Careful; they say the games are rigged. --- This place gives me the creeps. --- What the hell happened here? --- This is gonna be a tough nut to crack. --- This is the Weapon Shop. It's run by Beth. She's good for guns, but better for gossip. --- This is the Crimson Caravan. I did some work for them. They do a lot of high-risk jobs. --- Far Go Traders, run by Butch Harris. He's ot-nay oo-tay ight-bray, if you catch my meaning. --- Ah, now the Maltese Falcon is the place to be. Good music, good drinks, and good company. --- Jake's weapons. High prices, but really good guns. --- Office of the Water Merchants. They're the big movers and shakers of the Hub, since they supply the water that keeps everything going. --- Heard about some of these places before, but never been in one. Seems nice and clean . . . a little too clean for my taste. critter_p_proc->map_commentary get_reaction talk_p_proc->get_reaction Ian14 I may not be a very good fighter any more, but I'm good enough to best the likes of you! talk_p_proc->Ian14 Ian02 Hello, stranger.

Ian02->Ian03 My name's not important. Ian05 Sorry, but I don't have time to waste on morons. Ian02->Ian05 Urgh? Ian13 The Hub is a big trading center far south of Shady Sands. It's run by several different caravan groups of merchants: the Water Merchants, the Crimson Caravan, and the Far Go Traders. Junktown is a little south and a ways west. It's smaller, but still a good place to drop in for a drink. It's overseen by a fellow by the name of Killian Darkwater, the local shopkeeper, sheriff, and mayor. Ian15->Ian13 Can you give me directions to the Hub and Junktown? IanEnd Ian15->IanEnd Hmm. Nothing. Never mind, Ian. Ian16 Well, since you ask, all right. See you around. Ian15->Ian16 You can leave now. IanChange Sure thing. Ian15->IanChange Draw your best weapon next time we go into battle. IanTactics All right, I'll help you out in exchange for my share of loot. Ian15->IanTactics How about a piece of the action, instead? Ian20 I'm a good shot with just about any sort of pistol, and I can use a submachine gun, too. I also know how to handle a knife. Ian15->Ian20 What weapons are you skilled with? join_party Let's go. It'll be good to get back into action! Ian21->join_party Um, yeah. I think we should stick together, after all. Ian21->IanEnd Uh, no. Thanks. Ian12a Ian12->Ian12a hire_Ian hire_Ian->join_party Ian01 We don't like your kind in these parts. Ian04 Good to meet you. I'm Ian. Ian06 I was a guard for the merchants of the Hub. However, I was shot during a raid by bandits. I've been staying here, since the people have helped me recover. Still, my knowledge of the outside world and my experience make me useful here. Shady Sands is my home now. Occasionally, I even get to visit Junktown or the Hub to do some trading, since I'm the only person here who has ever really left town. Ian04->Ian06 What do you do here? Ian07 Shady Sands is a small but self-sufficient community. The only trouble here is with the bandits and the Radscorpions. Ian04->Ian07 I'd like to know more about this place. Can you help? Ian18 Thanks. It's been healing up well, thanks to Razlo. Ian06->Ian18 I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Ian06->Ian13 Where's this Hub, and Junktown? Ian17 Hmm. Tempting offer, since this place gets boring. Tell ya what. Standard rates. 100 caps, and you've got a deal. --- No thanks. I'm needed here. Ian06->Ian17 Could you help me out a bit? Your experience would be useful. Ian08 There are several. They come from various groups. They steal our food and occasionally shoot a few people. Seth organized the guards to help fight them off. Ian06->Ian08 Can you tell me about the bandits? Ian07->Ian08 Are there many bandits? Ian09 Radscorpions are very dangerous. They have a poisonous stinger in the tail, and they are very quick. Aradesh has been trying to find a way to get rid of them. If you feel brave, you could talk to Aradesh about them. Ian07->Ian09 Why are the Radscorpions trouble? UpReact Ian18->UpReact Ian19 What can I help you with? Ian18->Ian19 Urgh? Ian13->Ian15 Thanks. Ian13->Ian12 Thanks. Ian17->join_party Ian17->hire_Ian Deal. Ian17->IanEnd No thanks. Ian17a All right, I'll help you out in exchange for my share of loot. --- No, I don't think so. Come back when you have some caps. Ian17->Ian17a How about a piece of the action, instead? Ian10 Seth is a very brave fighter. He occasionally goes to the Radscorpion caves to kill a few Radscorpions, but they always wind up coming back. There are just too many for him to fight. Ian08->Ian10 Can you tell me about Seth? Ian11 There are three groups: the Khans, the Vipers, and the Jackals. They pretty much hate each other, but they all raid Shady Sands. Ian08->Ian11 There are different groups? Who are they all? Ian09->IanEnd I'm Ian10->Ian09 Are the Radscorpions really that dangerous? Ian10->IanEnd We don't like your kind in these parts. Ian11->Ian07 Tell me more about Shady Sands. Ian11->IanEnd We don't like your kind in these parts. Ian12a->Ian07 Tell me about Shady Sands.
