Shadowrun Adventure June 15, 1997

Mernons River

   Still in search of a rich-man's son named Boyd,
our intrepid FATGOP Shadowrun crew continues.
   At Colfee's bar, Otto decides to order a peach schnapps
and later questions the Ork bartender. Not much is learned
other than Boyd and odd friends had been there in the past.
   FATGOP sets off to cross the border froim Seattle into NAN,
to investigate this Mernons River, where Boyd was last to have
gone. Turns out there was a mass-suicide just the other day there.
Everyone dead. FATGOP crosses the border in small groups. Otto 
is asked why a german diplomat would be riding a motorcycle
and not riding in a limo. He replies he is on "holiday". (?)
   Halfway there, we stop at a teeny gas & convenience store.
Old man clerk confirms he's heard everyones dead in Mernons River.
Rabid and Panther buy food and stuff.
   Some hours later as we pull into Mernons River, its near dusk and
eerily quiet. At the convience store there, we replay the security
tape. Shows the clerk getting a phone call around 8pm a few nights
ago and just walking out of the store. FATGOP divides into two groups.
Grunt, Christian and Taylor take the left side of town. Bullock, Panther,
Otto and Rabid take the right side. Rabid assumes Coyote-form and pads
around town, sniffing. He senses sort of an oddness, wrongness and 
quietness in the surrounding nature. Grunt's group finds a house with
a light on. In the basement they find a scared-ish camera-guy. He shows
us video of what he found in the basement of town-hall today, tons of
bodies. Bullock's group finds lights on, but empty houses. We call them
over to see the video. Then we all go back and check the church they had
suspicions about. It had been ransacked somewhat, near altar and basement.
And if hadn't been earlier-that-day when "Chris" the video-guy came thru.
Grunt climbs the bell-tower. Few lights on in town. In the Pastor's
office, Rabid gets a real negative vibe, of the whole town.
   The group then heads to the Town-hall. more negative vibes. As we head
downstairs the smell hits us. Bullock fires a round and charges down the
stairs. Trips, falls. He is fighting no one. In the basement we check
some basement doors. One leads back up a differant staircase. We finally
get to all the dead bodies. Its all the people of the town. They were
all violently killed, with guns, knifes, etc. Doesnt look as if any of
them struggled tho. "Chris" the video-guy says two of the bodies are girls
not from this town. Everyone else checks against the towns database.
Boyd's body is not there. Back in the basement hallway, the magic folks
among us seach the town by "going astral". A vehicle is seen speeding away
from town, seems to be four orks. Its heading east, towards another small
town. FATGOP decides to give chase (tho Grunt doesnt really like the idea). 
So FATGOP gets into its vehicles and gives chase.... thru the night...

   and now, until next week, FATGOP fans,  we wait...
