Under the Redwood Tree
Jacob Alure
The Run
The Veluwe is a small but wild area, with the wildlife having forced out nearly all people over the past decades. The former city of Arnhem even bankrupted itself building a protective wall, after which they were assimilated into Riverplex. Normally Jacob would use some Coyote services to smuggle his wares in, but because he needs to pay bodyguards he'll have to actually drive in. It is breeding season at the Veluwe, with wild boars raising their offspring. This makes them rather protective. Meanwhile, Fenrir Wolves are hunting whatever easy prey they can get their hands on. On top of that there's magic chickens. The runners need to frequently stop to check the arcane encoded directions Secondhand left Jacob, which gives them chances to encounter the wildlife.7 Karma
Word on the street
"Be careful in those woods. I hear there's some sinister folks setting up camp there nowadays, only God knows why."
"Secondhand always had my bloody back. I'd never forgive myself for not helping him when he's in a shitty situation."
"You know what's scarier than a pack of wolves? A flock of magic chickens charging you to peck you."
"They want my base? They can have it over their dead bodies. We can blame it on royal mercs, and hand in the corpses for a decent bounty. Don't feel bad, they deserve it."
I was ready to like already seeing that it is a nature based run, which happen way too rarely in SR. I would be dying to throw magic chicken at my runners! Fun idea!
Yeah be careful with those. I hear if you bully them, you get an entire flock swarming you and pecking you to death. This guy called Link can tell you all about that.
