Scorched Road” I should be able to help. Since your signals get jammed in the south, I will go there and stop the burning, then deal with the hunter, then go to the castle. Goodbye for now, and thank you.” Head south and search for the plant burning source and for whatever is jamming signals
[Sandra rolled 3+1+2wits=6]
Sandra heads off south to see what the problem could be. She walks until she begins smells smoke. The woods open up onto a street which has been cleared. There's a high road leading south to where the trees and buildings drop away entirely: clearly a river. There is scorched earth on either side of the road: someone has been setting fires here, keeping the road clear from the omipresent overgrowth.
As Sandra looks around on the roadside, she hears the sound of a vehicle coming from the south.Sandra gains +1 tally for critical failure.

Boundary Road“Alright everyone, brace again.”
Sonic boom, directed behind us (which, given we’re on a bridge, also means at the cyberdogs).
[Amoretto rolled 4+1+2weird=7]
[Amoretto lets forth another huge sonic boom. The dogs scatter and the bike hurtles forward. Frog and Finn cycle like mad for two miles through twisting city streets clogged with abandoned cars. The cityscape runs together as the group in the cart furtively scour every passing street for signs of the cyberbeasts. Eventually they stop at a huge twisting junction of wide roads mostly unmolested by the greenery.
While Frog and Finn catch their breath, Cass turns to the others: to Amoretto, Kateryna, Keiko and Agasha.
"You saved our skin back there... but... what the hell are you people?"
Keiko, Kateryna, Amoretto gain +1 tally for exploration.
ArenaGetting the wind knocked out of you is all in a days work for a wrestler. Take a few deep breaths to calm the muscle spasm, because it is hard to taunt your enemy if you can't breath.
Examine the transparent plastic pack of white powder and see what it is, then eat some of the food that was left by the robots.

[Goldstine rolled 6+5+2wits=13]
El Tigre takes a moment to catch his breath. The Tentacoiler rumbles closer, whipping one of its tentacles at the luchador. He takes a quick side-step, the metal appendage whistling past him. El Tigre is back in the fight, but the Tentacoiler is almost upon him!
Meanwhile, Dr Goldstine takes a seat in the stands and chows on the huge pile of fruit and nuts. He carefully opens up the huge packet and dabs the tiniest bit on the end of his tongue. The taste is bitter and reminds him of powdered caffeine.El Tigre is no longer winded.
Flooded SchoolTry to gather up some material to bandage my wound with. Maybe some padding or something. That razortail is probably a useful cutting tool.
[Sandeep rolled 5+6+2wits-1wound+1architect=13]
Sandeep leaves the playground for the building and takes a wander around the halls of the old school. Projects of cardboard and paint are still stuck to the walls, everything covered in a layer of mould. The lower levels of the school are sinking into the river, but upstairs things are more or less intact. There's signs of looting and occupancy: the trophy cabinet is smashed and all contents gone; in one room tables and chairs had been gathered into a pile for a fire, the metal braces and legs submerged in a pile of ashes.
Sandeep uses his sense of how buildings fit together to work out that one of the walls is much thicker than it should be. Looking closer in one of the gutted classrooms, he notices a wooden panel is actually a slide-out door. Despite the pain of his cut arm, he opens it to find a small cupboard with a medical kit (containing some out-of-date anti-histamines, a bottle of iodine, a bandage roll, and 5 plasters). There's also a drawer full of confiscated goods: a handheld console whose batteries have leaked and destroyed the back of it, a ball made up of rubber bands, and three opalescent marbles.
Gated CommunityStepping in front of Kam, Issac speaks. "Hold up. Security around here seems to be taken rather seriously for a place willing to welcome perfect strangers. That barbed wire could only be used to keep people out, not wild beasts. What's up with all this?"
Well, I hadn't much heard of your community before fatedly running into it here, but ascention doesn't sound half bad, now does it. I'd be open to hearing what you're all about.
[Isaac rolls 1+3+3wits=7]
The voice on the speaker continues as Isaac expressed his hesitance. He looks at the security arrangements. The high heavy metal fence probably could keep out the likes of the cyberdogs he saw in Walt Labs, though the wire on top would probably do little. Whether its to keep people in or out is unclear, but as he's scanning the scene, he notices fresh tyre tracks in the mud by the gate. Evidently someone does come and go here...
The intercom continues. "This is a peaceful community of The Church of the New Millenium. We take our place on Earth, bodily resurrected, free of hunger and privations."
The gate begins to swing open but there's no one around.
"Come inside, friends, and see what the Kingdom has to offer."
