Re: Nechronica
"We've had to think carefully about how quickly we trust others. We've narrowly missed being led into serious traps. A seemingly hospitable host turned out to have kidnapped and seriously tortured a member of our party, altering her body beyond recognition. So however nice your attitude, people have to see a consistent record of your behavior to make any informed decision.
Earlier we crossed paths with a bunch of demented flying things. Deformed "crow" girls that demanded a toll for us crossing a key bridge. We shot one, then sent it back to its fellows before driving through."

Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:
The conversation dies down just as the truck speeds up. It's a bit of a jerky ride, but Eigla seems to have gotten the hang of it.
For a long time, you travel along the road in silence, as the sun rises then begins to fall. The afternoon brings a rather dreary downpour, and the dirty waters below begin to splash onto the highway, foam lapping at the vehicle's sides. The added drag makes the engine struggle a bit, and the current causes steering to be quite a chore.
Eigla feels a bit tired from driving, but she's not exhausted yet. You could try and ford the waters, or stop for the night and see if the weather improves until tomorrow.
