an old highway, raised from the surrounding countryside. Old fields are slowly turning into woodland on either side of the road, but the heavy tarmac and concrete sidings has kept the road remarkably clear. It's tough going, but Amoretto manages to keep pace with Cass and soon gets into the rhythm of it.
After about a mile of riding they come to a spot where an articulated lorry has jackknifed across the road.
"Oh! I know where we are. There's a shortcut..." says Cass. She steers the bike cart right, across a gap in the mid-barrier and through a tear in a fence on the road side. A few moments later they find themselves on a huge airport runway. A vast empty stretch of cracked, barren land. In this corner of the runway there are dozens of ancient planes sitting on deflated wheels, slowly degrading.Amoretto gains +1 tally for exploration.
Arena"¡Aiya! Señorita, not so tight. My name is El Tigre. This group, Terraterror offered me medicine and food if I fought for their entertainment. Do you recognize these robots surrounding us? Perhaps we should try to get away from these drones so we can talk, it sounds like I was able to fix...something inside of this robot that allowed you to have control again."
[El Tigre rolled 5+2+1empathy+1damagedtentacoil-2eyesofgaia=7]
The tentacoiler drops El Tigre, who lands some feet down on the ashen ground.
"You do seem to have fixed their hold on my morph," Helen whispers. "These drones are TT property. We run into them from time to time, they often film our fights. This is the first time I've heard of them catching one of us. I would speak with you more..."
"IN A SURPRISE TWIST, EL TIGRE PICANTE AND THE TENTACOILER HAVE TEAMED UP FOR THE SECOND BOUT..." the drones blare at once. From the blimp, another huge crate is lowered down, this one twice the size.
"WEIGHING TWO METRIC TON OF PURE MUSCLE AND STEEL, A MONSTER OF THE NORTHERN WASTES, IT'S RIPALBION39, FROM THE SNACKYBOIS GUILD!"
The crate bursts open and out steps a twelve foot high furred giant, looking for all the world like a silver yeti, its flesh riven and twisted with thousands of glowing wires.
"The Spicy Tiger? More like the Mild Pussy Cat!" RIPAlbion39 smack talks. "I can't wait to pick bits of you from my teeth!"
"Ugh. These guys are the worst," Helen whispers. "Let's ruin his day."El Tigre gains +1 rep with the Eyes of Gaia (now -1).
El Tigre is no longer bound.
Cow TowerTry to find a way into the tower.
[Sandeep rolled 3+4+2wits+1architect=10]
The doorway to the tower is heavily rusted- one small kick and it falls in. Sandeep wanders through and the centre is opened to the elements. It's tricky to figure a way up, as there are many stairwells, some of which are blocked off, others poorly maintained, but eventually Sandeep figures a way up to the top. From so high up, he can see the cathedral tower,to the southeast, and south beyond that he can see a castle. On the top of the castle he can see the glint of solar panels. Across the river to the north he can see a vast landscape of ramps and rails: an enormous skate park. To the northeast across the river, the high heath, now mostly wooded over, he sees a herd of deer grazing in a clearing. South of the heath, there's a hill covered in hulking gas holder towers, their empty cylindrical frames lined with birds.
From up here, he can see the blimp is emblazoned with the words TERRATERROR. There are tiny dots (birds? balloons?) swarming around the blimp. A huge box emerges from the bottom of the blimp and is lowered out of sight below.
