The trucks limp into the familiar to some campsite, Angel Falls.
Pulling them to the rear of the gas station the mechanics rub their hands in glee - trucks to chop! more high priced work that could go on for weeks!
What the hell you got here? you boys been in a warzone? looks like HMG rounds here, some small arms fire, blast damage and heavy collision scrapes...
Well the guy seems to know his stuff - and is put right by the Ranger - the vans and bike go to pay for the.. hey aint that the van you described...? Jeeze, this place is hummin - were goin to need more support
Sure enough the third van is parked to the rear of the station.
Two city-humes exit the caf at the front of the gas station, and take an interest in the damage to the vehicles
Excuse me - but I couldnt help noticing the damage that yu hav sustained - were, erm were you here a week back, and would you have anything to add to the roumours that vampires were acting out of the Deepwoods area
The suits across the road nod to each other inside the two Americars pulled over just inside Angel Falls park entrance.
Three elves exit the Wardens office and scurry quickly towards the log cabin area.....
The first biker troll shows his fone to his moll sitting pillion - she taps his lid and thums up
And do have a nice day folks....

(OOC Angel Falls was an out of season beauty spot, log cabins, tent pitches and outdoor activities - until the wolf hunt, murders, roumours of paranormals, a gold shipment, the mines being cut-off and some sort of recent road bushwacking... have made third rate news items. But all in the same place?
There is mileage here for people who would like to just join in for a short while - I will give you each an outline of why you are there..unless you can supply that for me!
and also for those who have a yearning to dive aboard the bus to join in and help the current occupants, for a measily 500 a day. You too will need a rationale.. and you will need to get your stories correct. Who do you know? why are you willing to work for 500 a day if it is dangerous?
Never know - you may decide to change your minds. So please openly post your intros - any skullduggery welcomed - please PM me if you want to have a go at the bullion shipment. (oh thats why more hands are needed!)
Theres a big mix of peoples here, a hundred or so - thats a lot out in the wilderness at least half are orcs - lot of city-folk seem to have made it up here to rubberneck.. or do they know something that you dont?
should take a week or two to sort out the whys and the whos for everyone who has and does express an interest. In the meantime, why not explore the great outdoors? trip to the cabin where it all happened? moonshine anyone? hey did you spill my pint? real wolfmeat on a stick! trike hire why yes, only two fift.. er four hundred a day..
With a lot of people I may not be able to answer lots of PMs - so in advance, pologies. cheers)

Four-Eyes got off the bus, lighting a smoke the second he got out. He glanced around, the place was really hummin'; lots of people, much more than a week ago, people who's more skillful with a pen than with a gun..'good thing with the situation here..
"Vampires huh? Heh, yeah I know about it; he usually comes around here once a week with his entourage, you mighta heard of 'em; the Boogey Man and the Easter bunny hahaha!" He turned back to meet on with Lucille, how much ther repairs are gonna take time-wise and such, catching a glimpse of the 2 suits in the Americar, and the elven scums jogging back to the log cabins Great elves already, and I was having a good time, fraggards.. He kept turning around, making a 360, back facing the 2 humans
"Say guys, Since you seem to be here since a while, wouldn't you have caught a good look of the ones that came in the truck there huh?"

(OOC with 2 boxes of stun damage I need 2 hours of rest.)
On the drive to Fallen Angels Micro lays down in the back of the RV doing his best to rest for the trip. (unless I have to drive a vehicle)
Once at Fallen Angels Micro gets out of the RV's bed and streches his legs then proceeds to go out side. Seeing Four Eyes talking to the 2 Elves decides to not bother him. Then proceeds to walk around to find a stroe that sells smokes after he finds one he buys 3 packs of smokes (2 for himself and 1 for Four Eyes) and a Coffee to help shake the stun damage."Ya I did tell Four Eyes I'd pay him back for all the smokes he gave him." Micro thinks as he shells out his cash to the clerck.
Then asks the Clerck "So what kind of storys do you have in town." Hoping to find a Talismongler in the area "Too bad I'm not in Seatle I could just go to Shauns shop he usally gives me good deals unless I upset him recently" Micro thinks as he does his best to get the run down of what shops are in town.
(OOC I do have Knowledge skill Magic Shops it is mainly for the Seatle area and I'm not sure If you want to include this as in that area if you do I could roll 3 dice to see If I remember any in this area. Of course if I don't find out from the clerk or the skill I will be calling Shaun my contact to see If he knows of any in the area, but if I call him he will make me buy him lunch and a coffee for his trouble.)

Angel Falls has recently seen a big influx of people - it has become a kinda county fair no rides though - sellers catering to anyone who may need their skills and equipment.. theres probably a hundred or so people in sight, and a lot of tents, vans and trailers as well - so you could guess at two or three hundred here under canvas, eveyone looking to turn a few yen.
If you cant see it immediatly - you may have to go through some other people - there only permanent stores here are the gas station, sells LPG petrol and red alchahol (tastes vile) the gas station caffay - synthicaf and kibble-u-like maps and tourist trash Wardens lodge, an information centre, lots of local exhibits, wildlife and his own office ith a big radio arial Onsite store sells most camp supplies, stove gas, boots, blades, hiking equipment The Bar- a beer tent with a couple of cookers out back, churning out noxious vapours and collecting it in jugs. Toilet and shower block A variety of stalls that have sprung up as a 'Merchants Row' burgers and real meat kebabs, leather goods clothes jewelry a cobblers stand pistols and hunting rifles bike parts kites survivalist gear.... loads of interesting stalls, interesting prices too, you can probably find what you need here, not necessarily what you want.. anything special or exotic or expensive will require some sort of persuade, or an ettiquette, or a knowledge.. ordinary stuff you can just trawl for and find.
Theres also quite a lot of gear being sold quietly out of the back of vans.. you need to know a guy who knows them to even find out what they are selling!
Good place to improve your interraction skills !
Weather is good... rain (as usual) forcasted.
(Four-Eyes was merely observing the pointies from afar)
Anyone got a price on their heads? there are quite a lot of trids and smaller cameras around.

Quick gets off the bus grabbing his stuff and heads towards the cabins. Not being sure if this would be the best idea but after hearing a few too many people were lookin for him in the city an out of town vacation sounded good. Hearing there was a small job goin on were he could make some yen to cover expenses also made it seem just good timing. After getting off the bus though he notice a few familiar faces and started wondering if this would work after all, but too late now he was already here.

Micro Walks out of the Gas station and heads over to Four Eyes. "Hey Bud here is the pack I owe you" Then hands Four Eyes One of the packs he just bought. "I think it will be ok to head out into the fair but just not all at once. I need some supplies so If you don't mind I will be back soon."
Unless Four Eyes objects to Micro taking off for an hour or two Micro heads off in Search of a Magic shop. "First stop Wardens lodge for info on where a Magic Shop is located at this fair." Micro strolls over to the Wardens lodge in hope of getting the location of the shop so he doesn't have to spend too much time away from the bus.
(OOC Let me know when I find the magic shop, oh no price on my head too bad if it worth enouph I'd cut it off and get big cash.)

A large, bald-headed ork peers through the dust-caked windshield of his bulldog step van, watching as the bus pulls into the parking lot and a handful of ragged people step out. He stabs a fork into the last sliver of syrupy fruit in the can in his hand and slurps it down, shaking his head disdainfully.
"Shit," he grunts. He nudges the female elf beside him with his elbow and points to the spectacled human who just debarked. "Look who it is. It's goddamn F-E. Jesus, why'd he hafta show up here of all places?"
He sighs. "Well, I guess dere's no way out of dis. Might as well say 'howdy' to him." He clenches his metalic hand around the empty container of canned peaches and tosses the crumpled tin into the back of the van. Making sure that his black leather jacket properly conceals the pistol holstered at his shoulder, he places his fist on the doorhandle, looking back at his companion. "You can stay here if you like. I know you two ain't got along well in da past. I'll be back shortly." With that, he pops open the door and steps out onto the pavement.
His chest heaves, breathing in the marginally polluted air before he shoves his hands in his pockets and sets off across the parking lot. When he nears the human in question he stops, leveling his gaze at him. "Hoi, Four-Eyes. It's been a while, ain't it omae?"
As the human glances up, he is greeted by the sight of a massive ork. At 6'6", he is possessed of a thick neck, wide shoulders, and barrel chest. His square jaw is covered by a thin layer of stubble, and his sloping forehead bears several scars. He wears a battered leather jacket--most likely with some kind of balistic weave to it--a pair of blue jeans, and a set of dusty black boots. Though both the ork's hands are snug in the pockets of his jacket, Four Eyes knows from experience that the right one is pure chrome, as is most of the grizzled man's body.

Looks like Thunder has enough parts for his drone - should keep him out of mischief for a while.. and no the mechs at the garage wont lend, sell or give you any tools or workspace.. prices have recently shot up and they are cashing in onthe lack of fine mechanical advice available in the area.
A lot of Cascade orcs can make ordinary repairs to vehicles - as they tend to 'make do' with what they have, and patch it up as they go.. tricky stuff requiring a shopfull of equipment is expensive and therefore scarce. So when the opportunity arises, they make hay. (while the sun shines)
Thunder has all the parts - its just the time and inclination to assemble it all, shouldnt take long if it is all spread out and he isnt disturbed.. hah!
The big orc who has just stepped out of the van could well be here for the bare knuckles fights - he looks big enough to take out a troll or two - an theres a goodly few of them around too..
KRAK KRA KRAK..
over by the river - sounds like pistol fire.. a few people turn to stare towards the reports - most know that the quick-draw and target shooting and continue with their biz
Half a dozen big orc kids barrell through the area - playing some childish tag or something.. its nice to see that big kids around here get a chance to remain and play like a kid. Humes peer to try to catch a glimpse of something unsavoury - just fun though..
Quite a few - mostly humes taking snaps and dictating into minis (comps) gawky tourists waiting to see if anything will happen... hmmm
Micro bought an extra five paks - seeing the garage caff shelves looking sparse.. A lot of the orcs smoke blacker cheroots, probably what makes their throats so gravelly.
The news for the repairs.. Welll I dunno, couple a days maybe, some nasty dents in there, and we got to send out for new rims.. then theres the Ranger's chop jobs..
to which there is a certain amount of growlling discussion - and a miffed Lucille.
Lots to see guys - why not take the weight off ya brains - and stay out of too much trouble.. we'll need two guys on the bus ...ah well cant be helped - least we got beds for the night.

Once Micro finds a Magic shop he proceeds inside of the tent to do his best to find what he is looking for (A Rating 1 Conjuring Libray and 1 or 2 Rating 1 Elemental conjuring Material Pg 305 Main book).
As Micro walks into the tent he turns on his astral Preception knowing full well that there are a few "Magic Shops" in the world that try and sell you useless items expecially at events like this where it will be hard to find the guy after the item fails big time and you come looking for him to find the tent long gone. After Micros Astral Preception is up he takes a big deep breath to get the smell of all the incents and herbs that are housed in diffrent containers. "Oh there is nothing like the smell of a magic shop. Each one has it's very own smell " Micro thinks as somes smells bring back thoughts of his Buddy Shauns Store in Seatle.

There is a lot of gear around for sale here.. any low rating items can be found - with a little trouble and a hike in price her and there.. The place could remind you of a big car boot sale/weekend fete/ market day it is rough and ready - some are selling off a blanket, others from a van, inside of his coat may dangle with geegaws, over there is a couple of tables stacked with..
I'd like to say that it is a glorious extraveganza, but it is just a lot of people in one place, and a bit gritty at that. Over in the NAN countries, these turn out to be horse fairs, the Pointies probably do the Covent Garden Flower Show and nibble crumpets
Anyway, the orc talismonger looks you up and down - one table in front of his familysized tent carries an array of semi-precious jewelry in necklaces and earrings - a couple of opening boards carry silver and chromed regalia, inscence sticks cones and twisties are the ones to catc your eye.. the sticks look to be pure - most of the packs.. once Micro snaps a few up - for a 30% price hike You lookin for something specific .. need to put a deposit down on rare items - but I can get em for ya... spirits.. well natural or summoned, makes a big difference, summoned you say, these should do the trick.. ans reaches for a pack of cards.. Pokemon Blue deck .. burn em, use the ash in water, an paint out your symbols.. symbols are important - got a microcomp - I can download a set of preliminaries with ease..
Now, anything more I can point you towards, I know a lt of connected folk.... names Russell nice doin biz with a knowledgable geeza..
All the gear checks out, purified and recognisable - youve seen very similar in your studies... should do the trick..

"Thanks for your help Russell, If you know of any places that have vehicle and drone parts and supplys that would help out alot, Also any merchents you think a guy like me should check out I'd love to hear about them too." Micro says to him hoping to find some of the more hidden places in the area that most will not find, even though after looking at his watch he's decided to head back to the bus as not to take up too much of everyones break at the fair.
Charisma Roll If needed 4dice [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] rolls 1,4,1,5
Micro makes sure he has the stuff he came for a Rating 1 elemental conjuring library (a electronic chip or disk will do fine he saw thunder had a computer in his RV) and one Rating 1 earth elemental conjuring material and one Rating 1 fire elemental conjuring material.
After Mirco gets the stuff he checks out the price normaly 3k but now 3900Y "Man prices always shot up at these sort of placeses, Oh well I want to get elememental back up on the spur of the moment I pay through my teeth." Micro thinks as he rifles through his cash 3000Y from the mine job and now 900 from the money he just got from those crazy triad crew leaving me with 100Y (minus 3 packs of smokes, a coffee and 2 Y if I have to pay for the circle drawing chalk. Micro does his best to get him to throw it in since he shelled out an extra 900Y for the stuff.)
"I guess I'm not buying lunch for everyone, I'll be lucky if I get a good meal in me." Micro thinks as he takes what he got and heads back to the bus with a bit of haste knowing others will want to get out and about. "Now I just need 2 hours to summon one of these elementals. I don't want to be doing that out in frount of everyone who knows what small kid will coem around and kick me in mid summons."
Once back at the bus Micro heads over to Four Eyes and tells he that he is planing to get 2 Force level 1 elementals to help back them up so after everyone has got out and seen the fair he would like 2 hours or 4 if the time promits to summon 1 or both of the elementals. After which he will head into the RV and place his stuff he just bought inside at the same time telling thunder what they are and what he plans on doing.
(OOC it takes Force Hours to draw the circle and then Force Hours to summon the Elemental 2hr total force 1 each , Plan is keep this Library with the group and my main one in Seatle.)[rand=0508110758720428124179374648889562046132406581151925794975219134193]
