Episode 19: Licking Wounds[]
Hiding in Scrap Town[]
Rough after his healing yesterday Rook wakes up in the Scrap Town Hospital to June wishing him a good morning. Asking if anyone has come looking for him he offers credits in exchange for keeping his precese there a secret with some exceptions. One being if a certain mute girl wearing a disguise comes asking for him, clearly he means Faye. Carrying a loaded shotgun, an SMG and two revolvers Rook looks like hes packing some serious heat but its all for show as he is running low on ammunition. Scrap Town councilman Sean is let inside and in exchange for spilling his own blood for the town Rook asks for information and ammunition. Sean agrees and sends after the local gunsmith.
Alone by himself an earthquake hits suddenly with the buildings peaces of metal falling to the ground around him. The sound of a large jet engine also booms, the noise is heard across town coming from the direction of the volcano.
A kid allowed to visits, enters the hospital and is asked if he wishes to make a quick buck. Shiloh is sent to the row to find another pureblood orc (Charles Rask) alog with a message in orcish. The gunsmith Sten approaches Rook carefully as he faces the barrell of a gun aimed at him. Eventually putting down the piece Rook offers to double the usual payment for resupplying all his carried guns ammunition. The gunsmith asks him about his trip the other day and while Rook doesnt divulge any information the gunsmith tells him that he's seen him with Charles before, and as long as he's a friend of Charles, he's good in his book.
Gathering an expedition
Wit visits the hospital thanking Rook for yesterday. Asking how Sheila was doing, Wit said that she was strangely well for being shot so many times, all attributed thanks to her magic. To repay and return his debt he offered to find her for him. Finding him quickly she heal him as hes hurting everywhere. Feeling the heat and paranoida wash over him he gets Sheila to lead him away from a backdoor of the hospital and onto the rooftops and starts to gather a group to investigate the source of the blast. Deciding to trusts in the "redscales" Sheila, he gave her a code phrase "rebel yell", to send a massage for him to Faye and to try and keep her safe. Getting as much ammunition as the smith could muster in the short amount of time rook tosses his delivery into the back of the truck and heads out.
Expedition to investigate the Volcano[]
Sheila and Sir Polka riding "Crabby"
Teaming up with another orc named Ront, she offers to drive. The group consists of Wit, Charles Cutting, an ogre with two heads a synthetic and a confused person. This with Sheila and Sir Polka riding her scorpion from behind.
One of the heads of the ogre suggests a game of "I see" and starts with - "I see something with the color yellow" - Wit guesses "sand", winning and returns with "something green and thorny" and guesses cactus. Meaning Charles, he hits the right spot indeed. Reaching their destination they wait for Charles Rask to arrive. Heading for the volcano they take the path through bramble canyon. Sheilas giant scorpion friend cutting through vines to enter, they are attacked by smaller sand fleas and make short work of them. Ront leading the way, knows the path until they reach a sign that reads "cave in" while fighting off more crabs.
Sheila mediates with the local creatures
Charles Rask eventually catches up to them to orcish cheers. Rook hands Polka two of his revolvers when Sheilas giant scorpion friend comes to face off against another of its own kind. Trying to mediate Shiela attempts to apologize for destroying their young and broker some kind of peace and safe passage. After a tense moment she actually manages to convince them to be docile and escort them forward, leading to a corporate digsite. Its the same spot where the mars team went before, with a large excavataor. Opening the console on the machine, Rook finds a map from the digger telling of an entire cavern system of creatures beneath them.
While troubling news Rook leads them onward, moving to "Titans" factory next. On their way Rook exchange jokes with the group. When they arrive there is a huge sinkhole where the entrance was and asked in case anyone got a terra scanner he gets some weird readouts. The whole place is gone. Spotting a stranger in the distance Rook calls everyone together calling out a potential sniper. Telling everyone to approach stealthily Rook and Charles start sneaking up on the individual. Flanking the strangers location by climbing on the terrain Rook gets the drop on him, pulling his gun on him from behind. Accusing the stranger of being a corp he just laughs at the assumption.
Aresh the hunter
He explains that the fires get angrier by the day and speaks of an invitation like civilized people. The stranger introduces himself as Aresh - a hunter of the winds - one of the many spirits - a windworshipper. After that he is told to put his hands down. A potential ally Rook remarks that the mountain being upset makes sense but not the corporations involvement. Ront has a theory but would rather discuss it back in town and they start to head back.[1]
