Using Captain Rothers, Elana managed to get Inquisitor Jex on the vox, at which point Lazerus gave him the Astropath’s answer, completing his task. [20:16] <@BradGM> Talking to Bradon the Squat, he learned that 2 of Skane’s acolytes requisitionned good quality armour, and that they were acting as escorts for their Lord, as she had to visit the Lord-Marshall at the Arbites Fortress. While the Sister and the Arbitrator were requisitionning a vehicle, Mira and Grendel were ambushed by Scavvies, feral humans who live off human flesh but managed to came on top. [20:16] <@BradGM> Despite Grendel’s helmet being melted off by the brutal spit of a braineater, an underhive creature that Bowels warned them about, they’re arriving at Toxic Falls. [20:16] <@BradGM> They must now locate the Spark Faced Mutant. Lazerus, seeing that no one required or asked for his assistance, began cooking a nice meal for Mockingbird for when they return.+++ [20:16] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:18] * Chymos (~Chymos@184.6.49.11) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:18] * +Mira_Atella continues to follow the tech priest and Bowels, glad she decided that a pot on the head was a good idea to follow.
