Edge of The Lost Colony
Hooded waif: ...Oh. Another one? Great...well, fine. If you want to know...
-She points to a billboard, one of the few structures remaining here-
Wastelands
-The black figure Argus is staring at doesn't seem to have any apparent drive or purpose to its existence. It slowly moves in a similar direction to the hulking figure from before, but seems to do so in a limping fashion, in between making retching sounds and twitching violently. Staring at this thing makes you feel...dirty. Like watching the foulness of unlife given corporeal form-
-This place is pretty darn messed up, in other words. Even the inhabitants seem messed up-

-The billboard has something spray-painted over it in the crudest fashion, enough to cover up what the old one was. All you can see is-
WELCOME TO THE LOST COLONY

-The people here sure have a healthy sense of humor, huh?-
Hooded waif: Good guess, but not interested in a circus act. Yet, at least.
Wastelands
-Argus eventually sees the bus stuck at the edge of the...town, it probably was at one point. Looks kind of like a shithole-
-Although on passing the weird shadow manthing, she can hear it muttering "tHe TrEaSUre..." over and over again-

-Magilou's reference goes over the alien's head as it continues watching the Demon in front of it-
Wastelands
-From a distance, Argus observes the bus-
-...Then she hears the shadow thing muttering about treasure, and decides that's a better hook than some run-down bus-
-So she follows-

Hooded Waif: @Deathclaw Welcome to the last bit of civilization in this place. Feel free to start building whatever castles you want or ruin any corpses you come across, because this is all you get here.
@Koris ...Fiiiiiine...ruin all my fun, why don't you?
-She points to a building in the distance-
Big ass building. Big ass treasure vault. Has a way out of this shithole.
Big-ass shield and defenses that will turn you to atoms.
Need people to strong-arm local cults and gangs into getting those defenses down.
And then break into big-ass vault.
...That clear enough?
Wastelands
-The shadowman continues to shamble in towards the ruined city...although it stops. And slowly turns to look at Argus, even as far away as she is-

???: We will be press-ganging the locals into securing our means of escape?
Very well.
Wastelands
-Argus stops moving, staring down the shadowman-

Hooded Waif: ...Call me "Nagi" for now.
And if I were picky about my help, I wouldn't be talking to you all.
@Robesy the Robe guy We beat down the security inside so we can bring our loot out. There's going to be security inside, you know.
Wastelands
-The shadow holds out an emicated arm towards Argus, repeating its drone of "treasure" or something like that, like a demand-

-A man in a bloodied cowboy get up pulls himself from a ditch, a bottle in one of his hands-
???: "What the...Ah hell! The bloody bastards ditched me again! If I didn't know how to pilot that junker..."
-Walks his way towards town-
