"I feeling like we have another job to finish..."
Giving a sigh and sitting back, Sylvia looked around the workshop. "So, what all do you work with here?"
Kinna produces the letter for Dinvaya. "They had a letter for you, Dinvaya." She offers the letter to the woman.
"Are we going to have to fight those rats whenever we go out to that old ship?" Pharysene asked out loud.
"I wouldn't try to go back they will be swarming the thing by now it is in their territory after all and you already got most of the good stuff I would say says Dinvaya
Kinna produces the letter for Dinvaya. "They had a letter for you, Dinvaya." She offers the letter to the woman.
"Oh? let me see." she grabs the letter and reads it.
"Hmm so the technic league have lost interest in me and my friend believes it would be safe for me to return to Torch. Unfortunately I rather like it here I wont be returning just yet but I if your heading back to Torch I would like to give you a letter a reply once I have written it. In any case you lot don't seem like typical salvagers what brings you to scrapwall? I get the feeling it was more than just delivering a letter"
"let's just say we have a few jobs we're doing...."
"I will be happy to carry your letter, Dinvaya." She turns to look at Valeria. "Jobs? From Torch? What sort of jobs? I would be glad to assist you."
"Thanks, That would be helpful since we have to look for items to solve a few problems with one of the jobs."
"So, what is going on in Torch?" Sylvia asked. "My companion and I had heard rumors of something going on, but didn't have a chance to get there before you all found us."
"What kind of items do you need to search for? And would this be a paying job? Pharysene asked innocently, trying to hide her interest.
@Xaikon the suit modification will be done and only cost like 100 gold but will take a day.
"Well whatever it is that brought you here I am guessing it has something to do with the lords of rust and the new church of Hellion. Up until recently they were siphoning an enormous amount of power from somewhere when the link was suddenly cut. I had a theory that the power was coming from the facility under torch..."
Kinna looks at her curiously. "How is the power getting from Torch to here?"
"Was, it stopped a few days ago. It was being beamed using a power transmitter to the temple of Hellion and while I cant know the source for certain it was coming from the direction of Torch. I managed to intercept and steal a bit for myself too" she says with a grin.
Kinna nods. "Interesting. Assuming it was being beamed directly from the source, we should be able to track it down by walking in a straight line down the path of travel."
She turns to the group from Torch. "Do we need to complete your tasks here before journeying back toward Torch in the the direction of the energy source?"
Xaikon hands over the money to have the suit modified, Here you go for altering the suit.. She stands with outstretched wings and arms so Dinvaya can take measurements.
Well we need to wait a day for the suit to be altered before we can leave Scrapwall.
"Stolen power? Temple?" Sylvia asked in confusion.
Kinna nods at Xaikon. "So which of your other errands can we dispense with in a day?"
Jayla is polishing her daggers, listening to the others.
still need to retrieve the andoffran girl or get suits that can withstand high level radiation
Also make sure the lord of rust don't come back after torch.
"What was that one about retrieving an Androffan girl? Were you to rescue a captive?" Asked Pharysene curiously.
Kinna nodded. "And the suit- do you have any clues about which salvagers took it?"
Lately the has been a growing movement in this area. A group called the Lords of rust who claim to follow the will of a god called Helion have all but completely taken over scrapwall. Nearly every gang here is under their thumb.
Well we got a day to spend investigating, seeing my suit will take a day to be modified.
"Helion has more than one group of followers. Did this woman have a name or any distinctive characteristics?"
The woman that asked you to kill the manticore was Sevroth Slaid. She leads the steel hawks one of the few bands not allied with the lords of rust.
The woman leading the band that took the suits and the girl, she was an android she was a priestess of hellion working for the lord of rust.
"Let's rescue the girl from those gangsters!" Said Pharysene, grateful for the distraction.
Well she is one of our original missions. We should finish what we started.
Kinna nods at Pharysene. "I can take you to their base. I would not advise a frontal assault, but we can assess the situation once we get there."
"Agreed, and eliminate any hostiles that would give us away, if needed."
You go out to the outskirts of the main base of the lords of rust and try to scout it out. (there are several lords of rust each with their own base but this is the one were the android priestess operated out of)
The ridge of refuse and junk is sheer here, like the face of a cliff. A gray metal wall sits at the base of the cliff, with a sizable metallic deck protruding south from its surface. This open-air deck is sheltered by a ragged awning of furs and scrap. Metallic double doors sit in the center of the metal wall, and above these doors protrudes a metallic armature of some sort with what appears to be a tube-shaped device fitted with a red crystal extending from the tip. A few scorch marks mar the deck’s surface here and there between the edge of the platform and the doors. You do not see any guards outside.
Kinna frowns at the device on the armature. "That is a laser turret. A dangerous weapon. We need to be careful if we decide to approach."
Guess flying onto the deck could result in me being attacked by that metal thing, as she eyes the wall of steel for better approach to enter the structure.
"Excuse me miss Xaikon, but what if there was a cloud of mist blocking their view?" Inquired Pharysene tentatively.
Xaikon notices some windows higher up in the structure.
Looking at the entire structure shape, spotting windows higher up, she speaks of her idea, Well i can take to flight, gaining height over there somewhere, then glide over the structure to land on top of it. See what is up there too, but make my way to the windows to take a peek inside, seeing I can hover easily.
"Folks might not like you looking though their windows.."
"That isn't of importance. If she can find things out that way, let her. We'll deal with anything that comes as we go."
The roof of the structure is a large satellite dish. Xaikon can see activity in the windows here and there but is eventually spotted and guards fire on her using rifles and she is forced to retreat.
