To Utopia, Hell...

"No, thank you for taking time from your job."

Leets shook the man's hand in thanks and headed towards the business area to resupply.

[Dracos]

"And what'd you find, clever girl?" The old man asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"A map, for one thing," replies Mei-Ling, thinking. "And, oh, this and that. But.. no wonder this place is so prosperous," she muses, aloud. "I wonder what the other cities on the map are like?"

[Olvelsper]

"There's no other towns. Just these three ones." Jan casually responded.

[Carthrat]

"My map disagrees," replies Mei-Ling, fishing it out. "If it's wrong, I'll be sure to correct it."

[Olvelsper]

"It might be right for all we know. But there's something that map doesn't have charted out. A giant wall of mist that keeps this section of the Wasteland sealed away for all we know." Jan frowned in a connection made itself in his mind's eye. "Probably because of that Tower?"

[Carthrat]

"No, that's not true," replies Mei-Ling, showing Jan the map. "See, they've marked an estimated misty portion, but there's plenty left open."

[Olvelsper]

"It's just an estimated area beyond that veil of mist. We definately know about the mountain range that runs along the barrier, but beyond that we just don't know enough."

[Carthrat]

Mei-Ling muses over this.

"What happens if you try to cross the mist?"

[Olvelsper]

"No one's tried it that I've heard of. This city's high end equipment allows them to map it out, but we don't know what could be in that thick mist. Demons and vicious mutants and who knows what else are lurking in there."

[Carthrat]

"And nobody really knows what causes the mist," finishes Mei-Ling, thinking. "I see... there must be some way to cross it, if not raise it. I wonder.."

She gives a small shrug. "It bears thinking on. Hmm. What were your plans for now?"

[Olvelsper]

"We'll figure it out over lunch. I'm hungry. Let's go to a bar and grill or something." Jan led the group off for lunch stuff.

[Dracos]

"Lunch sounds excellent.  You know, I know a good tale of a lunch." The old man yammered a bit as they walked, arriving at a semi fancy fajita joint.

Darx gasps in shock as the wolf heals up, but quickly heads back into the heat of battle, swinging away at the ones attacking Ryda.

"There's a side benefit to travelling all over the world," announces Mei-Ling. "You get to taste a million different kinds of food."
