A Friend in Need |
|
Stage 1 |
Location: | Varion City (Outskirts) (6, 3) |
Varion City is almost a ruin, it must have seen centuries of fighting to reduce it to such rotting rubble. But with the functional Dome to keep out the sand and radiation it still has value. The surviving population has obviously tried to rebuild, with varying degrees of success. But the steady onslaught of misery has taken its toll on the place.
You have run into the Street Punks on more than one occasion, but have dealt with the bullies easily. You are stunned when you find the Mutant Trader you met earlier in the Ashstorm Plain on his knees with a pistol pressed to his head. |
|
The Trader sees your expression, 'Please do not get involved my friend. There are just too many of them.' The Leader of the group swaggers up to you. 'What's this to you chum? You his pal?' You stare straight into his eyes and say nothing, he isn't used to such a challenge and back peddles quickly. 'Look, we can't have Mutant riff-raff in Varion. If they can pay or work its fine. But this guy can't even get a decent change of cloths.' You take a deep breath and explain that he just wanted to trade his Ratite Lamp and get some Credits. The Street Punk seems to feel his fellow gang members giving him sideways glances, he makes a snap decision.
'Well since you on such good terms with the bum you can earn his life. The Street Lord says that nobody can stay in Varion if they can't afford it. So you need to earn his life. Just defeat 200 Street Punks and we'll talk further.' |

Stage 2 |
Location: | Varion City (Outskirts) (6, 3) |
The Street Punk stands confidently with is gang mates, they still hold the Mutant Trader at gun point. The Street Punk walks up to you, 'You defeated 200 Street Punks yet?' |
|
The smile on the Street Punks fades slowly, 'Err, that can't be right ...' To your utter astonishment he suddenly bolts. Even his gang mates stare off after him in amazement.
One of them pipes up, 'You probably should try to follow him. He'll be going to see a Road Hunter in the Maze for advice.' He points east in embarrassment. |

|
Stage 3 |
Location: | Varion City (Maze) (2, 9) |
The Street Punk talks to a tall young woman dressed in light chain armor. When he sees you he points then runs off again! |
|
The Road Hunter grins at you, 'We protect our own. You must prove that you can back up your attitude. Take this Hunters Mark Blueprint, return to me when you have made it, and then I'll tell you where he went.
You receive 1 x Hunters Mark Blueprint |

|
Stage 4 |
Location: | Varion City (Maze) (2, 9) |
The Road Hunter waits for your return, 'Have you got a Hunters Mark to prove your worth?' |
|
The Raod Hunter takes the Mark from you, 'Only the most determined and fierce Hunters can gain this.' She bows slightly to you, 'The Street Punk went to the Varion City (Heights) to seek protection from the Street Lord. You will find him there. |
|
|
Stage 5 |
Location: | Varion City (Heights) (3, 1) |
In a quiet corner you find the Street Punk whining in fear. |
|
The coward backs away from you, 'How, how did you get past the Hunters! That's not fair.' But before you can answer him you hear a grinding roar, and its getting louder. You turn to face whatever is coming.
The rider in black armor halts just before you, 'I am the Street Lord, Leader of The Dark Eagle. If you want to discipline one of my Punks you must first take my place. If you dare.' And with that he rides off laughing.
You must kill the Varion Street Lord (Elite). |
|
|
Stage 6 |
Location: | Varion City (Heights) (3, 1) |
The Street Punk whimpers before you, 'You can't touch me without taking the Street Lord (Elite) out first, you done that?' |
|
The Street Punk blinks at you. 'But, but that means that you're the Leader of The Dark Eagle! Umm, what do you want from me?' You smile, 'First, I want the bullying of innocents to stop in Varion City. Second, I don't want cowards in my Gang.' The Street Punk tries to run, but you kill him before he takes a step.
As you are cleaning your weapon the Road Hunter you met in the Maze greets you. 'I see you found the Punk you were looking for. What do you want now Street Lord?' You let the bloody rag fall to the ground, 'I wish the Mutant Prisoner released. Then I want someone with honor and backbone to succeed me. You fit that description well. Run the gang with honor, if not - I shall return.' You bow slightly to her, she stiffens. 'I shall do as you command.'
You receive 123,609 Xp + 12 Skill Points |
