*Encounter Critical* God City Sandbox

Rondo · November 12, 2008, 10:09:50 AM

Buck and Zarko are keeping their eyes peeled for any action that might be heading their way, "Wonder if I should just start something", Buck says looking for another fight to get him towards the end of this thing. "How's Creature holding up?", he asks Zarko...he also surveys some of our new crowd, taking stock of what sort of gang is on hand in case things heat up soon.

"Creature...ok...been..better..though"

(I haven't read every post, did we ever hear anything about Darryl? I should be back on track for checking in at least once a day on weekdays.)

(we've discovered literally NIL on the Daryl situation...I'm pretty concerned about that as well).

"Maybe we should, as I believe the young people say, split the scene?" I ask Quazarn.

On the other hand, we really don't have any reason to believe Daryl is in any trouble.

He wanted to fight, he fought. Then he got knocked out. Then they hauled him away, like they do with everyone.

My guess is, he's sitting up there with Mama, watching us and cringing every time we do something he disagrees with.

You may be right, Coffee, at least by all logical "game appearances".

Around dawn the goons are back. Under the whips of a team of drovers, they haul out a cart filled with tarnished robo-perc units, and roll empty kegs down the ramp. Bleary, bruised and grumpy fighter line up for coffee. No rolls are served.

[Dudes, sorry. Totally fell asleep on the couch after watching Wild Zero on the dvd last night.]

The Remulaki grunts through a morbid psychometric fog, "Where oh where will my little donkey go?" With a shudder he carefully stows the mini-mule and stands, ready to follow Hobson.

We leave.

I'll change back into police officer clothes, and hold Quazarn's arm in an 'arresting you' style, in case the robot is still out the front.

[The camera-droid, you mean? She's back at the ramp leading into the arena]

Hobson marches Quazarn out of the beer garden. The natterg of the baobabbler fades into the noise of the crowd. The hobling doesn't spot any Brawl uniforms yet, and no sign of Chief Tallbard either.

[Where to? The scene is something like a carnival midway, with concessions and souvenir as well as betting and viewing tents. The vendors' tents abut a low, sprawling manse; behind the house rise up the walls of the arena. The front lawn of the manse is an impromptu parking lot.]

Away! I look for an exit where we can leave without attracting attention.

wulfgar · November 13, 2008, 05:54:27 PM

About how many contestants are left in the brawl?

Quote from: Age of Fable;266116Away! I look for an exit where we can leave without attracting attention.

Pausing at a statue of a Vulkin scholar of old, Hobson hops onto the pedestal and susses his options. There's a fair amount of foot traffic to and from the parking lot. Beyond the beer garden stretches an overgrown hedge marking the boundary of the manse, continuing on beyond the manse and forming a sort of alley with the palisade like wall of the arena. Other than a few stoners swinging a censer amongst themselves there are hardly any people that way.

The guards in the towers on the arena are mostly faced inwards, watching the Brawl.

Age of Fable · November 13, 2008, 06:00:41 PM

Are there any taxis or public transport?

[Maybe a hundred? Most of them look to be tough hombres. Yours is probably the largest crew -- but judging by appearances not necessarily the baddest.]
